Atletico Madrid wants to get Thiago Silva, and the person they can't avoid is AC Milan's current coach Massimiliano Allegri. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Allegri was not a great player as a player, having played for a long time in lower leagues such as Livorno from his hometown before joining Pescara in 1991, where he became a well-known midfielder, scoring an impressive 12 goals in a single season.

Allegri also team-mates with Stefano Bogonovo at Pescara.

On 13 September 1992, Pescara scored a goal in a match against Milan that ended 5-4 and Van Basten scored a hat-trick in that match.

Allegri later moved to Cagliari, Perugia and Napoli. After a series of first-division and second-division spells, he returned to Pescara, where he became famous, before playing for PistoΓ­es and Agrianis, ending his career in the summer of 2003, when Milan lifted the Champions League trophy for the sixth time in Manchester.

Allegri began his coaching career in 2004, starting with the retired Agliannis, before moving to Grosseto after a promising career, and two years later joined Udinese as a member of the coaching staff.

Allegri took charge of Cagliari in 2008 and helped the team finish ninth in the league, but in April 2010, the then mid-table Cagliari club unexpectedly dismissed him as head coach, and in June of the same year, Allegri's coaching career took a big turn when AC Milan officially announced his arrival in the team to replace Brazilian coach Leonardo.

Judging from Allegri's coaching career, he is actually only a 'rookie' in the top coaching circle, and has not achieved any outstanding results, but AC Milan manager Galliani has put his trust in him, and Allegri has tried to overcome the crowd and gain more support with his actual results.

After Rafael Benitez's unsuccessful tenure at Inter Milan, AC Milan leapt to the top of the table, breaking the Nerazzurri's dominance of Serie A, and Allegri became the fourth coach after Sacchi, Capello and Zaccheroni to win the Serie A title in his first full season at the helm of Silvio Berlusconi.

With achievements comes trust and power.

When he first arrived at AC Milan, Allegri could only rely on the trust of manager Galliani to establish himself in the team, but now he can intervene in the transfer of the club, and Galliani will consult him on any transfer moves from the club.

So when he heard that Atletico Madrid wanted to buy Thiago Silva, Allegri strongly objected, "Thiago is the most important defender of the team, without him, the team's defense will have big problems!" He is irreplaceable! ”

Galliani frowned.

Galliani is not a football layman, but he is more of a businessman, even if the owner of the team, Silvio Berlusconi, is the richest man in Italy, but AC Milan is a club that wants to make money, unlike many teams in Europe, they have been losing money, so he needs to think about the team's profitability.

Is Thiago Silva indispensable?

In Galliani's opinion, this is not the case, a year ago, the Brazilian player could not play in the team, AC Milan's backline is not just as solid?

Thiago Silva is doing well now, but he is not indispensable either, and above all, Atletico Madrid's €33 million offer is tempting...... Maybe you should think about it?

'Masimi, I know the team has to strengthen as well, but we don't seem to be short of people at the back and more importantly in the midfield, if we can buy a quality midfielder, Silva can accept it to leave, right?'

Galiani asked tentatively.

Allegri thinks about it, a little loose, it is true that as Galliani said, the team is currently lacking the most is excellent midfielders, the year before last Kaka left, this year Pirlo is gone again, the team relies on only Seedorf in midfield, a single Seedorf is certainly not good, in terms of organizing the attack, he and Pirlo are too different, the team must bring in an excellent midfielder.

"Anyone?"

Galliani smiled, "Maybe Atletico can provide it for us." ”

"Atletico?" Allegri's eyes lit up.

The number of teams in Europe is one of the best in Atletico Madrid, and they can even be compared with Real Madrid, Real Madrid can find a lot of excellent midfielders, and even C-Ronaldo, Kaka and other world-class players, but Atletico Madrid also has a lot, they have former Ballon d'Or winners, veteran Morris, who performed quite well last season, and a new generation of young German leading star Ozil, Raul Garcia is also a good back, compared to these three stars, Even more sought after are two youngsters – Isco and Kok.

Any team knows that Isco and Koke are sure to be great midfielders in the future.

"If one of these two young people can come to San Siro, he will definitely become the future Kaka!"

Galliani affirmed.

Galliani has done a lot of work before, which is to study the midfield of Atletico Madrid, of course, Galliani will not be carried away by Atletico Madrid's 33 million euros, he mainly wants to find the next midfield core for AC Milan, in order to replace the absence of Kaka and Pirlo's departure, otherwise the team will start to consider coming back from Real Madrid on loan.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Moreover, the value of these two youngsters is not high, if a Thiago Silva can be exchanged for a future Kaka, plus 30 million euros, this deal will not be a loss......"

Allegri was also tempted.

If Galliani promises to buy Ozil or Raul Garcia, he will definitely not believe it, Ozil is too expensive, with AC Milan's transfer principle, he will definitely not spend a lot of money to buy such an expensive star, Raul Garcia is worth less, but Atletico Madrid will definitely refuse to sell at a low price, and Raul Garcia's skills are a little rough, and AC Milan cannot be used as a core.

Morris, needless to say, is too old.

Isco and Koke are both good options, and Allegri is a little excited to think that there will be a top star at the level of Kaka under him.

So he nodded in agreement.

AC Milan then replied to Atletico Madrid, asking for 'Koke or Isco + 30 million euros' in exchange for Thiago Silva.

The above two players, how to choose is not a problem.

Isco is worth at least more than 10 million euros, and the real transfer is even more than 15 million euros, and Koke is not so famous, and he is only worth about 6 million euros.

AC Milan is just a 'sloppy' reply, in fact, it is to test Atletico Madrid's attitude, and the real deal will definitely need to be discussed.

This stumped Wan Sheng.

The situation of Atletico Madrid and AC Milan is the opposite, the team has no shortage of midfielders, especially players in the middle of the midfield, what is lacking is excellent defenders, especially central defenders, like AC Milan replied, the two sides can really complement each other.

But...... Which young genius to leave, Wansheng is a little reluctant.

So Atletico Madrid continued to increase the price and raised the offer to 36 million euros, and AC Milan chose to refuse without any suspense.

What to do?

Thiago Silva, Brazil's captain two years later, is one of the best defenders in the world, and of course he has to work hard, but Isco and Koke are also talents, and they will both become pillars of midfield in the future.

Wansheng thought about it for a day, but he still couldn't give it up.

But in the end, we have to face reality, in fact, after J Ronaldo confirmed to join, the team's midfield was a little piled up, Morris, Raul Garcia, J Ronaldo, Mario Suarez, not counting Ozil There are already four people who can play this position, plus Isco and Koke, six players compete for two positions, the competition is too cruel.

Even if Isco and Koke both stay, Atletico Madrid will have to send one out on loan.

Rent?

Wan Sheng's eyes lit up, so he immediately replied to AC Milan, "Atletico Madrid can loan Isco or Koke to AC Milan, and you can specify a buyout clause in the contract." "There's very little to lose for the club because they were going to take one of them out on loan.

Galliani also thought about Atletico Madrid's reply, he hopes to get one of the talents and train him to be the core of the future AC Milan, but if he really buys young talents, he may not be able to grow up.

This is also one of his concerns.

Buying a young talent must be risky, Atletico Madrid's approach just eliminates the risk, if this young talent can really grow quickly, then they can use the buyout clause to directly make him a player of AC Milan, otherwise they can directly return it to Atletico Madrid, AC Milan is equivalent to only paying the loan fee.

That's not bad!

So the dispute between the two clubs was over the number of players on loan and the buy-out clause.

Atletico Madrid have a clear price tag: both players are on loan for one year, Isco has a buyout price of 28 million euros, and Koke has a buyout price of 18 million euros.

This buyout price is linked to the value of the two.

Isco is worth more than Koke and naturally has a higher buyout price, so Galliani is starting to worry again, and if you want to talk about two players, he is of course more optimistic about Isco, who made more appearances at Atletico Madrid last season...... But Isco is also a bit more expensive.

Cork is cheap.

Last season, Koke was solid but didn't make many appearances.

Galliani thought about it and finally decided that money was more important, so he decisively chose Koke, "Anyway, they are all young talents, give more outstanding times, and the performance will definitely get better." ”

The loan of the young player was negotiated, but the loan buyout and the transfer of Thiago Silva went together, so the two clubs began to formally negotiate the transfer of Thiago Silva. (To be continued.) )
