Chapter 376: Poaching from Manchester United Fourth Update
Chapter 376 from Manchester United's poaching
Atletico Madrid's next match is on 14 January 2011, at home to Racing Santander.
This is the seventeenth round of the league!
With Atletico Madrid only five points behind, Atletico Madrid will probably need two more games to win the halfway title.
The winter break also brought relief to Barcelona and Real Madrid supporters.
After all, this season's Atletico Madrid has put too much pressure on them, and if Atletico Madrid continues to maintain the current league rhythm, I am afraid that the league championship may really be taken away by Atletico Madrid.
In fact, the winter break undoubtedly interrupted the state of Atletico Madrid, which has been in full form since the start of the season, and when the winter break returns, whether Atletico Madrid can return to the same form as before, it is really not certain.
......
But now he doesn't bother with the game, he and his team have eight days off after the Copa del Rey game - after all, the players still need to come back for training before the league starts.
After coming to Spain, Gao Bo was almost busy, let alone other places in Spain, and even Madrid he hadn't visited well.
So these days, in various districts of Madrid, in the Palais de Oriente, in Moncloa, in Plaza Mayor, Rue de la Princess, Rue de Guetya, Puerta del Sol.......
One can always see a bunch of young oriental couples.
After a walk around Madrid, they are ready to explore the rest of Spain.
But just when Gao Bo was a little happy, he received a call from Gilmarin!
......
"What ?!!!"
On the other end of the phone, Gao Bo's surprised voice came.
Jill Marin was sure that he was just as surprised, if not more so, when he received the news.
"Yes, high!" Jill Marin was a little helpless, he picked up a fax and said, "They sent an offer.... Moreover, the players also seem to be shaken. ”
Gao Bo on the other end of the phone scolded secretly, then turned around and said apologetically to Haruko, "I'm sorry, Haruko." I need to go back to the training base..."
Haruko felt a little lost in her heart, but she didn't show it.
"It's okay..."
The two hurried back to Madrid.
.....
In the office, Gao Bo meets Jill Marin.
From Jill Marin, Gao Bo took a fax.
"Fifteen million pounds?!" Gao Bo was a little surprised, "Manchester United is really rich. ”
Gil Marin spread his hands helplessly: "It's the middle of the season, they want to take people away in the winter window. ”
"Tell them, no way!!"
Gao Bo put the fax on the table.
"We're afraid we're really going to talk to them... De Gea has one and a half seasons left on his contract, which expires after the next season. The player's agent also approached me today......."
Gao Bo raised his forehead, no wonder De Gea has been dragging his feet and not renewing his contract during this time.
"Mendes is looking for you?!"
Jill Marin nodded.
"Fifteen million is a relatively high price, and... Judging from the current situation, it is the player who wants to leave, and Mendes may have just found out. ”
Gao Bo nodded, he knew that on this day, if it was the transfer promoted by Mendes, it was impossible for him not to know in advance.
He called Mendez first, only to get a response of ........ Manchester United, for their part, approached David De Gea first.
Supposedly, according to FIFA regulations, clubs are forbidden to have private contact with players.
But this rule is meant to be an ornament, because it is difficult for you to catch evidence of private contact, perhaps by accident?
The prohibition of private contact with players is simply not enforceable.
"Gao, I only found out about this yesterday, Ferguson privately approached David a few days ago, promising him to succeed Van der Sar as Manchester United's main goalkeeper next season. So now it's what it is...," Mendez explained on the other end of the phone.
Gao Bo nodded, he didn't blame Mendes.
Many player transfers may have been encouraged by agents, but De Gea is probably not.
Ferguson's place in European football is there, and as the helm of the Red Empire, it will be too difficult to find a young player in person and promise the position of the main goalkeeper of a super giant like Manchester United.
At the end of the day, it's a matter of the status of the team.
Manchester United is in full swing right now, but what about Atletico Madrid? They have been sinking for more than a decade.
"What are we going to do now?" Gilmarin asked.
If it was before, the decision to buy and sell was in his hands, but now Atletico Madrid's transfer rights are in the hands of Gao Bo.
Gao Bo thought for a while and said, "Refuse first!" De Gea is not for sale! ”
Then Gao Bo paced back and forth in the room and thought about it, Atletico Madrid may really have to prepare for both.
Although Asenjo is now also considered a talented goalkeeper cultivated by Atletico Madrid, Gao Bo knows that compared to De Gea, Asenjo is too far behind.
"Also... We also need to bring in a goalkeeper in the winter window, a goalkeeper who is strong enough. ”
Gao Bo raised his head and said.
Gil Marin was surprised: "We don't have much transfer budget right now, if we want to sell a good goalkeeper.....
'I know, so it doesn't cost much to this goalkeeper. And... His strength is enough! Gao Bo said.
Jill Marin also knows Gao Bo's vision, so he doesn't doubt the truth of Gao Bo's words either.
"Kyrol Navas?! Paplisa team? This is..... Costa Rica League ?!! ”
Jill Marlin looked up in surprise.
Costa Rica?
Gilmarin looked forward for a moment, not thinking where this place was.
You can't blame Gil Marin for her poor geography, except that Costa Rica, as a small and inconspicuous country in Central America, is hardly impressive in itself.
Where did Gao Bo know about this player?
Jill Marin was puzzled.
"Don't be confused, Jill." Gao Bo waved his hand, "He's definitely a goalkeeper we can use." ”
In fact, it may not be possible to say how strong Navas's ability is, after all, the height of this goalkeeper is here, and the height of 184 cm is very short among the goalkeepers.
However, this is not the Premier League, and in La Liga, it is not a big deal that the goalkeeper's air defense is weak.
As Real Madrid's main goalkeeper for several seasons in the future, Keylor Navas is absolutely adaptable to La Liga, and he has also won the best goalkeeper of the season in La Liga after Navas moved back to Levante.
And now the player will only need a few hundred thousand euros to be able to bring from Costa Rica to Madrid.
Jill Marin nodded.
"And what about De Gea?"
"I'll talk to him!"
Gao Bo said.
In fact, Gao Bo understands De Gea's psychology of wanting to run away, after all, people go to high places.
Although Gao Bo does not think that Atletico Madrid is a low place, Manchester United is a high place - but Gao Bo can't stand the other people's thoughts.
Judging from the past dozen seasons, Ferguson's Manchester United is one of the strongest teams in Europe, while Atletico Madrid has not appeared in the Champions League for more than ten years.
