Chapter 758 Bayern's Trouble
Bayern Munich and Trapani had a bad relationship a long time ago, but that was in the past. Later, the relationship between the two teams was very good, and there were exchanges of players. Ribery and Klose in Bayern's lineup were transferred from Trapani. It was a polite and natural thing for Hoeness to invite Trapani chairman Morek and CEO Kenyon to visit the Allianz Arena.
Morek didn't expect that Hoeness and Rummenigge had ideas. Bayern Munich was very interested in Vucinic. At the same time, he was also very interested in Schweinsteiger and Boateng, two Germans. Morek and Kenyon felt that coming to Munich for a dinner was like attending a Hongmen Banquet.
Morek didn't care about it. Kenyon was the main force of the two sides' nonsense. Schweinsteiger has grown up now. He has determined his main position in Trapani this season, which is very important for the team. Kenyon is compressing the team's salary space, but people like Schweinsteiger are not among the suppressed because his salary is not high.
When Schweinsteiger was signed to the team, Trapani paid a large transfer fee, but Schweinsteiger was very young at the time. Because of Klinsmann, Trapani signed a five-year contract with Schweinsteiger, and the agreed salary was only 1.5 million euros, plus some miscellaneous bonuses, which was about 2 million euros after tax each year.
This salary is quite suitable for young players. Di Maria and other young players are even lower than him. Schweinsteiger's development in the past two years was not very smooth, but it has improved since last year. This year, he even sat in the main position. His status is completely different, but the contract period is still long. Recently, the club is discussing new contract issues with Kenyon under the leadership.
Schweinsteiger is very likely to accept the new contract. The club will give him a salary increase, which is certain. Bayern Munich may find it difficult to match Trapani's offer. Bayern Munich can only lure him with feelings.
Schweinsteiger is a product of Bayern Munich's youth training and is German. It is certain that he has a special feeling for Bayern Munich. If Klinsmann had not called him, he might not have come to Trapani. But he is not a fool. Now his career in Trapani is going well. If Bayern Munich really relies on feelings, it is difficult to impress him.
Besides, the initiative of this matter lies with Trapani. Trapani is willing to let him go, which makes it possible for this deal to happen.
This is the case with Schweinsteiger. Another person is Boateng. Boateng has just been in the team for less than a year. This year is not very adaptable for him in life, and the team is not very adaptable for him. But he is better than David Luiz. At least he is influenced by traditional German football. His discipline is still quite good. He can listen to Bielsa's training. Because of injuries on the back line, Boateng has actually taken the main position.
It is still too early to say that his ability matches a team like Trapani, but Trapani is now in a stage where no one is available. Even if it is not possible, it has to bite the bullet!
If there is a suitable replacement, or if it can make a difference in the summer market, it is entirely possible for Trapani to let Boateng go by buying a central defender who is better than Boateng and more suitable for Trapani, but now it is impossible for Kenyon or Seli to agree to Bayern Munich's inquiry.
As for Vucinic, it is definitely much simpler. He is determined to leave, and Trapani has no intention of stopping him. Juventus is very interested in him. Agnelli talked to Hugo before, but the two sides have not yet reached a serious price.
Bayern Munich's interest in Vucinic makes people feel very sudden, but it is also reasonable. The main reason is that Bayern Munich actually has no striker available. Klose was highly valued by the team in his first season back in the Bundesliga, but this season Van Gaal came, and Klose's status immediately plummeted.
Van Gaal likes to train young people, and in the summer of 2009, Bayern Munich spent 35 million euros to introduce the Bundesliga's hottest young center forward Mario Gomez. As a result, Klose played too few games this season. Just two years after joining, he wanted to leave Bayern Munich. Seeing that Van Gaal has to stay, he will never succeed if he doesn't leave.
Hoeness and others must know that Klose has different ideas, so they have been looking for strikers. Who knows why they suddenly focused on Vucinic? Maybe they have learned from the media that the separation of Vucinic and Trapani is inevitable.
Bayern Munich is interested in Vucinic, which is not a bad thing. Morek and Kenyon are happy to see it happen. They both hope that Bayern Munich will join the fight with Juventus, but they will never give up on Boateng and Schweinsteiger.
After dinner, Morek called Hugo and talked about the topics they talked about at dinner. Hugo was naturally happy that Hoeness was willing to join the competition for Vucinic. As for Schweinsteiger, Hugo gave a clearer attitude that he would not agree to let Schweinsteiger go.
"It took a lot of effort to train him, and now they are allowed to reap the spoils?! It was a mistake for me to sell Ribery to them! Now I think about it, he should have stayed, and together with Messi, we would have the best winger combination in the world!" Hugo accidentally brought up Ribery, and of course he regretted it.
Morek laughed, his cousin didn't know what happened to Ribery at all, and thought Ribery was a good kid who grew up in Trapani in those years.
Morek told Hugo about Ribery's story, which was not something Morek deliberately understood and paid attention to, but was complained about by the big mouth Hoeness at the dinner party.
When Ribery was in Trapani before, he was definitely a good kid. He was a funny kid, but he was also a well-behaved kid. There was no way he could not play football in the French football world back then, and Trapani took him in. He was not even a fart, he had emotions but he would not disobey the rules.
When he was playing in Trapani, he also listened to the coach, but later he became a star, he had money, and he was at his peak when he transferred to Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich was eager for him, and Ribery's mentality changed. He has become a king.
Ribery thinks that he married Bayern Munich, and this understanding is fine. Ribery has indeed become the king of the Allianz Arena and the well-deserved core of the team. His temper has also grown with his achievements. He often fails to abide by the team's discipline, but Bayern Munich can't do anything about him.
Recently, Ribery was exposed by the media for being a prostitute, which really gave Bayern Munich's top management a headache. Hoeness said at dinner, "Frank has caused a lot of trouble for the club! He won't go to jail! He is such a bastard!"
Things off the field are bothering Ribery, and what makes Hoeness even more dissatisfied is that there is a big conflict between Ribery and Robben.
Ribery must be unhappy about the club's introduction of Robben, because it is equivalent to a person coming to share status and resources with him. Ribery said welcome, but in fact, he has always had a bad relationship with Robben since Robben came. They even almost got into a fight on the training ground. Later, Robben was injured, and Ribery enjoyed the exclusive favor of the fans and Van Gaal, so there was no bigger trouble.
Ribery has changed. Now hearing what Hugo said, Morek thought that Ribery's departure might not be a bad thing, but it might be a bad thing if he stayed. What if he competed with Messi for favor? !
