Chapter 470 Atlético De Madrid's Summer Transfer Window

Chapter 470: Atlético de Madrid's summer transfer window

The contract matter was settled quickly, and the day after Gao Bo returned to Madrid, he signed the contract.

No one will refuse to give themselves a raise.

Cerezo was very happy, and gave Gao Bo a salary of 9 million a year, and Atletico Madrid definitely earned it.

Last season, Gao Bo didn't spend much on the transfer budget. Cerezo also read the signing plan this season, mainly to prepare for the departure of some old players and players with high salaries but not needed on the bench. The cost of signings this season is much less than last season.

Such a head coach who does not spend much money, can still bring good results, and has an unparalleled eye for players, with an annual salary of 9 million, Atletico Madrid is definitely making a lot of money.

After finishing his contract, Gao Bo immediately threw himself into the pre-season preparations.

Before the start of this season, there were still quite a few players that Atletico Madrid wanted to leave.

Mainly focus on the back line.

The most influential is of course Antonio Lopez. The main left-back of the previous season, he lost his main position after Gao Bo became the head coach. He also lost his Spanish international province. Antonio has not been there for almost a year. Being called up by the national team is also related to his situation at Atletico Madrid.

Usually fewer games, so that the Spanish national team coach Bosque does not dare to trust his state.

Therefore, Antonio Lopez, who has lost his position, is ready to seek to leave the team.

Gao Bo is still very sorry for Lopez's departure. His strength is good and he can be regarded as an absolutely qualified substitute.

In the position of central defender, Ujfalusi has also made it clear that he is leaving the team, and Pereira seems to be looking for a next home.

These old officials who stayed in the previous dynasty have no main positions in Gao Bo's team. It is normal to seek to leave, and Gao Bo did not set up obstacles for their departure.

Antonio Lopez chose to wait until Gao Bo returned to the team to say goodbye.

"I want to thank you, boss!"

Antonio said.

"Winning the La Liga title is the most important moment of my career!"

"I want you to stay,

Antonio. "

Antonio Lopez shook his head, but he didn't say anything.

In fact, he could see that Gao Bo wanted him to stay, but he only continued to be the substitute for Alex Sandro.

Speaking of which, Antonio Lopez is the same age as Gao Bo, less than 30 years old.

The 30-year-old player is still at the peak of his career, but it will soon go downhill. Lopez doesn't want to enter retirement mode at the age of thirty.

In dealing with Antonio, Gao Bo showed his warm side.

Antonio has one year left on his contract, but Gao Bo is willing to make the Atletico Madrid youth player serve the team for almost ten years for free, and also relegated from A to B with Atletico Madrid, and then promoted to Such a painful process for Grade A.

Although Antonio's Atlético Madrid career was only after Gao Bo came, he won a Copa del Rey, a La Liga title, these two important championship trophies, and it has little to do with him.

But for Atlético Madrid, Antonio Lopez is a real meritorious captain, so Gao Bo let him find a next home for free, also so that the Atlético de Madrid captain can have a wider choice space, and the transfer fee is waived Under these circumstances, it will make him more popular in the transfer market, and at the same time, because he leaves the team for free, it will also allow him to get a high-paying contract.

In the end, Lopez chose to go to the Bundesliga, and he joined the Bundesliga powerhouse Leverkusen.

In addition to Antonio, other old players who need to leave the team, Atletico Madrid also sent them away at a low price or simply for free.

These old Atlético de Madrid officials, with the halo of La Liga and Copa del Rey, left the team.

Ujfalusi returned to the Czech league, Pereira joined Athletic Bilbao in La Liga, and right-back Barrera went to Ligue 1.

In addition to the defender, Atletico Madrid has more departures, and it is in the midfield.

Asunsang and Elias, who failed to get much chance last season, also chose to leave the team.

In this way, Atlético de Madrid will have to recruit in defenders and midfielders.

Since there was a plan before, Atletico Madrid's transfer work is still very fast.

The first to win was the central defender Miranda. Miranda played in Sao Paulo, Brazil. After the end of this season, Miranda's contract expired, so Atletico Madrid picked up a big bargain. In the way of free transfer, Atletico Madrid introduced Miranda, the Brazil international central defender who is enough to challenge Boateng's main position.

But even if Miranda joins, Atletico Madrid has only three central defenders.

Not to mention the three central defenders also have to take care of the Champions League, it is not safe to even fight in a single line like last season, so Gao Bo intends to introduce another central defender.

This time he was looking at veteran Lucio.

After this season, Lucio's contract at Inter Milan will expire.

According to the normal development, Lucio will sign with Inter Milan for two years this summer, and then in the next season, Inter Milan will sign; Lucio cancels the contract, and then the veteran returns to the Brazilian league and fades out Mainstream league vision.

However, Gao Bo believes that Lucio can at least play in the Europa League for two or three years. Now Lucio is 32 years old. With the help of cards, there is no problem in playing until he is 35 years old.

Moreover, he introduced Lucio only to strengthen the team's bench, not to use Lucio as the main force to death. Therefore, Lucio, a powerful and experienced central defender, has become a very good player. Good choice.

Moreover, signing Lucio this summer will also be a free transfer!

The speed of Inter Milan's slump and degeneration last time was amazing. After the end of the season, Inter Milan achieved nothing. In the league, they scored 76 points, six points behind AC Milan and ranked second. In the Champions League, they were humiliated in the quarter-finals. Sexually lost to Schalke 04, showing that they lost 1-2 on the road, and then returned to home, Inter Milan was humiliated by Schalke 04 5-2!

And the reason for all this, apart from the turmoil after Mourinho's departure, the biggest reason is the aging of the lineup. Now Inter Milan is dubbed the "nursing home", and most of their main players are 30 years old and up. player of.

Cesar was thirty-one, Lucio was thirty-two, Musael was thirty-two, Zanetti was thirty-seven, Cambiasso was thirty, Eto'o was thirty, and Matt was Lacy is thirty-seven...  

And the only young Balotelli, also defected to Manchester City after the end of the treble season.

Such a lineup is naturally weak and lacks competitiveness.

And more importantly, Moratti is not going to invest any more.

Inter fans laughed at themselves after a defeat in a certain game: Father Mo smokes Marlboro, I am pure and poor.

No investment, aging lineup!

This is a problem that everyone can see clearly, so Moratti put forward the slogan of "sell people first and then buy people" in this case.

Just who can Inter Milan sell?

Sneijder? Maicon?

Therefore, they can only clean up some veterans whose contracts have expired, leaving salary space in order to attract some of the stars of their playing years to join.

And Lucio is in this context, Inter Milan has been slow to give him a contract extension. In real history, Lucio will not start until the league is half a month away, and Inter Milan's contract is slow. be late.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid can take advantage of the danger during this period and take the opportunity to bring Lucio to Spain.

The same is true. Lucio, who did not wait for his contract until the end of the season, was disheartened. When Atletico Madrid handed him an olive branch, Lucio readily agreed and signed the contract that Atletico Madrid gave him.

Atletico Madrid's performance last season is obvious to all, and this season Atletico Madrid will appear in the Champions League. Lucio believes that his Champions League experience is an important factor for Gao Bo to see himself.

At Atlético Madrid, he doesn't have to worry about not getting the chance to play.

Get two central defenders, other positions need to spend some money to solve.

The midfielder left two players, Gao Bo intends to buy a player from the transfer market, and then transfer Saul to the first team, so as to make up for the gap between Asunsang and Elias leaving the team.

At present, the defensive midfielders in the team are only Kante and Mario Suarez, so Gao Bo intends to buy another midfielder with sufficient defensive ability.

He was looking at Gabi!

The later Simeone's confidant loved the general, the defense in the position of the midfielder is in place, and the physical confrontation ability is also strong.

This season is not just the domestic league. Atletico Madrid is fighting in the third line this season, so he must strengthen the lineup.

Gabi is a good candidate because he is an Atletico Madrid youth player himself. Before joining Zaragoza, he played for Atletico Madrid more than 50 times, and there is a buyback clause in his contract—— It only takes 3 million euros to bring such a powerful player back to Madrid, why not?

Gabi's transfer went well, and Atletico Madrid paid a fee of three million to bring the 28-year-old defensive midfielder back to Calderon.

In addition to the transfer of Gabi, the transfer of left-back Alba is also progressing.

Valencia was reluctant to let the Spanish defender go, but in the face of an offer of 8 million euros from Atletico Madrid, Valencia finally agreed to let Alba go.

On the right side of the text, Gao Bo is looking at Real Madrid B team, Castilla player Carvajal who played in the second division.

Convincing Carvajal was easy.

Carvajal, who has played in the B team for many years, is hard to see the hope of being promoted to Real Madrid. In fact, although Real Madrid's youth training camp is a youth training institution comparable to Barcelona's La Masia in Spain, due to Real Madrid's It is very difficult for their youth training players to get opportunities in the first team. Florentino proposed the policy of "Zidanega Pavin", and the facts have proved that this policy is very inconsistent with football development. The rule of law, forcibly promoting young players who do not meet the main requirements of the first team to play games with those superstars, did not play a role in promoting development, but stifled a talented player.

Therefore, in Castilla, many young people aged 18 and 19 are looking forward to playing for other La Liga teams. At least they can get the experience of playing in the first team and receive training in La Liga.

The same goes for Carvajal, so it was easy for Atletico Madrid to convince Carvajal to join.

The obstacle was on Real Madrid's side.

Real Madrid is reluctant to sell its youth players to Atlético Madrid, and the two sides are sworn enemies anyway.

At the beginning, Real Madrid wanted to loan Carvajal, but Atletico Madrid naturally refused. Even if they moved their goals elsewhere, it would be impossible to help Real Madrid develop players. They are not Real Madrid’s satellite team.

The second plan proposed by Real Madrid is that Atletico Madrid buy Carvajal for a transfer fee of 3 million euros, and then sign a buyback clause.

Atletico Madrid hesitated. Is Carvajal, a young player who has no La Liga experience, worth 3 million euros?

In the end, it is Gao Bo's decision to buy!

Three million to buy Carvajal, definitely worth it.

However, on the terms of the repurchase, the two sides still need to wrestle.

In the end, in the contract, the two teams in Madrid reached an agreement: if Atletico Madrid is going to sell Carvajal, Real Madrid must be notified, then Real Madrid can buy it back at the sale price of Atletico Madrid!

In this way, Carvajal joined Atletico Madrid smoothly.

Speaking of which, the exchanges between the youth training players of the two teams in Madrid are still very frequent.

Atlético de Madrid quickly completed their summer signings.

A total of five players were introduced, and a total of 14 million euros were spent in transfer fees.

Atletico Madrid's lineup is already very stable, these five players are more of a supplement to the bench lineup.

On June 20, although the transfer window had not yet opened, this did not prevent players from joining. These players just signed contracts with Atlético de Madrid, and then the contracts came into effect when the transfer window opened.

On the official website of Atlético de Madrid, Atlético de Madrid released a group photo of five players and Gao Bo.

"The head coach of the team has signed five new players, welcome to Atlético de Madrid!"

On the homepage of the official website, a line of large characters in Spanish stands out.
