Dear Milan, NO FABIANO FO’ YOU!

By: Anthony | July 15th, 2009

Everyone knows that we have the best negotiator in the world as out president and yes folks, he’s at his good ol’ tricks again.

Over the years José María del Nido has made Sevilla Fútbol Club, a very rich one. I don’t know if it’s his strong-willed nature and stubbornness or if he’s just a damn good negotiator but the numbers speak for themselves really; Dani Alves for 36 € million, Baptista for 25 €, Reyes for 30 € million, Sergio Ramos 27 € million + VAT of buy-out clause.

Those aren’t Ronaldo-esque transfer sums but they’re pretty significant amounts for that small club from Andalucía.

So anyone who knows anything about fútbol and the ongoing saga’s of this summer will know that Italian giants, AC Milan are interested in bringing our star Brasilian, OFabuloso or better known as Luis Fabiano to the San Siro.

Fabiano has become quite the hot property since his great success in the Confederations Cup where he came out with a first place medal and the golden boot as a result of being the leading goal scorer. He has had no shortage of admirers but Milan seemed to be his preferential choice of destination if he had to leave Nervión. Newspapers were very deceiving when they quoted Luis as someone who wanted to leave us because he only said that it would be an honour to play for Milan but he would have no problems staying with us because he loves the people, the city and most importantly, Sevilla Fútbol Club.

Well it looks like he will be staying with us after all as Del Nido has once again opened that infamous mouth of his and spoken out to put unnecessary rumours to rest.

“Milan do not have the money to acquire Luis Fabiano.” “The first offer we received was worthy of a reserve team player.”

This man cracks me up, how can you not laugh at that? A good negotiator by day, a stand up comedian by night. Love it. But wait, there’s more…

“Luis has renewed his contract with us. I think he will remain in Seville for the next two years.=”

Yup, that’s right ladies and gentlemen, OFabuloso will be staying in Nervión. After the past week of me and my fellow Sevillistas worrying about where one of our few last prized possessions would be spending next season, we can definitely breathe a bit easier as we know he will be suiting up in the famous rojiblanco.

With Zokora and Gámez already arriving this window, Del Nido and Monchi are assembling a squad which they believe will allow us to compete in next season’s Champions League and letting Luis Fabiano go, especially for those cheap offers that AC were offering would have been criminal. Thankfully he isn’t going anywhere and with Del Nido’s statements we can definitely be assured of a very promising season to come.

¡¡¡VAMOS MI SEVILLA!!!
