Chapter 145: .145 Atletico God Operation

Monaco is windy and sunny, and the sunny beaches are overcrowded. The tourist season makes the city look extremely crowded every day. Situ Yunbing also wants to escape Monaco's irritability. Such a scene almost drives people out of intensive phobia.
Situ Yunbing inevitably began to plan where to go to escape the world during the holiday.
After returning to the club to deal with some follow-up issues attached to transfer signings, Situ Yunbing only needed to review the lineup before he could enter the holiday.
Merian first came to Situ Yunbing, and Situ Yunbing warmly received Merian in the office. Merian, who must be interviewed, was blocked from renewing his contract, so he came to Situ Yunbing.
Merian is not a player who likes to complain, he just confessed his inner needs in front of Situ Yunbing.
By October of this year, he will be 30 years old. He hopes to get a contract of at least four years before the age of 30, and his salary will increase by at least 50%.
Last summer, De Bondin cut down 40% of the team's salary budget. Not everyone has cut their salary by 40% to complete the operation. Absolute main players like Merian must only cut their salary slightly. Now they are asking for an increase of 50. % Renewal is about 25% increase from the level before last summer.
Not too much.
Such a player who has just won the Ligue 1 best player award, plus a veteran of Monaco, has both credit and hard work.
Situ Yunbing patiently listened to Merian's request, and then he also confessed to Merian that the team had spent a lot of money on signings in the summer and had to plan carefully in terms of renewal.
For example, the renewal of captains Modesto and Perez just increased their salary by 25%, based on the current contract.
But the difference is that they get a long contract.
Although Monaco is not as rigid as Arsenal, veterans over 30 are signed once a year, but the team is also very cautious in dealing with veterans in their 30s.
If it were not for the concern that Modesto and Perez were the captains, De Bondin would probably consider whether to give them a long appointment.
As for Merian, the salary cannot be met, and the contract period is too long, nor is it a risk that Debondan is willing to take.
But as an offensive player, the salary is higher than that of the defensive player, and it rises faster. This is a normal phenomenon.
Situ Yunbing wanted to keep Merian, but Merian told him very clearly that he had suffered enough in Monaco and won the championship. Now it is time to consider himself.
Compared with Gakpe’s confession when he left, Merian’s confession is roughly the same as when Lecco left. The difference is that Lecco failed to leave with honor, and Merian now only wants a big contract and a letting He sits back with a worry-free contract!
Unfortunately, Monaco cannot satisfy him now.
But Monaco's enlightened place is that Situ Yunbing will not make things difficult for players.
Try to retain Merian as much as possible. There is no shortage of teams in the transfer market that are willing to pay him a high salary. After all, the best player in Ligue 1 last season can be built around him by many Ligue 1 teams as the core. Team, there is no big problem with at least three years.
Merian is different from young players’ yearning for the Champions League stage. The league championship has already been obtained. What is the impact of the Champions League at the age of 30. It is really idiotic to say that it is a dream. It is not a turn to talk about confidence. Monaco has returned to this stage after a long absence from the Champions League. , No one knows how to speak surprisingly, just rushing to the championship!
I really don't even think about it.
After Merian left, Situ Yunbing called Debondan and told him that the team could let Merian go. As for Merian's replacement, Situ Yunbing didn't think about it. After all, the summer transfer budget, Monaco only had 3000. Ten thousand euros, even if it is added later, De Bondin will definitely not exceed 10 million euros. The three new aids cost the team 46.5 million euros, and the gap to be filled is not small.
Next, when Pino met Situ Yunbing, he directly took out an application for leaving the team.
Situ Yunbing was not surprised, and still received Pino warmly and thoughtfully.
When Pino heard the news of Suarez joining, he should know that he should go.
Situ Yunbing is still keeping him, starting from the interests of the club, the team needs him as a reliable substitute for emergencies.
But Situ Yunbing is also calm. As a friend, he also agreed with Pino to leave, because he is only 22 years old. At this time, he needs the main position and the most basic playing time guarantee. Otherwise, even if he can qualify for one or two seasons in Monaco The substitute, but two years later I am afraid that he will still be relentlessly abandoned.
Pino was very grateful to Situ Yunbing for his frankness. In the end, he did not change his mind and decided to leave the team.
Pino was very active in the first half of the season. In the second half of the season, after Falcao came to the team, he lost his main position, and in the limited playing time, he failed to show better than the first half of the season. Level, because the situation has changed, even if Monaco meets the same opponent, the intensity of the game has increased a lot.
The loss of his main force position is not the prejudice of Situ Yunbing, but the cruel reality: ability.
Meng Gonggu also came to Situ Yunbing the next day, his arrival surprised Situ Yunbing quite a bit.
Because after the end of the season, Situ Yunbing also heard Debondan said that he was negotiating with Monggongu for a contract extension.
Perhaps it was the joining of Vertonghen that gave Mongongu the idea of ​​leaving the team like Pino.
We must know that in the final stage of the second half of the season, Situ Yunbing used Nkulu to hit the defender more than Mongonggu. This is entirely a tactical consideration. From the characteristics, Monaco still needs a man like Mongonggu. The big central defender.
But Mongongu had a different idea.
After Modesto comes back, he will occupy a main position. Benatia’s position is already in the second half of the season, and he will even be squeezed by Nkulu. Then when Vertonghen joins the team, he will Is there a place?
The main position is definitely gone!
If Situ Yunbing wants to keep him, he also hopes to have one more reliable substitute. The team cannot only consider the main lineup, but also the thickness of the bench.
Unlike Pino, Situ Yunbing successfully persuaded the Mongonggu team to wait patiently for the opportunity.
On the one hand, Situ Yunbing clarified the reality. Modesto will be 31 years old in the summer, while Mongongku is only 20 years old. In two or three years, Modesto’s class will be picked up by Mongongkulai.
On the other hand, he has given a promise that he will give Mongungu enough playing time, which may not be an important game, but it will definitely not delay his growth.
Leaving Mongongu, selling Pino and Merian, Situ Yunbing wondered if the team could give him some transfer budget to reinforce the lineup this summer.
In addition, the team will also dispose of some marginal players, such as Gesso and Alonso, who have very little playing time and little contribution, and they do not see their potential for appreciation in the future.
By mid-June, the news that Monaco updated on the official website was basically that players left the team.
Merian moved 8.5 million euros to Toulouse, Pino moved 4 million euros to join Sochaux, Gesso, Alonso, Simic, Pokrivage and others have left the team, bringing a total of 7.2 million euros to the team.
On the selling side, Monaco earned nearly 20 million euros.
As a result, Monaco actually invested about 27 million euros in transfers.
Due to the smooth progress of negotiations with the sponsors, De Bondin generously added a transfer budget of 15 million euros for the team.
Therefore, the total transfer budget for the Ligue 1 champions in the new season reached 45 million euros, which was a surprise to Situ Yunbing. This is also thanks to his little spending during the winter window, and the club’s third-tier winning income has increased significantly compared with last year. , Coupled with the guarantee of income from the Champions League next season, and the increase in sponsorship income brought about by the rise of Monaco's reputation and other factors.
So Situ Yunbing had about 18 million euros to spend.
He looked at the team lineup, there are two areas that need to be strengthened.
One is the goalkeeper position and the other is the midfielder.
There are almost no top goalkeepers in European football that can flow into the transfer market, but there are not many excellent goalkeepers, and there are a lot of potential stocks.
Rufael is already a mid-level goalkeeper, but he still hopes to introduce a better goalkeeper, at least one with more room for improvement.
Such a goalkeeper can only find a younger one. After searching for a young goalkeeper in European football, Situ Yunbing formulated a signing plan.
The first goal, Atletico Madrid young goalkeeper De Gea.
Alternative goal, Nice goalkeeper Ospina.
The former is a guarantee of potential, and the latter is a guarantee of strength.
But the former is risky, while the latter's returns are not too high.
As for the signings in the midfield, he needs the new additions to have the attributes of a panacea, and the characteristics and position roles cannot be too single, so as to supplement the weakness of the team on the right side.
After working all night and looking at the scout report, Situ Yunbing selected the Belgian midfielder Witsel. This midfielder can play on the wing, balanced left and right feet, and can also play in the middle. The offensive and defensive strength is relatively comprehensive and the most critical He is young, and his worth is not high.
After handing over the list of transfer targets to Debondan, Situ Yunbing waited for news in Monaco.
These two signings can be carried out at the same time. After all, they are not popular players and have no competitors.
What surprised Situ Yunbing was that Atletico Madrid had a magical operation this summer.
De Gea, who was promoted by the youth team, hasn't done anything yet, but they spent 5 million euros to buy a young goalkeeper Asenjo!
So De Gea is really embarrassed in this way. I don’t know if Atletico Madrid considers the goalkeeper position more important than the sky, or it is true that De Gea did not give them enough confidence to make them make such a goalkeeper position. Abundant reserves.
But this is definitely a good opportunity for Monaco to introduce De Gea!
Atletico Madrid has no plans to sell De Gea, but they are a little shaken in the face of Monaco's 6 million euro transfer fee, because this is only the first offer, and it will definitely be discussed later!
