Slap to the Madrid: Chivu prefers to come to the Barça
The FC Barcelona achieved yesterday the personal commitment of Christian Chivu and of its representative, Giovani Becali, for lowers the economic pretensions of both and in this manner to enter again in the parameters that yes is willing to assume the club azulgrana.
Twenty-four hours ago the possibilities that Chivu finished dressing the undershirt of the Barça they were practically nulas. On the one hand, because the Rome stood fast in requiring for the Rumanian head office 18 million euro. By another, because Chivu had asked a slip annual brute of 7 million euro. Its representative, like commission, would have requested 4 million euro for him.
All these figures seemed exorbitant to the Barça, therefore considered that they made no sense, of very special form the petition of the Rome, given that the next one January 1, 2008, Chivu is free to sign for the club that more interest him. Therefore, to pay 18 million euro for a single season, when to the following one you can have it free, is done very difficult to assume and to pay off.
The FC Barcelona, besides, left very clear to all the parts implied in the day of yesterday that would not enter a public auction, of the one that already withdrew the Inter of Milan as reported in an official statement. If the Real Madrid desired to respond to that marketing, there he. Chivu and their environment they knew that nothing more to leave Pedja Mijatovic Tuesday of the office of the sports director of the Rome, Daniele Pradé, the Italian company telephoned again to the FC Barcelona to know if they desired to equalize or to enlarge the offering of the Real Madrid.
The Barça understands that should pay the market price that corresponds and that even can do an effort if the unmistakable will of the footballer is that of playing in the Camp Nou. Therefore only yesterday they asked again to Chivu and to Becali if they move unique and exclusively by money or if also they do it for a sports project. The answer of Chivu and of its representative was this: the money imports us a lot, of course, but the sports project of the FC Barcelona also. The club azulgrana has coach since four years ago, Frank Rijkaard, has consolidated a great base and has in its rows to large stars as Henry, Ronaldinho, Eto’ or, Messi, to Say, Puyol, etc. In contrast, the Real Madrid, even after winning the League, is under construction, beginning for the coach.
Besides all these circumstances, there is a key factor that is the affection that has always had Chivu to the Barça. Although SPORTS could not confirm it during the day of yesterday, seems to be that Geovani Becali would have been in the City Condal, where from Palm of Majorca arrived, its place of holidays, and that was interviewed with Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Soriano. What is insurance is that they maintained long conversations to bring back a situation that had been stalled.
THE SLAP TO THE MADRID
Some days ago, the Madrid rubbed the hands with the contracting of Cristian Chivu and its fans imagined the couple that they would form with Fabio Cannavaro in the axis of the defense. Was a moment of happiness, all when the Barcelona has appeared again in scene. And it has done it with force because the Catalonian assembly has arrived at an agreement with the Rumanian player to put on file for the Barcelona in the next season.
The alone agreement will be consummated in the case that the Barcelona decide to execute it because, in parallel, has also in accounts receivable to the other head office desired, Gaby Military. The Barcelona arranges now of some hours to make a decision on what player finally will be the hired. The two are agreed and remains to bet on one of the two. The Barça has the possibility to choose while the Madrid rubs the eyes, incredulous before the situation lived. It was promised them very happy with their new head office and now they can be remained with an inch of nose. The press of Madrid already gave for fact an agreement that now is put in fabric of judgment by the haste of the Barça in the negotiations.
Chivu can finish in the Madrid but will always be if the Barcelona decides that, by different reasons, his fourth acquisition is Soldier and he rules out the incorporation of the Rumanian. The Barça considers the paella the mango and the future decides it the Barça and not the Madrid.
