Chapter 10: One Genius, Two Rivals

Isco's father and agent, Comino, is in Valencia City and he is preparing to help his son reach an agreement with Valencia and Málaga.

Back three weeks ago, the Malaga club had already started chasing Isco.

Last month, the club was in turmoil when Abdullah-Al-Thani, a member of the Qatari royal family, bought a stake in Malaga and became the club's president, while he hired the previous president, Ans, as an adviser to the team.

Once in office, Abdullah Alsani brought Porto coach Jesuardo Ferreira to Andalusia.

Jesuado Ferreira has not made any major changes to Málaga, although there are a few positions to be added.

Isco is certainly noteworthy as a youth talent in Valencia, and crucially, Isco was born in a small village in Malaga, he can be said to be a native of Malaga, and if Isco can return to his native team, he will surely be able to get a lot of support from the fans.

This is good for securing one's position.

So Malaga started to get in touch with Valencia FC.

Valencia certainly don't want to sell Isco outright, they certainly know Isco has potential, or or, with his performance at the World Junior Championships last year, everyone in Spain can tell that Isco is a young talent with a lot of potential.

However, Valencia's first team does not have a place for Isco.

In La Liga, Valencia is the second team behind Barcelona and Real Madrid, they are one of the giants of La Liga and are often active in the Champions League.

Valencia's squad is quite gorgeous, so even the substitute squad can't put a young man who has just turned 18 into the lineup, they need the kind of player who can play straight away, and they don't need instability.

Isco is talented, but the Valencia Academy is a mecca of talent, and there are so many talented young players that Isco is really just one of them.

However, for a club, as long as there are young players with potential, they can't let go, so Valencia don't want to sell Isco, but they also want Isco to enter the top league, and Málaga, as a relegation team, is a good choice.

Málaga are not going to develop talent for other teams, and the outcome of their talks with Valencia was to add a buy-out clause at the end of the loan contract – with Málaga having the option to buy out Isco for €6 million.

Valencia agreed.

6 million euros is already equivalent to the value of a good top-flight player, and unless Isco is too good, it will be difficult to reach 6 million euros.

On this day, as Isco's father and agent, Comino was ready to help his son reach an agreement with Valencia and Malaga.

Comino is still very happy, because his son can only stay in the reserve team in Valencia, and if he goes to Malaga, it is possible to play in the official professional league, and it is La Liga, not to mention, Malaga is a hometown team, and it feels better to play in the team back to his hometown.

After moving to Malaga to become a full-fledged professional, Comino believes Isco will be able to improve quickly and gradually become famous.

At this moment, Comino's cell phone rang, and he picked it up, only to hear a young voice speaking standard Spanish from the other side, "Hello, Mr. Suarez, I'm Atletico Madrid manager Wan Sheng, can I talk to you about your son Isco?" ”

Comino was stunned for a long time before he reacted, "Okay, okay?" But I'm in Valencia. ”

"What a coincidence! I also happened to be in Valencia. ”

――――

Comino put down the phone and was stunned for a long time before he realized that the other party was the head coach of Atletico Madrid, the famous young Chinese.

Comino had certainly heard of Wan Sheng, and in recent times, the Spanish media have been covering him almost every day.

What is the biggest contributor to Manchester City's 'Grand Slam'...... What looks at the player's vision is very accurate...... And so on, all kinds of praise, and of course criticism, such as his complex personality.

But anyway, this is definitely a big shot!

In comparison, the Malaga club is nothing at all.

Comino immediately called Valencia FC and told them that he had something urgent to attend to and that he had postponed the signing of his contract until the afternoon.

After that, Comino went to the agreed café.

Walking into the café, Comino saw Wan Sheng, but he didn't see any big people's pomp, there were three people in the seats, and two people next to him who were also wearing casual clothes, looking very difficult to provoke, and the person in the middle who was smiling gently, also wearing a pair of sunglasses, dressed up and couldn't tell who it was.

When the other party took off his sunglasses, Comino recognized that it was the young Chinese coach who had been in the media reports recently.

"Hello, Mr. Comino!" Wan Sheng took off his sunglasses and took the initiative to reach out his hand.

"Hello ......"

Comino said and looked left and right, and the two people next to him looked really a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, ignore them, my bodyguard. The media was a bit annoying, and I made them dress casually......"

Wan Sheng said and waved his hand and asked them to go to other seats.

Comino relaxed and whispered, "It's a little scary. ”

Wan Sheng smiled.

The two bodyguards are both retired soldiers of the special forces, and one of them has a scar on his face, and his fierce and serious demeanor is indeed a little scary, but with his current fame and wealth, he will not feel safe if he travels alone.

This may also be the trouble of being too famous.

"I noticed Isco, he's a great young man and I want to bring him to the Calderón Stadium to play La Liga for the first team of Atletico Madrid. I think he will be an integral part of my team in the future, just like ...... Like David Silva when I was in charge of Manchester City. ”

Listening to the last sentence, Comino's eyes lit up.

In fact, some media have said that Isco is 'the next David Silva', but the media touted it is touting, normal people are sensible, although Comino believes in his son's ability, but David Silva is already an international superstar, at least until now the two are completely incomparable.

The future is uncertain, but the young Chinese in front of you are the ones who raised David Silva.

Even the Spanish media admit that David Silva's rapid rise to fame is inseparable from the cultivation of Wansheng, and David Silva was not valued by Valencia when he joined Manchester City.

A young man who was not valued by Valencia became one of the top stars in international football in only two years under Manchester City, which must be inseparable from the cultivation of Wansheng.

Comino's heart was immediately moved.

He wants Isco to be famous, but Malaga really can't really play, an 18-year-old, it's impossible to say where he can go, otherwise Valencia FC would not have agreed to Malaga's €6 million buyout clause.

If he can go to Atletico Madrid and play under the cultivation of David Silva, then Isco is likely to rise to fame quickly.

Here's the shortcut!

Immediately Comino left Malaga behind!

What a hometown team!

What a chance to play in the top league!

It doesn't matter.

As long as he can go to Atletico Madrid, Isco will get the best environment to grow up, and listening to the meaning of this young man's words, it is obvious that he attaches great importance to Isco, otherwise he would not have made a trip to Valencia in person.

Even Malaga coach Jesuado didn't do this, and it's clear who values Isco more.

There is attention, ability, and a good environment, a normal person knows how to choose, not to mention, Comino has no feelings for the so-called hometown team Malaga, otherwise he would not let the young Isco come to the Valencia academy.

"I hope Atletico Madrid doesn't just pay lip service to ......," Comino said with a smile at the end.

The two ended their meeting.

――――

Valencia and Malaga, both clubs are ready to sign, but only one protagonist is missing, Isco's agent Comino.

In the afternoon, Comino did not go to Valencia at all, but informed the club, "We need to reconsider Isco's whereabouts." ”

This sentence let Valencia know that there must be other clubs involved.

The Malaga club also quickly found out, they were very annoyed, and in the morning, they had already announced on the official website that Isco would join the team on loan, but the loan did not materialize!?

Which club did it do!?

The Malaga club had no choice but to continue the talks, promising to increase Isco's salary alone, but Comino ignored it.

Valencia FC soon got the news as Atletico Madrid sent a transfer request to Valencia, where they asked to buy Valencia's young talent Isco with a transfer offer of €3 million.

This is half the price of the buyout contract in Malaga.

Valencia rejected Atletico Madrid outright, and if Malaga had done so, maybe they would have considered selling Isco outright, but Atletico Madrid?

The head coach of Atletico Madrid, but the young Chinese who is good at developing players, most of the players he likes can quickly become famous.

Maybe Isco is one of them?

Valencia FC are feeling the eye is shining and their interest in Isco has increased considerably.

But Isco's performance was there, and he was just a talented 18-year-old, and someone in the club suggested, "Why don't Isco come to the first team and try a few appearances?" ”

Of course, there are also opposing voices.

These people believe that Isco is just one of Valencia's academy talents and that it is not worth paying that big price.

Even if the young Chinese is optimistic? The other party has also cultivated a lot of talents in his own team, Isco under him, he may be able to become famous, but staying in Valencia is not necessarily.

Then Valencia wanted to send Isco on loan to Atletico Madrid.

On loan alone, Wan Sheng definitely disagreed, and he would not develop talents for other teams, so the negotiations between the two sides were deadlocked.

At this time, the player's opinion became the key, because Isco signed a five-year contract with Valencia at the age of 14 and has been receiving a pitiful salary from the youth team until now, and that contract is not very binding, and even if the player leaves directly, there is not much liquidated damages.

In the end, Valencia FC could only ask Comino, and as expected, Comino said directly, "My Isco wants to go to Atletico Madrid!" ”

Now that the player has asked to leave, Valencia has nothing to do.

In the end, the two clubs negotiated, Valencia gritted their teeth and agreed to a transfer of 3.5 million euros, and at the same time, they also sued Atletico Madrid to the Spanish Football Federation, believing that they had contacted the player privately.

But Valencia has no evidence, and even if there is evidence, Isco is only an 18-year-old young player, and the impact is not big at all, Spain, including UEFA's regulations in this regard, are not perfect, there is no way to make any restrictions on private contact with players, at most it is a fine money, Valencia Club should suffer or suffer.

Throughout Isco's transfer process, the Malaga club, which had become interested in him, became a complete outsider.

They simply hate Atletico Madrid!

――――

For the arrival of a young talent, offended two La Liga clubs, but Wan Sheng didn't care at all.

The world of football is full of competition.

In La Liga, every team is in competition with other teams, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, and it is gnashing of teeth to negotiate the name of any team because they poached a lot of talent from other clubs.

But so what?

Real Madrid is still Real Madrid, Barcelona is still Barcelona, they still dominate La Liga, and the match between them is still called the 'Spanish Super League' by the media and fans.

So it doesn't matter if you offend your rivals, and it doesn't matter if other clubs have a good impression of Atletico Madrid.

Only the strength of the team is the most important.

For the sake of a future star like Isco, offending Valencia and Malaga is definitely worth it.

After Isco's transfer work ended, Wansheng was happy to harvest talent and got good news at the same time.

The club have agreed with Manchester City on the transfer of Mesut Ozil, who himself has already arrived in Madrid.

All that remains now is to negotiate a personal contract with Mesut Ozil.
