Li Ang used Isma as' bait 'and actually dared to ask Mallorca to come up with 1.5 million euros and Arango in exchange for Isma. This deal was simply too shady in the future. It should be known that the highest price Mallorca could offer for Isma was only 1.5 million euros. Li Ang's move was simply asking Mallorca to pay the highest transfer fee they could afford and at the same time send Arango over for free.
Shady? Perhaps, but Li Ang was not worried that Mallorca would disagree, because the other party was now eager to complete the deal. Mallorca did not know about Juan Arango's potential, so they would not reject this plan.
Sure enough, Li Ang soon received a reply from Mallorca. They were very interested in Li Ang's proposal and agreed to use the Venezuelan player Juan Arango and cash to trade for Sporting de Gijón's center back, Isma. However, Mallorca wanted to reduce the amount of money.
In this regard, Li Ang did not give in at first. He used a tough attitude to show Mallorca that he had no objections to this deal. This made Cooper a little nervous. The Argentine was really worried that Li Ang's interest in Arango was just a whim. If the Chinese suddenly did not want Arango and rejected the deal, then it would be terrible.
The current situation was that Cooper did not know that Li Ang was determined to get Arango, so he was in a passive position in this negotiation.
*****
Therefore, the final result was that Mallorca chose to give in. They finally agreed to use 1.5 million euros and Juan Arango to trade for Sporting de Gijón's Spanish center back, Isma.
Seeing that the Mallorca side had agreed to this proposal, Li Ang couldn't help but whistle proudly. When he thought of the regretful expressions on the faces of the Mallorca side when they saw Arango's outstanding performance in the Gihon Arena, he couldn't help but feel delighted.
The club had reached a consensus, and all that was left was the attitude of the players themselves.
Isma had tactfully expressed his desire to transfer to Mallorca, but his attitude was not firm and he was still hesitating. Now that Mallorca and Sporting de Gijón had reached an agreement, Isma naturally went with the flow and agreed to the transfer. Not only would he be able to move to Mallorca and obtain a main position there, his personal salary would also increase, and his relationship with Li Ang and Sporting de Gijón would not be strained. This was naturally a very good outcome.
Isma had no more problems.
But what about Juan Arango?!
Juan Arango did not have any problems. He had come from the Mexican league to the mainstream European league. In the half a season that he had joined Mallorca, his performance had been very average, so much so that the talented Venezuelan players began to doubt themselves. They wondered if they could not adapt to the La Liga. This kind of self-doubt was very fatal for a player. Once this kind of self-doubt persisted for a long time, it would really completely destroy a player's self-confidence.
Under such circumstances, Arango suddenly received a notice that he had been spotted by Sporting de Gijón's manager, Li Ang, and was going to transfer to Sporting de Gijón.
Arango was a little excited. No matter what, a manager had spotted him and wanted him to join, which gave him a certain amount of confidence. Not to mention that the manager who had spotted him was the famous manager in La Liga, Li Ang. Moreover, Sporting de Gijón was currently ranked fourth in La Liga. Between the fourth-ranked team in the league and the second-to-last team in the league, Arango was naturally not stupid to choose.

In addition, there was another reason. Arango had been brought in by Mallorca's former manager, Floro. Now that Floro had been dismissed, the new manager, Cooper, did not seem to show any appreciation for Arango, which made Arango want to leave.
In short, the final result was to everyone's satisfaction. Arango agreed to transfer to Sporting de Gijón as a bonus for Isma's joining of Mallorca. The midfielder, who was later known as the "national treasure of Venezuela," did not feel that there was anything wrong or embarrassing about his treatment of joining Sporting de Gijón at a negligible price. For the current Arango, Sporting de Gijón's manager, Li Ang, had spotted him and wanted him to join, which was enough to make him very happy and excited. Now Arango was a loser, and a super loser who looked like he had no future. It could be said that he was a little flattered to be spotted by Li Ang, the popular manager of La Liga.
Li Ang was still in China, so he asked the club's general manager, Venita Arango, to handle the transfer and negotiate with the player himself about his personal benefits. According to Li Ang's estimation, Arango could not ask for a high salary. Just an average contract in the Sporting de Gijón team would be enough to satisfy Arango. At the same time, Li Ang did not forget to tell him to sign a long-term contract with Arango. FIFA stipulated that the maximum length of a player's contract was five years, so he would try to sign it for five years.
Soon, he received good news. There were no problems with Arango's physical examination, and Arango had no objections to Sporting Gihon's proposal of a five-year contract. At the same time, Isma's physical examination with Mallorca went smoothly, and the negotiation of a personal contract with Mallorca was also completed smoothly under Koopa's eagerness for talent.
Therefore, the player deal between Sporting de Gijón and Mallorca was completed very quickly. Both sides signed the contract with the player. They were only waiting for the official opening of the winter transfer window on January 1, 2005. Then, the player deal would officially take effect.
At the same time, Chiesa arrived in Gijón from Italy and underwent a medical examination. The Italian veteran was in good health and passed the medical examination smoothly. Then, there was not much disagreement between the two sides about the personal benefits, and they quickly reached a consensus.
Now, both sides had drafted the contract. They were only waiting for the winter transfer window to open. Sporting de Gijón would transfer the transfer funds to Siena's account. The other side would confirm the deal, and Sporting de Gijón would submit the transfer contract to the Spanish Football Federation. Then, they could officially announce the signing of the player.
Before the winter transfer window opened, Sporting de Gijón quietly signed the Venezuelan player Juan Arango and the Italian veteran Chiesa. They continued to strengthen the team's offensive ability in the middle and front fields.
