After recovering a sum of transfer funds from Caron, Van der Meyde and Killie, the transfer fee that Dick could use reached 25 million euros, which made him more confident. Now this At that time, such a sum of money could still poach a lot of people in South America
Dick¡¯s first stop was to the river bed.
When River Plate chairman Aguero saw Dick, he seemed to have seen a ghost
He still remembered how Dick poached Kavernagi from the riverbed at a low price of five million euros, and then sold Kavernagi for 40 million the next year It's just that Kavernagi His performance at Chelsea last season was not good. There are rumors that Chelsea want to purge him this season. Of course, with his current salary level, it will not be easy to find a team to take over
"Mr. Aguero, don't worry, I came with enough transfer funds this time Anyway, I will definitely not let you suffer." Dick chuckled.
Aguero composed himself, and then said angrily: "Mr. Dick, to be honest, I don't want to do business with you anymore!"
"How can we be anxious about business?" Dick laughed loudly: "Well, Mr. Aguero, I have prepared a banquet, let's talk slowly"
Next, Aguero knew Dick¡¯s purpose.
This time Dick wants to buy from River Plate, the young midfielder Javier Mascherano, who has just turned 20 years old.
This defensive midfielder also became famous as a teenager. After the 2002 World Cup, he had the experience of being selected for the national team. In the just-concluded Copa America, he has become the main force of the Argentine national team
"Let me tell you the truth."
Sipping the wine in the glass and watching the beauties dancing on the stage, Aguero and Dick began to get acquainted: "Mr. Dick, it's not that Javier cannot be sold River Plate has no players that cannot be sold, but Havier Weir and Cavinaji are different. At that time, Cavinagy had not entered the national team. Now Javier is the main midfielder of the national team. If the price is lower, we will definitely not let go. "
"The price won't be too low." Dick smiled: "Now Javier's ownership belongs to River Plate, right? And to be honest, it is not easy for Argentina's current defensive midfielder to go to Europe. Even if I buy it now If he were to leave, he wouldn't be able to play the main role without one or two years of training. If I didn't have a long contract at Inter Milan, I wouldn't want to bring him in, but the price for defensive players would naturally not be too high. I also feel that I owe River Plate a lot for the transfer of Cavinagi So, what do you think, eight million euros?"
Dick knows that Mascherano's ownership will become very complicated next. Like Tevez, part of his ownership will be owned by a company, and it is under the operation of this company that , he just transferred to Brazil's Corinthians for 12 million euros. There were also big problems with that transfer, and it was most likely a part of money laundering.
And now, the price of eight million euros that he offered is already very sincere.
Aguero was stunned when he heard this price. This price is indeed very good. It seems that Dick did not lie. At least when he is backed by a big financial backer like Inter Milan, Dick will not appear too stingy. ¡ª¡ªYou must know that when he was at Atletico Madrid, he was known to spend money like a native
"It's stilla little less. Of course Javier's worth may be less than eight million euros, but for things like transfers, such a price is not enough to make us excited." Aguero shook his head after thinking about it. .
"Nine million euros." Dick took a sip of wine and said lightly.
"II still want to think about it" Aguero replied in great pain.
"Ten million! This is the final price!" Dick frowned: "If you don't agree to this price, I will turn around and leave."
"Deal!" Aguero didn't hesitate at this time, he immediately agreed, and then held Dick's hand: "Shall we sign the contract tomorrow?"
"Okay, you can come as convenient as you want." Dick breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a smile: "Argentinian beer tastes good too!"
"Yes, our wine in Argentina is good and our players are better!" Aguero said with a smile.
"Then you pay the bill today." Dick stood up and quickly left the scene - this old guy just gave me ten million. Although he didn't care, he had to make this guy bleed
Looking at Dick running away, Aguero couldn't help laughing. This was really a surprise.A nice guy to deal with
As for Mascherano himself, he has no objection to joining a team like Inter Milan. Although Inter Milan does not yet have a barbecue gang, there are also many Argentine players. Some Argentine players left this year, but at least there is still a captain. Zanetti is Argentinian, isn't he?
The introduction of Mascherano went so smoothly, and Dick's reputation and the status that Inter Milan gained through spending money in the past few years played a big role - Inter Milan was called a black hole in the past few years, but because of Mo Ratty's continuous spending of money has also made many players hope that they can be the one to fill the black hole. At least if they succeed, it will be a very fulfilling thing. Now that Dick is in charge, Dick has built a few years ago. Fame means being able to win championships and train young players. For young players like Mascherano, whether it is their own growth, increased income or increased possibility of winning championships, it is a bargaining chip that can attract them - ¡ªOf course, the price of 10 million euros is not low by any means.
Although Dick bought two forwards as soon as he took over Inter Milan, he still needs to undergo major surgery on the midfield. Except for Stankovic who came in the winter, he has basically confirmed the introduction of Perrotta and Mas. Cerrano, these two are both players who can play the main role and complement the midfielder enough. Next, he is preparing for the future.
Old goalkeeper Fontana seems to no longer want to be a substitute. Chievo is looking for a main-level goalkeeper this season, because their main goalkeeper Marchegiani last season chose to retire after the end of this season. Even if he does not retire, Marche Giani is also thirty-eight years old, and it is not suitable for him to be the main force anymore. Inter Milan did not make things more difficult for Fontana, but chose to let him go. In this case, in the goalkeeper position, Inter Milan Milan naturally has to choose someone.
What Dick is interested in this time is naturally Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar. In fact, he originally wanted to buy Cech. However, at this time, Chelsea had contacted Cech and wanted to compete with Chelsea. He was not afraid of other places. There will be a problem with funds. Although Cech went to Chelsea for only 7 million euros in history, if Inter Milan wanted to grab someone, it would not be 7 million euros - at this time, okay There are still many choices for top goalkeepers, and there is no need to hang them from a tree. Inter Milan's tradition is that there is never a shortage of top goalkeepers. This tradition has reduced Dick's choice of many obstacles.
Julio Cesar, his contract with Flamengo expires this year, Inter Milan can sign him for free.
Historically, after Cesar moved to Inter Milan this summer, because Serie A could only introduce one non-EU player from overseas a year, he was loaned to Chievo. However, he was unable to play in the game at Chievo due to some problems. For example, the shortcomings in catching high-altitude balls and saving free kicks gradually disappeared after two years. Now, Inter Milan has not introduced Veron as it did in history. The non-EU quota Dick has not been used up yet. Then using it on Cesar is also a good choice.
Even in Inter Milan, he has not been able to play a game for a season, but the training level of the Inter Milan goalkeeper is still very high. If he trains well and solves some of his technical shortcomings, maybe Dick can see a better one. Cesar!
Another good player is naturally the future world's number one right back Maicon - he is not without fame now. In 2001, he and Adriano participated in the World Youth Championship that year and the 2003 Gold Cup. Maicon is also the main player of the Brazilian national team. Although the national team is a youth team under the age of 23, Brazil has also produced several players who are considered to be Cafu's successors in recent years, such as Manchi Jr. who plays in Rome. Ni, such as Cicinho who later went to Real Madrid, Maicon is just one of them.
He currently plays for Cruzeiro in Brazil. Historically, he was worth three million when he went to Monaco this summer. Inter Milan only paid the same price of three million and signed the player before Monaco took action. ¡
Mascherano, Cesar, and Maicon, this is the result of Dick's South American gold rush. However, these three people now do not have EU passports. According to the current rules of Serie A, it can only introduce one non-EU player per season. It would be really troublesome for Inter Milan to win these three people
But Dick would not be unprepared.
Dick intends to give this non-EU quota to Cesar. He is not a necessary player now, but he will be very useful in the future.
As for Mascherano, his predecessor is an immigrant from Italy. As long as he operates properly, he will have no problem getting an Italian passport - a passport and nationality are different. Having an Italian passport gives you the right to settle in Italy. , enjoy all Italian social welfare, but not Italiancitizen.
As long as the documents are complete, it is easy to handle this kind of thing. After confirming the signing of Mascherano, Dick has already called Inter Milan and asked them to do it as soon as possible, at least during the transfer window. Be sure to get this done before closing.
As for Maicon, he can only choose to rent it out. Dick has not yet decided whether to loan to an Italian team or to go abroad. From the perspective of adapting to the league environment, it is naturally better to loan to an Italian team. However, some teams in Italy are also quite cheating, and they don¡¯t want to make good use of their loaned players. This problem does not occur in other leagues
However, this problem was quickly solved by Monaco - their results last season were quite good, but their main right back last season, Argentine Ibarra, was on loan from Porto, and now Porto wants to take back this player , they also needed a right back. Originally, they also took a fancy to Maicon, but Dick's hands were very fast and he signed Maicon before the transfer market started. In desperation, they only Can choose to request a loan from Inter Milan
? Two years on loan, the loan fee is one million euros, and Inter Milan is not allowed to directly recycle him midway.
After thinking about it, Dick agreed to this request. Maicond can play in Monaco, and now, there is really no need for Maicond
