Although I don't understand why the boss would like these players, but considering George's previous move to sign Ronaldo and Drogba and others at a high price, Marotta and they didn't say anything more - since the boss has spoken, then these employees just need to follow orders.

So, after this meeting, George began to pack his bags and prepare to travel to Madrid for a head-to-head meeting with the current head of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez. And in Marotta, the others also set off one after another, and went to carry out their respective tasks according to George's arrangement.
And because of the butterfly effect brought by George, Palermo, who failed to get Tony as in his previous life, and Fiorentina, who may not get Tony because of this variable, and Marseille, which is destined to miss Ribery, will lose the opportunity to rise again because of George's relationship, that is not something that George needs to consider- What are you kidding, Palermo and Fiorentina have no personal relationship with him, and there is no direct interest relationship with Tottenham, so why should he be responsible for them?
If you have the ability, you can dig a player from somewhere else to replace Tony or Ribery, rise step by step according to the trajectory of your previous life, stay where you are honestly if you don't have the ability, or fight for relegation every year. He doesn't have the kung fu, nor does he have the responsibility or obligation to find a way out for these clubs.
Under George's orders and Paraticić's command, Tottenham's transfer department immediately set up and sent a transfer offer of 5.5 million euros to Brescia FC, expressing their desire to bring in Luca Toney from them!
After receiving this offer from Tottenham, Brescia FC, which had been arguing with Palermo over Toney's transfer fee, immediately put the former aside - compared to Palermo, who refused to increase the price of life or death, Tottenham Hotspur, who was more generous in the transfer deal, was obviously more popular with the Brescia management.
However, the Brescia top is not stupid. After receiving and agreeing to Tottenham's transfer offer for Toney, they secretly stabbed Palermo with the news that "Tottenham are interested in bringing in Tony and the price is much higher than Palermo", intending to force Palermo to increase the offer, so that Brescia can get more benefits from this transfer.
Sure enough, after learning that Tottenham had actually intervened in Toney's transfer, Palermo, who had planned to play a protracted battle with Brescia, was dumbfounded and hurriedly raised his bid for Toney. After all, unlike Tottenham, who have George as a crosser, Palermo took a long time to make the decision to bring in Toney. If Tottenham succeeds in intercepting the beard, then Palermo, which has lost its scheduled main center forward, will be greatly affected throughout the season!
Seeing that Palermo raised the offer for Toney, Paratici smiled coldly, and after a phone call, he directly raised the transfer fee to 6.5 million euros - it is rare to encounter a chance to smash people with money, and the transfer budget set by the boss for himself still has a lot left, Paratici, who has just changed careers, naturally wants to have a good time in Palermo.
Of course, although the Brescia hierarchy did have the idea of letting Tottenham and Palermo compete for Toney's price increase in order to profit from it, they did not dare to raise the price too high. After all, with Toney's performance in Serie A in the past two seasons and the current market in the European transfer market, his worth cannot exceed 7 million euros at most. Therefore, if the Brescia side is too greedy, the final result is likely to be a bamboo basket.
As a result, after Tottenham and Palermo raised the transfer offer above 6 million euros, the self-aware Brescia management immediately agreed to both offers, leaving Toni himself to decide where he wants to go for the new season.
"Okay, I see, I'll make a decision as soon as possible. After receiving the notice from Brescia, Luca Toney felt that this must be another test from heaven.
For the twenty-six-year-old Toney, his playing career has been quite bumpy. From his debut in Modena in 1994 to the present, Toney has changed clubs in his first seven seasons with a total of six clubs, neither showing much fame nor much appreciation, and can be said to be an out-and-out football vagabond.
It wasn't until the 01-02 season that Toni, who transferred from Vicenza to Brescia, was guided and promoted by Robert Baggio, and his skills and quotient improved a lot, and he ushered in the first peak of his football career - scoring 13 goals in 28 appearances in Serie A. Although such data cannot be compared with Trezeguet, Vieri, Crespo and other top scorers in Serie A, but for Toni, who only appeared on the Serie A stage for the first time at the age of 23 and is also positioned to cover for Baggio, this result is gratifying enough, and it is enough for him to gain a firm foothold in the small club of Brescia.
However, the good times did not last long, and in the following season, injuries found Tony, who was full of ambition and ready to show his talents. A serious knee injury has caused the senior striker to experience a significant decline in playing time and goals this past season, scoring just two goals in 16 league appearances. Such a dismal palmares, and his age of 26, made Brescia FC not optimistic about Toney's future and put him on the shelf.
Now, after receiving a call from Brescia, Toney knows he has to choose between Tottenham Hotspur and Palermo. Although Toney could choose to stay with the team, he also knew in his heart that if he did decide to do so, it would not be good for him or the club's hierarchy.
But which side should I choose? Thinking so, Tony, who couldn't make a decision for a while, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"What's the matter, my dear?" asked Marta Cechito, seeing her husband sitting on the couch with a worried expression. Marta is very concerned about her husband's affairs. Otherwise, she would not have been able to delay her modeling career for the sake of Tony's career development.
"That's right, Marta. Looking at his gentle and lovely wife beside him, Tony only hesitated for a moment, and then revealed the distress in his heart, "Due to my poor performance last season, Brescia no longer wants me to stay in the team, but intends to sell me elsewhere." Now I have two options here, one is Palermo in the second division, they promised me the position of the main centre-forward, but also promised that if I have a better place to go in the future, they will never put any obstacles in the way of transfer, and the other is Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, which is more famous and has a wider stage, and offers me a much better salary than Palermo, but they will not promise to give me consistent playing time. That's why I'm a little hesitant to say yes to an invitation. After all, it's likely to be a big deal about the course of my career, and I can't afford to take it seriously. ”
"Luka, seriously, I don't think there's anything to think about. After listening to her husband's account, Marta pursed her lips and said her opinion bluntly, "No matter how you look at it, playing at Tottenham Hotspur is more developed than going to Palermo." After all, the former, no matter how bad the results are, is still a Premier League club. And Palermo, on the other hand, is just a Serie B club. Even if you can't find a chance to perform at Tottenham, you can find a home in the top flight, but if you can't find form in Palermo, it's hard to get back into the top flight. ”
"Marta, you have a point...... However, I was skeptical that I would be able to adapt to the English style of football. Although his wife's words are very reasonable, and there are many Italian players who have gone to the Premier League and achieved success, such as Zola, Lavanelli and Di Canio, Toni is still a little worried, "You know, there are high school strikers like me almost everywhere in England, and the style of play in the Premier League is very different from that of Italy. If I go to Tottenham, if the environment or the tactical style of play doesn't suit me, then I'm going to waste another year?"
"Luka, you big idiot!" Seeing that her husband was actually worried about this kind of problem, Marta only felt both angry and funny, and stretched out her right index finger and tapped her husband's forehead fiercely, "Although it is true that joining Tottenham Hotspur is such a risk, but if you think about it carefully, can you guarantee that you will be able to adapt to the tactical play there when you go to Palermo?"
Marta's remarks made Tony mouth stunned, and the latter, who figured out the joint, immediately called Brescia and said that he was willing to discuss personal treatment with the Tottenham Hotspur representative. As for Palermo, Tony had no choice but to say sorry to them. After all, compared to Tottenham Hotspur, Palermo is much worse than Tottenham in all other aspects, except for the promise of a main position.
"Mr. Paratici, now you can go and talk to Luca (Tony) about his personal treatment. After receiving Tony's reply, Brescia president Corioni was also in a good mood. Compared to the stingy Palermo, he also hopes that Toney will favour Tottenham with a higher price.
In this way, with Toney accepting a work contract with an annual salary of half a million US dollars offered by Paratici, Tottenham successfully signed the best Italian strong center forward since Vieri for 6.5 million euros!
