After being repeatedly rejected, Li Ang became more motivated.
He looked around. Li Ang locked his eyes on a Serie B team.
Renaya was almost relegated in Serie B last season. Although they managed to avoid relegation and stay in Serie B, the experience of almost being relegated to Serie C scared some of the players in the team and they started to look for their own way out.
Even if most of the players were willing to stay in Renaya, it did not prevent other players from taking the opportunity to poach them.
This time, Li Ang's target was also on this team. His target was Renaya's Argentinian striker, Diego Milito.
When the name Diego Milito popped into his mind, Li Ang got excited. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Milito was the most suitable striker for the Gihon team. No matter how he looked at it, Diego Milito was currently the most suitable striker for the Gihon team.
First of all, Diego Milito was cheap. He was a 25-year-old Argentinian striker who had just arrived in Europe for a year. He had joined Renaya in Serie B and played in Serie B for a season, scoring 12 goals. Renaya also barely avoided relegation in Serie B, so Milito was not eye-catching at this time.
Then, Diego? Milito was a fox in the penalty area. He was very good at grasping opportunities to shoot in the penalty area. Sporting Gihon's other main striker, Di Natale, was well-rounded in his skills. His passing and shooting were quite good. The partnership between the two could be said to be very complementary. Of course, Milito was not like van Nistelrooy, who was an absolute penalty area shooter whose threat was greatly reduced when he left the penalty area. Even if he left the penalty area, Milito was still very threatening. In short, Milito was very well-rounded.
Also, Milito had no problem adapting to La Liga. Li Ang knew that. A year later, Milito joined La Liga's Real Zaragoza. Milito was like a fish in water there. He scored 53 goals for Real Zaragoza in three seasons. His scoring efficiency was very good.
This kind of Diego Milito was very suitable for Sporting de Gijon.

After making up his mind, Li Ang offered Renaya 800,000 euros for Milito.
Sporting de Gijón soon received a response. Renaya rejected the offer, saying that Milito was not for sale.
Li Ang did not believe this. There was no Serie B team that was not for sale. He started to ask around and found out that other than Sporting de Gijón, there were other teams that were also chasing after Sporting de Gijón.
Catania, Treviso and Napoli in Serie B were all pursuing Milito. This news surprised Li Ang. He did not expect Napoli to pursue this player when Milito still cared about Serie B.
What was interesting was that Catania, Treviso, and Napoli, the three Serie B teams, had also offered eight hundred thousand euros for Diego Milito. Among them, Catania seemed to be determined to get Milito.
The Italians were no longer ignorant of this newly promoted La Liga team. Sporting de Gijón had previously brought in Di Natale from Empoli, Grosso from Palermo, and also signed Albertini. The Italians were still talking about it. Previously, there were not many Italian players who went to play in Spain. They did not expect three players to go to such a newly promoted La Liga team this summer.
In particular, Albertini's joining of Sporting de Gijón made this newly promoted La Liga team a little famous in Italy.
*****
Renaya was very optimistic about Sporting de Gijón, who had just joined the battle for Milito. Well, to be exact, they were ecstatic. Well, after all, they were a La Liga team. They had to offer a higher price.
This was obviously a rip-off, but Li Ang did not mind because he knew that Renaya could not extort much. At this time, no one would know how bright the future of the Argentine striker, who had only begun to create a name for himself in European football at the age of 25, would be. Renaya wanted to rip him off, but at the very most, they could only ask for a few hundred thousand euros more.
Therefore, Sporting de Gijón made a second offer. Li Ang directly raised Milito's price by one million euros.
Sporting de Gijón wanted one million euros for Diego Milito.
This price was beyond the psychological endurance of the other suitors. Even Catania, who were originally determined to get Milito, began to hesitate. Catania was optimistic about Milito, but they had limited funds. Eight hundred thousand euros was already painful for them, and one million euros was even more painful.
However, Catania seemed to be very optimistic about Milito. They gritted their teeth and raised their price to one million euros for Diego Milito.
Almost immediately after Catania's second offer, Sporting de Gijón's third offer arrived. One million and five hundred thousand euros!
Sporting de Gijón's third offer directly increased by five hundred thousand euros!
This time, Catania was directly defeated. This Serie B team was so angry that they wanted to curse. This Sporting de Gijón, this Spanish team, suddenly came out from the side to mess things up. It was the most abominable.
However, even if they were angry, they could not do anything. One million euros was the limit of what they could afford. One million and five hundred thousand euros was not something they could afford! They really could not afford it!
Li Ang was very confident that he could get Milito with one million and five hundred thousand euros. He deliberately raised the price from one million to one million and five hundred thousand euros to scare the other competitors. This was a signal to the others: Sporting de Gijón was rich! They did not lack money!
Yes, Li Ang, who had a transfer fee of six million euros in his hands, dared to act like a big boss in front of several Serie B teams.
*****
As Li Ang expected, Renaya's team had no reason to reject the offer of one million and five hundred thousand euros. In fact, Renaya's mouth was crooked with laughter. In their opinion, Sporting de Gijón was simply a good person and very generous.
Renaya accepted the offer and agreed to let Sporting de Gijón and Milito negotiate personal benefits.
In fact, things had progressed very smoothly up to this point.
What would Diego Milito choose at this time?
If a team that could participate in European competitions wanted to recruit him, the 25-year-old Argentine striker would naturally not refuse. Those Serie B teams and Sporting de Gijón from La Liga and could participate in the UEFA Europa League. There was almost no hesitation in choosing which one to choose.
Milito happily began to discuss his personal benefits with Sporting de Gijón.
Two days later. Sporting de Gijón's official website updated their transfer news again. The 25-year-old Argentine striker Diego Milito from Serie B club Renaya officially transferred to Sporting de Gijón for one million and five hundred thousand euros. The Argentine striker signed a five-year contract with the 'King of the North' team.
On the official website, there was a photo. In the photo, Li Ang was full of smiles. Beside him was Milito, who was also smiling. The Argentine held up his Sporting de Gijón jersey. Milito had chosen the number 22!
