Chapter 470: Atletico Madrid's summer transfer window

Chapter 470 The summer transfer window of Atletico Madrid
The contract was settled quickly, and Gao Bo signed the contract the day after he returned to Madrid.
No one will refuse to give himself a raise.
Cerezo was very happy. Atletico Madrid definitely made a salary of 9 million yuan a year for Gao Bo.
Last season, Gao Bo didn't spend much of his transfer budget. Cerezo has also seen this season's signing plan. It mainly prepares some old players and the high-paying players on the bench who are not needed to leave the team. The signings this season cost much less than last season.
Such a low-cost, but also able to bring good results, look at the player's unparalleled vision of the head coach, 9 million annual salary, Atletico Madrid is definitely making a lot of money.
After finishing his contract, Gao Bo immediately started his pre-season preparations.
Before the start of this season, Atletico Madrid wanted to leave a lot of players.
Mainly concentrated on the back line.
The most influential is of course Antonio Lopez, the main left-back of the previous season, after Gao Bo became the head coach, he lost his main position, and he lost his Spanish international province because of this. Antonio has not had it for almost a year. Get the call of the national team, which is also related to his situation in Atletico Madrid.
There are usually few games, so the head coach of the Spanish national team, 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 still regrets Lopez's departure. His strength is good and he is an absolutely qualified substitute.
In the position of the central defender, Ujfalusi has also made it clear that he is leaving the team, and Pereira seems to be seeking a home.
These veterans who stayed in the past have no major position in Gao Bo's team. It is normal to seek to leave, and Gao Bo has not set up obstacles to their departure.
Antonio Lopez chose to wait until Gao Bo returned to the team to bid farewell.
"I want to thank you, boss!"
Antonio said.
"Winning the La Liga championship is the most important moment of my career!"
"I hope you can stay, Antonio."
Antonio Lopez shook his head, and he didn't say anything.
In fact, he could see that Gao Bo wanted him to stay, but he just continued to be Alex Sandro's substitute.
Speaking of it, Antonio Lopez is the same age as Gao Bo, and he is less than thirty.
The 30-year-old player is still at the peak of his career, but it will soon go downhill. Lopez does not want to enter the pension mode at the age of thirty.
In dealing with Antonio's issues, Gao Bo showed his warm side.
Antonio’s contract has one year left, but Gao Bo is willing to put this Atletico Madrid youth player for free for nearly ten years, and he also relegated with Atletico Madrid from A to B, and then upgraded to Such a painful process for Grade A.
Although Antonio's Atletico Madrid career only won a Copa del Rey and a La Liga title after Gao Bo came, these two important championship trophies have little to do with him.
But for Atletico Madrid, Antonio López is the real meritorious captain, so Gao Bo let him find his next home for free, also in order to allow the Atletico Madrid captain to have a broader choice space, and free of transfer fees. Under circumstances, it will make him more popular in the transfer market, and it will also allow him to get a high-paying contract because he leaves the team for free.
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 officials of Atletico Madrid left the team with the aura of La Liga and Copa del Rey champions.
Ujfalusi returned to the Czech League, Pereira joined Athletic Bilbao in La Liga, and right-back Barrera went to the Ligue 1 League.
In addition to the defenders, Atletico Madrid has more people leaving the team, but also in the midfield.
Asuncion and Elias, who didn't get any chance last season, also chose to leave the team.
In this way, Atletico Madrid will have to sign in for defenders and midfielders.
Since there was a plan before, the transfer of Atletico Madrid is still very fast.
The first to win was the central defender Miranda. Miranda played in Sao Paulo, Brazil. After this season, Miranda's contract expired, so Atletico Madrid picked up a big bargain. In a free transfer, Atletico Madrid introduced Miranda, the Brazilian international central defender who can challenge Boateng's main position.
But even with Miranda joining, Atletico Madrid has only three central defenders.
Not to mention the three central defenders have to take care of the Champions League, even the one-line combat like last season is not safe, so Gao Bo intends to introduce another central defender.
This time he was after veteran Lucio.
After the end of this season, Lucio's contract with Inter Milan expired.
According to normal development, Lucio will sign a contract with Inter Milan for two years this summer, and then in the next season, Inter Milan will be with; Lucio terminates the contract, after which the veteran returns to the Brazilian league and fades out The vision of the mainstream league.
However, Gao Bo believes that Lucio can still play in the European League for at least two or three years. Now Lucio is 32 years old. With the help of cards, it will be no problem to play until 35.
Moreover, he introduced Lucio only to strengthen the team's bench, not to use Lucio as the main force. Therefore, a strong and experienced central defender like Lucio has become a very good player. Good choice.
Moreover, signing Lucio this summer is also a free transfer!
Inter Milan’s squeeze into the fall was a bit surprising. After the end of the season, Inter Milan did nothing. They scored 76 points in the league, six points behind AC Milan and ranked second. In the Champions League, they were shamed in the quarter-finals. Sexually lost to Schalke 04, showing that they lost to their opponents one to two in the away game, and then returned to home. Inter Milan was humiliated by Schalke 04 five to two!
The reason for all this, except for the turmoil after Mourinho’s departure, the biggest reason is the aging of the lineup. Now Inter Milan is dubbed the "nursing home". Most of their main players are 30 and older. player of.
Cesar is thirty-one, Lucio is thirty-two, Moussaer is thirty-two, Zanetti is thirty-seven, Cambiasso is thirty, Eto'o is thirty, Matt Lacy is thirty-seven years old...
Balotelli, the only younger one, went to Manchester City after the Triple Crown season.
Such a lineup is naturally weak in succession and lack of competitiveness.
More importantly, Moratti does not plan to invest anymore.
Inter Milan fans laughed at themselves after losing in a certain game: Mr. Mo has used Marlboro, and I am really poor.
Don't invest money, the lineup is aging!
This is a problem that everyone sees clearly, so Moratti put forward the slogan of "sell people first, then buy people" in this case.
But who can Inter Milan sell?
Sneijder? Maicon?
Therefore, they can only clean up some of the veterans whose contracts have expired and leave room for salary in order to attract some players who are in their prime to join.
And Lucio is against this background, Inter Milan has been delayed in renewing his contract. In real history, Lucio will not start until the league is half a month away, and Inter Milan's contract is slow. Late.
Therefore, Atletico Madrid can take advantage of the danger during this time and take the opportunity to bring Lucio to Spain.
The fact is the same. Lucio, who has not waited until the end of the season to wait for his contract, is frustrated. After Atletico Madrid handed over the 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 experience in the Champions League is an important factor for Gao Bo to see himself.
At Atletico Madrid, he doesn't have to worry about not having a chance to play.
After getting the two central defenders, the other positions will need to be settled.
Two players left in midfield, 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 Asuncion and Elias.
The current defensive midfielders in the team are only Kanter and Mario Suarez, so Gao Bo intends to buy another midfielder with sufficient defensive ability.
He is after Gaby!
The later Simeone's confidant and darling, defended well in the position of the defensive midfielder, and had strong physical confrontation ability.
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 himself is an Atletico Madrid youth player. Before joining Zaragoza, he played for Atletico Madrid more than fifty times, and there is a buyback clause in his contract It only takes three million euros to bring such a capable player back to Madrid. Why not?
Gabi's transfer went smoothly. Atletico Madrid paid the price of three million transfer fees to bring the 28-year-old defensive midfielder back to Calderon.
In addition to Gabi's transfer, the transfer of left-back Alba is also advancing.
Valencia is not reluctant to let go of the Spanish defender, but facing the offer of 8 million euros from Atletico Madrid, Valencia finally agreed to let Alba.
In the post on the right, Gao Bo is interested in Real Madrid B team, Castilla player Carvajal who plays in the second division.
It was easy to convince Carvajal.
Carvajal, who has played for the B team for many years, is difficult to see the hope of being promoted to Real Madrid. In fact, although Real Madrid’s youth academy in Spain is comparable to Barcelona’s La Masia, but because of Real Madrid It’s difficult for their youth players to get a chance in the first team. Florentino proposed the "Zinedine Pavin" policy. It turns out that this policy is very incompatible with the development of football. According to the law, forcibly promoting young players who do not meet the main requirements of the first team to play with those superstars did not promote development, but stifled a talented player.
Therefore, in Castilla, many young people at the age of 18 or 9 are looking forward to playing for other La Liga teams, at least they can get the first team's playing experience and receive training in La Liga.
The same is true for Carvajal, so it is easy for Atletico Madrid to convince Carvajal to join.
The obstacle appeared on the side of Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is not reluctant to sell their youth players to Atletico Madrid, and both sides are also deadly enemies.
At the beginning, Real Madrid proposed to rent Carvajal. Atletico Madrid naturally rejected it. Even if they turn their goals elsewhere, it is impossible to help Real Madrid train players. They are not Real Madrid's satellite team.
The second plan proposed by Real Madrid is that Atletico Madrid buys Carvajal with a transfer fee of 3 million euros and then signs a buyback clause.
Atletico Madrid has hesitated. Is Carvajal, a young player with no experience in La Liga, worth three million euros?
Finally, Gao Bo decided to buy it!
Buying Carvajal for 3 million is definitely worth it.
However, both parties still need to wrangling on the terms of the repurchase.
In the end, in the contract, the two Madrid teams reached an agreement: if Atletico Madrid is going to sell Carvajal, Real Madrid must be notified, and then Real Madrid can buy back at the sale price of Atletico Madrid!
In this way, Carvajal has successfully joined Atletico Madrid~EbookFREE.me~ And speaking of it, the exchanges between the youth players of the two Madrid teams are still very frequent. The flag of Real Madrid, Raúl, was from Atletico Madrid’s youth academy switched to Real Madrid’s...
Atletico Madrid quickly completed the summer signings.
A total of five players were introduced and a total of 14 million euros in transfer fees were spent.
Atletico Madrid's lineup is already very stable. These five players are more of a supplement to the bench lineup.
On June 20th, although the transfer window has not yet opened, this does not prevent the players from joining. These players only first sign contracts with Atletico Madrid, and then when the transfer window opens, the contract will come into effect.
On the official website of Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid released a group photo of five players and Gao Bo in one breath.
"The team's head coach has signed five new players, welcome to Atletico Madrid!"
On the homepage of the official website, a line of Spanish characters is impressive.
