Chapter 286: The sought-after Deco

After finalizing all the transfers, David thought he could take a good rest, but someone didn't let David get his way.

Porto's president, Costa, called David eight times a day, because he knew that only David could call the shots of Notts County's player transfers, so he would tirelessly harass David.

"As I said, Deco is an important member of our first team this season and we won't sell him!" David doesn't know how many times it will be the same thing as Costa.

"No, no, no, my friend, I'm thinking about you, you already have Alonso, if Deco is also in Notts County, there will be overlap between the two positions, which is the biggest waste of resources, and it is not good for Notts County or for the players." Costa's voice was filled with hypocritical concern and seduction, as if he was really admonishing David as a friend.

David really couldn't understand what the scheming Costa was!

Deco is very good, yes, but after all, Porto has not won the Champions Cup, and only a League Cup runner-up may not be able to make the giants tempted.

If David is not mistaken, Deco transferred to Barcelona after Porto won the Champions League, and the transfer fee at that time was roughly 2000w euros, but now he can't reach such a value, even if Porto buys his ownership for 1200w euros or more, he can't make millions of dollars from changing hands.

Anyway, Porto is also a Portuguese Super League giant, as for spending all day with himself for those small millions?

Or does Porto really want Deco to stay?

Well, it's not impossible!

Jose Mourinho led his side to the final of the UEFA Cup, where they were arguably defeated by Notts County, but that didn't stop them from having bigger ambitions.

Why can't we make a bigger breakthrough in the Champions Cup!

If you want to say who is the most important in the Porto team, the first is undoubtedly Mourinho, and the most important player must be the team's commander Deco, if there is no midfield master, then Porto's strength may drop a notch.

Without Carvalho, the leader of the rear, Mourinho's ability to find a replacement has already made him lose hundreds of hairs, and if the team loses the core of the midfield, then simply stop playing!

Go home and wash up and sleep!

So Mourinho has given Costa an ultimatum that if he wants to maintain his current results or go to the next level, he must keep Deco or find a replacement in the same class, otherwise he will not dare to guarantee Porto's results next season.

Costa was naturally full of money, how could he have thought that his greed at that time had caused the consequences now!

However, he is very urgent to buy Deco back, even if Mourinho's feelings are not considered, Deco is worth his shot.

If Porto can go further in the Champions League next season, then Deco, as the core of the team, will inevitably rise in value, and it will be a lot of money to sell.

That's why now Costa is harassing David, hoping that Notts County will send Deco back to Porto.

"I don't think there is any overlap between the two positions, Mr. Costa, you know, we in Notts County have lost a main midfielder in the summer, and Deco, who is both offensive and defensive, can sit in the main force, so you don't need to worry about it!" David's tone was very cold, because if he was harassed many times a day, he would not be in a good mood.

However, Costa on the other end of the phone was obviously unwilling to give up, "I know that Meireles has gone to Chelsea, but as far as I know, Meireles is more of a defensive task in the Notts County team, protecting Alonso, and it would be a waste to let Deco do this job." If you agree, I will use our captain Costinha to exchange Deco for you, Costinha is a pure defensive midfielder and the main player of the Portuguese national team, and you will definitely not lose this deal! ”

Speaking of which, Costa looked compassionate again, as if he had contributed much to Notts County.

If Costa were standing in front of him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to resist smashing a punch in Costa in the face.

This business has been done by him!

Of course, Costina's midfielder David knows, and as Costa said, he is the absolute main force in the Portuguese national team and Porto's midfield position, and he is not small.

But you know, Costinha is 30 years old, and he is still a pure defensive defender, and the transfer market values him at less than 500w euros.

You take a 30-year-old defensive midfielder and want to replace me with a playmaker in my playing years, you can say it!

And Notts County already have Mascherano as a purely defensive midfielder, so what do you want Costinha to do?

Be a mascot?

Even if we want a mascot, we also have Hubnell, his beard is much sexier!

"Alright, Mr. Costa, we're all very busy, and I repeat once again, Notts County won't sell Deco, if nothing else, please forgive my faux pas!" Anyway, without giving Costa a chance to continue talking, David hung up the phone directly.

Some people can't be polite to him, otherwise he will kick his nose in the face!

Forget it, I don't plan to be any friendly club with Porto anyway, just ignore the old fox.

In fact, the truth contained in it is not clear to David, and now Costa is harassing David so much, and he is partly to blame David himself.

Deco is not as unpopular as David thinks, and it is not that no one was interested in Deco before Porto won the Champions League in his previous life.

For example, Barcelona, for example, Liverpool

After Pep Guardiola left Camp Nou, Barcelona did not find the core players who were able to organize the team's attack well, although in this position, there are Motta and Xavi from their own academy, but these two young players are not mature enough to support a top giant.

Especially after Rijkaard took over, the style of play of passing and control necessarily requires a real playmaker, and although Xavi has this potential, at the moment, someone is needed to shield him from the wind and rain for a few seasons.

This type of player is not easy to find, and Deco, a Brazilian midfielder who has become a Portuguese citizen, naturally entered Barcelona's sights.

For Liverpool, there is also a need for a strong playmaker who can not only sort out the team's attack, but also further unleash Gerrard's attacking power, so the Reds also turned their attention to Deco. (To be continued.) )
