Chapter 156 Simeone's First Choice

Chapter 3 Simeone's first choice

"15 pounds?"

Li Qingshan stared in astonishment at the Italian fat man sitting opposite him, this manager who had never met a few times in total.After he got off the plane at Manchester Airport, Raiola came to meet him at the airport.

When he heard Raiola's salary requirements for Manchester United, Li Qingshan underestimated.Is this fat man reliable or not?Although Li Qingshan is very confident in himself, he also knows that it is absolutely impossible for Manchester United to give him a higher salary than the main players of the team.

"Yes, such a contract requirement is indeed outrageous. Of course I know that Manchester United cannot give you such a contract." Raiola said.

"Then you still..." Li Qingshan doubted.

"I just want to see how much Moyes values ​​you." Raiola smiled slyly.

Li Qingshan realized that this is really the behavior style of this cunning fat man.

"I reported an exaggerated contract request. If Moyes can talk to me seriously, even if he tries to return the price, it also shows that you have a place in his team."

"But when I said the price, Moyes didn't even return the price, which shows that in his team, you may not have many opportunities to play. He just sees you as a young man. The team should look at the potential players in the first team."

Li Qingshan was silent.From his heart, of course he is willing to stay at Manchester United.After all, it was Manchester United who signed him and gave him the opportunity to become a professional player.

And Manchester United itself is a super platform, one of the super giants that professional players are most yearning for.Being able to play in such a team is itself an affirmation of the ability of professional players.

However, things are unpredictable. If Sir Alex Ferguson has not retired, maybe he will still be able to get the chance to play in the Premier League this season.However, now the new head coach Moyes does not seem to take himself too seriously.

"So, if I stay at Manchester United, it will be difficult to get many opportunities."

"Moyes may not have considered your position at all. You may be just a young player who was excluded from the 18-man squad when you arrived at Manchester United's first team." Mino Raiola said with a grin.

"However, you don't have to worry about your whereabouts. Several big teams are already contacting me, planning to directly take you away from Manchester United with a liquidated damages of 800 million." Raiola said happily.

"Oh, what teams are there?" Li Qingshan is of course cautious about his future.

Raiola opened his mouth and said, "Currently the teams interested in you are mainly concentrated in Germany, because you beat Bayern Munich." Speaking of this, Raiola smiled and continued: "The more important ball Teams include Leverkusen, Wolfsburg, Dortmund. 800 million is just a small amount of money for them."

Li Qingshan thought about it, going to the Bundesliga is also a good choice.The Bundesliga has grown very rapidly over the years.Last season's Champions League final was the German Derby.Two Bundesliga teams eventually made it to the final.

Amid all the turmoil, Manchester United finally received the first offer from the team.

Atletico Madrid directly paid 800 million euros in liquidated damages, which means that Manchester United does not even have a chance to bargain. As long as the player is willing, he can leave immediately.

Since Li Qingshan still has a contract, Atletico Madrid cannot directly contact the player. Before contacting the player, the club official must contact the player's club in writing.

"We have already started contact with Manchester United." An Atletico Madrid official is reporting to his boss.

In the office at the moment, Atletico Madrid's president Cerezo and the team's coach Simeone are both present at the same time.

On the other side of the screen, Li Qingshan's game video was played.

"Diego, you seem to be very optimistic about this young man." The team president Cerezo asked.As the chairman of Atletico Madrid, Mr. Cerezo is actually not too involved in the affairs of the club.His main job is as a film director.

Simeone pointed to his computer screen and said, "I have watched the video of this player several times in the past two days."

"I like him very much." This is Simeone's style, straightforward and not around the corner.

"He's physically strong, has a great header and a long shot! And he's young enough. Most importantly, I admire his fighting spirit on the pitch."

"Villa is a good player, but where is his age, we must plan ahead and find a replacement for him. And Costa..." Simeone pondered for a while, "He may not be in my ball. The team stayed too long."

"That is to say, we now need to supplement strikers." Cerezo said, "And this Chinese guy is your first choice."

Simeone nodded: "That's right, especially if you only need 800 million euros to take away a striker who has scored more than 50 goals in a season, such a deal is very cost-effective."

"It's just that we have a lot of competitors, and this player may not necessarily choose us." An official standing on the side reminded.

Simeone glanced at him, "Don't worry, I'll bring him back myself."

Cerezo looked at Simeone in surprise. The iron-blooded coach of Atletico Madrid rarely intervenes in transfer affairs to this extent.At least before that, Simeone had never personally approached any player.The most he can do is hand over the list of players he needs to the team's manager Marin.

It seems that he is really eager for that Chinese player.

This is the first time Simeone has intervened in the team's specific transfer operations.Because this time the situation is quite special, the price of 800 million is not high, and many teams can easily pay this money.This also means that in this transfer, the willingness of the players is the most critical.

Simeone is worried that if he doesn't make a move, the ideal center candidate in his mind will be taken away by other teams-if compared with the team's economic strength, Atletico Madrid does not have much advantage.

Compared to their neighbors Real Madrid.Madrid's economy is a civilian team. They don't have much money to introduce big-name stars, and even the players they cultivate are often bought by those big clubs.

From Torres, Falcao, Aguero.Atletico Madrid has core players who leave almost every year. Of course, there are economic factors in Atletico Madrid itself.Compared with other big clubs, the salary level of players they can afford is much lower.

Simeone has begun to predict that as Atletico Madrid's performance rises this year, part of his team's main lineup may be dismembered by those rich clubs next year.Especially the team's main center, Diego Costa, who broke out this season, has now been frequently reported that big teams in the Premier League are making ominous glances at him.

Originally, he focused on Griezmann, who is currently playing for Real Sociedad. He is very optimistic about this player, but Griezmann is not a center candidate.

If Diego Costa cannot be retained, Simeone must find a new center forward for the team. From all aspects, Li Qingshan is his first choice.
