Chapter 123: The Italians' Quote

The British are still at the stage of observation, and the Italians are already preparing an offer.

In the 2006-2007 Serie A season, 7 rounds have been played, AC Milan only has 4 points and ranks 15th in the standings, even with the 8 points penalized by "Phonegate", it is also ranked outside the European zone, which is a bad situation for the Serie A giants, and if it continues, it is very possible to play in Europe next season.

In fact, Milan's record after the start of the season is not bad, losing only one game in seven league games, but the bad thing is that there are as many as three draws, the reason is simple, that is, the striker is weak, only six goals have been scored in seven games, if it is not for the solid defense, only two goals conceded, Milan is likely to fall into the relegation zone in shame.

Milan's forward line is not small, but they are all up to the task, Oliveira, who was brought in as a nuclear warhead stand-in in the summer, can only be regarded as average, while the rest of the front line is also lacking in goal, Gilardino has no aura, and Inzaghi is in shaky form.

AC Milan will have to make a move in the winter transfer market if they are to have Champions League to play next season.

In the conference room in Milan, Rossoneri CEO Galliani and manager Carlo Ancelotti were watching the video of Reeves' game sent by scouts.

On the screen, Reeves is staging a good show of riding alone.

The room was eerily quiet, and it wasn't until Reeves shot the ball into the goal that the two of them let out a long exhale.

"Well, he's worthy of Milan, right?" Ancelotti said expectantly.

Since the end of the match with Lille, Ancelotti has made up his mind to recruit Reeves, but Bey is busy playing with women, and Galliani is busy fighting for power with the "knights' table", and the answer is to wait until the end of the season to think about it.

It wasn't until yesterday that Ancelotti couldn't sit still anymore and found Galliani with the video of Reeves' game.

At this moment, in the face of Ancelotti's words, Galliani did not answer immediately, but fell silent.

Not indifferent, but Galliani to think carefully.

Galliani was tempted by Reeves.

Although he was so busy with a power struggle that he was bald, Gagliari still had an eye on it, and as one of the best managers in world football, he saw unlimited potential in Reeves.

In fact, Reeves' performance against AC Milan impressed Galliani earlier, but Galliani has not acted because he is waiting, waiting for Reeves to fall silent, which is the most suitable time to make an offer.

Galliani's patience has always been good, and Youshan bought key players at the last minute of the transfer period with the best value for money, known as "Galliani time".

With his years of experience, Reeves will go through a long period of slump before picking up some of his performances, but only at a normal level and not as impressive as before.

In the league, Reeves quickly ran into difficulties, but Galliani waited, believing that the slump would be long, and that he would have to wait until even the club had lost faith in him before making an offer, at which point it would be easy to get and the price would certainly be the best deal.

But Galliani didn't expect Reeves to come out of the doldrums so quickly, and in an extremely amazing way.

This is a bit troublesome, its value is going to enter a straight line upward channel, and it seems that something is going to happen, otherwise Reeves continues in this state, and the price will only get higher and higher.

"I'm going to make an offer to Lille today."

Receiving an affirmative reply from Galliani, Ancelotti walked out of the conference room with his big belly in satisfaction.

But just one day later, Ancelotti was called to the vice-chairman's office by Galliani.

"Rejected? So fast? Ancelotti reached out and took a document from Galliani's hand, and guessed the result just by seeing Galliani's not optimistic face.

"I refused, and I replied on the same day." Galiani shrugged his shoulders and leaned back with his hands on his forehead.

While Ancelotti was looking at the papers, Gagliari massaged his temples with both hands and said, "800w euros!" For a young player who hasn't played much, the price is already good. ”

Ancelotti looked at the receipt on the document and muttered the most striking field on it: "Not for sale!" ”

The word "not for sale" in the football world is rarely literal, it is just a cover for the price increase, the real meaning is that the price has not arrived, it is not for sale; The price is here, welcome to the next visit.

Ancelotti also thinks so, "It's just not up to their psychological offer, I think Oliveira is worth 1500w, Reeves is worth 2000w, he's only 17 years old!" ”

Galliani stood up and walked to the sofa, "The price is not a problem, 8 million euros is a test offer, the key is their attitude. ”

Ancelotti sat down on the couch with him, "Attitude? ”

Galliani stretched out his finger and pointed to the time on the document, "The offer that was sent at noon was rejected in the afternoon, and it was only 2 hours in between. ”

"Huh?"

"Believe me, I've dealt with French clubs a lot and I know how they reacted."

"When there is only one of us to offer, if you give a reply immediately, you really don't plan to sell, because the French are very lazy, and give a reply in such a short time, two hours except for dinner, lunch break, and the time to make a decision is only a few minutes, and I definitely didn't take the time to consider this offer. The immediate reply is their refusal, as they have always done. ”

"But I will continue to make offers until they seriously consider our offer, such a good child cannot stay in Lille forever, and the better he performs, the faster he will leave."

"Hey!" Ancelotti sighed and put the papers on the coffee table, "But the team can't afford to wait for the time being, and a striker must be brought in for the winter transfer." ”

"Don't worry, old man, I've got another plan."

"Oh?"

"Ronaldo was not happy at Real Madrid, so I went and brought him here."

-------------------------------------------

Lille President Michel? Seydoux regretted it somewhat.

However, it is not that I regret rejecting AC Milan's offer, but that I regret that I rejected it too decisively.

Reeves' father had a good personal relationship with Seydoux and said hello early, Reeves will leave next summer, promising to leave for a transfer fee that will satisfy Seydoux.

What is a satisfactory transfer fee? Seydoux believes that the higher the better.

Seydoux knew that Reeves' father was preparing to buy a club as Reeves' next destination, which meant that the transfer fee must have come out of the Reaves family's pocket.

He is too exaggerated to speak, for fear of affecting his feelings, but he is unwilling to be too low.

How to define the transfer fee at that time was a difficult question, and it was not until AC Milan's offer came up that Seydoux had an answer.

That is to use the offers of other clubs as a reference to ask the Reeves family for a transfer fee.

The initial offer was 8 million euros, and the final offer will definitely be much higher.

So Seydoux regretted it, regretted being impulsive, and rejected too decisively, worried that AC Milan would not continue to offer.

However, when Seydoux saw the newspaper on the table, he regained his composure, and Reeves on the cover looked up to the sky and roared, showing domineering.

Seydoux felt that he was overly worried, and he believed that with Reeves' performance, there would be no sellers, and as the season progressed, offers from other clubs would definitely come in one after another, and AC Milan would continue to make offers. When the time comes, if you don't refuse, make a little heart-warming gesture, you will definitely be able to make the highest offer.

In the end, he showed the highest price offer to Reeves' father, and Seydoux thought that he would not be rejected.
