"You seem to be in a good mood lately, and the newspapers here here often mention your name." Charlotte said to Dick as she played with a stack of chips.

Dick, who was sitting at the other end of the table and was pondering a handful of cards, raised his head when he heard the news, then shrugged his shoulders and smiled proudly: "No more...... In fact, it still depends on what kind of achievements can be achieved in the following season. ”

"Really? But you didn't seem to have had a lot of luck today. Charlotte proudly turned over the cards in front of her: "I'm a flush." ”

Dick threw the cards out of his hand in frustration, he was a three-of-a-kind, and he wanted to slowly lure Charlotte to increase his chips, but he took the bait instead......

"I sometimes think, why don't you come to Monaco to coach? If that's the case, you can come to the casino every day to relax. Charlotte said with a smile as she collected her chips.

"How can there be such a good thing, I was very busy when I was in charge of the team, you should know, I can come to relax during the holidays, in fact, if I hadn't been waiting for something recently, I wouldn't have time to come to Monte Carlo." Dick said after shrugging his shoulders.

He is indeed waiting for time, now that the European Championship is over, it is not long before the team is concentrated, now Inter Milan's personnel introduction has almost been completed, and the first-team squad for next season has been basically determined, and the rest is to grind time......

The goalkeeper has been confirmed, Toldo, Cesar and the young Codaz, in the backline, Zanetti and Maggio at right-back, Materazzi, Córdoba, Cannavaro in central defenders, and Andreoli from the youth team, there is now only one Pasquale at left-back, but Dick is also ready.

In midfield, there are Zanetti, Mascherano and Farinos in the back, and Stankovic, Perrotta, and Karagunis in charge of attacking, Recoba chose to stay after weighing it for a long time, and Dick intends to transform him into a midfielder, and if the transformation does not go well, Pandev can also show his strength in this position.

Up front, Cuarón is gone, and the current strikers are Toney, Vieri, Adriano, Martins and Cruise, and now it seems to be a little less in terms of personnel, but for Dick, these people are enough.

In fact, there are a lot of main players in the backline, and there are a few substitutes, but there is not no one available in the youth team, Potenza and Della Fiore can be topped, and in the midfield, the main force is not lacking now, and the substitute Dick is not in a hurry.

Now the salaries of these people add up to a big difference compared with last year, and those who want to be cleared out have basically been cleared out, leaving only one Koko who is still relying on it, his annual salary is 2.6 million, and the contract is until 07 years, most of them will be smashed in their hands.

Dick didn't have a good way to do this, what if people didn't leave? can only be thrown in the reserve team to rot, it's not that Dick has any prejudice against Koko, but the former popular full-back is now a mess, he doesn't train well, he doesn't play seriously, and now even reporters don't want to report his scandals, and he doesn't know how to forge ahead, he once went to Manchester City for a trial in history, but because he still had a cigarette in his mouth when he went to the training ground, he scared the Premier League players who were notoriously unprofessional......

So Dick can only choose to forget him, anyway, in history, he waited until the summer of 2007 after the contract expired to leave Inter Milan, and then chose to retire.

The other players are almost gone, although they only gave Inter Milan less than 20 million euros in cash, but in terms of salary, they saved 40 million for Inter Milan in a year, which also made the members of Inter Milan's financial department smile, although it seems that the strength of the team has dropped a lot, but Dick used to use this kind of lineup to fight for the championship, as long as he performs well in the future, this worry will become dissipated.

Now the highest salary in the Inter Milan team is Toldo, Vieri and Cannavaro three local players, their salaries are around five million euros, followed by a large number of players with a salary of between one million and three million, including three captain-level Zanetti, Córdoba, Materazzi, and the new signing Stankovic, Adriano and others are within this range, in general, Inter Milan's salary expenditure is less than last season's one-fifth, Dick still has 13 million euros in transfer fees at his disposal, and when the pre-season training camp begins, Dick will fine-tune it to a certain extent according to the lack of the squad.

And what Dick is waiting for now is about Vieri's transfer, the current striker is still a little more for him, although Vieri's performance in the European Cup is not very good, but the previous performance and fame are there, and there is naturally no shortage of giants.

The first thing that became interested was naturally Real Madrid, who were addicted to collecting superstar strikers - they quickly asked Inter Milan whether Vieri was for sale, but Inter Milan answered a little vaguely, they did not directly say whether Vieri would sell or not, but directly asked Real Madrid, when will the unpaid fee for Ronaldo's transfer be paid......

At the same time, there are also Juventus and AC Milan who are pursuing Vieri, but the attitude of these two teams is more ambiguous, Juventus wants Vieri, but he is a little uncertain about his state, plus Moggi was not optimistic about Vieri before, and at that time he sold Vieri to Atletico Madrid because he felt that Vieri's performance in important games was not good, and now if he buys it back, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

AC Milan does not have much money for transfers, and now Berlusconi has begun to become stingy, so far this season, they have only brought in Atletico Madrid's Dutch central defender Stam and Lyon's French midfielder Dorasu on free transfers, but instead sold Laursen to Aston Villa, and have not invested a single euro in the transfer market, whether they have the financial resources to bring in Vieri is still a question......

In this case, Florentino called Dick and asked him if Vieri wanted to sell it.

"Sell, why don't you sell." Dick said cheerfully: "But our president, Mr. Chairman, is a little ignorant of Real Madrid's attitude...... Because of Ronaldo's transfer at that time, our chairman had some psychological obstacles to making a deal with your club. ”

Florentino was a little silent - the installment after Ronaldo's transfer has not been paid, and it is impossible for Moratti to go to court to recover Ronaldo's transfer fee, and now Dick said so......

"But Mr. Perez, I owe you a favor."

Dick's words changed, of course, he was talking about when he stepped down from the position of manager of Atletico Madrid, Florentino helped him clean his body, although Florentino actually helped him with the purpose of hitting Atletico Madrid, but in any case, Dick still owed Florentino a favor.

"Of course I know that Bobo is not young now, so tell me how much you want to pay for him, as long as it is okay, I will agree with Real Madrid's offer to him, but in the future, if Inter Milan wants to buy Real Madrid players, I also hope you can be happy." Dick said with a smile.

"No problem." Florentino immediately replied that he also knew Dick better, knew that this man did not like to go around in circles, and with his character, he was used to getting all the transfers done before the team was concentrated, and now it is estimated that he was also a little impatient to wait......

Florentino is still continuing his superstar policy, there is no doubt that Vieri is also a very good choice, originally he had another option is Owen, but Owen's characteristics and Ronaldo have some overlap This is not unclear to him, Vieri is a very good choice, he and Ronaldo are not without cooperation, they worked well together at Inter Milan.

"Five million euros?" Florentino asked tentatively.

"You're not kidding." Dick said unhappily that although he said that he could let Vieri go even if he didn't need money, how to say this was also related to the face of a wealthy family......

Florentino also knows that his price is too outrageous, but Real Madrid really doesn't have much money this season, otherwise they wouldn't have dragged Ronaldo's transfer fee all the time, and they only paid 7 million pounds for Owen this season, which is 12 million euros, and spending too much money on Vieri is not in line with their current situation......

'Well, I know Real Madrid is not in a very good situation at the moment, I can only have so much cash, but you have to add someone to me, a young player.' Dick said with a sigh.

Compared with Juventus and AC Milan, Dick is more willing to sell Vieri to Real Madrid, the reason is very simple, Juventus and AC Milan are both direct competitors of Inter Milan in Serie A, although Vieri's state has begun to decline, but Dick does not want to increase the strength of the opponent, and another point is that Dick is also a little pitiful Vieri can not win the championship, Real Madrid may have a chance to win the championship next, and in the environment of La Liga, it is also suitable for Vieri, whose physical fitness has declined relatively quickly, He could have played a little smarter in La Liga.

"What player?" Florentino has already started to use his brain - Cambiaso? Solari? This can all be let out......

As a result, Dick said a name that he was not familiar with: "I want Abellia...... Well, now in Real Madrid's B team, he's an okay left-back, and I'm short of people in the Inter backline. ”

Hearing that it was a member of the B team, Florentino didn't care, let alone a left-back - Carlos is still in good shape, and it's useless to stay in Real Madrid, give Dick to Dick.

"Deal!" Florentino said happily that now that the two sides have reached an agreement, the next thing is to see what Vieri's attitude is.

For this, it is not bad, although Vieri prefers to go to Juventus or AC Milan, but the attraction of Real Madrid is also very large, now is not a few years ago, Italian players do not want to go abroad, and Vieri has not played in La Liga, and is also very familiar with the city of Madrid, after hesitating for a few days, he signed his name on a new contract.

Dick breathed a sigh of relief, although Vieri only sold for five million euros, but you must know that his salary was as high as five million euros a year! He has two years left on his contract, how much can that add up? That's more than 20 million, and players over 30 years old are not easy to sell for a high price, how much is Figo's transfer fee to Inter Milan?
