Chapter 286 The sought-after Deco
After finalizing all the transfers, David thought he could take a good rest, but someone refused to let David do what he wanted.
The chairman of Porto, Costa, called David eight times a day, because he knew that only David could decide the transfer of Notts County players, so he would tirelessly harass David.
"As I said, Deco is an important member of our first team in the new season, and we will not sell him!" David did not know how many times he said the same thing as General Costa.
"No, no, my friend, I'm thinking about you. You already have Alonso. If Deco is also in Notts County, the positions of the two will overlap. This is the biggest waste of resources, yes Notts County is not good for the players." Costa's voice was full of false concern and temptation, as if he was really trying to persuade David as a friend.
David really doesn't understand what kind of wily Costa is!
It's true that Deco is outstanding, but after all, Porto has not yet won the Champions League. I am afraid that only a UEFA Cup runner-up will not be able to impress the giants. Even if Deco's worth has increased, where can it go?
If David remembers correctly, Deco moved to Barcelona after Porto won the Champions League. At that time, the transfer fee was roughly 2000 million euros, but now he can't reach such a value at all, even if Porto spends 1200 million euros or more If you buy more of his ownership, you won't be able to make millions if you change hands.
Anyway, Porto is also a Portuguese super giant, as for spending all day with yourself for those small millions?
Or does Porto really want Deco to stay?
Well, it's not impossible!
Mourinho led the team to the final of the UEFA Cup, and it can be said that they lost to Notts County in the end, but this did not prevent them from developing greater ambitions.
Why can't there be a bigger breakthrough in the Champions League!
If you want to say who is the most important in the Porto team, the first is undoubtedly Mourinho, and the most important among the players must be the team commander Deco. If there is no such midfielder, then the strength of Porto I'm afraid it will directly drop a notch.
Without the rear leader Carvalho, Mourinho's ability to find a replacement has already caused him to lose hundreds of hairs. If the team loses the core of the midfield, then simply stop playing!
Go home, wash and sleep!
So Mourinho has given Costa an ultimatum. If he wants to maintain his current performance or improve his performance, he must keep Deco or find a replacement of the same level, otherwise he cannot guarantee Porto's results for next season.
Costa is naturally full of hair. How could he have thought that the momentary greed at that time would cause the current consequences!
However, he is very urgent to buy Deco back again. Even if Mourinho's feelings are not considered, Deco is worth his shot.
If Porto can go further in the Champions League next season, then the value of Deco, who is the core of the team, will inevitably rise accordingly, and it will cost a lot of money to sell.
That's why Costa is harassing David now, hoping that Notts County will send Deco back to Porto.
"I don't think there is any overlap between the positions of the two. Mr. Costa, you must know that our Notts County has lost a main midfielder in the summer, and Deco, who is both offensive and defensive, can completely secure the main force. So there is no need for you to worry about this issue!" David's tone was very cold, because no one would be in a good mood if he was harassed many times a day.
However, Costa on the other end of the phone was obviously unwilling to let it go, "I know that Meireles has gone to Chelsea, but as far as I know, Meireles is more responsible for defensive tasks in Notts County. For protection, if Deco is allowed to do this work, it would be a waste. If you agree, I will exchange Deco with our captain Costinia. Costinia is a pure defensive type The midfielder is still the main force of the Portuguese national team, you will definitely not lose money in this deal!"
Speaking of this, Costa looked compassionate again, as if he had contributed a lot to Notts County.
If Costa stood in front of him, I'm afraid he couldn't help but punch Costa in the face.
This business has been ruined by him!
Of course Costinha, the defensive midfielder David, knows, and indeed, as Costa said, he is the absolute main force in the Portuguese national team and Porto's defensive midfielder position, and he is well-known.
But you must know that Costinia is already 30, and he is still a pure defensive midfielder. His worth in the transfer market is estimated at less than 500 million euros.
You want to exchange a 30-year-old defensive midfielder for my playmaker who was in his prime, thank you for being able to say it!
Moreover, Notts County already has a pure defensive midfielder like Mascherano, so what do you want a veteran like Costinia?
As a mascot?
If we want a mascot, we have Hubnell too, he's so much sexier with his big beard!
"Okay, Mr. Costa, we are all very busy. Let me reiterate for the last time that Notts County will not sell Deco. If there is nothing else, please forgive my rudeness!" With no chance to continue talking, David hung up the phone directly.
Some people can't be polite to him, otherwise he will kick his nose in the face!
Forget it, anyway, I don't plan to become a friendly club with Porto, just ignore that old fox.
In fact, David doesn't know the truth hidden in it. Now Costa is harassing David so much, and part of him blames David himself.
Deco is not as uninterested as David imagined, and it does not mean that no one was interested in Deco before Porto won the Champions League in his previous life.
Such as Barcelona, such as Liverpool
After Guardiola left the Nou Camp, Barcelona did not find a core player who could organize the team's offense well. The players are immature and cannot reach the level of supporting a top giants.
Especially after Rijkaard took office, the pass-and-control style of play will inevitably require a true organizational master. Although Harvey has this potential, at present, he still needs someone to shield him from the wind and rain for a few seasons.
This type of player is not easy to find. Deco, a Brazilian midfielder who has already entered the Portuguese nationality, naturally entered Barcelona's sight.
For Liverpool, a strong organizer is also needed, who can not only sort out the team's offense, but also further liberate Gerrard's offensive power, so the Red Army also turned their attention to Deco.
