Chapter 287: Beginning the Layout (Part II)

As of last weekend's 36th round of the league, Pellegri has played two official games for the Genoa first team, but they have been chatting for a few minutes, and it seems that the head coach of the Griffon Army, Juric, intends to let the youngster feel some professional league atmosphere, but this kind of training method is still too conservative in Li Mudi's opinion. If you want to focus on developing the potential of a player, you need to give him more playing time, at least fifteen minutes, so that you can learn something from the game and the opponent.

Some people may use Genoa's current relegation situation as worrying and making the manager reluctant to use young players to excuse Juric, but you must know that when they had a crisis, it was already after 30 rounds, and they had been in a leisurely situation before that, and that environment was the most suitable for developing new talents. Their coaching staff missed the best of times, sending him to the first team but never giving him a chance to play, delaying the best development of the talented player, which also gave the Torino boss an opportunity to poach.

Germany's "Transfer Market" currently values Pellegri at 800,000 euros, and Li Mudi feels that the price within 5 million is worth it, and even 10 million is barely acceptable. Knowing that the target is just a 16-year-old who doesn't look too prominent right now, it's no wonder Valentino Cairo has a shocked look on his face. Fortunately, after receiving repeated advice from the Torino manager, he knew the other party's determination, so he agreed to immediately start arranging scouts to follow in detail, and was ready to discuss a trade plan with Genoa FC.

This is not to say that he questioned Li Mudi's decision to recruit him, but to give a reasonable explanation to the club's top management, otherwise the coach of the team said who to buy, but could not come up with any materials that can prove the strength or potential of the player, and no club would agree to such a hasty transfer plan.

After tentatively arranging preparations for the introduction of Genoa's talented striker, the two men exchanged views on the list of players who are likely to leave Torino next season.

First of all, in the goalkeeper position, Joe Hart, the main player of this season, is 100% certain to return to Manchester City, although Torino chairman Urbanocairo once had the idea of extending his loan for another year, but has now completely abandoned it. To be fair, the England international's performance in Serie A this season has been a bit underwhelming, with occasional world-class saves, but more often than not, with low-level errors being the most frequent among the teams at the top of the table.

As of the last round, Joe Hart has made 34 appearances for the Red Bulls, conceding 46 goals, an average of 1.35 goals per game, the worst of the top nine teams. According to the statistics of those who are interested, if it were not for his ultra-low-level mistakes, Torino should have at least six or seven more points at present, in that case, they would have locked up fourth place in the league and secured a direct place in the group stage of the Europa League.

And it is precisely because of the problems similar to the problems that he has caused after he was loaned to Italy, that Manchester City resolutely rejected Urbano Cairo's loan renewal proposal, because the value of the England international has fallen by 7 million in this year, which makes the Guardiola who wants to cash out of him very dissatisfied. Although it is inevitable that Joe Hart will not be able to guarantee a place in the team and re-loan him, the Blues will hope that he can perform well in order to win the approval of buyers and get a significant transfer fee.

However, no one in Torino will feel any regret about the loss of the former world-class goalkeeper, and even the president of Torino, who has always been very optimistic about him, also expressed some negative views about the goalkeeper in an interview with the reporter of "Torino Sports Newspaper" this morning. "Hart made some mistakes, especially when it came out," he said. He's a big name goalkeeper and we probably didn't expect an England international to make so many mistakes...... However, he still made a good save for the team, but it turned out that we were not the best match. ”

In addition to the main goalkeeper who has been loaned by the chairman, backup goalkeeper Padelli is also about to say goodbye to the team, and he has basically negotiated a personal deal with Inter Milan, and he will be able to report to the Su Ning Sports Training Center when the summer window opens. Originally, Li Mudi's suggestion was to only charge a symbolic fee, and then get the loan rights of Brazilian teenager Barbosa in exchange, but the latest news feedback is that even if Barbosa leaves the team on loan, he will join a team that can participate in the Champions League, and there is no drama on the Torino side.

After learning about this situation, Li Mudi really doubted for the first time that he was old and had such a big generation gap with today's young people, because he couldn't understand what the Brazilian who said this thought. As a so-called genius who became famous in China at a young age, Barbossa is not the most prominent group of leaders, even Robinho and Diego were far more famous than him, but there are really few people who have such a high heart at his age, which can be seen from the way he came to Europe.

There are two main types of options for Brazilian players to play in Europe, one is represented by Ronaldo, who first joins a secondary team, and then moves to a big club or a top league team that is more suitable for him after he has completely adapted to the environment and football culture here. The other is represented by Neymar, who joined the super team directly in one step and embarked on the peak of his life.

Of course, the probability of success of the former is higher than that of the latter, after all, South American football is still quite different from Europe, and it is difficult for ordinary people to smoothly integrate into the new environment in a short period of time. Therefore, the vast majority of Brazilian players still follow the trajectory of their predecessors such as Romario and Ronaldo, starting from small teams and then waiting for the opportunity to join a big club.

But Barbossa didn't believe in this evil, and insisted that the first stop in Europe was Inter Milan, a giant team nicknamed "Star Black Hole", how big is this heart! The transfer proved to be a win-win, two-loss affair after almost a year, and in addition to the huge sum of €30 million that his parent club had earned, it was an extremely disappointing season for Inter and the player himself. The Nerazzurri wasted 35 million (including the player's annual salary and signing fee, etc.) almost for nothing, and missed the opportunity to reinforce; Barbosa, on the other hand, did not get the training he deserved, and his strength did not increase much.

Originally, the Torino coach still wanted to be able to take this player into his account and give him a chance to get back on track, but judging from the emotional intelligence and career planning he is showing now, if there is no major change, it is likely to be completely abolished, and I am afraid that even Robinho will not be able to reach the level in the future, let alone succeed Neymar.

After suppressing the slight discomfort in his heart and laughing at himself that the Torino team was still looked down upon even after breaking into the Europa League, Li Mudi focused on the next list of departures.

Compared with the total annihilation of the goalkeeper position, there will be a lot of changes in the backline. Brazilian Kastan has been largely unavailable since the arrival of Ranocchia and will definitely return to Roma when his loan contract expires; Vallejo has also been confirmed by Zizou to return to Real Madrid to replace the vacancy left by Pepe, who has broken down contract renewal talks with the club and confirmed his departure.

Another centre-back who is likely to leave is Albania international Ajeti, who has not been able to gain the trust of the manager since joining the Red Bulls on a free transfer from relegated Frosinone last summer, and has only played less than 100 minutes a year, and is not yet 24 years old and needs plenty of playing opportunities. So the Torino club have agreed to contact him and according to the FM system, Crotone has taken a keen interest in him and could make an offer if they are relegated. Li Mudi's point of view is that no less than 1.2 million is acceptable, and after deducting this year's salary and bonuses, you can earn a little more.

As for the attrition of full-backs, there are also two basic certain, Arbeloa, who has undergone major surgery, has decided to officially retire at the end of the season, he has passed the national C-level coaching certificate exam during the recovery period, and can get a contract in the youth team. However, if he does not have the opportunity to join the Real Madrid echelon, he will become the coach of the Torino U18 team according to the previous verbal agreement with Li Muddy and contribute to the future of the club.

And as Amiens' form in Ligue 2 has become more secure, the possibility of promotion has exceeded seven percent, which means that Brazilian left-back Avilar is almost certain to play in France. The departure of these two players will make Torino's two wings even more thin, and with Chelsea obsessed with poaching Zampa Costa, the head coach will need to identify their successors as soon as possible to prevent injuries or suspensions for the likes of Barreka from becoming unavailable.

As for the changes in midfield, the departure of Jesse is inevitable, but Zizou has also made assurances in previous contacts that once Real Madrid do not sell several big names in the current team, they will loan Heqiu to a friend for another season. While this promise is almost impossible to fulfill, it is likely that he will change tactics next season, so the demand for a winger is not so urgent. Of course, Hesse can also play the advantage of speed and technique when playing as a striker, and it is very unreasonable to have such a player.

Another winger who is confirmed to leave is Cerci, the former Italian winger has indeed improved significantly after half a season of training with the team, compared to his time in Spain, but it is still not enough to play for the top six teams in Serie A. Although the soon-to-be-30-year-old Cherci is happy with his return to his old club in the past half season, and is grateful for the help of the coaching staff, especially the manager, he still wants to get more opportunities to play in the final years of his career. When he returns to Atletico, he will seek an early termination of his contract before returning to Italy to join a weaker side in the first division, hoping to seize the last chance to shine. In this regard, the whole club of Torino unanimously expressed their support for his decision and sent sincere wishes.

And the Serbian international Rajjadzic, whom Li Mudi wants to clean the most, is currently unattended. Dortmund did show a lot of interest in it before, but the Hornets, who have never had much financial resources, still have a backlog of talented attackers in the frontcourt, and if they can't sell at least one of the players, they can't buy new signings, so they just keep an eye on it at the moment and won't make an offer.

Apart from Borussia Dortmund, there is no other team with the strength to offer conditions that are acceptable to both the Torino team and the players, so this versatile frontcourt player who has formed irreconcilable contradictions with the manager is very likely to be forced to stay in the team, which has become a great hidden danger. If he is forced to do so, the Torino coach will consider putting it up for sale, which will need to be dealt with at a lower price, and the thought that he will suffer a big loss in the player's transaction makes Li Mudi's mood become bad, all of which are problems when playing the football manager game, and it is uncomfortable not to open a black store.

However, several central midfielders are almost certain to stay, and after Barcelona previously denied transfer rumours with other Serie A powerhouses, the FM system shows that his suitors have basically disappeared, and the likes of Benasi, Akwa and Russ are not in any special situation at the moment. Even Fabas, who is on loan from Real Madrid, is almost certain to renew his loan for another year, after all, the main positions of the Magic Flute and Kroos are still unshakable, and the Spanish youngster will not get a chance even if he returns to his parent team, so it is better to train under his former mentor for an extra year.

As for the already very weak forward line, naturally there will be no possibility of voluntary attrition, but until the moment the transfer window closes, no one can guarantee that Belotti will stay. Therefore, Li Mudi and Valentino Cairo must prepare a list, and once the team's top name is poached by other giants, they must immediately bring in replacements. The Torino coach wants to play with a two-striker strategy next season, so not only will they not sell people, but they will have to think about how to poach people from other teams.
