"It's been a tough transfer market this year!"

The first high-level meeting of the new season at Atletico Madrid was not deliberately arranged. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the morning of Gao Han's return to Madrid, after reporting to the Sports City, the management triumvirate, the team leader, the chief scout and the core coaching staff all came to his office.

A dozen or so people sat around the coffee table like this, brewing the new tea brought from China by Gao Han, and chatting.

"The crisis of the Bundesliga has obviously affected the entire European football scene, and now it is not only the small teams that are thrifty, but even the big teams are shrinking their hands, and there are even many teams in Serie A that are in financial crisis, and Real Madrid, which insists on a superstar a year, is also difficult to make an inch of progress in transfer operations. ”

Paul Futrley analysed the current situation in European football and said that it was not optimistic.

As the so-called Chunjiang plumbing duck prophet, whether life is good or not, look at the transfer market is the clearest.

Compared to the prosperity of previous years, this year is too shabby.

If nothing else, let's talk about Real Madrid.

If Florentino had money, and then he would have smashed it desperately like he had done in the past two years, and he didn't even need 50 million euros, as long as he could get 40 million euros, Lazio would definitely give Nesta with both hands, or as for the current?

"Now in the whole transfer market, we can be regarded as local tyrants. Little Hill laughed.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"What is our transfer budget this year?" asked Gao Han with a smile.

Cerezo looked at the crowd around him, "Thirty million euros." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, indeed a local tyrant, if you talk well, you can buy a superstar.

"It's also thanks to the high cold. Cerezo looked at Gao Han with gratitude, "The team's performance in the past two seasons has been eye-catching, especially last season, which has greatly driven the team's commercial development, and the income has increased a lot, but the transfer investment is very small. ”

"This summer, we sold Fernando Correa and sent away veteran Oscar Mena, so not only did we have a lot of money left, but we also got a transfer income, so we had a big budget. ”

Speaking of this, Cerezo looked at Gao Han fixedly, "How to spend this budget, you decide." ”

Except for the Big Three, everyone else was shocked and looked at Gao Han in unison.

That's 30 million euros!

But Gao Han thought about it, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I really don't know how to spend it!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

It can be seen that too much money is also a very troublesome thing.

"Let me talk about the current transfer news related to our team. Paul Futrey said.

It wasn't until everyone had seen it that the Portuguese hooknose spoke again.

'I've been called by AC Milan's Julian Galliani to bring in Xavi Alonso and they want to do it with players and cash, José Mari, Albertini and Coloccini. ”

Paul Futrey smiled, "I even think that if we are willing to talk, it will be fine to exchange one for the three of them." ”

The 23-year-old Jose Mari, a striker and winger, made his debut at Sevilla but became famous at Atletico Madrid before moving to AC Milan for a whopping 19 million euros.

Albertini is a veteran and also plays in the back.

As for the Argentine central defender Coloccini, who is only 20 years old, is the rising star of the Argentine central defender, he did not get a chance after joining AC Milan, but Alaves, who was loaned to La Liga last season, became the backbone of the team's defense, performed very well, and was known as the little lion king.

Three for one, it is indeed a bit sincere, but Gao Han is not interested.

He shook his head without even thinking about it, "They want to be beautiful, three substitutes and unwanted players, they want to exchange Xavi Alonso?"

Everyone also knows that Xavi Alonso is not only a midfielder who has been dug and cultivated by Gao Han, but also the core of the future midfield that everyone in the Sheets Army has high hopes for.

Roma also called and asked about Guardiola's asking price. Paul Futtre continued.

Gao Han sneered, "Push, don't sell!"

Barcelona are interested in Xavi Alonso and Villa, with Louis van Gaal reportedly handing Xavi Alonso to take over the number four and Villa replacing Rivaldo. ”

But as soon as the Portuguese finished speaking, Gao Han asked strangely, "Do they have money?"

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Little Hill asked this before, and the Catalan media was speechless when asked, and now Gao Han asks again, and the answer is the same.

No money!

"I heard that after selling Rivaldo, there will be money. Paul Futrey laughed.

The crowd laughed again.

The majestic giants, Barcelona have indeed been cold in recent years.

"By the way, has Valencia been doing anything lately?" Gao Han suddenly remembered the Bat Legion.

As last season's runners-up, the Bat Legion is too low-key, and there is a suspicion of making a fortune in a muffled voice.

Benitez is not an easy guy.

"It's the same, lack of money, I heard that I've been having trouble with Lazio lately. Little Hill was more familiar with these things, and replied.

"What's going on?"

Little Hill shook his head and smiled: "It's not the transfer of Mendieta back then?" Lazio is in arrears on the installments that have expired, but Valencia is desperate to get funds, invest in the transfer market, and strengthen the squad, and Lazio has no money, so they want to return the poor Mendieta, but how can Valencia be willing?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't laugh, but sighed.

Mendieta, the current Spanish international, was a superstar player in European football a year ago, but a year later, he was reduced to the current field, and it has become a hot potato on the shelves that no one can avoid.

The gap is really embarrassing.

But Gao Han saw more than that, "Winter is really coming!"

Everyone is also in their hearts, and who says it is not?

Even Lazio and Valencia are starting to uncover the pot, and a depression in the transfer market is inevitable.

This is also to blame for the fact that the past few years have been too hot, the seven sisters of Serie A, the two giants of La Liga, plus the Premier League and the Bundesliga, the entire European football scene is in a mess, and all teams are burning money lavishly, which directly leads to the expansion of the entire transfer market.

Well, now that the Kilsch Group went bankrupt before the World Cup, the Bundesliga was greatly affected, including Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, many teams were in deep crisis, and the Bundesliga sank.

But European football has long been integrated, and the decline of the Bundesliga has naturally affected other European leagues, especially La Liga and Serie A.

Relatively speaking, the Premier League is relatively good, the broadcast rights are well developed, coupled with the strong commercial operation ability, the impact is relatively small, and several teams such as Manchester United and Arsenal still have good purchasing power.

But on the whole, the cold winter is really coming.

Gao Han exhaled heavily, stopped thinking about these questions, and looked at Paul Futrey again.

'Do you have any advice from the technical department regarding midfield signings?'

The Portuguese nodded immediately and handed over a document, "Based on your previous request, we worked with the scouting department to finally circle a few players. ”

After Gao Han opened it, he put it on the coffee table, and the members of the surrounding coaching staff gathered around.

"Edgar Davies, a 29-year-old boar in his prime, was not liked by Lippi and was almost sent to Arsenal during the winter break, but then stayed and Juventus offered him 10 million euros. ”

Gao Han nodded slightly, his heart moved, his eyes swept away, and Edgar Davis's data immediately appeared.

The potential is one hundred and eighty-five, and the strength is one hundred and seventy-four, which is quite a good midfielder.

And he is a winger, with excellent skills at his feet, both offensive and defensive, and he is small, which is in line with Gao Han's midfield positioning.

"The Dutch midfielder's strengths, everybody's known, but his shortcomings are also obvious, he is certainly not willing to be a substitute, it is even difficult to accept rotation, and his salary is also a big problem, he has a high spirit. ”

As a world-class midfielder, Davies' salary is indeed not cheap compared to Atletico Madrid.

I'm afraid I'll have to break the salary structure of the team.

"Lazio recently contacted us through an intermediary who was interested in selling Mendieta, López López and Simeone to raise funds for the new coach Roberto Mancini's overhaul. ”

Lazio's offer for Mendieta is 20 million euros and allows him to go on a one-year loan, which is more than half the price he paid for a year ago, which was 48 million euros. ”

Everyone was surprised.

Although Mendieta's performance in Serie A is sluggish, his strength is certainly not a problem.

In just one year, it has shrunk by 28 million euros, not only because of the poor performance of the players, but also because of the bubble being squeezed out.

"Lazio's offer for Claudio López is 15 million euros, while the offer for Diego Simeone is only 2.5 million euros. ”

After moving from Valencia to Lazio, although López's performance is not as good as La Liga, it is still okay, and his value has not shrunk seriously from 22 million euros two years ago.

As for Simeone, who spent most of his time recuperating last season, he later played in the World Cup, and his performances were not ideal, and he even avenged Beckham against England, and it is said that the first target of manager Roberto Mancini's purge was the Argentine midfielder.

Of the three players, Mendieta and Simeone can both play in the position of Marcos Senna, especially Simeone.

As the humerus of Atletico Madrid's double that year, it was in this position that he shone brightly.

"AC Milan also gave the green light to Albertini's transfer, a player who is older but has been very consistent, and according to the answers I received from his agent, although his salary is as high as 3.5 million euros a year, he is willing to take a pay cut, and AC Milan are also willing to pay part of the salary. ”

"We also contacted PSV Eindhoven's Van Bommel for a player who has done well in the Netherlands, attacking and defending, but his transfer fee is not cheap, at least 15 million euros to convince PSV to let him go. ”

When Gao Han heard this, he knew it in his heart.

Among the candidates, Mendieta is the biggest name and the most exciting for fans, but he is also the most valuable and salary.

Of course, as the biggest superstar player, if you can use it well, Mendieta's strength is also the strongest.

Davis is the most suitable for the alpine requirements, but this guy is a thorn, the most difficult to manage, and he can't accept substitutions and rotations.

Van Bommel is not a big player, but he is in the rising stage of his career, and he is worth a lot of money and has excellent strength.

Albertini is the most cost-effective, but his most suitable position is in the middle of the midfield, that is, the position of Pep Guardiola and Xavi Alonso, and the position of Marcos Senna may not be suitable.

As for Diego Simeone, Gao Han has seen it with a keen eye, and his strength has dropped a lot since he was injured, only 160, which is the weakest among several candidates, but he is a famous legend of Atletico Madrid and is loved by fans.

Such a circle looks like it is all suitable, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

What a headache!

People say it's hard to make money, but I'm the opposite.

Why is it so difficult to spend money?(To be continued.) )
