Chapter 320: Atletico Madrid's transfer moves

Modric moves to Atletico Madrid!

The news was soon announced by both clubs!

This summer transfer window has just kicked off, and Atletico Madrid suddenly won his first summer signing quietly, which seems to be interpreted by the outside world as Gao Bo has the full support of Atletico Madrid!

“....... Not long after the transfer window, Atletico Madrid won their first signing of the summer! They signed the core of Croatian midfielder Luka Modric! Although Croatia did not reach the finals of this year's World Cup, Croatia currently has a group of young talents, and perhaps in the next World Cup, the Croatian youth army is worth looking forward to. And now, Modric, as the most talked-about Croatian player, has been quietly taken by Atletico Madrid! The first signing of the summer for the Sheets made their fans quite excited!! ”

So said the newspaper Marca in its report.

This is indeed the case, and it can be seen from the recruitment whether a team has ambitions, and now Atletico Madrid is Modric as soon as he strikes, which fully shows that the club is ready to make a big splash in the new season.

Atletico Madrid fans are still very happy about the introduction of Modric, and even have a lot of good feelings for Gao Bo, the new manager.

However, Gao Bo's operation next made Atletico Madrid fans a little incomprehensible.

First of all, the captain Simao, who had half a year left on his contract, did not renew his contract and left the Turkish league.

Although Simao's contract has not fully expired, considering Simao's contribution to the team, the club did not charge a transfer fee, allowing Simão to go to the Turkish Super League giants Besiktas for free, which gave Simão the upper hand in salary negotiations, and he got a high salary of 7.5 million euros in Besiktas.

However, fans still miss Simao's departure very much.

Then came the news of the departure of the Atletico Madrid player.

Midfielder Robert transferred to Benfica for a fee of seven million euros.

Benfica then took Servio from Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid's first goalkeeper in the first two seasons, but now after De Gea and Asenjo took over, Servio also lost his position, and Benfica took the young goalkeeper for five million euros.

Then there is Domingos, the 24-year-old centre-back who is also highly regarded by the Portuguese Premier League side, with Porto taking Domingos for four million euros.

Goalkeeper Geya has also joined Ligue 1 Metz for three million euros.

Then there is centre-back Pablo Iniesta, who has one year left on his contract, and has been told that there will be no place for him next season, and Atletico Madrid can let the veteran go out and find a job for free.

Then Juanito, Salvio, Camache, Balde.......

A Modric was brought in, and as a result, almost half of Atletico Madrid's team was cleared.

This made Atletico Madrid fans start to panic.

The club is ... Not going to play anymore?

Fortunately, while the team is cleaning up redundant personnel, there are still players brought in.

The first was the buyback of Mario Suarez, according to which Atletico Madrid brought Mario back for only half a million euros.

And Diego Costa.

Costa joined Atletico Madrid in '08, but he was soon traded again. However, Atletico Madrid also has a buy-back agreement with Costa. One million euros! The striker was also brought back to the team.

Clearing redundant personnel has allowed Gao Bo to have a transfer budget of 20 million euros, plus after the introduction of Modric, the original budget of 25 million has spent 18 million, so Gao Bo still has 27 million in his hands.

This money can also bring in a few players, but the goal of recruiting Gao Bo is still not enough.

The World Cup is over, and the media is full of news about the World Cup Golden Boot Forlan these days.

Players who participated in the World Cup can postpone their return, and in fact due to the World Cup, this season's La Liga season starts on August 31.

Atletico Madrid's players will assemble on July 15, and those who will participate in the World Cup can postpone their return until July 25.

Gao Bo wants to get the transfer done before the team's training camp.

And the most crucial of these is Diego Fran!

Gao Bo and Diego Fran on the phone, and from the phone, Diego Fran has already revealed that he is leaving. Gao Bo also understands this.

If Diego Forlan is ready to leave, Gao Bo is actually happy to see it.

He now has Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa in the centre-forward position, and Forlan doesn't have a place for him if he stays.

And these days, there are also many teams offering Diego Forlan, this year is a World Cup year after all, and the World Cup Golden Boot Diego Forlan is hot!

Premier League teams such as Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea have all made similar offers, at the level of more than 20 million euros.

And the highest offer is Juventus.

They offered 25 million euros, 25 million euros for a 32-year-old veteran, which is already a very good price for Juventus.

"Reply to them, twenty-eight million euros, plus Immobile!! I'll just let Diego go! Gao Bo sat in his office chair and spoke on the phone with Jill Marin.

Immobile is 19 years old and physically strong, but he's not a physical striker, he's the type to run and lead with a sense of smell. Like Inzaghi, Gobo intends to bring the youngster up to the bench and when the situation is unclear, it may surprise to send a striker with a keen sense of smell.

The transfer power is in the hands of Gao Bo, and now the general manager Jill Marin has become an errand runner instead.

After that, Gao Bo suddenly remembered something: "Add one more, I don't accept installment payments!! ”

If you don't add this article, Juventus estimates that it will give you more than 20 million cents for ten years. Gao Bo wants cash! What he needs is to be able to collect his funds immediately so that his plan to bring in reinforcements can be completed.

Juventus' side quickly replied: "25 million euros plus Immobile, in exchange for Diego Forlan!" ”

Gao Bo also quickly made a final decision, and the two sides reached a deal!

In this way, Gao Bo has a transfer budget of more than 50 million euros in his hands!

The first thing that came to Gao Bo's mind was, of course, his old ministry in Luton.

Atletico Madrid is a new environment, and bringing a few henchmen with him is also very important for Gao Bo.

What he intends to take from Luton Town are Sandro, N'Golo Kante, Antoine Griezmann. It just so happens that these three players are also players under the agency he works with Mendes, and if they complete the transfer, Gao Bo can also make a fortune.

And they are their most loyal fans, and taking them away is just a phone call.

Atletico Madrid negotiated the transfer of the three players with Luton Town, and in the end Atletico Madrid spent 28 million euros to bring the trio to Calderón.

And Atletico Madrid's moves don't stop there.

On July 12, Atletico Madrid suddenly announced the signing of four players in one go.

Bought 50% ownership of Godin from Villarreal for eight million euros.

Eight million euros to take Boateng from Hamburg!

This was followed by four million euros to snatch Juanfran from relegated Osasuna!

Then Atletico Madrid also brought in Sadio Mane from Senegal's generational academy!

The outside world was stunned by the sudden continuous action of Atletico Madrid!

It's pretty much the rhythm of selling half of the players and then bringing in half of the players. A real super blood change!

And just as people were stunned, Atletico Madrid announced that their transfer for the season was over.

From now on, Atletico Madrid will neither buy nor sell!

This is Gao Bo's consistent style, and the transfer is done before the team's training camp begins, so as not to be disturbed by the team's pre-season training camp.

And in this way, Gao Bo has also determined his list for the new season.

Goalkeepers: De Gea - 1, Asenjo - 12, Joel - 24

Defenders: Juanfran - 3, Godin - 2, Boateng - 21, Antonio López - 4, Ouj Farousi - 5, Barella - 16, Perea - 17

Midfielders: Modric -15, Kante -6, Raul Garcia -8, Koke -32, Thiago Cardoso -13, Assunço -18. Mario Suarez - 22, Elias - 25

Forwards: Antoine Griezmann - 7, Aguero - 10, Reyes - 11, Diego Costa - 9, Immobile - 14, Mane - 28

Judging from this lineup, it is still quite luxurious, and the key now is how to pinch this lineup.
