Chapter 209: An Accident After an Accident

First, the two clubs involved in this news are the two biggest clubs in Europe at the moment, so they have naturally received the attention of all football insiders. Analysing the squad, Antonio Conte does lack a reliable right wing-back replacement at the moment, with 20-year-old Nigerian Ola Aina yet to establish himself in the first team and the Blues are ready to send him on loan to Hull City to gain more experience.

Aurier's performances in Paris in the first two seasons have proved that he has the ability to become a regular in the world's top clubs, and at present, strong teams including Manchester United, Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in bringing in the right-back, who has just passed his 24th birthday.

However, it is clear that they will all be disappointed in the end, because this is a "grafting" plan that Li Mudi instructed Ginés and Turin chairman Urbano Cairo to work together. It's true that Chelsea are missing a right wing-back rotation, it's true that Antonio Conte is strongly asking for a new player, and it's true that they're interested in Aurier, but not now, but at the end of 2016, but they gave up after discussing their intentions with Paris Saint-Germain, the French side don't want to let go of the main team in the winter, and there is a big gap in price.

The Blues' focus now is on Torino's new Italian international Zampacosta, with the FM system clearly showing a keen interest in the Red Bulls' No.17, and if it weren't for Bruno Perez's heart being snatched away from Roma, Lee Moody might have made a fortune in a deal with Chelsea.

However, Torino is in a situation where it is impossible to let go of these two players at the same time, and if there is only Silvestri who is slightly inferior to them and weak in attack, then the team's attack on the right flank will be completely unexpected, so how can they win a European place from the fierce competition? So with Perez almost certain to go, it is still necessary to try to keep the homegrown international.

The absence of Chelsea's squad also gave Limaudi the opportunity to "get off the hook", and the pressure was put on Roma through a simple pull, who were slow to raise their offer for Bruno Perez, and Limaudi, who was anxious to determine whether he could use the player when he faced Sassuolo three days later, did not want to go on like this. This year's winter window still closes at 8am on February 1, with four league games and a Coppa Italia game in between, so if the Red Wolves drag the transfer until the last minute, how much will the demoralized Red Bulls be able to explode in the meantime? It's strange if the grades don't decline!

Using the Blues and Paris, who have always been good at money, to hype the Brazilian right-back as a hot target for the giants, I believe that the Roma side should not be firmly seated in the Diaoyutai. At the moment, Li Mudi, who was in the club's training ground, looking at the players returning from vacation and doing warm-up exercises, couldn't help but think so.

Sure enough, fearing that the duck with his mouth would be snatched away by others, Roma still sent a new offer fax on the morning of the 6th: 18.5 million euros, although it has exceeded the estimate of "Transfer Market", but there is still a huge gap from the 25 million set by the Torino coach. After discussing it with Li Mudi, Pantario Longo replied with a fax that still did not reduce the price, and at the same time, Torino Sport broke the news at noon that Valencia had also joined the battle to bring in Bruno Pérez.

In the evening, the Red Wolves finally sent an offer of 20 million euros, and indicated that the amount would not be increased again. Li Mudi, who was called out of the cafeteria by Valentino Cairo, thought for a minute after learning about the situation and gave his own advice.

At half past eleven o'clock in the morning of the 7th, the two clubs of Roma and Torino released important information on their respective official websites at the same time: Brazilian Bruno Perez officially joined the capital team, and the Red Wolves paid a fee of 19 million euros in order to get him, and also traded two youth players in the U20 team, Luca Pellegrini (Luca Pellegrini) and Riccardo Marchizza (Riccardo Marchizza), to the Red Bulls. In addition, the transfer also includes a floating clause whereby the buyer will have to pay €1 million to the seller once the Brazilian right-back gets his international debut.

Due to Perez's excellent performance in the past two seasons, the probability of the final floating clause being triggered is very large, which means that the real money that the Roma club finally paid is likely to be 20 million, which is the highest transaction price in the current European football winter window.

However, after the "Roma Sport" newspaper broke the news that Marchiza had been favored by Sassuolo before, and the latter was willing to bid 4 million to buy the player, the Italian media were not calm. With Manuel Pellegrini valued at around $500,000, plus Marchiza, who is likely to sell for $4 million, the actual value of Roma's new signing has reached close to $25 million, which is definitely a figure that can be included in the top five of the all-time transfer fee list for right-backs.

However, no matter how the outside world talks about whether this deal is worth it or not, Li Mudi, who has received a huge amount of money, can no longer care about the excitement, plus the transaction of Joseph Martinez was just completed yesterday, and Atalanta United's 4 million euros have entered the account of the Torino club, and now he has up to 20 million euros of transfer funds in his hands. After the morning's training session, he rushed to director Longo and asked him to contact Inter again, this time targeting Santon, with the Torino boss wanting to bring in the former Italy international, who could strengthen his defence on both flanks.

However, this wishful thinking did not come to fruition, and after not being very willing to sell Ranocchia to their rivals, the Nerazzurri did not want to continue to strengthen the Torino team, so they quickly rejected the transfer offer, causing Li Muddy to suffer the first setback of this transfer period.

Fortunately, this did not cause the Torino boss to suffer too much, and as of this afternoon, Torino had made the following minor changes to the squad: the return of centre-back Carlo and winger Iturbe, who had been loaned last summer, the introduction of centre-back Ranocchia and the sale of right-wing-back Bruno Perez (Joseph Martinez was already on loan, so the sale did not affect the change in the squad). There is only one player in the negotiations between winger Cerci, and if it can be successful, there will be one league registration left, so Li Mudi will want to buy a new signing to make up for the team's weaknesses.

At present, the two full-backs in the Torino team are in a state of rotation between two, Bareca and Avilar on the left, Zampacosta and Silvestri on the right, and Arbeloa, who can play on both sides, is still recovering from injury, and the team medical team estimates that it is possible to return until mid to late March, so the team manager wants to bring in Thornton to enhance the thickness of the two roads, and at least there can be a substitute once someone is injured, but this idea has been shattered.

However, there is more than one position that the team needs to strengthen, and the frequent defensive problems in the midfield before make Li Mudi feel very tricky, and the old captain Vives is in good mental condition, but his physical ability has been unable to keep up with the fierce rhythm of Serie A. Although Torino's midfield configuration this season is two attacks and one defence, once the Ghanaian is suspended or injured, they can only risk an all-attacking combination, so finding a new defensive midfielder is a very important task at the moment. From here, you can see the consequences of the club's poor development of youth training, the lack of four registration places makes the lineup very tight, and every recruitment has to be considered for a long time before starting, wasting a lot of time and energy.

After confirming that there was no hope of taking Thornton, Li Mudi turned his attention to France, where he set his sights on Lassana Diarra, the legendary No. 10 of Real Madrid. The "Makelele II" of the year is no longer majestic, although he is about to turn 32 years old (there are two birth dates of 85 and 86 in the data, here the 85 years abroad prevails) is not too old, and many people are still shining at this age, but because of his maverick personality, Russ has not received recognition and status in line with his strength throughout his career.

At the age of less than 20, he was taken by Chelsea and brought to Stamford Bridge, and at the age of 23, he switched to the command of Professor Arsene Wenger, and after experiencing the dormancy of Portsmouth, he joined the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship at a high price. However, his "core dream" has not been able to integrate him into these top teams, and he can only leave again and again. In the summer of 2015, at the age of 30, Lars joined Marseille as a free agent and became an unshakable mainstay in the team in his first season, starting all competitions except for injuries, but the team's results were exceptional, finishing 13th in the table, the worst record in Marseille's last two decades.

In October 2016, French coach Rudy Garcia, who had led Roma to two Serie A runners-up titles, took over the reins of Marseille, and Russ also ushered in his own miserable situation, first being stripped of the captain's armband, then losing his main position, and finally not even being able to sit on the bench. He has only played 19 minutes for Marseille in the last five league games, and after finally getting enough of the humiliation, Russ asked the club for a release.

Since the original contract between the two sides will expire in the summer, and the previous contract extension cannot be agreed on due to salary issues, it is very likely that he will leave the team in the near future, and the Torino coach wants to take the opportunity to take the defender who still has good strength at zero cost.

There are two reasons why Li Mudi is confident that he will take the veteran, first: there are no other teams interested in him for the time being, except for Torino; Second, Russ previously owed a huge amount of termination money during his previous time at Spartak Moscow due to a contract dispute with the team, and he urgently needed a large amount of euros to fill the hole, and although the annual salary offered by Torino would not be very high, it could not stand the head coach's connections in the Celestial Empire! No less than five players on the team who were not well-known and could not get sponsorship have all received some advertising contracts for Celestial Empire sporting goods because of their bosses, just like Da Yao's teammates on the Rockets back then had Celestial Empire sneaker sponsorship. With the fame of several giants that Rusas has played for before, as well as the influence brought by the magical Real Madrid No. 10 shirt, I believe that it is still easy to get endorsement contracts from domestic second-tier sports brands, and the future is obviously bright.

At the same time that the Torino boss reported the proposal to the club director, he also brought him good news: Celci agreed to return to his former club on loan, and then Atletico Madrid also replied that they were willing to let the Italian player leave. So before Bologna, who had always been interested in him, reacted, the Red Bulls stamped the club's official seal on the agreement sent by Spain, and the two sides officially completed the deal, Torino will loan the player until June 30, 2017, while sharing 50% of Atletico's salary of about 2 million euros before tax, and finally there is no buyout clause.

The Turin management is still worried about Cherci's injury history, so they have not wanted to discuss the purchase with the other party, and Li Mudi thinks that it is better to observe half a season first, and the money saved will be wasted. His mentality has changed, he didn't have money in hand before, so he can only look for players who can be brought in without spending a few dollars, but the large income brought by Bruno Perez makes all the difference, 20 million euros is enough to buy a good player with a foothold in the Serie A team, if it wasn't for the signing of Cerci that he proposed before, the negotiations have entered the final stage when he gets the latest funds, and Li Mudi really wants to stop the loan directly.

If Russ's signing is also successful, the Torino team will be full of registrations, and there will be no new recruits, which instantly makes the coach feel too embarrassed. When I wanted to buy someone, I didn't have money, but now I have money but I don't have room to buy someone, which is really ironic!

Before he could figure out whether to directly give up signing Las Diarra and buy a strong defender instead, or keep the original plan unchanged and transfer the original players out of the original registration, he received a call from the domestic agent Lin Zixu, Lin Lilian's news has swept the headlines of the Celestial Empire entertainment industry, but the reaction of the vast number of melon-eating people was very unexpected by the parties concerned.

Although the Chinese people's current dislike for kimchi Chinese people is still at a very high level, they have a very benign attitude towards compatriots marrying into a female star of the other party. Previously, Choo Ja Hyun Yu Xiaoguang and his wife were very popular in China, and this time Li Mudi's appearance with Girls' Generation was regarded by many netizens as a counterattack against Song Chengxian to win Liu Yifei before, this way of thinking is really incomprehensible to the Turin coach.
