Chapter 507 Leeds United signings
Although Li Yi's appearance changed a lot of things, some things still happened as scheduled. For example, after Li Yi left, Mo Ji went crazy to death, and finally the phone door broke out.
Li Yi didn't have time to pay attention to the Serie A scandal, but the Italian media took out what Li Yi had said, and even went to Madrid.
Li Yi didn't want to get too involved in the Serie A matters, but something closely related to Li Yi was happening in Madrid, that is, the election for Real Madrid's new recruits.
Ramon Calderon jumped out as before, and also followed the original strategy, which is to bring a large number of new stars to Real Madrid.
However, Calderon obviously didn't know that Li Yi had the right to sign Real Madrid. Real Madrid needed Li Yi's approval to buy anyone.
Li Yi doesn't care about Calderon's election. To be honest, after leading Real Madrid to win the Triple Crown, Li Yi has fulfilled his wish. It doesn't matter whether he will coach Real Madrid next season or not.
So Li Yi could look at Real Madrid's presidential election from the perspective of an outsider, because Calderon had no contact with him at all, which meant something, that people were ignoring him.
In this case, it was meaningless for Li Yi to stay in Madrid, so Li Yi first sent Bellucci back to Italy. Although there was already a house in England, the house had just been bought and needed renovation. Besides, the weather in England was really hard to please.
With the arrival of the holidays, the signing of Leeds United was also on the agenda. Zabaleta, who was recommended by Li Yi, joined Leeds United as scheduled and paid 450 million euros for Leeds United.
It is a pity that Leeds United failed to hit the Europa League in the end, which also made Guardiola eager to sign. Zabaleta was just the beginning, and then Leeds United spent 500 euros to introduce Dinamo Zagreb to introduce Croatian midfielder Modric.
The past season was the beginning of Modric's official rise, and in order to tie Modric to the team, Dinamo Zagreb actually wanted to sign a ten-year contract with Modric.
According to the original history, Modric must have signed it, but now it is different. Modric’s agent is Corleone, so the contract was naturally rejected, and Modric did not even renew the contract at all.
In this regard, Dinamo Zagreb seemed to use methods to force Modric to submit, but unfortunately, their methods had the opposite effect. Although Dinamo Zagreb finally transferred Modric back to the first team because of their record, Modric has already made up his mind to go to the club immediately.
Originally Guardiola wanted to introduce Montolivo to his old club Cagliari, but after seeing Modric's performance, Guardiola changed his mind. This is not because Modric is much better than Montolivo, but because of Leeds United's own situation.
Compared with Modric's low value, Leeds Lenovo needs at least 2000 million worth to take away Montolivo from Cagliari. Although Cagliari's performance was a bit poor last season, Montolivo's performance was quite outstanding.
In fact, there is no problem with the personal abilities of Cagliari players. With the current situation in Serie A, not to mention the top four, the top six are definitely possible, but the head coach will not use it.
At present, there are quite a lot of people in Cagliari who are clamoring to leave. Montolivo has often been seduced by wealthy families, but with the outbreak of phone calls, Montolivo may not be able to leave.
Lamy and Valbuena both called Li Yi, hoping to leave Cagliari, but the current status of the two is not low. It would take nearly ten million euros to take them away, which Leeds United could not afford.
You know, Zabaleta and Modric spent Leeds United 1000 million euros, Zabaleta 450 million euros, and Modric 550 million.
There is one year left in Modric's contract. Although he does not let him go now, he will leave for free in the coming year. Dinamo Zagreb, who don't want to lose money and money, can only choose to let him go.
In addition, Guardiola said that he still needs a goalkeeper. In Li Yi's mind, there are actually many goalkeepers, but he still values the German goalkeeper, and his eyes are still sitting on the Leverkusen bench. Adler.
In the world of football, there are many players ruined by injuries, and Adler is one of them. This young German goalkeeper will emerge in the following season, and he will rise completely in the 07-08 season. But unfortunately, Adler became a nightmare in 09, and the injury has since found him. It is said that Ferguson was already ready to make a move.
It was also from this year that the finals between Adler and Neuer were swapped. You must know that before Adler was injured, his strength had always been higher than that of Neuer, and he was recognized as the future No. [-] goalkeeper in Germany.
However, it is not easy to win Adler, because Leverkusen will not let him go easily. Although Adler has been on the bench for three seasons in Leverkusen and has not even won a league game, Leverkusen seems to value Adler.
Of course, it is not impossible to poach corners, because Li Yi has long been prepared and asked Corleone to set his sights on Germany. Currently, Adler is also under Corleone's account.
Moreover, Adler has been sitting on the bench in Leverkusen for three years, and Bout's performance is also quite problematic, and Bout can not only keep the goal, but also score goals.
Although it is not to say that Adler is directly given the main goalkeeper position, even if there is a competitive opportunity, Adler is not willing to make mistakes. After all, he does not see much hope in Leverkusen.
Of course, it was definitely not Li Yi himself who convinced Adler. The current head coach of Leeds United, Pep Guardiola, and Li Yi's identity, so the task of convincing Adler was left to Corleone.
Adler did have potential injuries, but Li Yi was not afraid. Even if he was injured under Guardiola's account, Li Yi could bring him back, let alone change Adler's career trajectory in the future.
Leeds United's first offer was 300 million euros, and Leverkusen soon rejected it, but Leeds United did not give up, and the second offer followed, 500 million euros.
Although the difference between 300 million and 500 million is only 200 million, this gap is already a very high offer for a young player who has never even played in the top league.
Although the Russian oligarchs created a gold and dollar storm, the current European transfer market is not as crazy as it was later. In Li Yi's era, it really cost tens of millions.
Moreover, when Leeds United's second offer was passed to Leverkusen general manager Worraer, Adler also showed his card to the general manager, and Adler did not say anything to death.
