Chapter Seventy-Six: The Transfer War Begins
With the end of the season, the door to the player trade transfer market has opened again, but this year, due to the impact of match-fixing, people's attention has not yet paid attention to this aspect. www.biquge.info In this case, Prato quietly started the work of renewing the player's contract.
Generally, when the team is promoted, the main players in the team will be renewed, because the salary of the original lower league is obviously not suitable, and the players who have not been replaced by the team will also understand in their hearts that the team thinks that their ability is not worthy of the senior league, and most of the teams will not have his place in the team next season. In this case, most of these players will also consciously look for their next home.
And the Prato team is not only to complete the contract change for the player, the team is also facing the problem of how to keep the team these young potential players, if it is not for the 95 Boseman Act before the announcement, the small team is still very binding on young players, and Prato next season is also a team that can participate in European competitions, these players have long been like bestsellers on the supermarket shelves, swept away. In particular, Vieri and Inzaghi, the star-studded "Prato Twins" of the season, have already shown interest in them from many teams. Inzaghi's parent club Piacenza offered to buy back half of Inzaghi's ownership for £800,000 after relegation this season, but Chen Lin refused without hesitation, and Chen Lin even offered £1 million in return. In Chen Lin's view, with Inzaghi's performance in the Italian Cup this season, how can he be worth more than three million at this time, Piacenza only gave a mere 800,000 pounds, which is too underestimated for Prato.
In fact, Piacenza was unaware of this, having already regretted selling half of Inzaghi's ownership to Prato last season, knowing that Inzaghi was the Silver Boot winner of the Coppa Italia. Leaving this excellent striker trained by his own youth team not to use, but trusting the aging Padero, as a result, the team was relegated to the second division again after a season in Serie A, and Piacenza's transfer director may regret it at this time.
The club's already tight finances are undoubtedly even tighter after returning to the second division, and it is not bad to be able to quote a price of 800,000 pounds. But in fact, when the two clubs each hold half ownership of the player, the player's own will plays a big role in the middle, and now Prato and Piacenza are both second division clubs, although Piacenza is Inzaghi's parent club, but Prato has Rossi, Inzaghi's life idol, the most important thing is that Prato can participate in European competition next season, so Inzaghi's choice is self-evident, Prato spent 1.1 million pounds to get Inzaghi's full ownership.
In this process, Prato offered him an annual salary of up to 100,000 pounds in order to keep Inzaghi, and Vieri, who was on a par with Inzaghi, naturally could not be disadvantaged, and the annual salary also rose to 100,000 pounds, and other Prato players, especially the main players, the club has significantly increased their salaries. Player wages and bonuses are expected to reach £1.8 million for the new season, and that's even after Dunga's annual salary has increased by just 10 per cent.
However, as long as this group of players can be kept, everything is worth it, in Chen Lin's opinion, with the progress rate of these players, playing together for another two or three years, they will definitely be able to stir up a storm in Serie A, even if he comes back with one of the three major European cups, he will not be surprised.
However, before the renewal of the Prato club was completed, someone had already begun to pry his corner.
Juventus FC, which was previously involved in the match-fixing scandal, actually made a transfer offer to Prato, intending to bring in Prato's main left wingback Pesoto. You know, Juventus President Giraeudo and General Manager Mogicai both left, and the head coach Trapattoni also chose to leave because he did not bring any trophies to Juventus this season, but the normal operation of Juventus seems to have not been delayed at all, they quickly found the "Silver Fox" Lippi from Napoli as the new head coach, and began a new round of reinforcement of the squad process, before they have introduced the Italian national team's main central defender Ziro who won the UEFA Cup with Maradona. Ferrara, this time they reached out to Pesotho again. This can't help but make Chen Lin sigh that with the heritage of a big club like Juventus, Rome is by no means built in a day, nor can it be destroyed in a day.
Lippi's new season tactics based on Juventus' current squad will be a small diamond-shaped position in the midfield, so the requirements for the two full-backs are very high. At right-back, there is already a maturing Torricelli, who has been recruited by Sacchi for the Italian national team at the upcoming World Cup in the United States. Originally, on the left-back, Juventus also had Andre. Fortunato, a rookie, known as Cabrini's successor, Fortunato, has performed well in Juventus this season, Juve has been biting the powerful AC Milan this season, and finally lost by only 2 points, which is inseparable from Fortunato's excellent performance, Juve's original main left-back Chiara was completely squeezed to the bench by him.
However, in May this year, during a physical examination, Fortunato was found to have leukemia and was forced to say goodbye to the green field. Only the aging Chiara is left in the Juventus squad to take the left-back position, but Lippi is not happy with the long-lost Chiara and wants the team to bring in a strong left-back. For this reason, Betga, who is temporarily in charge, remembers Pesoto, who was abandoned by them last year.
Over the past year, Prato's young players have grown rapidly, but apart from Dunga and future superstars such as Toldo, Vieri and Inzaghi, Pexoto is firmly in the top five of the Prato squad. Although Pesoto didn't say anything on the surface about being abandoned by Juventus at the last minute last summer, it can be seen from his performance in training and matches this season that he is holding back his energy. He has been training very hard, and he has become the object of admiration of a group of young players in Prato, almost every morning the first person to go to the training ground and the last person to leave the training ground every evening is him, crazy training has brought him a lot of progress, Prato's original sharp left attack, this season has become a big killer, and Pesoto has also become the assist king of the League C with 17 assists. What's more, Pexoto's continued good performances in the Coppa Italia have proved that he can not only excel in the lower leagues, but also deal with strong first-division teams, which has made many teams excited.
To this end, Juventus directly quoted 3 billion lira (about 1.5 million pounds), which is almost double the price of 800,000 pounds opened by Chen Lin last year. Last year Pexoto was just a rising star who had just proven himself in the fourth tier, with the occasional shining star against Inter Milan, but this year he is already a mature player who helped the team win the C Cup and runners-up in the Coppa Italia, and has been impressive in several games against Serie A sides.
However, Chen Lin still did not hesitate to reject Juventus's offer, not that he wanted to deliberately keep Pesotho, he had already agreed to Pexoto last summer and come and go freely. Just last year, Juventus spent 1.5 million pounds to bring in Fortunato, and Pesoto was only one line behind Fortunato at that time, and this year, through his unremitting efforts, even if Fortunato is still alive, Pesoto will not be able to compare. Not to mention how much the player's value has inflation after a year, at least the training fee for more than a year, Putoka has to recover it. Chen Lin directly replied to Juventus a price......
