Chapter 175
Capello finally agreed to Calderon's proposal. He had seen the video of the kid named Marcelo. If he only talked about his ability, there would be no big problem in playing in La Liga.
However, the main reason that prompted Capello to agree was what Calderon talked about.
That is, compared with the old man Cicinho, although Marcelo is also a South American player, he is a newcomer after all, and it is easier for him to control such a player.
After the two discussed it, Calderon immediately called Lopetegui and arranged for him to fly directly to Brazil tomorrow morning and bring Marcelo back to Madrid in winter.
····
The next day.
Brazil.
Lopetegui landed in Rio de Janeiro at around 4 pm. He didn't have time to eat and went straight to Fluminense Club as soon as he left the airport. But 10 minutes after entering the gate of Fluminense, a bad news came to his ears.
Marcelo has been signed, and it was Leeds United who signed him!
Calderon was trying to deal with the steak in front of him when Lopetegui called.
When he heard that Marcelo had been signed by Leeds United, he was so excited that he almost cut the plate with his knife.
Throwing the fork and knife on the table, Calderon turned off the speakerphone of his phone with a sullen face and put it next to his ear, cursing: "Are you kidding me! I haven't heard that Leeds United is interested in him before? When did this happen?"
"It's true, Ramon, as soon as I proposed to sign Marcelo, they told me that Marcelo had been signed by Leeds United at the beginning of this month, and they also loaned him to Real Sociedad." Lopetegui's voice was full of helplessness.
Because he hadn't heard any news about Marcelo's transfer before, Lopetegui didn't call his acquaintances here before coming. As a result, as soon as he stepped into the door of the club, God played a big joke on him!
"What about the player himself? Have you met him in person? Has he signed a contract with Leeds United? Would he rather be loaned to a relegation team like Real Sociedad than come to Real Madrid?" Calderon seemed to be furious. He was unwilling to believe this fact.
Lopetegui knew that Calderon didn't want to be slaughtered by Li Shiguang, so he quickly reminded him: "Calm down, Ramon, the staff here have clearly told me that Marcelo had signed a contract with Leeds United at the beginning of the month, and he might have already bought a ticket to England. Our top priority now is to find another target immediately, otherwise there will be no good full-backs in the market."
"Yes, I was impatient." Calderon is the helmsman of Real Madrid, the galaxy battleship. Hearing Lopetegui's reminder, he immediately calmed down, "Lopetegui, then I'll hang up first, I have to ask De Nildo right away to see if he is willing to sell their full-back!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lopetegui to answer, Calderon immediately hung up the phone and then searched for De Nildo's phone number in the address book. But for some reason, when he flipped through the address book, he always felt an indescribable uneasiness in his heart...
After a while, Calderon found DeNildo's phone number, shook off the uneasiness in his heart, and pressed the dial button fiercely.
Very quickly.
Denildo's cheerful voice rang on the phone: "Good evening, old friend, it's rare to receive a call from you, what's the matter?"
"Good evening, Denildo." After greeting, Calderon went straight to the point, "I do have something to ask you, I want to ask, is your full-back for sale?"
"Full-back?" Calderon's confusing words made Denildo's mind suddenly a little confused. He had never heard that Real Madrid was interested in its full-backs before, so he tentatively asked back: "Left or right?"
"Right!" Perhaps thinking that it was not clear enough, Calderon added, "The one who won the UEFA Cup Best Player last year, I heard that Laporta asked you for the price before."
"Ah, you mean Alves!" Denildo suddenly realized, and then said a piece of news that shocked Calderon, "We have sold him, and the contract was signed at the beginning of the month."
"What!?? You sold it to Barcelona??!" Calderon's voice suddenly rose.
"Oh, that's not the case. We sold it to Leeds United at the beginning of the month. We will be in the official account after the winter transfer window opens in a few days..."
Beep~beep~beep~beep~
Before Denildo finished speaking, a call came over the phone.The busy tone after the other party hung up the phone made him look at the hung-up phone in confusion, wondering why the old man Calderon was so rude...
····
"Ramon, are you sure you are not kidding me? Marcelo and Alves were bought by Leeds United right under your nose, and you didn't hear any news?" Capello no longer cares whether the person on the other end of the phone is his immediate boss or not. He only cares whether he should continue to use Cicinho, a scumbag, after the winter break!
Hearing Capello's obviously complaining tone, Calderon's voice had lost its previous confidence: "Fabio, now is not the time to talk about this. You have read the scout reports as of the end of last month. I just want to ask if there is any right-back you think is suitable. If there is, I will arrange someone to contact him immediately."
"No!" Capello said firmly, "The three most suitable candidates are now in Leeds United, or I want Gary Neville, can you help me ask Ferguson if he wants to sell him?"
"Fuck!" Calderon really couldn't help it and spit out a swear word. Compared with Gary Neville, he would rather believe that he can buy Maicon.
Feeling Calderon's anger, Capello was the first to calm down. He advised: "Ramon, to be honest, I really don't understand you this time. Real Madrid is not short of money. Why do you have to compete with a young man like Li Shiguang? Just buy him for 35 million euros. Then we can promote him well and make him the top bidder in this winter transfer window. It might be a good thing for us!" After listening to Capello's words, Calderon on the phone fell into a long silence. He always thought that he had Li Shiguang's advantage in the transfer of Maicon, but he didn't expect that he would be the one who suffered in the end. And from the current situation, it seems that he has to take the initiative to find Li Shiguang and reopen the negotiations with this young man...
