Transfermarkt estimates Sako at 12 million euros, while FM gives a higher value of 14 million euros. But because the Liverpool club is banning players, if they are not sold, it may bring a more discordant atmosphere to the team, so according to common sense, it should be reduced in price, and Li Moody's psychological ceiling is 800 to 9 million, but this involves how much money the club can provide him with this winter.

Although there is no relevant agreement on the coaching contract, and the club's senior management and even the chairman himself have been inquired about through Valentino Cairo, but they have not received an accurate response, but judging from the club's profitability this year and the team's current results, Li Mudi believes that they will not see their opponents are making up for it, and he will fall behind in the second half of the season and lose the European qualification that seems to be at hand. You must know that if you can enter the group stage of the Champions League, you will have a guaranteed income of 30 million euros, and the group stage of the Europa League will also have a variety of income of no less than 10 million, who would want to miss it in vain? It's just that the club didn't make a clear statement for a day, and the team manager couldn't confirm the recruitment work, and it was likely to miss some great opportunities, so at the beginning of this initial meeting, Li Mudi, who was a little anxious, used Mamadou Sako to ask to see the opponent's hole cards.

I saw Pantario Longo frowning slightly and thinking for a little for more than ten seconds, then looked at the Turin coach and responded in a very calm voice: "This player is not the object of our key observation, after all, he was the main force of the giants before, but judging from the report handed over to me by the scouting team a few days ago, Coach Li should have been paying attention to it for a while." Needless to say, his strength is definitely the core of our defense, but his physique is not a bit of a glass man, and he has to be injured for at least a month every year. And the reason why he was blocked by the Red Army is that he has violated the rules of smoking. Prohibit. Later, he bombarded the club and the head coach externally, is it too unprofessional, this kind of disobedience to discipline and depravity is not too in line with the team's founding philosophy. ”

Seeing that the opponent did not take the bait, Li Mudi had to continue to press: "The team's header ability at the back seriously restricts the further improvement of the results, more than 40% of the goals we conceded in the previous games were due to the opponent's aerial work, and now this weakness is already a well-known thing in Italy, if we can't improve this aspect as soon as possible, I think the tenth place or so is the position that the Torino team may be in five months." ”

......Pantario Longo, who has a deep understanding of football, will not be unaware of his strengths and weaknesses, and in the face of the slightly exaggerated words of the team manager, although he will not fully agree, but at least he will agree with the other party's judgment There is still a good chance that it will come true. So this time, after pondering for a long time, he still decided to put the club's bottom line and inventory out, even if Li Moodi may not be able to sign a new contract in a short time, but at least he will not leave the class before the summer, this matter is clear to everyone.

In terms of squad adjustment, it is still necessary to focus on the advice of the head coach of the team, even if the people represented by Antonio Comey in the senior management do not want to provide funds for the manager who has not been able to determine the future of the coach, but in the current situation, it is really a bit more than worth the loss to offend the Celestial Empire who has led the team with good results, has wide support from fans, and can bring great benefits to the club, so it is not a bad thing to make it clear now. "That is, Liverpool has the intention to sell the Frenchman, but according to my rough estimate, the transfer fee will not be lower than the actual value, after all, according to the current situation, the Red Army has lost seven or eight million compared to when he was bought. And the budget we can come up with is simply not enough, not to mention the expensive signing fee, annual salary, broker benefit fee and so on. ”

"And what are the specific numbers of funds we can use?" Seeing that the other party finally made a rational concession, Li Mudi's heart finally let go of a little, if his own people in the club always interfere with his work, it would be too hard, intrigue is not his strong point, such a distraction, the team's results will definitely not be better, and in the end, both will lose, and no one will benefit.

"Mr. President has only talked to me briefly, and even Valentino doesn't know it, it should be less than six million, but it does not include other expenses such as salaries and signing fees. This means that all the money can be used to buy new signings, and if it is not enough, some players will have to be sold first. "This money is indeed a bit shabby in the current market, but Li Mudi, who understands the nature of Urbano Cairo's businessman, has long guessed that there will be no pie in the sky, and if he can really come up with 100 million euros to update the lineup, then the sun must have risen from the west.

However, acceptance is acceptance, but on the surface, it still has to show embarrassment and dissatisfaction, and it is not possible to directly and easily agree to any conditions proposed by the other party, which Genes emphasized before. "That's a pitiful amount of money! Even the main players in the Turin team now, a leg of any person may be more than this price, and I don't think it makes a difference if you don't give the same penny. Li Mudi shook his head pretending to be as he spoke, showing that he really couldn't see it.

But who knew that the road was one foot tall and the magic was one foot high, Longo immediately took over the conversation and responded: "Since there is no difference in the effect, then it is better to save this money and invest in infrastructure, anyway, according to Coach Li's words, it is useless." ”

I'm X! There are still such brazen people, the water that is spilled out also wants to be recycled, and the Xiang who is pulled out still wants to sit back, this is absolutely undisciplined! The Turin coach was so angry that his eyes widened and he couldn't say a word. Fortunately, Valentino Cairo, who had not spoken since the beginning of the meeting, promptly signaled that the team director was joking, and brought the atmosphere back to the normal track, otherwise Li Mudi really wanted to greet the other party in the Celestial Empire.

After getting the specific number of funds that can be used in the winter window, the head coach of the team began to sort out the list listed earlier, and after crossing out the players who were obviously unable to be successfully brought in in two or three minutes, he once again made his own suggestions to several other people in the house: "The Brazilian central defender Carlo on loan from Atletico Greece, I am not going to stay, I will return it when the first window officially opens; In addition, winger Juan Iturbe, who has a high salary but does not help the team, can also be returned to Roma, I have heard him complain lately that he will not be able to play, and letting him go will not only remove a hidden danger in the dressing room, but also reduce the burden on the team's salary, which can be called a double win. ”

Carlo has not played a single official game since joining Torino on loan, and the club has to pay him the full salary, since he can't use it at all, it is inevitable to send him back to the original team; Although Iturbe's ability is not bad, in the heart of the team's head coach, he still pays more attention to Falke and Rajjadzic, who are official players of the team, and Jesus, who was brought from Real Madrid, is also an important rotation in the team, and the status of the Paraguayan international is very embarrassing. He played only seven games in half a season, including two less important Coppa Italia games, and a total of only 250 minutes, which was completely marginal. Considering that his Torino club has to pay him a salary of more than one million (half a season), this is too low value for money, so sending him back to Roma is understandable to others.

However, the club director, who is worried that the team's strength will decline, still has to ask Li Mudi about the operation after the purge: "Since these two players staying will not help the team's results, it is naturally the best choice to put them back to the original team, but the second half of the season is often a period of high incidence of injuries. ”

"They're getting rid of them because they don't need those two players anymore, but they can bring in stronger new players to replace them. The acquisition of a man with excellent headers in the centre-back position is already a matter of urgency, since Mamadou Sako has ...... due to a transfer fee and other reasons can only be regrettably missed, then we have to look for another target. The coach glanced at Pantario Longo, who had been looking at him for a moment, and then again gave a striking name: "Ranocchia, I'm going to buy the Inter centre-back." ”

Andrea Ranocchia, born on February 16, 1988 in the province of Perugia in the Umbria region of central Italy, joined Serie A side Arezzo after making her debut in the youth academy of her hometown club, where she caught the eye of Serie A teams. In the summer of 2008, Genoa bought half of the ownership of La Nokia and then loaned it out to Bari, a second division side that lived up to expectations and helped the team win the Serie B title and be promoted to Serie A. In the season that followed, Ranocchia and Leonardo Bonucci formed a golden pairing, causing a headache for many of Serie A's top goalscorers.

However, just when people thought that a super central defender talent was about to be born, injuries came to the door, and when the then national team coach Lippi was about to put him in the squad for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Ranocchia suffered a serious knee injury and had to recuperate for at least half a year, so he regretted losing the opportunity to climb the first peak of his life. However, Inter's contract still gave the young man the confidence to start over, and the Nerazzurri used half ownership of striker Destro and 12.5 million euros in cash to take down the young defender, who was hailed by the media as Nesta's successor, and he also proved his strength with solid defense again and again, making an important contribution to Inter's consecutive championships. It can be said that if it weren't for the frequent injuries, Ranocchia might really be the backbone of the Italian national team's defense for the next decade.

Unfortunately, at the beginning of last season, he completely lost his position as the main player in the team due to his form, and was loaned to Sampdoria during the winter break. After returning to Inter Milan this season, he qualified to start in the first round, because the team lost to Chievo and was completely abandoned by Frank de Boer, and later Pioli took office and did not give Ranocchia any chance, except for the Europa League, which was not valued by the club, and only got less than 400 minutes of playing time in the first half of the league, and was a substitute for the team.

Although the player's strength has been widely questioned by the outside world for two or three seasons in a row, his height of 1.95 meters, his excellent defensive awareness and first-class heading ability make him Optimus Prime at the back for Torino. And his value has also dropped from more than 20 million euros at its peak (the value was not as exaggerated as it is now, this figure was already considered high among defensive players) to 5 million today, and the annual salary of the current contract is only 2 million, the Torino club can fully meet the requirements of the player, this deal is definitely very worthwhile.

After digesting the shock of the manager for half a minute, the two club's transfer executives immediately felt that this was a good target, so they nodded their heads and said they could follow up immediately. However, Li Mudi still said the small trouble seen from the FM system: "As far as I know, Hull City in the Premier League is also preparing to operate a loan loan for Ranocchia, they are currently deep in the relegation circle, conceding the most goals in the entire league, and they are eager for quality defenders." Considering that Inter's current ranking is still behind us, maybe they will not be willing to help increase the strength of their rivals, this deal is not very easy to discuss! ”

Seeing Valentino Cairo's face tightened, Li Mudi then suggested: "But we still have certain advantages, first of all, the way of introduction, Hull City can only be loaned first, after all, the Italians go to England to play, you have to see how well you adapt." However, we can buy it outright, which should be a better option for Inter, who have already given up on Ranocchia. The player's will is also very important, I don't think he wants to go abroad when he is about to be 29 years old, if we can do the work of the player, I believe it will be half done. ”

While saying this, the eyes of the team manager have been looking at the club director, and he knows that whether this recruitment can be successful depends on whether Mr. Chairman recognizes it or not. And Valentino, because of his close relationship with Li Mudi, it is not convenient for him to communicate with his father in ordinary business, and in today's meeting, only Longo is the one who will report directly to the chairman. Longo also felt very reliable about the recruitment candidate proposed by his head coach, so he promised to report it as soon as possible at this time, and start working as soon as he got a confirmed reply.
