Chapter 59: Acquisition encountered obstacles

After Tang Feng became the head coach of Betis Club, although he got the right to buy players independently, the transfer budget given to him by the club was very limited.

After signing the contract, Lopera only gave Tang Feng a transfer budget of $5 million on the grounds that the club's downgrade caused a sharp drop in fiscal revenue.

After Tang Feng tried hard to win, Lopela also made a step forward. He said that after deducting the initial transfer investment, the club will take a part of the income from selling players and then invest in the transfer market as appropriate!

Although the word "as appropriate" is worth pondering, for Tang Feng, it has at least won some benefits.

According to Tang Feng's last assessment, after selling some players who are basically impossible to stay in the team, Betis can recover at least about 15 million US dollars.

Among them, the most valuable one is Spanish international Alfonso.

If he had shined in this European Cup this year as in history and became a hero of the Spanish national team, his net worth would have easily exceeded 10 million US dollars.

Of course, if the butterfly effect occurs due to the arrival of Tang Feng, which leads to Alfonso doing nothing this year's European Cup. As a national player, Alfonso will sell 70 to 8 million US dollars, it will be no big problem.

Therefore, Tang Feng is not worried that he will not receive subsequent transfer funds after using up the five million US dollars.

After spending 1.2 million US dollars on the young Villa, Tang Feng's first transfer budget is still 3.8 million.

In Tang Feng's opinion, the remaining transfer budget is not necessarily enough for him to take away his favorite players from Real Sociedad.

So, today Tang Feng’s idea is to try a player’s trade!

...

After arriving in San Sebastian, Tang Feng and Monci directly found the transfer manager of Real Sociedad, Jose Barcro.

Barcro is very young, less than forty years old. He was very glorious during his time as a player and once played for Real Sociedad and Barcelona.

During Real Sociedad's period, he caught up with the team's two most glorious seasons, 80-81 and 81-82! In these two seasons, Real Sociedad completed consecutive championships in the league.

At that time, the young Barcro had just joined the team, but he still won the two championships as a major substitute.

After eight years of playing for his hometown team, Barcro came to La Liga giants Barcelona.

As it turns out, Barcro is very lucky, because he caught up with Barcelona's "Dream Team". After spending nine brilliant seasons in Barcelona, ​​Barcro played in the low-level league for another season. After retiring, he returned to his parent team Real Sociedad and entered the team's management.

A retired star who was a brilliant player in such a player who was also a "personal person", naturally became successful in Real Sociedad. At his young age, he already held the weight of power at Real Sociedad.

Tang Feng also expressed enough respect for such a senior.

"Mr. Barcrolo, I'm very happy to see you. As early as when I was a student, I was a fan of you and Barcelona Dream Team. I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to meet you at the negotiating table. This is my honor!" Tang Feng first flattered Barcrolo.

During the Barcelona Dream Team, superstars were gathered. Although Barcro was the midfielder of the team at that time, for a Chinese fan, Tang Feng was obviously more familiar with superstars who played for the Dream Team, such as Guardiola, Stoickov, Romario, Lauderup and Haji.

Although Tang Feng knows about Barcro, who almost runs through the entire Dream Team, he is definitely not a fan of him.

People always like to hear others' praise. People like Barcrolo who have successful players and now have high positions are even more so. After being praised by Tang Feng, Barcrolo also showed a smile on his face, and then replied: "At the age of 25, he became the head coach of a traditional powerhouse like Betis. Mr. Tang is also young and promising!"

"In the football circle, I am just a young man who knows nothing. I need to rely more on seniors like Mr. Barcrolo to take care of him in the future!" Tang Feng replied humbly.

After flattering each other for a few words, the subsequent negotiations will undoubtedly be smoother.

"Haha, Don. You came to our club at this time, probably not just to chat with me, right?" After a greeting, Barcro began to get into the topic.

"Mr. Barcro, you know too. Betis has been relegated to Class B this season, and there will definitely be many main players who will leave the team. Therefore, I also hope to buy a young player from your club who cannot play in the game!" Tang Feng replied with a smile.

"Oh? A young player who can't play the game? Mr. Tang has a crush on which young man from our second team? This is easy to say. If it is not in the team's plan for the time being, it is not a big problem to lend it to you!" Barcro replied generously after hearing Tang Feng's words.

"Haha, thank you very much Mr. Barcrolo. However, the player I liked had already joined the first team of your club last season. Moreover, my idea was to buy out, not loan..." Tang Feng continued.

"The first team player? This is not easy to deal with. We don't plan to make too much adjustments to the lineup this season. I don't know which player Mr. Tang has liked?" Barcro said with a embarrassed look on his face.

"Harvey Alonso. As far as I know, he didn't get much opportunity under Mr. Clement, right? Such a young player is exactly what a relegation team like ours needs. I wonder if Mr. Barcrolo can do it?" Tang Feng lowered his posture and said.

"You mean Harvey? No, no, I think Mr. Tang, you're wrong. He is the key training target of our club. His father Perick used to play with me on the team and is my big brother. Now he also works in the club. I think he hopes that his son will play in the team where he once played." After hearing the name Tang Feng said, Barcro shook his head and said.

Barcro's performance was not pretending. He did play for Real Sociedad with Xavi Alonso's father Peric Alonso, and once participated in the two consecutive championships in the most glorious league in the club's history.

Now Peric Alonso is also a member of the club. His two sons, Xavi Alonso and Mikel Alonso, both play for Real Sociedad.

When Tang Feng heard Barkro's words, he also felt a headache.

He also understood what Barcro said. This is also the biggest resistance he has to get to Xavi Alonso.

"Mr. Barcro. Since you and Xavi Alonso's father are old teammates, you should consider him more carefully. You should know that Xavi has no position in the team at all. For a young player like him, the most needed thing is to play. But Betis can give him this..." Tang Feng did not give up and continued to ask.

"Mr. Tang. You are right. Now our team's midfield lineup is relatively neat, so there is no place for Xavi. Therefore, we mean that we can loan him out for a season first and then return to the team. But if we want to buy out, we may not be able to agree." Barcro replied honestly.

Tang Feng knew that this season, Xavi Alonso was indeed loaned to a Spanish Second Division team by Real Sociedad. However, during the winter break, because Real Sociedad's poor record, Clement was dismissed. The new coach Welshman Toshak strongly demanded the recall of Xavi Alonso, which also made Xavi Alonso the main midfielder of Real Sociedad from then on.

Tang Feng wanted to get Xavi Alonso, and in his tactics, Xavi Alonso has an extremely important position. So, all he could do was to buy Xavi Alonso out completely.

"Haha, Mr. Barcro. I can understand the idea of ​​your club. But I also hope you can understand our difficulties. This relegation is also an opportunity for our team to rebuild. If Xavi integrates into our team but is taken back by your club, will we be in vain? Therefore, I still hope to buy out Xavi Alonso. The price is easy to discuss!" Mengqi, who has been with Tang Feng, suddenly joined at this time.

Monkey, who knows Tang Feng better, obviously saw his importance to Harvey Alonso. These words also expressed what Tang Feng thought.

"I can naturally understand your difficulties. But Harvey is the future of our team, so we naturally have no reason to give up on him!" Barcro still smiled and declined Monkey's words.

Tang Feng and Meng Qi looked at each other, and they obviously heard what Barcro said, not just to increase the value of Xavi Alonso.

Barcro seems to have a firm attitude, that is, Xavi Alonso is a non-sale product for the team!

Of course, as for why it is not sold, there are several possibilities. First, Barcro and Real Sociedad Club are indeed very optimistic about the future of Xavi Alonso, so they are unwilling to let go. Second, it may be because of Xavi Alonso's relationship with Perrik Alonso, who is a meritorious player of the team and now the club official.

According to Tang Feng's memory, Xavi Alonso's brother Mikel Alonso's strength is relatively average. However, Mikel Alonso continued to play for Real Sociedad in the future, and was on loan.

Generally speaking, for a player who is no longer young, if the team does not need it, all they have to do is sell it instead of constantly lending it out. Real Sociedad never gave up on Mikel Alonso in the future. Among them, it is obvious that there is some relationship between his father.

For these two possibilities, Tang Feng can only hope that it is the second one.

In the end, the negotiation between Tang Feng and Barcro failed to achieve its goal.

After saying goodbye to Barcro, Tang Feng and Monchi did not leave Saint Sebastian directly, but continued to stay here.

Because Tang Feng didn't want to give up, he would also talk to Xavi Alonso's father, trying to convince the former Spanish international to take his son away!
