Half of the summer has badured us that the post of sports director of "Zenith" will be taken by Vladislav Radimov or other characters, including
If the information is confirmed and Ribbalta gets a job at Zenit, this will be the main transfer Russian football in the summer of 2018. In Petersburg finally, there will be a person capable of resolving transfer issues. After the death of Constantine Sarsania, it was not in the club.
Who is Ribbalta?
Ribbalta began his career in big football in 2008 from work in the Italian "Torino". From Turin, he was seduced by AC Milan, and until 2011, the Spanish worked for the Rossoneri. Then there was a year in Novar and finally a place where Javiera knew everyone about football – Juventus.
He was a member of the strongest team in Italy for five years, helped the club several times to change drastically. (but more on that below).
And Ribbalt's last season was spent at Manchester United.
He is 37 years old and speaks four languages - English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
Main Skills: excellent knowledge of transfer market, knowledge of contract details of interested players, a good negotiator.
What's so cool?
The first serious success of Ribalta was produced in the first year of his work in Turin. It is thanks to his help that the Italian club has acquired midfielder Paul Pogba from Manchester United, paying a small compensation – about a million euros. For four years, the French became the best player in the Serie A series and was then sold to Manchester United for $ 105 million.
And next to Pogba?
Ribbalta tied all efforts to ensure that in the "Juventus" were Sami Khedira (free), Mario Mandzhukich (21 million euros) and Miral Pianic (32 million euros). It is the Spaniard who managed to convince Alex Sandro, the Porto defender, to join Juventa in 2015, although Manchester City and Chelsea were in high demand at that time. The amount of the transfer was not the highest compared to current standards of 26 million euros.
And that is Ribalta in the summer of 2014 that convinced Juventus' s executives to buy Real Madrid Alvaro Murten for 20 million euros. Two years later, the attacker returned to Madrid, but already for 30 million.
In the same 2014, Javier agreed to transfer to Juventus Patrice Evra for only 1.5 million euros. Although the Frenchman at that time
Paulo Dibala also appeared in Turin, not without the participation of Ribalta. The amount of the transfer was 40 million euros. Now, Argentina is already three times more expensive. But he's only 24 years old
Dani Alves (free), Fernando Llorente (free), Kingsley Coman (come for free, 28 million) – that's all Javier's work.
And that he was never wrong
Everyone is wrong, including Ribbalt. For example, he possessed the idea of signing Inter's defender Lucio in 2012. As a result, the Brazilian did not join the team, spent just four games and returned at home. In this story there is exactly one more – he came to Turin without compensation. It is gone, by the way, too ..
There is still not the most successful examples of the activity of the 39; Spanish. For example, the attackers Nicolas Anelka and Niklas Bendtner. They could not prove themselves in Juve either. But in the first case the transfer was free, and in the second case – the rent, after which Juventus did not buy the Dane at Arsenal.
And in "MJ" what did he do?
Ribalte is credited with transfers from midfielder "Shakhtar" "Fredai 19-year-old right back" Porto "Diogo Dalot.Of course, for both players," MU "dropped nearly a hundred million d & rsquo; But here we have to understand that the English clubs with their frenzied incomes have long been forced to overpay.On Porto and Shakhtar
Ribalta's list of accomplishments could become a bit wider, but his ideas were not understood by the club management, which angered the club's fans: social networks, fans of "MU" are sad from the departure of the Spanish
