Chapter 1368 Give him some hope!
According to the itinerary, Real Madrid will arrive in Milan at noon the day before the Champions League final.

In the morning, the team will have the last training session in Madrid. After arriving in Milan for a short rest, they will go to the San Siro Stadium to participate in the pre-match familiarization training. This is also a plan carefully formulated by the coaching staff.

No way, Real Madrid has one week less preparation time than Atletico Madrid, so they can only race against time.

But on the afternoon before the team’s departure, after the training session, both Yang Yang and Zidane were invited to the club office building in Valdebebas. There were two main tasks, one of which was to attend Zidane’s contract renewal ceremony.

At the beginning of taking office, Zidane signed a contract with Real Madrid for one year, which was a test of the waters, but after one season of coaching, Real Madrid wanted to extend the contract with him and gave him enough sincerity in terms of salary. After thinking for a long time, Zidane decided to extend the contract until [-], which is two years.

His statement is similar to that of Yang Yang, he hopes to control the contract period reasonably.

Guardiola is right in saying that a contract that is too long can easily make people slack off, because with a long-term contract as a guarantee, the head coach has a sense of security in his heart, and people can easily become slack.

In contrast, for Zidane, money has never been a problem. How much Real Madrid offered, he didn't even think about it, he didn't even negotiate, and he signed it directly, because he didn't care about money at all.

Zidane's gold-lettered signboard has been tied to Real Madrid since the first phase of Galacticos, and has become one of the best and most commercially valuable signs in world football, which allows him to live comfortably.

Zidane's contract renewal was carried out in a very low-key manner. Even captain Ramos and vice-captain Marcelo did not come to participate. Only Yang Yang, as a player representative and the team's chief assistant coach, was invited to participate in the witness, and then participated in the core high-level meeting together.

This is also the first core high-level meeting held after Real Madrid moved into the new office building.

……

At the beginning of the meeting, De Blas, the team's legal adviser and the second vice chairman of the board of directors, took the lead in announcing the results of the club's legal team's work in the past few months, and they successfully stabilized FIFA.

To put it mildly, it's called public relations, but to put it bluntly...that's what it is anyway.

When Barcelona was punished by FIFA for the transfer ban, it did the same, directly delaying the ban for half a year.

"At present, we have successfully stabilized FIFA. It is initially estimated that the ban will be announced around the European Cup in July at the earliest. After that, we will appeal immediately. It is estimated that it will be delayed until mid-July or early August. Therefore, if we need signings, we must do it as soon as possible." Debras said with a smile.

Compared with the grim situation in January, the current situation is already very good.

At the very least, Real Madrid still has time to transfer operations.

"Recalling Morata and Asensio is already in the team's plan, and then we will definitely make appropriate adjustments to the first team and consider renting out or selling Jesse."

Technical director Valdano is in charge of the team's transfer. When he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Yang.

Everyone knows that Hesse is regarded as Yang Yang's apprentice, but now, the master is still there, but the apprentice is about to be sold.

Yang Yang also felt very helpless about this, but he also knew that this was inevitable.

Although Jesse performed well in the past season, he still has some distance from Real Madrid's rotation striker, or the role of a substitute striker. Especially in the future, Yang Yang will be one year older, and rotation will become more important. At this time, a reliable rotation striker is very important.

Whether it is the coaching staff or the technical team, they basically believe that Jesse cannot meet the needs of the team.

At present, there are many teams interested in Jesse in the transfer market. After all, he was a talented player back then.

"My opinion is that I hope to find a club that can play for him. At the same time, if possible, add a buy-back clause to give him some hope." Yang Yang expressed his opinion.

Jesse is now 23 years old. Judging from this age, the possibility of repurchasing is not very great, but Yang Yang feels that whether there is a repurchase clause is of little significance to the club, but it is different to the players, because Jesse has always been a fan of Real Madrid. He is eager to play for Real Madrid. With the repurchase clause, he will be more hopeful.

Just like what the talented striker Portillo said back then, for him leaving Real Madrid, the road ahead was dark and there was no hope, so he was completely depraved.

Yang Yang doesn't want Jesse to be the next Portillo.

"We'll try to think about it," Valdano responded.

Yang Yang can't do anything about it, many things are really beyond his control.

Just like Jesse's transfer, if Paris Saint-Germain really wanted it and offered a very good price, then Real Madrid would not be able to refuse, because it would be a damage to Real Madrid's interests.

Of course, from a professional point of view, moving to Paris Saint-Germain may not be a bad thing for Jesse. At the very least, he will get a lucrative contract and an eye-watering annual salary. How many people dream of this?
After talking about Jesse, the topic shifted to the sale within the team.

"At present we have received several intentions to buy, Juventus wants to get Mascherano, Manchester City wants to get James Rodriguez and De Bruyne, Paris Saint-Germain wants to get James Rodriguez and Di Maria, the French are also interested in Mascherano."

As soon as Valdano finished speaking, Yang Yang and Zidane looked at each other and frowned.

The poaching tentacles of the rich teams reached out to Real Madrid, but they couldn't poach the main players of Real Madrid, so they started to move towards the substitutes.

Mascherano's departure is within the team's plan, and his popularity is not surprising. Apart from Juventus, Manchester United and Chelsea are very interested in him. Now the top midfielders in European football are seriously scarce.

James Rodriguez, De Bruyne and Di Maria are all in the team's plan, but Real Madrid's midfield competition is very fierce. Among them, Di Maria's situation is more complicated. His performance this season has indeed declined quite a bit compared to before, and Vazquez has even played on top in many games. This is a problem.

"How is Kante?" Zidane asked with concern.

In his plan, he would only want to let Mascherano go if Kanter was introduced.

The position of the defensive midfielder is becoming more and more important, not only for Real Madrid, but also for other teams.

Kanter is the most outstanding defensive midfielder in the Premier League this season. Leicester City can stage a miracle of winning the championship. Kanter has contributed a lot, which has made him attract the attention of most European giants. It is said that Manchester United and Chelsea are determined to win him.

Real Madrid has Casemiro, but the characteristics of the Brazilian midfielder are different from Kanter. Casemiro’s athletic ability is not strong. On the contrary, Kanter has a very wide coverage. These two players are suitable for different tactical environments. If they can be brought in, they can greatly enhance Real Madrid’s tactical richness.

Of course, this kind of extravagant idea can only be had by a team like Real Madrid.

"We are still negotiating with Leicester City. They can't keep people anymore, and Kanter really wants to leave the team, but at present, including Chelsea, many teams want him, and he seems to be hesitating." Valdano is very distressed by this.

After hearing this, Yang Yang raised his eyebrows at Zidane, who knew it clearly.

"After the Champions League final, I went to tell him in person," Zidane said firmly.

As a French superstar and Kanter, whom he strongly recommends, it is undoubtedly appropriate for Zidane to persuade Kanter to join.

"Then Mascherano..."

"Whenever Kante is introduced, we will let Mascherano go."

Mascherano's problem is that he is getting older and his athletic ability has declined. This has put him at a disadvantage in the competition with Casemiro, and he is faintly unable to meet the club's requirements.

For example, in the first round of the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Wolfsburg, both conceded goals were related to Mascherano.

With Kante and Mascherano settled, the conversation moved on to the others.

"De Bruyne must stay." Yang Yang expressed his opinion, "I still insist on my judgment. He is one of the strongest midfielders in European football today. Unfortunately, there are David Silva, Modric and Toni Kroos beside him, but I still think that he can compete with the three major midfielders."

Yang Yang is optimistic about De Bruyne, which is known to all Real Madrid. Now, he speaks for De Bruyne again.

Of course, if De Bruyne wants to leave, then Yang Yang is not easy to force others.

It was as if Ilia Lamendi was leaving, and Yang Yang could only respect him.

Due to the transfer ban, Real Madrid may not have much time to operate Pogba's transfer. In addition, the team's current midfielders are full of talents, and even players like De Bruyne and James Rodriguez may be exodus. It is really inappropriate to introduce Pogba again.

According to the news from Italy and the information Yang Yang received from Raiola, Pogba is indeed determined to leave the team this summer, but unfortunately, the possibility of joining Real Madrid and Barcelona is very low. The former is because there is no position, and Barcelona is because there is no money.

At present, the most likely to get Pogba should be his old club Manchester United. The latter hopes to buy Pogba back and build a team around him.

Zidane feels disappointed about this, because he is very optimistic about Pogba and wants to get the French midfielder, but the cruelty of the professional league is here. When the team is playing smoothly, he cannot forcefully sell any one of David Silva, Toni Kroos and Modric, and then buy Pogba back.

This is not in Real Madrid's interest.
