Chapter 377: Don't Stay Fifth Shift
Chapter 377 is not forced to stay
In a café in Madrid, De Gea sat a little cramped across from Gao Bo.
Although Gao Bo is not very old and has not been the head coach of De Gea for a long time, in De Gea's opinion, Gao Bo has the most aura among the Atletico Madrid managers he has experienced.
Gao Bo just sat there and didn't say anything, which made De Gea feel nervous.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that the two sides have had face-to-face contact in private.
"David!"
Gao Bo straightened up from his chair.
This made De Gea a little nervous, and he rubbed his hands.
"Chief...."
Gao Bo stretched out his hand to stop the cramped De Gea's next words, and even if De Gea didn't say it, he knew what would be next.
"Can you tell us why you had to leave here and go to Manchester United?"
Gao Bo asked.
"Yes.. It's because—" De Gea looked up, looking at Gao Bo.
Gao Bo also did not have an aggressive posture.
In professional football, it is normal to go and stay, but Gao Bo is still very optimistic about De Gea, and he is still young enough, if De Gea is willing to stay at Atletico Madrid, Gao Bo will not have to worry about the goalkeeper in the next few seasons.
But if De Gea has to go, it's not a big deal.
In this team, Gao Bo still doesn't feel that there is any player who is indispensable.
De Gea saw that Gao Bo did not look angry, so he fought boldly.
"It's because I want to go to Manchester United, to a big club like this! And it was personally invited by Mr. Ferguson .... I can't turn down such an opportunity. ”
De Gea was relieved!
Gao Bo nodded.
"With your quality, it's normal to play as a regular at Manchester United. But.... David, what if Ferguson retired? ”
Gao Bo asked.
He is not alarmist, in a season or two, Ferguson will retire, when Manchester United lose the control of Ferguson, the helm of the empire, the big ship will go through several seasons of chaos, during this period of Manchester United may be difficult to regain the control of the Ferguson period.
After that, Manchester United went through Moyes, Van Gaal, and even Mourinho later, but there was no improvement.
After the departure of an old captain, it may take a long time for the big ship of Manchester United to sail smoothly.
And this period of time is probably difficult for the players to afford to wait.
However, Gao Bo can't say this directly, and if he predicts the situation of Manchester United in a few years now, not too many people will believe it.
And from De Gea's tone, Gao Bo also knew that De Gea's idea of wanting to leave was very firm.
It's not interesting to keep the players, what Gao Bo needs is players who fight side by side with him and strive for the same goal, not people who are always thinking about leaving.
Therefore, he was not going to obstruct it.
"I'm not going to stop you from leaving." Gao Bo said.
De Gea looked happy: "Thank you! Thank you, Chief! ”
"But...... This is for Manchester United to meet our transfer fee requirements first......."
Gao Bo looked at De Gea's embarrassed face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we won't offer a price that is too exaggerated." ”
De Gea was relieved and laughed.
Gao Bo sighed in his heart.
When Ferguson retires, you'll know... How hard will Manchester United be without Alex Ferguson.....
........
A second offer from Manchester United's side was delivered quickly.
Sixteen million pounds.
Gao Bo thought about it, why did Manchester United have to rush to buy De Gea in the winter window?
Could it be that something is wrong with Van der Sar?
Gao Bo is not very clear about the situation on United's side, but judging by the speed of their second offer, United should be quite urgent.
So Atletico Madrid left it to dry for a few days, and then replied: "Not for sale!!" ”
Gao Bo is not in a hurry, even if De Gea does not go through this winter transfer window, there is nothing to lose for Atletico Madrid.
Gao Bo pondered his memories of Van der Sar in later life, and finally remembered that Van der Sar will retire after this season, and it is no wonder that Manchester United are in a hurry to start buying people in the winter transfer window.
In this case, Atletico Madrid's side is of course even less anxious.
The crosses from both sides went back and forth, and in the end, Manchester United simply sent someone directly to Madrid.
And when Manchester United's people came to Madrid, the media in England took the lead in exposing the transfer negotiations between the two sides.
"Manchester United's chief scout, Ferguson's negotiator, his brother Martin Ferguson appeared in Madrid, according to reliable sources, Martin Ferguson's trip is to negotiate with Atletico Madrid about the transfer of Atletico Madrid's main goalkeeper De Gea this season, it is reported that Manchester United has offered more than 17 million pounds in order to get De Gea!"
This was stated in a report by Sky Sports.
And after the hype began on the English side, the Spanish media quickly followed suit.
For the Spanish media, whether it is Real Madrid or Barcelona, the hype is definitely good for them in all aspects!
During the winter break, Atletico Madrid's main goalkeeper left, and Atletico Madrid began to decline, while the other two took advantage of the situation.
How perfect such a drama is!
"Atletico Madrid look ready to sell their main goalkeeper David De Gea. Selling key players in the middle of the season should not be what a team aiming for a title should be doing, and Atletico Madrid may have sunk in the middle and bottom of the league for too long and have forgotten how to survive as a big club. As a big club, you should always have the confidence to keep the players you want to keep! ”
The Marca newspaper scoffed in the report.
This is also the case in other Spanish media outlets.
De Gea has not yet completed the transfer, but Atletico Madrid are ready to sell their main goalkeeper in the middle of the season, which is seen by the media and fans as a sign of Atletico Madrid's small fortune.
Too lacking in ambition!
There is a lot of talk in the media, and negotiations between Atletico Madrid and Manchester United are continuing.
On the flip side, Atletico Madrid's deal to bring in Keylor Navas was much smoother.
For just 300,000 euros, Atletico Madrid brought Keylor Navas from Costa Rica to Madrid.
The signing between Atletico Madrid and Keylor Navas went well.
However, the media did not show much interest in the signing.
It is widely believed in the media that Keylor Navas is also coming in place of Asenjo as the second goalkeeper - if De Gea leaves, Atletico Madrid will indeed need to strengthen the goalkeeper position.
Gao Bo was very happy with the signing and personally participated in the signing ceremony of Keylor Navas.
In a small conference room at Atletico Madrid's training base, Keylor Navas did not hesitate to sign his name on the four-year contract offered to him by Atletico Madrid.
From Costa Rica to Spain, joining a team as famous as Atletico Madrid, Navas is naturally very happy.
After Navas was signed, Gao Bo and Navas stood in front of the camera with an Atletico Madrid jersey.
Keylor Navas has not yet chosen his jersey number, so on this jersey, only his name is on it.
The two smiled at the camera, and the photographer pressed the shutter.
Gao Bo was relieved this time.
There is no problem with the goalkeeper position.
Keylor Navas was born in 1986 and has more experience than David De Gea, and although he doesn't have the talent of David De Gea, the experienced and very quick reflexes can undoubtedly be used as the main goalkeeper for Atletico Madrid.
The current Navas may be better than the young De Gea in terms of consistency.
Navas was a little shy.
But when he heard the call from La Liga, he didn't hesitate to travel from Costa Rica to Madrid.
This is an opportunity for Navas, an opportunity to make a name for himself!
