Chapter 11 The lineup is complete

Mesut Ozil's personal contract is not difficult to negotiate.

Mesut Ozil has not had a good time at Manchester City in the past two years, he has been battling with Silva for a place, and it has been difficult to get much starting time due to his desperate performances, and now he has to move away because he has no place in the team.

However, Mesut Ozil is looking forward to the transfer, because it is Atletico Madrid who will join him, and the manager is Wansheng, who has brought himself to England.

Mesut Ozil has been in excellent form for two years under Wan Sheng, and he believes that if he arrives at Atletico Madrid, he will be able to regain his former glory.

So Ozil doesn't have much demand for his salary, Atletico Madrid gave a four-year contract of 20 million euros, this contract is absolutely unthinkable compared to ordinary players, but it is nothing for the world's top stars.

After negotiations between the two sides, Mesut Ozil's father and agent Mustafa helped his son to get a salary of 22 million euros for 4 years, the main difference is that Mustafa asked for a signing fee of 2 million euros, in addition, he also wanted to indicate the terms of 'appearances' and other aspects on the contract, obviously Mustafa is afraid that his son will repeat the previous two years in Manchester City, competing for the main position with Silva and Morris, and has been performing well but not getting too many opportunities.

But Atletico Madrid simply did not agree.

Representing Atletico Madrid, it was Deng Kai who was also in charge of some transfer negotiations.

Other issues, such as the €2 million signing fee, are not a big deal at all, but Deng Kai is not qualified to indicate the number of appearances in the contract, and the only person in the club who has the right is Wan Sheng as the head coach.

Mustafa wasn't a good talker, and as a result, Deng Kai had to call Wansheng.

In the end, Wan Sheng still came forward.

He met Mesut Ozil and his father, Mustafa, in an office on the third floor of the club's building.

"Mesut!"

Wan Sheng walked into the office with a smile and called Ozil's name directly, Ozil was stunned for a moment, stood up almost reflexively, and shouted, "Boss!" ”

Immediately, both of them burst out laughing.

The solemn atmosphere of the office has also been much more relaxed.

Wan Sheng then shook hands with Mustafa and said, "You have raised a good son, and Mesut is one of the young people I value the most." ”

Mustafa looked at Wan Sheng in surprise, in fact, although he heard Wan Sheng's name from the media or his son's mouth, this was the first time he had met Wan Sheng, he shook his head and said in surprise, "You are still a young man." ”

"Thank you."

Wan Sheng thanked him and went straight to the point, "I heard you guys are arguing about the number of appearances of Mesut?" ”

When it came to his own problems, Ozil stopped talking.

Mustafa said, "Wan Sheng, first of all, thank you for nurturing little Ozil, my son can reach the current point, and you are inseparable." But, you know, what happened to Mesut Ozil Jr. in the first two seasons, he didn't have a place at Manchester City, he played well every time he played, and it was difficult to get many appearances, so I wanted to get those terms for him......

"No, no, no." Wan Sheng shook his head and looked at Ozil, "Mesut, you should know that in my team, no one is the absolute main force, and no one will definitely play in any game. I don't want any player to be different, and if you have these clauses in your contract, a lot of times I even have to use you...... But that affects my judgment, you know? ”

After Wan Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Mustafa again, "You should believe your son, Mesut is a very good talent, but the club spent 42 million euros to bring him from Manchester City to Madrid, which club in the world do you think is willing to put 4200 euros on the bench?" Manchester city? Perhaps, but we don't have David Silva right now. ”

'And it doesn't matter even if there's David Silva, when I was at Manchester City, Mesut, David and Lee would play together a lot of the time and I was able to balance their relationship, so you don't have to worry about Mesut's appearances at all.

"As for the terms." Wan Sheng said seriously, "I will not let the club sign this kind of clause with any player, my team will not have exceptions, not even Mesut." ”

Wan Sheng seriously refused to speak, which suddenly made Mustafa feel that he could not talk any further.

But Ozil stood up and said, "I believe the boss, so be it!" ”

"But?" Mustafa frowned.

"It's nothing, when I first went to Manchester City, I didn't have a reputation at all, and the boss could make me a regular player very quickly. Now that I'm famous, I believe in my abilities, what appearances are you worried about? And I don't want to go to other clubs, I just want to play under the boss! ”

Ozil's firm words made the atmosphere much better, and Mustafa let out a long breath, but finally stopped insisting.

After that, the two parties signed the contract directly.

The moment his name was signed, Ozil let out a long breath that he could finally end his life at Manchester City and start a new journey.

This time he has a lot of confidence, because it is his boss who is in charge of the team - Wan Sheng!

Wan Sheng also exhaled a long breath.

The club has signed Mesut Ozil, the main squad is complete, there is nothing to add to the next and he has nothing to worry about the squad anymore.

――――

Soon the official website of Atletico Madrid announced the most important transfer, "Manchester City star Mesut Ozil transferred to Atletico Madrid for a transfer fee of 42 million euros. ”

Some contract details were also announced below, which basically stated that Ozil signed a four-year contract with an annual salary of 5.5 million euros, and then said that the club was happy with Ozil's arrival.

One stone startles a thousand waves!

Ozil's transfer to Atletico Madrid is not a secret, many media have broken the news that Atletico Madrid is seeking to buy Mesut Ozil, but the value of 42 million euros is still very shocking, and Ozil has become the king of summer transfers.

If Mesut Ozil had transferred last summer, he would not have received so much attention, because last summer, the most worthy of coverage was always Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Real Madrid for a whopping 80 million pounds and an annual salary of 12 million euros, making Ronaldo the footballer with the highest single and cumulative transfer amount in one fell swoop.

In this summer, before and after the opening of the World Cup, there are not many large-scale transfers, and the only one that can be compared with the transfer of Ozil is only David Villa to join Barcelona, the top scorer who helped Spain win the World Cup, is worth only 40 million euros, followed by Manchester City's three acquisitions, Yaya Toure, Balotelli, Milner, Manchester City for these three players, respectively, 28.75 million, 28 million euros and 26 million euros.

Mesut Ozil's worth surpassing David Villa's and becoming the standard king in the summer is still widely discussed.

Many Spanish media, including those who support Atletico Madrid, believe that Ozil is not worth the price.

"If it had been two years ago, it would have been worth 40 million euros to buy the German talent, but he has been silent at Manchester City for two seasons and simply cannot compete with Silva for a place......

"Wan Sheng would rather pay a large sum of euros for the sake of his disciple......"

'It's an irrational transfer and it's a question of whether Mesut Ozil can play well and whether he can adapt to La Liga.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Amid the many doubts, Atletico Madrid remained unmoved, and on the third day, all agreements with Manchester City and Mesut Ozil himself were reached, and Atletico Madrid held a welcoming ceremony for Mesut Ozil.

On 14 July, Mesut Ozil officially debuted at the CalderΓ³n Stadium as an Atletico Madrid player, showing off his number 9 shirt.

The shirt belonged to Luis GarcΓ­a last season, who immediately joined Atletico Madrid to Barcelona.

When Mesut Ozil arrived, he took over the number 9 shirt.

Despite all the talk in the media, nearly 50,000 fans came to welcome the scene, and they all came to the scene with anticipation.

No matter what the media says, Mesut Ozil is also a superstar with a heavyweight value of 42 million euros, which broke the transfer history of Atletico Madrid, and many fans want to see what the 42 million euro gentleman really has.

At the CalderΓ³n Stadium, Mesut Ozil showed the fans his personal virtuosity, and his skillful skills and handsome face still captured the hearts of many fans.

After that, Madrid's media began to look forward to the new season for Mesut Ozil.

The heat of Ozil becoming the king has not passed, and many Madrid media are still reporting it, but the official of Atletico Madrid Club has continuously refreshed new news.

"Former Manchester City star and England mainstay Morris signed for Atletico Madrid and the club offered him a three-year contract......

"Bayern Munich goalscorer Klose signed to Atletico Madrid for a transfer worth 4 million euros......"

"The club used the buy-back clause to buy back Brazilian player Diego Costa......"

"Youngster Isco transferred from Valencia to Atletico Madrid for 3.5 million euros......"

"The 17-year-old Raphael Varane transferred from Lille AS-Hellemmes to Atletico Madrid for 800,000 euros ......"

"Chinese teenager Wang Qiuming signed with Atletico Madrid ......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

News after news has left the media and fans feeling overwhelmed.

Among the news, there is no doubt that the additions of Morris and Klose are the most heavyweight.

In the World Cup in South Africa, Klose scored 4 goals and won the World Cup Silver Boot Award, which also made more fans know the name of the German veteran Klose.

Although he couldn't play as a main player at Bayern Munich, his goalscoring efficiency was commendable.

The Madrid media believes that "the signing of Klose for 4 million is a very good deal, and the team has a good addition to the front, and the only concern is how long the German veteran can maintain his form......"

The addition of Morris is even more intriguing.

Even though England did not perform well in the World Cup in South Africa as a whole, there was not much media and fans criticizing Morris, who was the only consistent player in the England team.

Morris was also the winner of the 2008 Ballon d'Or.

The award is also a sign that in the eyes of the media and fans, Morris has surpassed Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard to become one of the top stars in the world.

The subsequent signings of Diego Coster, Isco, Raphael Varane and Wang Qiuming have not received much attention, with the newspaper "As" reporting that "Wan Sheng is thinking about the future of the team, he has always been good at developing players, but these players will not be able to play many games next season." ”

At the same time, even the media has found a problem - with the addition of the above players, Atletico Madrid's squad has piled up a bit.

At this time, Wansheng has launched a big clean-up operation, he put the players who don't need them, one by one, and many clubs are immediately interested in the players listed in Atletico Madrid, because there are several players who also performed well last season.

Atletico Madrid wants to clean up these players, and the transfer negotiations will naturally not be too demanding.

So one deal after another was made.

The 20-year-old Salvio, known as the 'Argentine genius', was sold to Benfica for 8 million euros.

Ibrahima Toure, who is almost past his prime, was given to Numancia for 2 million euros.

Jurado, who is in his playing year, is the most expensive player in the clean-up, and it is also what many clubs want, and finally after a series of negotiations, Schalke 04 of the Bundesliga got him for 13 million euros.

The 19-year-old young striker Pacheco still has some potential, and Atletico Madrid has loaned him to Independiente Argentina.

At the same time, the club also negotiated with several players such as Pablo and Camacho to terminate their contracts.

They can't keep up with their ability and they don't have much potential to speak of, so it's better to leave freely than waste a salary at the club.

After a series of purges, the media lamented that Atletico Madrid was wronged, but Wan Sheng believed that it would be difficult for the purged players to get a chance to play in the new season, so they would be almost useless to the team.

Rather than wasting a salary, it is better to let them leave early, which also brings a lot of money to the club.

This purge is certainly worth it.

After the cleaning work was over, Wan Sheng also took a long breath, looking at the list of existing players in his hand, he felt that this was his own team.

Look at the dates, the preparations for the new season are about to begin!
