Since Torino's registration list for this season's Serie A is full (because there are no academy players in the team, there can only be 21 players over the age of 21 in the squad), if you want to bring in senior players who are not from your own academy, you have to make room for them, and now it is Carlo and Iturbe who are sure to leave, just to make places for Ranocchia (Perugia, Arezzo Academy) and Cerci (Roma, Brescia Academy). Before there are no other senior players leaving the team, Li Mudi has no way to bring in new signings over the age of 21, whether it is buying or loaning, so he has put the idea on the various little demons.

Before taking over the reins of Torino, Li Mudi and Valentino Cairo had agreed on a policy of focusing on the development of the club's own youth team, but in the face of an already bloated youth team, the new manager had no means to do so, and could only wait for a thorough purge before starting to implement the operation. Don't look at the results of the U20 and U18 in the past two or three years, and have won the national league championship, but through the scouting tools, you can find that there are really not many young players with great potential in the team. Since the summer, Valentino has put at least half of his energy into cleaning up the hundreds of young players in the academy, and after five months of hard work, he has sent away 32 people for free under the principle of not paying additional termination fees, but there are still more than 70 names behind the number on the list given to him by the first team manager. The fate has not yet succeeded, and the comrades still need to work hard.

However, with the scouting tool, which is used to find genius prodigies, will disappear completely in six months, Li Mudi has to cast a wide net at this time period, if he misses the moment when he has funds in hand and is still in the transfer period, he tries to buy some high-potential demons, and then wants to snatch people from under the noses of those giants in the future, it will be difficult to do so. Most of the players contacted this time are young people under the age of 20 who have not yet proven themselves in the mainstream league, and the Torino team is now following the example of several other famous black shops and buying these young players to train them for a few years to fully improve their strength. In this way, even if the giant team is finally approached to poach the corner, it can also earn a high fee, and at the same time, it can also make a name for the team's academy, so as to attract more potential teenagers to join in the future, thus forming a virtuous circle.

Li Moody, Pantario Longo, Valentino Cairo and the latter two deputies gathered in the conference room for the second day in a row to begin working on the roster changes for the winter transfer window. The deputy head of marketing first informed the current situation of several things that were booked yesterday: contacts have been made with the respective agents of Brazilian centre-back Carlo and Paraguayan winger Iturbe, as well as with Atletico Greeks and AS Roma, and the termination of the loan has also been perfectly agreed, and on January 1, the relationship between the two players will be transferred back to their original teams, and there will be no further connection with Torino. Since they are on leave, they will not return to Turin to say goodbye, and will report directly after the holidays stipulated by the two teams, which means that they have no relationship with the Torino club now, except that the loan contract is still valid.

In addition, Atalanta United had already faxed a buyout offer for Venezuelan striker Joseph Martinez in the morning, with a price of 3.4 million euros, which is still a certain gap from the mandatory buyout fee of 4.5 million originally set. Whether this price is acceptable or not still needs to be replied to as soon as possible after the discussion of the "Big Three" of the club's transfer affairs.

Since the player is no longer in the manager's plan, it is best to be able to sell it directly, but for the transfer fee, Valentino Cairo believes that the 4 million agreed by everyone yesterday is still a bottom line, after all, Martinez performed well in the second half of last season, scoring 12 goals in 15 appearances, leading the team to the semifinals (the schedule of the league is different from Europe, the season is not spanning years, and the rules of the four major North American leagues set the playoffs, The regular season starts in March and ends in late November or early December for the Finals), so Atlanta United still needs the fast forward, and the chances of a deal on $4 million should be high. Negotiations on this matter will be personally handled by Superintendent Longo, and will be completed before New Year's Day.

The second to speak was the assistant director, last night, Longo contacted the agents of the two targets through the connections in the circle, for the invitation of the Torino team, neither of them expressed their willingness to refuse at the first time, but said that they would have to go back to talk with the player himself before giving a preliminary answer, and he should be able to get a reply in the next two days. However, judging from their respective teams' circumstances, leaving the original team in winter and moving to a new environment is a possible path to usher in a new life, while Torino is a good choice in terms of exposure and difficulty of integration, and should not be rejected directly under normal circumstances. Once the player's willingness to join is confirmed, Longo will come forward to contact the opposing team and try to finalize the deal before the other clubs react, after all, from the information provided by Li Mudi, both of them already have competitors watching, if you don't want to delay the game in two weeks or even possible accidents, it is better to get it done as soon as possible.

The final part of the meeting was a handover between the team's head coach and the head of the marketing department, with the former handing over a list of more than two dozen players under the age of 20, with a reference price that he didn't know if it was reliable. Most of these players are unfamiliar except for a few people, and if it weren't for Li Mudi putting them on the table today, maybe no one would have known how much potential they would have, or maybe they would not have made a name for themselves in a few years, but then it was not something that a team like Torino could easily get their hands on. Of course, the difficulty of buying it now will not be low, although they are not famous yet, but who knows if their parent team will have decided that they will grow into the future emperor superstar, and it will be completely useless when they encounter a greedy black shop.

While most of the names on this list may have big teams watching, they are not yet ready to bring in a move, giving Torino a chance to pick up the bargain and hopefully make it to the Red Bulls' youth squad in the end. This matter will be handed over to Valentino Cairo himself, and Li Mudi will still hide behind him as a dog-headed military advisor, but the uncertainty of this work is too great, and it is quite a bit of a matter of resignation, and no one knows what the outcome will be.

After a few people discussed the countermeasures, they announced the official disbandment, Li Mudi can start the official vacation while keeping the mobile phone call unblocked, while the others have to devote themselves to the intense and heavy work, seeing this situation, Xiao Li said that there is really no joy without comparison, he is really bored alone, but in any case it is much more comfortable than those workaholics who have no holidays.

After returning to his apartment in the evening and enjoying a takeaway alone, the Torino boss began to follow the Internet for various transfer rumours, having already given Forsina a holiday before Christmas, while his personal assistant Delpino had returned to Spain with Ginés before Christmas. Although it is now the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays, it stands to reason that those reporters will also go home to spend the holidays with their families, but seeing that the winter window is coming again, everyone is paying attention to whether there are important transactions, so the media reporters in the European football circle have become more active, and the head coach of a team like Li Mudi is naturally the focus of the interview. However, it may have been affected by the festive atmosphere, and the paparazzi who squatted and surrounded outside have converged a lot in their attitudes, so that the Turin coach who has no bodyguards can still stay in the house comfortably, and when he goes out to buy things, he can pass safely as long as he answers questions for more than ten minutes, reducing a lot of unnecessary trouble.

However, that night, when he came to a convenience store not far away to buy two ice creams to go back as snacks, he learned from a reporter from a local TV station in Turin that Napoli wanted to buy left-back Bareka on the Internet, which made Li Mudi's face darken. After coping with the answer, which he had not yet commented, he hurried back to his apartment, and immediately pulled out his mobile phone to contact Valentino Cairo, and a few minutes after the phone was pressed, he dialed back.

It turned out that the prince of Turin, who was planning to go to the nightclub with a few fox friends outside the circle, was blocked by a group of reporters as soon as he drove out of his garage, and the question asked was naturally the news that Bareca was about to join Napoli. The prince of Turin, who also had no idea about this matter, was naturally confused, and when he was trying to find a way to perfunctory the past, Li Mudi's phone called. At this time, the Torino coach, who had confirmed through the FM system that this was just a rumor, hurriedly shared his information in the past, so that the other party who was a little anxious finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the two people analyzed that it should be Napoli's sports director Cristiano Giuntoli (Cristiano Giuntoli) What kind of moth is doing, either to divert the attention of competitors elsewhere, or to disturb the military heart of the Torino team, in short, it is better to be more cautious at this sensitive moment.

As January 1 approaches, the world's sports media is full of all kinds of transfer news, of which more than 90% may be false, and about 10% of the remaining 10% of the more reliable will eventually become a reality, even if the success rate is high. So it's very, very difficult to tell from so much fake news what is true, what is a smoke bomb that is deliberately released, and what is purely imaginary by journalists. But this is not too easy for Li Mudi, who has a plug-in, click on the interface of any player at a glance to see who his real suitors are, which club has already offered, those are still waiting, at a glance, which brings a huge information advantage to Torino's transfer work, basically in an invincible position.

At noon on the 28th, Li Mudi, who had made an appointment to go to Valentino Cairo's house for dinner, saw the follow-up news of Barreca's transfer with his mobile phone on the way to the club's prince's house on a taxi, and his agent Bonetto denied that the White Dolphins had contacted him and his customers in an interview with the Napoli media "Tutto Napoli", saying that the previous news was completely a rumor, basically announcing that the Torino left-back would not leave the team this winter, I believe most people will think that it is a wise choice. Bareca, who spent last season on loan at Cagliari, made just 15 appearances all season and returned to Turin this summer with the belief that he could only be used as a replacement for Brazilian Avilar, but who knew that after the early stages of the league period, the young man would become the first choice at left-back in the hands of Li Mudi. With such an opportunity, who would want to go to a strong team to play as a substitute, and the development of young players requires a lot of game experience, so his stay is taken for granted.

The rumour was wiped out in just 24 hours, but other transfer news is on the rise. With the announcement of the Celestial Empire's Shanghai Port Club for a sky-high price of 60 million euros from the famous European tycoon Chelsea to the Brazilian handsome guy Oscar, the entire transfer market has fallen into a boil, and people are looking forward to who the next big transfer will be and when will it appear?

In the evening, the newspaper "Milan Sport" first broke the news that Torino were interested in bringing in AC Milan midfielder Andrea Poli in January, the 27-year-old who became famous at Sampdoria and joined Inter Milan on loan before arriving at the San Siro in the summer of 2013 for 9.75 million euros. He continued to be a regular in his first two seasons, making just 24 appearances in all competitions last season (including 18 in the league), failing to score and providing just three assists. In the first half of the season, he only started twice in Serie A, playing only eight games in total, and with Andrea Bertolacci (Andrea Bertolacci) recovering from injury and Croatia's new internationals Mario Pasalic (Mario Pasalic) and Locatelli rising, his position in the team has been difficult to improve, and joining the Red Bulls, who are less competitive in midfield, may save his precarious career.

The same newspaper as Roma Sport reported that both Torino and Roma were interested in Chievo's attacking midfielder Lucas Castro, the Argentine player who entered Serie A in 2012 and played for Catania and Chievo and has been an absolute mainstay in the team. He has made 17 appearances in Serie A and Coppa Italia** this season, contributing three goals and four assists, and his outstanding performances have naturally attracted the attention of many strong teams. The 27-year-old can play in the middle, as well as on the left and right, but the asking price of more than 10 million euros could be an obstacle to a successful transfer.
