No. [360] Round: Trouble with Transfers
After hitting a wall here at Suarez, Benitez had to find a replacement.
At this time, Benitez has his eye on Cavani, Italy's popular fried chicken, and he hopes to bring in Cavani.
However, Cavani's value is not low, and Napoli's asking for money is 70 million euros!
Although, Benitez is bullish on Cavani, but the price is too high. And Real Madrid has Dongfang Chen and Drogba, Cavani is also this type of player, and Cavani is not as strong as the two, so it is not appropriate to spend so much money to bring in Cavani.
So, Cavani Benitez also gave up.
Not long after Benitez gave up Cavani, news came from the transfer market that the French giants Paris Saint-Germain had brought in Cavani from Napoli for 64 million euros!
Cavani is really a popular fried chicken, and he instantly became the transfer target king so far.
Previously, this summer's European transfer bid was Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuain, who moved to Napoli for 40 million euros.
Napoli also brought in Higuain precisely because they knew they couldn't keep Cavani.
And this deal was negotiated between Napoli and Real Madrid before the end of the season, and even Higuain at that time became the head of Real Madrid's introduction of Cavani, but the two teams did not reach an agreement on this proposal, Napoli wanted Real Madrid to pay for Cavani alone, and they did not want to be involved with Higuain's deal.
At that time, Real Madrid asked for 40 million euros, and Napoli finally agreed to bring in Higuain for 40 million euros after a long time.
Because there was a lot of news at that time, saying that many clubs had taken a fancy to Higuain, including the two local tyrant clubs in Ligue 1, and the Manchester duo from the Premier League.
Napoli cut through the mess quickly and directly took Higuain for 40 million euros.
After taking Higuain, Napoli also heard that Real Madrid was purging players, and they approached Real Madrid in the hope of bringing in a few more players from Real Madrid.
Napoli really used Real Madrid as a supermarket, and they had their eye on Real Madrid's Albiol, Arbeloa, Coentrão, Callejon and Mesut Ozil.
Napoli are aware of the situation and they know that Albiol, Arbeloa, Coentrão and Callejón are not in Benitez's plans and they want to bring in these players. They also understand that there is a rift between Real Madrid's hierarchy and Mesut Ozil, and they also want to bring in Mesut Ozil.
However, Mesut Ozil himself said: "I will not leave Real Madrid, I am very happy at Real Madrid, I will not leave. Even if I had to leave, I wouldn't choose Naples! ”
After getting the advice of Ozil himself, Napoli gave up on the plan to bring in Mesut Ozil. Even if Ozil really agrees to move to Napoli, Napoli are actually reluctant to bring in Ozil because they know that Ozil is definitely not cheap.
Although Ozil is very good, for Napoli, it is too bad value for money.
As soon as they heard that Ozil and Real Madrid's high-level relationship was not on good terms, Napoli was greedy and did not think too much about it, but when they calmed down, he realized that it was impossible for them to bring in Mesut Ozil.
Bringing in Mesut Ozil didn't work, so they went on with a couple of other Real Madrid players, and they were thinking about Real Madrid's offer and hoping to bring in these players.
At this time, Benitez set his sights on Italy, and in an instant Benitez saw three people, they were Shaarawy of the Rossoneri, Balotelli and Jovetic of Fiorentina.
El Shaarawy, like Jovetic, can both play in midfield, on the wing and as a striker, and one of the two can solve the problem in both positions, which is very cost-effective.
El Shaarawy has been doing very well for the Rossoneri and has shown great potential, and Benitez is hoping to bring him in. There is also the Rossoneri's striker Balotelli, who has always been a talented player and is sought after by many people.
Benitez is very optimistic about the Italian striker, the Italian striker has a very good physical condition, and at the same time has a very good talent, many people think that he will be a superstar-level striker, Benitez looks at him very naturally.
However, Balotelli has some problems with his personality and is too perverse. However, Benitez is confident that he can handle Balotelli, so he wants to bring in the striker.
There is also Fiorentina striker Jovetic, Jovetic has been famous for a while, he has not been called "Montenegro Messi" by media reporters and fans, his foot skills are very good, his ability is good, and he has been linked with the giants very early.
Jovetic has been very good in Serie A in the last two seasons, and it is normal for Benitez to take a fancy to him, and Benitez is also hoping to bring in the striker.
Benitez first made an offer to Milan, hoping to bring in El Shaarawy, for whom they offered 30 million euros, but Milan rejected Real Madrid because El Shaarawy was not for sale.
Al-Shaarawy is not for sale, Real Madrid is not discounted. They then switched to Balotelli, and Milan was a little relieved in this regard, but Milan opened their mouths, and they asked for 60 million euros, and Benitez had to give up the idea of bringing in Balotelli.
Sixty million is indeed a bit too expensive for Balotelli, and Benitez can't accept it.
So, Benitez gave up Milan's twin stars Shaarawy and Balotelli. Although the Milan team did not do an authentic job in this regard, Real Madrid still sent Kaka back to Milan, and Kaka officially transferred to Milan and returned to Milan's arms.
After being frustrated here, Benitez is in a very bad mood, and he has not yet won the person he wants to take, and he is very depressed.
It was at this time that Real Madrid and Napoli reached an agreement that Real Madrid Albiol and Callejón would officially transfer to Napoli for 12 million euros and 10 million euros respectively.
Also, at this time, Las Diarra also left Real Madrid on a transfer, returned to Ligue 1, and joined Monaco.
Real Madrid has not brought in a single person, and now it has sent away five players, and Real Madrid fans are beginning to worry, what is Real Madrid going to do this summer?
Now Real Madrid's backline problem is very serious, and now it must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise, Real Madrid's new season will be very difficult.
Now, Benitez has to think about the backline, with Benitez hoping to bring in a right-back replacement, a substitute centre-back and a substitute left wing-back.
Sergio Ramos can play both centre-back and right wing-back in the Real Madrid squad now, so the centre-back position is okay because they also have young centre-back Raphael Varane in their squad, and this lad is also good.
Therefore, the problem of substitute central defenders can be put aside for a while, but the two side substitute defenders are very important and cannot be put down, especially the right wing-back.
Arbeloa, who can play on both wings and even in the middle, was a good card in Benitez's heart back then. But now that Arbeloa is old and still injured, it is said that at the beginning of this season, Arbeloa will not recover.
Therefore, at this time, Real Madrid is in urgent need of talents to bring in full-backs.
At this time, there are several names that have come into Real Madrid's sights, such as Swiss full-back Ricardo Rodriguez, Bayer Leverkusen's Carvajal, Portugal's Danilo and Alex Sandro, and of course, Arsenal's Chinese right back Zhang Ningpeng.
Swiss full-back Ricardo Rodriguez is a left-wing-back, Carvajal is a right-wing-back, Danilo is a right-wing-back and Alex Sandro is a left-back, and this is also the latest super new full-back in Europe.
Benitez admires Arsenal's Chinese full-back Zhang Ningpeng the most.
The young Chinese right-back has established himself as an integral part of the Arsenal squad and has also performed well in the Confederations Cup and is capable of playing at centre-back.
Chinese fans affectionately call Zhang Ningpeng "Chinese Ramos", in Benitez's view, Zhang Ningpeng is really a bit like Ramos, if Zhang Ningpeng can come to Real Madrid, he is really good to play Ramos's substitute.
Benitez also saw that Zhang Ningpeng's rise in the Arsenal team this season is very obvious, and there is still potential to be tapped, I wonder if Zhang Ningpeng will really be able to take Ramos's class in the future?
At this time, Benitez thought of Dongfang Chen, and he hoped that Dongfang Chen could help him in this regard, and it was best to help him contact Zhang Ningpeng, and then persuade Zhang Ningpeng to join Real Madrid.
However, Zhang Ningpeng joining Real Madrid is not without problems, there is a very serious problem, that is, the team's non-EU quota thing, Benitez has to think about this problem, if Zhang Ningpeng comes, he has to think about this problem.
However, even so, Benitez still hopes to bring in Zhang Ningpeng.
However, the question now is whether Zhang Ningpeng is willing to join Real Madrid? After all, he has just been to the Arsenal team for a season, and in this season he has just secured the main position of the Arsenal team, would he like to come to Real Madrid as a bench?
At this time, he had to understand clearly, and he was going to call Dongfang Chen to find out about the situation.
At this time, Benitez got the news, and the news came from the Fiorentina side that Jovetic was not for sale, and he was in the list for sale in Florence, as long as there was money, no one took away Montenegro Messi.
Rafa Benitez took a fancy to Jovetic and immediately made an offer of €13 million to Fiorentina, hoping to bring in the Montenegrin player.
However, Fiorentina directly rejected Real Madrid's offer, which is simply too low!
The Fiorentina side didn't see any sincerity, they were very angry. Benitez had to raise their offer, which reached fifteen million euros.
Fiorentina was very angry and said directly that it would never work if it was 40 million euros less.
Faced with this ridiculously high asking price, Benitez was also very angry and gave up Jovetic directly, he didn't think Jovetic was worth so much money.
