Chapter 6 Lend-leases and buyouts

Bayern Munich Academy

"How's this short left-back?" David looked at Ram, who was concentrating on training, and said to Loew proudly.

Loew, on the other hand, stared intently at Lahm's every move on the training ground, judging the player's ability and potential from a professional point of view.

"I have to say that this is a good player, even if he can't get a foothold in Bayern's first team now, but his solid fundamentals and flexible mind are enough for him to find a place in other Bundesliga teams, and may even become the main team, if the development is good, the future is limitless!" Loew's eyes were vicious, and he quickly judged Ram's level.

David laughed without an image, this is the future captain of Bayern and Germany, the world's top full-back.

'Now Lizarazu is at his peak, with former German national team's main left-back Tanat on the bench, Lahm can't get into the first team's eyes for a short time, so we have a chance to grab him!'

That's right, Ram was David's first target.

Loew frowned slightly, but he was not too optimistic that David could successfully bring Rahm under his command, such an outstanding young player, Bayern would not be stupid enough to release him directly.

Perhaps seeing Loew's thoughts, David Shi Shiran said: "We will first loan him over, and then set a buyout clause in the loan contract, if this number Bayern can't refuse, then Lahm is ours!" ”

David looked confident, because he knew that in the future, Lahm was on loan to Stuttgart because of his old age, helping Stuttgart win the Bundesliga title in the 03-04 season.

After talking about Lahm, David turned his attention to another player, but this player was on a different field, where Bayern's reserve team was training.

Misimovic, who was not a top star in his previous life, but he is also close to a first-class level, once won the Bundesliga assist king at Wolfsburg, which is the substitute forward that David prepared for the team.

Compared to Lahm, Missy is now more mature, like a star player in the development team, with a lot of discipline with the ball, in Loew's opinion, this level can also establish itself in the Bundesliga, not to mention Notts County, who are still hovering in League Two.

This time it was Loew's turn to say nothing, if the players selected by David were of this standard, then it would not be difficult to give him a period of time, even if he was based in the Premier League, let alone promotion from League Two.

With the target in mind, David and Loew contacted FC Bayern directly to discuss loan transfers for both players, without any delay.

Missy's move is easy to finalise, and it is welcome that such a young player who cannot establish himself in the first team can bring a transfer fee, even if it is small, to the club.

For 50w euros, Missy became part of Notts County.

But on Ram's side, negotiations are somewhat difficult.

Lahm Bayern is not going to sell, at least not now, because no one is going to offer too much for a young man and they are bullish on Lahm's potential.

Since they can't play in the first team for the time being, it is a good idea to go out on loan, but Bayern prefer to loan Lahm to a team in Germany because they can follow him and keep an eye on his development.

And Notts County, a team in the third tier of England, is not in their consideration, you know, England's lower league is known for its brutality and dirtiness, and they don't want their players to be scrapped in a foreign country.

However, when David proposed to increase the buyout clause and offered a "sky-high" buyout amount, the Germans were instantly moved.

On a two-year loan, David offered a buyout clause of €1,000w, and if Notts County did not enforce the buyout clause after two years, Bayern would be paid €300w on loan.

Lahm is favored, but not to the point of not being for sale, if Notts County can really pay 1000w to buy it out in two years, then Bayern will really make it.

Even if Notts County does not activate the buyout clause, then Bayern still have 300w in the account, and the player has been trained, even if the growth is slightly delayed, it is still worth it.

So Lahm's loan was also successfully agreed, and Notts County and Bayern were happy, but who will cry and laugh in the future, I'm afraid only David himself knows.

After securing the transfers of Lahm and Missy, David took Westermann from German third-tier side Alzenau for a transfer fee of 120w euros, and at this time, Westmann had been selected for the German Under-21 national team.

At this point, Loew has initially believed that David is really unique, at least from the perspective of these three players, it seems that he is a little better than himself.

The last stop in Germany was Hannover, where David took 18-year-old Mertesacker with him, as well as his father, who coached the youth team, and it happened that the youth academy in Notts County was also being planned and improved, and such talent was lacking.

"Maybe it's an exciting challenge, but I hope we have a good time working together!" Before David boarded the plane to Spain, Loew said.

As he said, he accepted David's offer to become Notts County manager for the new season, and he will lead the team to League Two and he is looking forward to leading a group of talented players to win trophies.

David smiled and waved his hand, and the heart that had been hanging finally let go, because he really couldn't find a suitable manager in a short time, if he could only choose a manager at the League Two level, then he would rather put on his own game.

The success of the trip to Germany gave David confidence in his own move to lure the future star, but he also knew that the road was under his feet and that it was just beginning.

Take away Villa from Sporting Gijón for 50w euros.

It cost 40w euros to take young goalkeeper Diego López from Real Madrid's C team.

These are two transfers that have been successfully completed, and David doesn't even have to do the player's job himself.

However, David has really put a lot of effort into the other two future superstars, but in his opinion, as long as these two players can come, everything is worth it.

First of all, David planned for Notts County for the next 10 years as the midfield commander, Xavi Alonso, who was affectionately known by the fans as the leading big brother of Brother Long.

David knows all too well how much a top-level playmaker can bring to a team in the future, and there are always a few top defenders, and Alonso is undoubtedly the best of them.
