Adriano's buyout plan did not go very smoothly.

When Inter Milan's transfer personnel approached Parma, they were asked by Parma to buy out Adriano at 13 million euros - this is also half of Adriano's value when he went to Parma.

"Tell them it's impossible, either accept a transfer of 15 million or wait for the envelope." Dick told Inter Milan's transfer director Blanca.

Blanca is not as powerful as he was now, he is now just a member of the upper echelons of Inter Milan's transfer department, although his status is not low, but he does not have so much power.

In fact, it was only during the Facchetti era that Blanca made a couple of beautiful transfers to gain Moratti's trust, and historically, his operation in the summer of 2009 propelled his popularity to the peak.

Hearing Dick say this, Blanca nodded, one thing that all the staff of the transfer department now know is that Dick now holds all the power of Inter Milan's transfer, he is what he says, and as a coach, since even he is not in a hurry, the transfer department naturally does not need to be in a hurry.

In the past, a big waste of Inter Milan's resources was that the coach was selected, but they were not the ones who bought the people, for example, Cooper asked Nesta, but it turned out to be Cannavaro, Mourinho wanted Lampard, and the result was Muntari...... It's not that there is anything wrong with their vision, but after passing a few links, the transfer will naturally not be able to be used flexibly, and now, Dick has to hold all the power, and Moratti has given him such power, so he will naturally be much more flexible.

Blanca went to reply to Parma, Dick is really not in a hurry, he knows that Parma can't afford it, and now Parma's finances are starting to have problems, they will definitely not be able to do Inter Milan on the envelope, even if Dickmin tells them that we will only pay fifteen million, they don't dare to pay more than this amount, because they may not be able to afford this money, and even if they can, they don't dare to pay it, because Adriano himself has only one year left on his contract, Even if you get full ownership, you can only have the original contract, and if you want to extend it, you have to continue to negotiate, if Adriano doesn't renew the contract, then they can only watch Adriano leave after a year......

Inter Milan, on the other hand, do not have such a problem, and they have the confidence to keep Adriano.

Dick naturally knew that Parma would back down, and they couldn't wait for the envelope to be delivered - Dick said that it was fifteen million, and if it was only 10 million when the envelope was delivered, I am afraid that Parma would vomit blood, and now the initiative is on Inter Milan's side, not on Parma's side, which is completely different from the situation at the beginning of this year in history.

And Dick didn't mind using other methods to put a little pressure on Parma's side.

"I want Tony, Luca Toney who plays for promoted Palermo." Dick said to the people in Inter's transfer department.

Inter Milan moved quickly, and they quickly found Tony's information - from the point of view of the resume, this Tony's results are not very good, he is now twenty-seven years old, but until the age of twenty-three he played in the lower Serie A league, 00-01 season in Vicenza was okay, nine goals in 31 games, which allowed him to join Brescia with Baggio, and he performed well in his first season in Brescia, thirteen league goals are quite good, However, he hit a bottleneck next season, scoring only two goals in a whole season, which made him join the Serie B team Palermo for six million last summer, and Tony performed quite well in Serie B last season, scoring 30 goals in 45 games in Serie B, which is a top goal rate, but Dick will suddenly ask for him, which still makes the members of Inter Milan's transfer department a little uncomfortable......

"I just want him, understand? I remember when he signed his contract with Palermo last season, there was a release clause...... When I touch him, I think he will be impressed. ”

Dick's instructions were done very decisively, and now that the season has just ended, it can be said that it is the best time to dig Tony, because at this time, Palermo is unlikely to immediately change Tony's contract, as for why Dick knew that Tony's contract had a release clause, it was because when Dick played CM0304 in his previous life, he knew that Tony had a release clause......

However, his release fee in the game is only more than 4 million euros, and now Dick already knows that Tony went to Palermo last season for 6 million euros, and Palermo is certainly not stupid enough to sign a release fee lower than the transfer price......

Soon, the news came that Tony's termination fee, no more, no less, was exactly six million.

Dick didn't know how Tony had signed with Palermo at the time, but it seemed much easier to poach Tony.

"Quote, six million, if you don't agree, tell them, we will directly activate the termination clause...... What does Tony think of himself? ”

"He's very excited, but he's worried that he won't be able to play after coming to Inter Milan, he's not young anymore, so naturally he won't be as impulsive as a young person." Blanca shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"Well, sure enough, a few ups and downs will make people calmer." Dick nodded, "Do you have his phone?" I'll give him one. ”

What Tony didn't expect was that someone from Inter Milan had just contacted him the day before, and soon, Dick called him.

"Luca Toney? Hello, I'm Dick. ”

Listening to the English on the other end of the phone, Tony replied in surprise: "Ah...... Hello Mr. Dick, I'm Tony. ”

"Luca, I think our staff has already reached out to you before...... Trust me, I didn't buy you just to strengthen the bench, now my striker bench is enough, Cruise, Martins...... These are good substitutes, what I lack is a player who can play the main team! You're going to have a completely different character from other Inter strikers, so I need a centre-forward like that up front. If you can play like last season, or even better, you're a regular for Inter Milan and nothing else will happen. ”

After hearing this, Tony let go of all his concerns.

This is the benefit of fame, although Dick is notorious, but in recent years, almost all the players he has introduced have been useful, and it has spread throughout Europe, young players want Dick to look at themselves and cultivate themselves, even if it is a player who is no longer young like Tony, and Dick has a good habit that he will directly tell players about your status in the team, generally speaking, there will be no change, this kind of trustworthy fame, also played a great role.

"Mr. Dick, I believe you...... I'm really looking forward to starting another Serie A career at Inter Milan. ”

After getting Toney, the next thing is not too difficult - before Palermo could renew Toney's contract, they ran into Inter Milan's black hand......

"Tony is not for sale for us! We still have to rely on him for relegation! Palermo's president, Zamparini, was annoyed and rejected Inter's offer – but he knew in his heart that Palermo would not be able to keep Toney if he wanted to go......

And Inter Milan also gave him enough face, and the second round offer came quickly, and the cash did not increase, but only added one player - striker Ventola, and their meaning was obvious, Toni we are bound to win.

Zamparini, who was a little helpless, agreed to Inter Milan's offer after listening to the opinion of the fitness assessment team - Palermo's fitness assessment team said that Toney's current fitness and condition are gradually declining, and the history was made by the evaluation team in Palermo in the second year, so Zamparini directly put Tony on the transfer market and fired the head coach Guidolin who opposed this, and now Inter Milan's price has reached Tony's release fee, plus a well-known Ventola, Ventola has a lot of fame, although he only scored four goals in 28 appearances for Siena last season, but he seems to be still very physical, and he is a year younger than Tony, so he still seems to have untapped potential.

Zamparini agreed to Inter's offer, and soon the two sides agreed to exchange players, Ventola signed a three-year contract with Palermo with an annual salary of 1.4 million euros, while Tonei signed a four-year contract with Inter Milan and doubled his salary from 800,000 euros in Palermo to 1.6 million euros.

After confirming the introduction of Tony, Dick smiled with satisfaction.

"Get the news out there and let everybody know we've signed Tony." Dick said to another key member of Inter Milan's leadership, Oriali.

"Such news...... Isn't it a little early? And to be honest, Tony's fame is not very good, and it is useless to spread it. Oriali said with some hesitation.

"Don't be afraid early, it doesn't matter if Tony is famous or not, the key is that we have to tell everyone that we have signed a striker, a centre-forward." Dick said with a smile.

"Is this putting pressure on the Parma side?" Oriali thought for a moment and asked.

"There's a factor, but it's not just that." Dick laughed: "Now with Tony, we've got six strikers...... What would others think? Will Adriano be in a hurry? He's going to put pressure on Parma in a hurry, and with so many strikers, it's only natural that someone will have to go, Cuarón knows it's not in my plans, he'll find a way to find a home, and other ......"

Oriali nodded with some sudden realization, Dick is also famous for his simplicity, playing a single striker in Atletico Madrid, he only has three strikers, and there are only six strikers under Dortmund playing three strikers, and now he comes to Inter Milan, six strikers must be more, not to mention coming to Adriano, everyone knows that Inter Milan will leave now, so in terms of transfers, it will naturally seem to be alive a lot, at least all kinds of teams have to come to test the price, how to master it when the time comes, It's up to Inter.

Soon, on June 6, three days after Dick's arrival, Inter Milan announced their first signing of the summer, bringing in last season's Serie B top scorer Luca Toney for six million euros plus striker Ventola.

After the news came out, many fans thought it was funny - why did Inter Milan introduce a manager like Dick, and the first signing was to buy a Serie B striker? Even if he is the top scorer in Serie B, it is normal for a Serie B striker to perform poorly immediately after arriving in Serie A, not to mention that Toney's performance in Serie A is not very good.

However, for insiders, the news revealed by this deal is enough to make them have other associations......
