"Fernando, it looks like we've not been in touch for a long time." Dick said to Torres with a smile.

"I've been following you...... What a wonderful thing it would have been if you hadn't left Atletico at that time. Torres, with his cap, sat down in front of Dick and sighed.

"Things from the past...... Just let it pass, I thought I was going to coach at Atletico until I wanted to retire. Dick shook his head: "But now, if I hadn't left Atletico Madrid, how would I have had such a wonderful five years." ”

"Boss, I want to know, will you ever come back to Atletico in the future?" Torres was silent for a moment, then asked suddenly.

Dick looked at Torres, and then laughed.

"If I don't want to go back to Atletico, why am I working so hard to make money?"

At Dick's words, Torres' eyes lit up.

"Boss, what's next? Is there anything I can do to help? Torres said excitedly.

"Come to Manchester City, let's work together for two years! If I go back to Atletico, I'll definitely go back with you. Dick smiled and replied, "But don't tell me about it." ”

Torres nodded desperately: "I know...... I'm going to go back and apply for a transfer. ”

"Don't worry, I don't have any transfer funds on hand right now, as long as you reveal that intention." Dick smiled.

He hasn't been communicating with Torres for a long time, but Dick doesn't feel that he needs to communicate too much time, just like Torres has been paying attention to his coaching results, he has also been paying attention to Torres's performance, I have to say that Torres is now performing better than in history, such a top striker, is exactly what Dick needs now, and another key is to go to a new team, how to do it without one or two descendants, although Dick was not a complete main force when Dick was in Atletico Madrid, but it is an absolute descendant.

Abasolo is now the president of Atletico Madrid - originally after the death of the old Hill, Little Hill should have taken over as the president of Atletico Madrid, but Dick came to such a hand, and Little Hill could only be forced to abdicate, but he was also smart and knew that Cerezo could not be made the chairman, so in the case of checks and balances on both sides, Abasolo with the least shares became the chairman of Atletico Madrid, and he worked for five years.

Abasolo is an honest man, and he is also a person who hopes that Atletico Madrid can be good, but after all, his ability is still limited, and he does not have many shares, so if he wants to invest, he has to get the approval of Cerezo and Little Hill.

So after seeing Dick, Abasolo did not show any opposing emotions, but poured a lot of bitter water on Dick, in Abasolo opinion, Dick was in charge of the team, and the two years when Old Hill was in charge of the entire club were really the happiest days, he was responsible for paying for it, and watched the team continue to win championships......

Dick smiled as he listened to Abasolo complaining, and waited until Abasolo had almost finished spitting before explaining his intentions.

"What? Want to buy Torres? No kidding, Dick, you should know what Torres means to Atletico! He is the banner of Atletico Madrid, it is impossible to leave Atletico! Hearing Dick's words, Abasolo immediately shook his head, Atletico Madrid is not very bad for money now, after all, their income has always been very considerable, and several shareholders are willing to invest money, except for little Hill is now a little stingy, how can he sell a banner figure like Torres for money.

"Twenty million." Dick threw out a number and added, "Pound sterling." ”

"Uh......" Abasolo was a little stunned, 20 million pounds is not a small number, according to the current exchange rate, it is almost equal to 30 million euros, and Atletico Madrid's players rarely sell for such a price.

"I'm sorry, I don't think it's about the money......" Abasolo refused after thinking about it, he didn't want to be scolded by the Atletico fans......

"We don't have to rush to discuss this matter, and I don't think it's something you can decide alone, you can discuss it with the board, if 20 million pounds is not enough, another 5 million is no problem, and we can even provide Mpongsa and Corradi as two good strikers as additions."

Dick pulled the topic away with a smile, he was not in a hurry, Torres's blockbuster transfer could not be completed in a day or two.

After meeting Torres and Abasolo in Madrid, Dick did not stay in Madrid, but soon left Spain for France.

This time, he did not stop in Paris or Monaco, but in Marseille.

His goal this time is to shine at last summer's World Cup, and Francois Ribery, a French national team winger who has also continued to excel in Marseille this season.

In fact, after the outstanding performance in the World Cup, there are many people who feel that Ribery is leaving Ligue 1, after all, in the past ten years, Ligue 1 has played a similar role to the Eredivisie, and the players who have been trained are all over the five major leagues, and the influence of Ligue 1 is not as good as the three major leagues, and it is even far inferior to the Bundesliga This is an indisputable fact, but Ribery chose to stay in Marseille for another season, which is a good choice, although his attendance this season is not as much as last season because of the impact of the World Cup, However, the performance has improved a lot, with one less goal, five more assists, and ten fewer appearances, which is enough to prove that the 24-year-old is still improving.

And when this summer comes, Marseille knows that they can no longer keep this player, plus the rise of another genius Nasri, Ribery is not indispensable to Marseille, at this time to sell Ribery can get the greatest benefit, after all, in the summer of 05, Ribery joined Marseille as a free agent, and now with his value, it is enough to make Marseille make a lot of money.

Before Dick came to Marseille, Bayern was already very close to Ribery, Bayern failed to win the title last season, and they also began their own renewal in the front field, and now they are close to getting Klose, and are discussing the transfer of Tony with Inter Milan, and at the same time they also fancy Ribery, hoping to bring him in to strengthen the attack on the wing, after all, several of Bayern's wide attackers are now about to be renewed, Sauer retired, Deisler retired due to depression, and Salihamidzic is old......

As a result, Dick stepped in the transfer with a nouveau riche stance.

"Twenty million pounds." Dick once again offered such a price, dwarfing Bayern's previous price of 25 million euros.

Everyone knows that Bayern has money, but as the richest club in the Bundesliga, their money does not fall from the sky, but accumulated through proper management, Bayern rarely spends money in the transfer market, but they will not be soft when they need to be updated, but there are too many places for them to spend money this summer, Klose and Toney have to spend a lot of their money, if they invest too much in a summer, they are also unbearable.

Seeing Dick's aggressive appearance, and then saying that Lao Tzu lacks everything is not short of money, the rational Bayern retreated, they knew that bidding would only be cheaper Marseille, and Dick has always been very cunning, if he really threw too much money on Ribery, maybe he would be overpowered by him in other competitions, after evaluating Ribery's performance and actual value, Bayern refused to raise the transfer fee, and Marseille was also very professional and did not only agree to Manchester City's offer, Instead, they agreed to the offers of the two clubs.

"What's there to do in the Bundesliga? After all, the influence there is not as good as that of the Premier League...... Although we will only be able to play in England next season, how much better can Bayern be? They are just going to play in the League Cup, going to Bayern to challenge for the championship or Manchester City to impact the championship, which is more fulfilling? Besides, Bayern won't give you so much salary, we can give, five million euros a year, and you can increase your salary if you perform well in the future, you must know that our backstage is a big boss! ”

Dick knew that his own popularity alone was not enough to tempt everyone, not to mention that Ribery had no friendship with him, so he directly put forward the best conditions that Manchester City could give, and directly touched Ribery's heart.

Ribery is a poor boy, and Dick's personal attraction is enough, he is almost a symbol of the championship, going to Manchester City has a higher salary, and is more likely to get more honors, even if Bayern's attraction is N notches higher than Manchester City, at this moment, he has not been able to compete with Manchester City.

When Franck Ribery signed his name on a four-year contract offered by Manchester City, City's first real blockbuster signing of the summer was born.

Despite spending £24 million on Ashley Young, Scott Parker and Leighton Barnes, the price of these three homegrown players is a little inflated, and they are not among the top players, but Ribery is different, and his consistent performances this season have solidified his performances at the World Cup, if not the top, but at least the top.

When the news came out, the entire European football world was shaken, because almost everyone thought that Ribery would go to Bayern, after all, Bayern was more attractive than Manchester City, but now, Ribery is going to Manchester City......

And when the details of the contract were revealed, it was discovered that it was not Marseille who coveted Manchester City for more money, but after Marseille agreed to the offer of both parties, Ribery chose Manchester City, why? The reason is very simple, because Manchester City has Dick, Manchester City, who were still fighting for relegation last season, immediately made people think that they would be a strong contender for the league title next season after signing Dick!

In the past, people would not think that a manager would bring such a huge change, but now, Dick is using the prestige he has accumulated to change this perception and attitude!

"Frank, you won't regret your decision today...... The Premier League title, the Champions Cup, waiting for us to get it together. Dick said to Ribery after he signed his contract.

Ribery gave an ugly smile: "I believe that, chief, but there don't seem to be enough people at Manchester City right now. ”

'It's not enough, but I still have over £100 million in transfer funds, enough for us to build a top team.' Dick said with a smile.

"More than 100 million?" Ribery was taken aback by the figure.

"That's right, you know, our current boss, very rich, very rich...... That's why we signed you. Dick patted Ribery on the shoulder.
