After discussing the matter of Inter's centre-back, Li Moody first breathed a sigh of relief, and then said the second name on his list: "Alessio Cerci, the Italian winger who played for the team in 2012-14. ”

If the previous Ranocchia was just a little surprising to everyone, then the name Cherch was like a bombshell that was detonated directly in their ears. Born in 1987 in Veletri, near the Italian capital, the player joined Roma's academy at a very young age, but Cherci, who made his first-team debut before the age of 17, did not receive more attention from his parent club, but was loaned to Brescia, Atalanta and other teams to gain experience, and finally joined Fiorentina in the summer of 2010. It's a pity that in the two seasons he played for the Purple Lily, he still didn't get enough opportunities to perform, and he didn't make more than 20 appearances per year. However, the quality he showed in a limited time did not impress Ventura, and the Torino club bought him for a whopping 6.75 million euros, and the signing became one of the most successful transactions for the Red Bulls in the last decade.

In his two seasons with Torino, Cerci made 72 appearances in Serie A, scoring 21 goals and providing 19 assists, making him the league's assist leader. His value also rose from 6.5 million euros to 18 million euros in two years, and he was one of the hottest strikers in the entire European football scene at that time. Extremely good performances naturally attracted poaching from other strong teams, and in the end, Atletico Madrid spent a fixed fee of 15 million plus a floating bonus of 3 million to win the Italian star at that time. Unfortunately, Cerci has suffered a serious discomfort in Spain, and so far in his two-and-a-half-season at Atletico, he has only made nine appearances for the team, scoring one goal and providing an assist.

After joining AC Milan on loan in the winter of last season, he played 44 games for the Rossoneri in a year and a half, but only scored five goals and provided three assists, a result that naturally did not make Berlusconi willing to pay for it, and as a result, Cerci had to return to Spain this summer. Bologna were about to try their luck with him, but a serious knee injury just before the start of the season put the transfer stuck in the final medical check-up. Chelch then went into a four-month period of recuperation and has not been seen on the field since.

Although he can be called a star who has played well in the team, the club chose the highest bidder from many buyers in order to make a lot of money, which indirectly hurt Cerci's later career. Therefore, the senior management of the Torino club has an attitude of avoiding this player as much as possible, how could they have thought that today he would become the person that the team manager wants to introduce, what a trick of fate!

Among the two people opposite Li Mudi. Valentino Cairo is a bit better, although he knows some insiders, but he has not yet entered the club at that time, so he does not have much to do with the player himself. However, Pantario Longo is different, although Cerci's transfer to Atletico Madrid was handled by the then football director Page, but as the director in charge of personnel, he has also been involved in the whole process by the side, who knows if the miserable Cerci will have any opinions on Longo with an unbalanced mentality, so he is against the goal of the head coach: "I remember that Alessio is still recovering from his injury, and the previous injury was so serious, will it seriously affect his competitive level, Would it be useful for such a player to come? ”

"His injury was actually healed at the beginning of the month, but Atletico did not let him show up for reasons of caution, and even made an announcement." With the FM system in hand, Li Mudi naturally probed this kind of trivial matter with ease, and then he continued to ask Director An. The various benefits of bringing in Cherci: "The news that came out this morning that Bologna once again expressed their willingness to sign Cherci on loan in the winter window and are willing to reach a loan-to-buy agreement shows that the player's fitness is no longer an issue. And after we returned to Iturbe, we also need to have a qualified substitute in the winger position, after all, the remaining three Falke, Rajjdzic and Jesse are more prone to injury, even if Bruno Perez can temporarily take the right winger position, there is still a need for full-time players to prevent accidents. Cerci can play in all three positions up front and is the best value player we can afford to take. ”

This reason immediately convinced Longo that Ranocchia's immediate value was five million, and even if Inter might be kind enough not to raise the price, it would not be cheaper than Torino. In other words, once this deal is successful, the remaining funds may be less than a million, which is not enough to buy a Celestial Dynasty player, and it seems that it can only rely on loan players to make up for other positions.

And many giants on the market will loan out potential young teams to accumulate experience, but that is to give enough playing time, the Torino team is currently unable to meet the requirements of the other party, after all, their mature players do not need to help others train newcomers, this has to be a brainless person to do something! And some veterans who don't pursue playing time are no longer able to cope with the level of Serie A in terms of ability, and renting is also a pension, and spending money in vain can't do the right thing. In this comparison, Cherci, who is not yet 30 years old and has reached the peak of his career in Turin, is indeed the ideal target, at least for now, there seems to be no better option among the wingers who can look at the Red Bulls.

As for the question of whether he can win the competition against Bologna and whether the player himself agrees to be a substitute, when Li Mudi said that the opposing coach Donadoni has formed a fixed frontcourt configuration and that Cerci will join Bologna as a substitute like returning to his old club, Pantario Longo no longer spoke out against it. However, this proposal still needs to be agreed by the chairman before proceeding to the next step, and before that, Valentino Cairo and the scouting team need to come up with more detailed information to prove that the player's injury, state and willingness to join are no problem, but with Li Mudi's help, those documents can be completed in less than half a day.

It's not that the director has become generous and no longer cares about whether the player will have a bad attitude towards him, but if he wants to succeed in the loan, he must obtain his consent in advance, and if Cerci agrees, it means that he has nothing in mind, and if he doesn't agree, he naturally doesn't need Longo to stop him.

"No, I remember that there are still more than three million transfer fees left that can be used in the summer, so shouldn't that money also be transferred for the winter window?" After nominating two players, Li Mudi has been thinking about which person on the list is enough to bring in the remaining funds, but the funds are indeed too tight, and it is difficult to squeeze out some more, and it seems that the remaining reinforcements still have to be made on loan. "Alas! If only I could save some in the summer. Just as this exclamation appeared in his mind, he suddenly thought of something that he had been ignoring before, and it seemed that there was still unused money at that time, so he hurriedly asked.

After being reminded by the head coach of the team, Longo, who has taken over the transfer affairs since Page left, suddenly remembered, and after looking slightly embarrassed, responded: "Indeed, there was 3.1 million left at that time, which is the sum after adding the second batch of fees that Monaco will pay for Glick's transfer." ”

'Actually, we have some possible money left behind, and Joseph Martinez's transfer fee should also be factored in, and Atalanta United, who had previously loaned him, have asked the club about the buyout, and it seems that they are quite happy with the player's performance. According to the contract, the cost of the deal will be 4.5 million. We can also ask the club Novara, who have loaned centre-back Giosha, to see if they are willing to trigger a $500,000 buyout fee in the winter window. Valentino Caiiro interjected at this point to help the other two fill in the gaps.

"Yes, this is a feasible way, if we can figure out the specific number of funds that can be used as soon as possible, we can design the lineup adjustment plan more perfectly, and the province will be dragged down by others." After hearing this, Li Mudi was a little impatient, and he couldn't wait to communicate with the team that had the right to buy out the player immediately, so as to know how much money he could get.

At this point, the recruitment process can only be completed first, Valentino and Longo will check the funding issues, and the manager can make his own preparations. Teosa's 500,000 is almost negligible, as long as it is planned with 9.1 million (Joseph Martinez was not bought out) and 13.6 million as the total transfer fee.

In the afternoon of the same day, when Li Mudi was busy in his apartment with the player value provided by the FM system, how to make the most of the funds in his hand, the club's prince called: "Li, I have bad news for you, Bruno Pérez's agent Bernardo Silva has just approached my head, and they have asked the club to agree to let the Brazilian transfer to Roma. I just got the news that Florenzi, who suffered a muscle strain in the last game, is not very objective after his re-examination, and may have to rest for about a month and a half, and there is no reliable person available for Roma's right wing-back. According to credible sources, Spalletti has submitted a request to the club to purchase Perez and complete the deal as soon as the price is acceptable. I guess I won't be able to keep people this time, after all, Rome is much stronger than us now in terms of strength, historical status and financial resources, but if you can open your mouth to keep it, I think my father may give you a face......"

"No, the twisted melon is not sweet, I forcibly stopped it once in the summer, and reluctantly appeased them with various conditions. This time, the Roman side is a direct buyout, and the bid is not low, and if it continues, it will make me break my promise. Li Mudi was naturally very unwilling to hear this bad news, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and if the other party didn't sell it at a high price, the players and the senior management of his club would be offended, and it was really unworthy.

But dare to dig into the foot of my Li's wall, don't think about it easily if you don't bleed once, thinking of this, the Turin coach replied on the phone: "You can start negotiations, but if it is less than 25 million, you will directly refuse, and now it is the other party who is anxious, and our patience can be very sufficient." "At present, the estimated value of Bruno Perez in Germany's "Transfer Market" is 15 million euros, and Li Mudi has only increased the price by 60%, and his conscience is already very good, otherwise with the possibility of a month-long right-back crisis in the Roma team after the winter break, black stores like Porto and Lyon will not double the players for sale, even if their chairman has a brain in water.

Putting aside this unexpected transfer first, Li Mudi designed two sets of reinforcement lists according to the original two possibilities, and saw that it was still early, so he put all his energy into the travel plan that could be completed in a few days. This state happened to be seen by the two cleaning staff who came to the apartment in the evening to clean up, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the other party was too diligent, and they had been busy working on vacation. If his thoughts were known to his relatives or good friends who were familiar with the person inside, he would definitely cause laughter, and the lazy man who could lie down and never sit down was still diligent, this joke should not be too absurd, brother! But who knew that this incident would spread to the Internet later, making the name of "dedicated Celestial Empire Boss" a little popular, which is really funny.

Capitalism really has a saying: "Anything that can be related to money is afraid that Westerners will be serious." Shortly after breakfast the next day, Pantario Longo's phone call came, and the request for the introduction of Ranocchia and Cerci had been approved by Mr. President, and the marketing department would immediately start to work on the specific operation, and the coach would just have to wait for the final result while giving advice. As for Joseph Martinez being bought out, Atalanta United does have this intention, but I want to talk about it again in terms of fees, but it is estimated that the minimum can still receive 4 million euros, and the club's senior management made an exception to allow this fund to be used now, so the total transfer fee left for Li Mudi to use in the winter window has reached about 13 million, which is definitely an unexpected gift.

The Torino coach immediately convened everyone again for a second exchange meeting in the afternoon, preparing to operate well in the month-long transfer window that opened on time on New Year's Day, so that other teams could open their eyes in the second half of the league.
