Bruno Fernandez, who is 1.83 meters tall and weighs around 78 kilograms, has a typical Iberian physique, not known for his strength and speed, but his agility and ball intelligence are well above average in the ranks of footballers, and the Portuguese player is no exception.

Due to his long cameo experience in the central midfielder and shadow striker positions, his ability has been improved in the process of growing up. In addition to the header is really not good at, whether it is the performance in actual combat or the ability value evaluation provided by the FM system, he is an all-round fighter with no obvious shortcomings.

However, if it is only to this extent, it will not make Li Mudi, who has a lot of money in his hands and is determined to hit the Serie A championship, list Bruno Fernandes as a key target, the key is that his advantages are also more prominent. After returning to the Portuguese Super League for a season, his free kicks, through ball awareness and long-range shooting ability have been improved by leaps and bounds, and he has also cultivated a certain defensive ability, which can be said to have touched the threshold of a world-class striker, and may be promoted to a world-renowned star at any time.

In terms of Li Mudi's tactical design of the Torino team's 3-4-1-2 formation, the responsibility of the team's forward midfielder can be said to be very heavy, not only to be able to send dangerous passes for the striker, but also to have a reliable long-range shot, and to be able to pull to the side when necessary. And because of the main defensive counter-attacking characteristics, players in this position must not stick to the ball, and it is best to contribute on the defensive end. These requirements are almost perfectly matched with Bruno Fernandes' quality characteristics, as if the player had been made in heaven for the Torino manager.

Of course, there isn't much absolute perfection in the world, at least Fernandez is still far from a star of Pastore's level in terms of goalscoring desire, big-picture vision and ability to deal with more complex situations. But that doesn't stop him from being seen as a rising star in European football, with the likes of Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Roma all keeping their eyes on the 23-year-old striker, and once the release decision is made, it is believed that more teams will try to sign him for free.

It's just that in the face of the opportunity to take advantage of the big advantage without shelling a penny, those clubs have chosen a wait-and-see attitude, and the red bull intercepted the prey in advance.

On the second day of the Champions League final, Valentino Cairo, who negotiated on behalf of the Torino team, first offered 15 million euros, but was immediately rejected by the president of Sporting Club, who was unwilling to lose too much, who considered the price to be seriously insincere, and even directly closed the channel for the Torino team to continue bargaining.

It's just that as time goes on, the perception in Portugal of Bruno de Carvalho's abusive and suspected hired gangsters to attack players has become more and more angry, and then a number of players have claimed in media interviews that they have been frequently subjected to Carvalho's "mental violence" on weekdays, which has completely tilted public opinion on the side of the relatively weak players.

Almost all the media were calling for justice for the victims, and then a Portuguese Football Federation official revealed that it would speed up the process of reviewing the players' contract termination applications, which forced the "brain-dead" president to hurry up and come up with a means to deal with it.

On June 4, de Carvalho said in public that if the players could agree to the following two terms: "First, the management resigns, they will stay with the team and continue to play for Sporting de Portugal; 2. If the current management of the club, including himself, wins the election again, the players will stay", then the management led by the president of the club will immediately resign in order to persuade the players to withdraw their request for termination.

Privately, however, Carvalho has begun to step up the process of negotiating transfers with other clubs over some of the players involved, and has reopened the channel of communication with Torino.

After two days of bargaining, the Red Bulls, under the strong suggestion of Li Mudi, agreed to the reserve price of 20.5 million quoted by the chairman of the Portuguese Super League, and quickly got the player himself and brought Bruno Fernandes to the Olympic Stadium without outsiders noticing any clues.

Some people in the Red Bull have no doubts about this figure, which is already the price of cabbage, and they think that if they can continue to consume it, they will be able to force the other party to make concessions again. It's just that Fernandez's agent soon came with a piece of news, which made them have to admire their own head coach's old spiciness.

It turned out that less than five hours after the prince of Turin and the Portuguese sports marketing department finally agreed on the transfer fee of Fernandes, the transfer of another big player in the team ended in a temporary breakdown.

Patricio, who has played for Sporting since the youth team, was also very angry at the club's president's actions, but out of deep affection for his parent team, he still chose to leave a transfer fee for the club when he had the opportunity to join other teams as a free agent to seek a big contract for himself. Wolves, fresh from Premier League promotion, have become another team to make the smart choice, willing to pay €18 million to take the goalkeeper, who has just turned 30 and is in his prime.

It's just that when the two teams and the player himself were about to agree on the transfer fee and personal treatment, Bruno de Carvalho suddenly changed his mind and hoped that Wolves could raise the offer to 20 million, which made Patricio and the English team strongly dissatisfied, and the negotiations went directly into a state of indefinite shelf. The player even stated that he would not continue to swallow his anger and join the ranks of directly demanding the termination of the contract.

Such a result can be said to be a lose-lose situation for both teams, and the seller is very likely to let go of a world-class goalkeeper with a market value of more than 16 million euros for nothing, and will not get a penny; Buyers will face competition from other teams after the player becomes a free agent, and knowing that getting a goalkeeper of this level for free is quite tempting for teams that need to strengthen the position. If Arsenal or Liverpool choose to make a move, there will be basically nothing to do with the Premier League promotion horses.

With this example in front of them, the senior management of the Red Bulls are no longer dissatisfied with Li Mudi's choice of cutting through the mess quickly, after all, introducing it at a price lower than the player's estimate of 6.5 million is also considered to have picked up a big bargain.

Regarding the details of Bruno Fernandes' contract, the Serie A runner-up did not disclose it to the public, but as an insider, Li Mudi naturally will not be unclear. The Portuguese striker signed a four-year contract with his new club with an annual salary of 3.55 million euros before tax, plus various bonus clauses, if the team can achieve the same results next season as the year just ended, then it will bring him an additional 1 million income, which is already relatively high in Serie A.

In order to maintain the atmosphere of the river crab in the team, the club will start new contract negotiations with certain players whose treatment is clearly not in line with their ability in the next month or so, and the Red Bulls, who set a record for single-season earnings in team history in 2017-18, can finally be in full swing, even if a lot of money is withheld for the chairman's new stadium plan, but the remaining part is more than enough to give everyone a salary increase.

At noon on the second day after Li Mudi returned to Italy, the Torino coach who happened to meet club director Pantario Longo in the canteen heard from the other party that the club wanted to reach a new contract with him. According to the tone revealed by Longo, the sincerity of the Red Bulls this time can be said to be very sufficient, and the club directly issued a new fully guaranteed contract of 3.8 million before tax, which is the fourth highest salary in the entire Serie A after Allegri, Ancelotti and Spalletti. And if all the items specified in the reward clause can be achieved, then Li Mudi will be able to obtain a pre-tax income of up to 5.8 million, which has to be said to be a very generous offer.

It's a pity that Li Moody, who has no intention of staying to become Wenger's second, did not show a trace of interest in this proposal until the other party left after eating, so it became clear to both parties that next season would be the last football cycle of their cooperation.

Because of the engagement ceremony, this stage of the Torino manager's work will be concluded until noon on Saturday. As of this time, the team's squad adjustment has basically completed the most important part, except for Valencia's 15 million offer for Spanish winger Falke's deal is still under negotiation, only one or two players in Li Mudi's plan have not yet entered the formal process, but that will not be the next step until after the World Cup.

As for Belotti's joining AC Milan and Balotelli's two big deals from Nice, they are still in the stage of not having a single stroke, and Li Mudi, who does not want to see this scene become a reality, will naturally not take the initiative to participate in it, and sometimes it is also a very good experience to sit and watch other people jump up and down there.

In less than three weeks after the end of the season, a number of noteworthy player transfer transactions have been born in world football, among which the one that can have a direct impact on the Torino team is naturally the reinforcement of other Serie A powerhouses.

Juventus, who have won seven consecutive league titles, have not shown too much active adjustment ideas at this stage, and after the departure of the team's spiritual leader Gianluigi Buffon, they have released Swiss veteran Lichtsteiner and Ghana international Asamoah for free, and the overall strength seems to have declined slightly. But then, the Old Lady announced the purchase of Brazilian winger Douglas Costa, who was on loan from Bayern last season, and snatched Genoa goalkeeper Perrin from his rivals, and then spent 7 million euros to buy back 21-year-old local high school striker Favelli from Ascoli. In addition, the arrival of Emre Can is almost a certainty, and next season Juventus will still lead the entire Serie A league in terms of overall strength.

Napoli, who almost succeeded in stopping the old woman's consecutive championships, after welcoming the new coach Ancelotti, naturally can't watch their own strength be further and further down by the Bianconeri. They spent €22.5 million to buy Italy's new international Victor Verdi from Bologna almost immediately after taking over the new role, a move that was speculated to be a replacement for the Belgian Dolphins for the departure of Belgian star Mertens. Previously, the British media broke the news that Sarri proposed his former favorite in the negotiations with Chelsea by name, in order to finalize the new head coach as soon as possible, Abou is likely to agree to this request, Napoli's move is to prepare for a rainy day.

Another powerhouse to make a move is Roma, who immediately paid the same price for Cristante, who bought Cristante on loan from Benfica at Atalanta, with a buyout clause of 15 million. In addition, the Red Wolves, who are negotiating a contract extension with coach Di Francisco, have also been revealed to be pursuing Ajax winger Kluivert Jr. and Pastore. But what is even more surprising is that they actually allowed the core of the team Nainggolan to enter the transfer market and put a price tag of 40 million euros for him, which caused a lot of turmoil.

Many people said that Roma FC intends to sell the midfielder who has performed extremely well in the past two years, and team legend Giuseppe Giannini expressed his opposition after learning the news, he believes that the team should not let Nainggolan leave, and if it has to sell the player, then would rather choose Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson.

Later, the reporter broke the news that the Roma team chose to sell it when it was still possible to exchange the ideal transfer fee because the unruly Belgian star had repeatedly violated the team's rules and even seriously affected the team's image.

Later, Di Marzio updated his personal website, saying that former Roma coach Spalletti intends to bring Nainggolan, who has just announced his retirement from the national team due to his failure to be selected for the World Cup, to Meazza, and the reunion of the mentor and apprentice is believed to significantly improve Inter's strength in the new season.

However, the Nerazzurri are currently facing a review of UEFA's financial fair play policy, and there is no way to make a large number of signings for the time being, and they will need to accept penalties before they can free up their hands to make a transfer operation of this important level.

It was at this moment that "Roma Sport" suddenly sent out a message that the Torino team was interested in bringing in the Belgian midfielder to upgrade their already strong midfield. As soon as this news came out, it immediately ushered in the attention of the entire Italian football world, and Torino legend Bianchi even posted on his personal Twitter that if he can snatch Nainggolan, then the Red Bulls will surpass Napoli and become the top seed to challenge Juventus next season.

It was at this time of the storm in the city that Li Mudi, who had just walked out of Mallorca Palmamalarque Airport, received a call from Zhang Kangyang, the prince of Inter, and the first sentence of the other party's mouth almost made the Torino coach break his neck on the flat ground.
