Chapter 154 Lease Buyout

Atletico Madrid wants to get Thiago Silva, and the one person that cannot be avoided is the current coach of AC Milan, Massimiliano Allegri.

As a player, Allegri was not very good, he played for a long time in lower league teams, such as Livorno from his hometown, and then in 1991 he joined Pescara, in Pescara, Allegri became A well-known midfielder, as a midfielder he once scored an impressive 12 goals in one season.

Allegri also played for Pescara with Stefano Bogonovo as teammates.

On September 13, 1992, Pescara scored a goal against Milan in a match that ended 5–4, in which Van Basten scored a hat-trick.

Allegri later moved to Cagliari, Perugia and Naples. After a series of stints in the A and B leagues, he returned to Pescara, where he made his name, before playing for Pistoies and Agrianis, and in the summer of 2003, He ended his career in a year when Milan lifted the Champions League trophy for the sixth time in Manchester.

In 2004, Allegri began his coaching career. He started with the retired Agriannis. After that, he switched to the Grosseto team due to his good performance. Two years later, he joined Udinese to assist his teacher Galeo. Inside, became a member of the coaching staff.

In 2008, Allegri began to coach Cagliari, and the result helped the team get a good result in the ninth place in the league. In April 2010, the Cagliari club, which was ranked in the middle of the league at the time, unexpectedly dismissed his head coach. In June of the same year, Allegri's coaching career ushered in a major change. AC Milan officially announced that he had joined the team to replace the Brazilian coach Leonardo.

From the perspective of Allegri's coaching career, he is actually just a 'novice' in the top coaching circle, and he has not achieved any outstanding results, but the manager of the AC Milan club Galliani has put his trust in him. Legere defied the opposition and gained more support with his actual record.

In the absence of Benitez coaching Inter Milan, AC Milan jumped to the top of the standings in one fell swoop, breaking the Nerazzurri's domination of Serie A, and Allegri became the successor to Sacchi, Capello and Zaccheroni. After that, after Berlusconi took charge of Milan, the fourth coach to lead the team to win the Serie A championship in his first full season.

With achievement comes trust and power.

When he first settled in AC Milan, Allegri could only rely on the trust of the manager Galliani to gain a firm foothold in the team, but now he can intervene in the club's transfer affairs. What transfer action does the club have? Liany will consult him.

So when he heard that Atletico Madrid wanted to buy Thiago Silva, Allegri strongly objected, "Thiago is the team's most important defender, without him, the team's defense will have big problems! He is irreplaceable!"

Galliani frowned.

Galliani is not a football layman, but he is more of a businessman. Even though Berlusconi, the team's owner, is the richest man in Italy, AC Milan is a club that wants to make money. They are not like many teams in Europe, which have been losing money all the time. So he needs to consider the team's profitability.

Is Thiago Silva indispensable?

In Galliani's view, this is not the case. A year ago, the Brazilian player could not be the main force of the team. Is AC Milan's back line still not as stable?

Thiago Silva is doing well now, but he is not indispensable. More importantly, Atletico Madrid's offer of 33 million euros is very tempting... Maybe it should be considered?

"Masimi, I know that the team also needs to strengthen its strength, but our back line seems to have no shortage of people, and more importantly, the midfield. If we can buy a strong midfielder, Silva is acceptable to leave. Bar?"

Galliani asked tentatively.

Allegri thinks about it, it's a little loose. Indeed, as Galliani said, what the team lacks most at the moment is a good midfielder. Kaka left the year before last, and Pirlo left this year. The only midfielder is Seedorf. Seedorf alone will definitely not work. In terms of organization and attack, he is too different from Pirlo. The team must introduce an excellent midfielder.

"Is there a choice?"

Galliani smiled, "Maybe Atletico Madrid can provide us."

"Atletico?" Allegri's eyes lit up.

Counting all the teams in Europe, Atletico Madrid has one of the best midfielders. They can even be compared with Real Madrid. Real Madrid can find a lot of excellent midfielders, and even C-Ronaldo and Kaka in the world. Top players, but there are many Atletico Madrid. They have a former Ballon d'Or winner who played very well last season. Maurice, Germany's new generation of young leading star Ozil, Raul Garcia is also a good midfielder. , Compared with these three stars, the more sought after are two teenagers - Isco and Cork.

As any team knows, Isco and Cork are sure to be great midfielders of the future.

"If one of these two young people can come to San Siro, he will definitely become the future Kaka!"

Galliani said with certainty.

Galliani has done a lot of work before, which is to study the midfield of Atletico Madrid. Of course, Galliani will not be carried away by Atletico Madrid's 33 million euros. He mainly wants to find the next midfield core for AC Milan, To replace the absence of Kaka and Pirlo, otherwise the team will start to consider returning Kaka on loan from Real Madrid.

"...Moreover, these two teenagers are not worth a lot. If a Thiago Silva can be exchanged for a future Kaka, plus 30 million euros, this deal will not be a loss... "

Allegri was also tempted.

If Galliani promises to buy Ozil or Raul Garcia, he will definitely not believe it. Ozil is too expensive. According to the transfer principle of AC Milan, he will definitely not spend a lot of money on such an expensive purchase. The star, Raul Garcia is worth a little lower, but Atletico Madrid will definitely not sell it at a low price, and Raul Garcia is slightly rough in technology, so he can't be used as the core when he comes to AC Milan.

Morris, needless to say, is too old.

Isco and Koke are both good choices. Thinking that his own team will produce a top Kaka-level star, Allegri is a little excited.

So he nodded in agreement.

AC Milan then replied to Atletico Madrid, asking for 'Koke or Isco + 30 million euros' in exchange for Thiago Silva.

The above two players, how to choose is not a problem.

Isco’s worth is at least more than 10 million euros, and the real transfer is even more than 15 million euros. Koke is not so famous, and his worth is only about 6 million euros.

AC Milan is just a 'scribbled' reply. In fact, it just wants to test the attitude of Atlético de Madrid. If they really want to trade, they must still talk about it.

This stumped Wansheng.

Atletico Madrid and AC Milan are just the opposite. The team does not lack midfielders, especially midfielders. What they lack is excellent defenders, especially central defenders. As AC Milan replied, the two sides can indeed complement each other.

But... Wansheng was a little reluctant to let any young genius leave.

So Atletico Madrid continued to increase the price and raised the offer to 36 million euros. AC Milan directly chose to refuse without any suspense.

How to do this?

Thiago Silva, the captain of Brazil two years later, one of the best defenders in the world, of course he has to work hard, but Isco and Koke are also geniuses, they will become midfield pillar players in the future .

Wan Sheng thought about it for a day, but still couldn't let go.

But in the end, we still have to face the reality. In fact, after J-Road was confirmed to join, the team's midfield was a little piled up. Maurice, Raul Garcia, J-Road, Mario Suarez, Not counting Ozil, there are already four players who can play this position, plus Isco and Koke, six players are competing for two positions, the competition is too cruel.

Even if Isco and Koke stay in the team, Atlético de Madrid will have to loan one out.

lease?

Wansheng's eyes lit up, so he immediately replied to AC Milan, "Atletico Madrid can loan Isco or Cork to AC Milan, and the buyout clause can be specified in the contract." In this way, the club has almost nothing to lose, because they originally Just rent one of them out.

Galliani also thought about it when he saw Atletico Madrid's reply. He hoped to get one of the talents and cultivate it into the core of AC Milan in the future, but if he really buys young talents, he may not grow up.

This is also one of his concerns.

Buying a young talent is definitely a risk. Atletico Madrid’s approach just eliminates the risk. If this young talent can really grow rapidly, then they can use the buyout clause to directly make him a player of AC Milan, Otherwise, it can be returned directly to Atletico Madrid, and AC Milan is equivalent to only paying the loan fee.

Not bad!

So the point of contention between the two clubs is the number of the player on loan and the buyout clause.

Atletico Madrid clearly marked the price: both players are on loan for one year, Isco, the buyout price is 28 million euros, and Koke is 18 million euros.

The buyout price is linked to the worth of the two.

Isco is more valuable than Cork, and naturally the buyout price is also higher, so Galliani began to worry again. Speaking of two players, of course he is more optimistic about Isco, who played more at Atletico Madrid last season. Ko...but Isco is also a bit more expensive.

Cork is cheap.

Last season, Cork was stable, but he didn't make many appearances.

Galliani thought about it, and finally thought that money was more important, so he decisively chose Koke, "Anyway, they are all young talents. If you give more good times, your performance will definitely get better."

The loan of young players was negotiated, but the loan buyout and the transfer of Thiago Silva were together, so the two clubs began to formally discuss the transfer of Thiago Silva. (To be continued ~^~)
