The next day, Gao Zheng was surrounded by reporters outside the training ground, and everyone asked him what he thought of the statement in the Channel 5 program.

"Everyone has the right to say their own thing, no matter how stupid it is." Gao Zheng said. "I don't think the normal transfer of players can be linked to any 'voting with feet'. It's just a form of lust. ”

"What do you think of the core statement?"

Gao Zheng smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter if the core is not the core, what matters is the team's results." ”

He didn't directly denounce this statement because it would hurt Icardi, who had left the team, after all, this topic was not provoked by Icardi, and there was a debtor, and he should not be looking for Icardi, but an expert who made a lot of nonsense.

And this kind of question doesn't actually need to be answered by him, wait until the season starts, don't you know by looking at the actual performance?

The media really wanted to make big news, but he was not obligated to play with them.

※※※

With the sale of Icardi, Sampdoria naturally wanted to strengthen the front line.

Di Francisco told Sagramola that he had his eye on young striker Domenique Berardi in the newly promoted Sassuolo squad and hoped that Sagramola would grant his wish.

This gave Sagramora a bit of a headache.

"Eusebio, don't you know that we have a tense relationship with Sassuolo?"

Di Francisco shook his head: "Why?" ”

"Uh...... It has something to do with Gao...... "Sagramora then told Di Francesco about their time in Serie B.

After listening, Di Francisco was also a little crying and laughing, he didn't expect Gao Zheng's original actions to make the relationship between the two clubs so stiff, and what happened more than a year ago also affected his current recruitment plan.

"There's no way around it?"

"I could send a fax to Sassuolo, but I guess there's a good chance I'll be humiliated."

"Forget it...... said Di Francisco, there was no need to lean in and let someone slap him in the face.

But he's still a pity.

He is optimistic about Berardi, a young player who was a regular for Sassuolo in Serie B last season, scoring eleven goals and providing six assists in 37 appearances. One man made seventeen balls.

This kind of performance is very eye-catching, he originally wanted to sign and partner with Gao Zheng.

But now it seems that I am afraid that I have no chance with myself.

Di Francesco had already turned to other striker options, but without his knowledge, things were quietly changing......

Sassuolo, who have just been promoted to Serie A, will need to strengthen their strength as they fight for relegation and ensure they stay in the first division at the end of the season and not fall back into the second division. After all, this is the first time they have been promoted to the first division since the establishment of the team, and the whole team is excited, but also to consider the actual situation.

Sassuolo has his eye on Juventus striker Manolo Gabbiadini.

The young centre-forward from Atalanta has garnered the attention of many teams after a strong performance at the Under-21 European Championships this summer.

However, Juventus have half of the ownership, having spent last season on loan at Bologna, where he made 30 Serie A appearances, scoring six goals and providing two assists, which is a very good performance for a 19-year-old, after all, not everyone is a high-ranking player.

Sassuolo then approached Juventus for the young striker.

As a result, Juventus in turn took a fancy to Sassuolo's Domenic Berardi.

This made Sassuolo a little tangled.

In the end, after some bargaining, Juventus signed the entire ownership of Berardi from Sassuolo for 12 million euros and half of the ownership of Gabbiadini and bought it outright.

Half of Gabbiadini's ownership is discounted by 5.5 million euros, so Berardi's worth is about 17.5 million euros.

The decision to sell Berardi has put Sassuolo FC under pressure from Sassuolo fans, but 12 million euros in cash is indeed a huge amount of money for Sassuolo.

At the same time, although they lost Berardi, they also gained another striker Gabbiadini who was not weaker than him. For Sassuolo's forward line, the impact should not be great.

When Sagramola heard that Berardi had been bought by Juventus, he immediately ran to Di Francisco: "Eusebio, are you still interested in that Berardi?" ”

"Didn't you say you couldn't buy it? I'm not interested......"

"What if you can get it?"

Di Francisco looked at the general manager of the club strangely: "What's wrong?" ”

"Just say if you want him to come!"

"Of course, it would be better if I could."

After getting the answer, Sagramola said the best situation: "Juventus bought Berardi from Sassuolo, and now it's a workable project!" ”

Di Francisco frowned inquiringly: "He can't play at Juventus." ”

"So this is our chance, we can go on loan or we can buy half of the ownership from Juventus, there's a lot of room to work with......"

Di Francesco nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news." ”

Berardi still feels like a dream when he suddenly becomes a Juventus player.

After the team's results, he was very excited, thinking about how to perform well in the league in the new season, aiming and setting an example for his idol Gao Zheng. Of course, he can't really win the league Golden Boot in his first Serie A season like Gao Zheng, but scoring more goals is indeed his wish.

But what frustrated him was that he was sent off for a foul in the final round of last season's Serie B and was also banned for three games. He was unavailable for the first three games of the new season.

Everyone was happy after the promotion, but he was fined by the club after the game.

In fact, Berardi is not the kind of person who is irritable in private, but when it comes to the game, the adrenaline surges, and he can't control his emotions a little.

In Serie B last season, he received a total of five yellow cards and one red card, and was once suspended for one game for accumulating yellow cards. As a striker, that's a bit scary, and he's the most carded player in the team.

Because of discipline problems, he suffered a lot.

Also after the team's success, because he was too excited, he didn't hear the alarm the next morning after celebrating all night, and as a result, he didn't show up when he was supposed to go to Kovilcano to meet with the U19 national team, and therefore missed the flight to Russia for the European Youth Championship.

At that time, the coach of the national youth team, Evani, desperately called him, but because his mobile phone ran out of power and turned off during the all-night celebration, and he didn't bother to charge it at all, the phone was turned off...... In the end, the U19 national youth team had no choice but to bring in Pescara's young striker Di Francesco to replace him......

Coincidentally, the young Pescara striker is the son of Sampdoria manager Di Francesco.

The culmination of the incident was that Berardi was banned for nine months from the national team, and it is said that the final decision was made by Sacchi, and the executive was the head coach of the national youth team, Evani.

This incident casts a shadow over Berardi's career prospects, after all, few young people like to get carried away.

This incident also lowered his opinion in the minds of the Sassuolo club management, who had previously groomed him as a hopeful star, but last season he was given so many cards in the league due to disciplinary issues that the club management gave him a headache.

Unexpectedly, the team has been upgraded, and he has made such a big moth.

If he is unable to control his temper on the pitch and does not change his flouting of discipline, the club believes his future may be very limited.

Berardi also decided to seriously reflect on it.

As a result, it was at this time that the news came that the club was going to sell him to Juventus.

Unlike other young players, Berardi doesn't think it's a good thing, because he knows very well that even if he goes to Juventus, he won't be able to play.

Joining a giant is just a thing that sounds good, and the actual benefit is zero.

What he needs now is a team that can play consistently, not a so-called giant.

He also knows how deep the water of the wealthy is.

But the matter was obviously not at his will.

On the one hand, the club was worried about his discipline problems, and on the other hand, they were not sure if he would be able to perform like that when he went to Serie A, which had performed well in Serie B. And Gabbiadini has at least played in Serie A and proved his ability.

In comparison, as long as Juventus is offering the right price, it is not impossible to sell Berardi.

So, just like that, Berardi found himself a Juventus player.

But he wasn't happy at all, and he was worried about how he was going to get a consistent chance to play next.

It is obviously impossible to achieve this goal at Juventus.

Juventus should send him out on loan.

But everything is strange, and he has to start from scratch.

I've always been in Sassuolo and is most familiar with it, so maybe I can ask my agent to make a proposal to Juventus to see if he can put him back on loan back to Sassuolo.

While planning his future career path in this way, Berardi received a call from his agent, Simone Segdoni.

"Hey, Domenik, what do you think of another team?"

"Are they going to lend me out?" Berardi was not surprised by Juventus' move.

"No, it's not a lease, it's a resale of half of your ownership. Then you'll belong to the team that buys half of your ownership. ”

"Okay...... This kind of operation is also common......" Berardi sighed, "Where are we going?" ”

"Sampdoria!"

Domenique Berardi's eyes widened.
