Chapter 359: Farewell (56/134)

At Nesta's behest, Morabito soon began negotiations with Lazio on a personal contract.

Because Nesta's contract with AC Milan is less than half a year away, he can do whatever he wants now.

He doesn't need to say hello to AC Milan in advance.

At the same time, both he and Lazio kept the matter a high degree of secrecy, so no one knew about the deal between them now.

AC Milan thought they could force Nesta to accept a pay cut.

In the eyes of Galliani and Allegri, Nesta is a good substitute, so although he is older, he can still be used as a substitute if he is willing to take a pay cut. Of course, if Nesta does not agree to a salary cut of 2.5 million euros, then just give him up.

Mex's will definitely come to AC Milan anyway. At this point, AC Milan have almost reached an agreement with AS Roma.

For the return to Lazio, Nesta was also very cooperative.

As a result, the contract between the two parties was signed very smoothly.

Because of the key terms, everyone has communicated on the phone before.

Now it's just a matter of putting it on paper.

It took almost only two days for the two sides to negotiate the contract completely.

All that's left is for the player to sign it.

Lotito will arrive in Milan with the text of the contract and then sign with Nesta.

The signing date is set after training – Nesta is injured but still has to go to AC Milan's training base every day for a therapeutic massage.

After the therapeutic massage, he went to Lotito to sign it.

With that, he will be a member of Lazio again from next season.

In Milaniro's parking lot, Nesta met the club's vice-president, Galliani, who had also just arrived.

Galliani saw Nesta greeting him.

Although the two of them were a little unhappy in the contract renewal negotiations, they still had a good personal relationship after working together in the past ten years.

But today is a little different.

Galliani said hello and joked with Nesta: "Alessandro, are you really not thinking about our new contract?" ”

He thought Nesta would reply to him with a joke.

Unexpectedly, Nesta's face changed suddenly, and he sneered: "A new contract with an annual salary of up to 2.5 million euros?" I'm sorry, Mr. Galliani. I'm a player who has won the Champions League and the World Cup, and if you can give a player like Mexes 4.5 million euros, then I really can't accept a salary of 2.5 million euros a year. ”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Leaving a Galliani in the parking lot felt inexplicable.

What's wrong with this Nesta today? Did you eat gunpowder?

Why such a big temper?

Before, everyone couldn't negotiate, so they wouldn't be so face-wrenching, right?

And Nesta is a moderate man, and being so tough today is really unexpected by Galliani.

How did things come to this?

Galliani was puzzled.

Of course, he would not have known that Nesta had already made a decision in his mind to leave AC Milan and return to Lazio.

Since he was going to return to Lazio, there was naturally no need to endure it.

The contract that AC Milan gave him was insulting to him.

He couldn't accept it, but he had been embarrassed before, and some things were hard to say.

Now he can say it with pleasure.

※※※

After Nesta had a massage in the treatment room, he hugged the therapist who was massaging him.

This is the physiotherapist who has been working at AC Milan for fifteen years, and has been working here since before Nesta came to AC Milan.

Nesta was also familiar with him. Because he has been injured a lot at AC Milan, as long as he is injured, it is this physiotherapist who is responsible for the physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

Nesta hugged him, which was also a goodbye.

The physiotherapist thought it was strange. Because Nesta used to chat with him at most after physiotherapy, but it was the first time that she came to him for a hug or something so actively.

He asked Nesta: "Is there anything going on, Alessandro?" ”

Nesta shook her head: "No, no. I just wanted to thank you, Alex. Every time I recover from an injury, it's you who give me a massage. ”

The physiotherapist waved his hand: "Isn't this my job?" You're so kind, Alessandro. ”

Nesta nodded: "People become sensitive after being injured. ”

He smiled goodbye to the physiotherapist.

Next, Nesta didn't just go to the parking lot and drove away.

If it were normal, he would have done it.

But today, extraordinary.

He walked straight to the team's training ground.

Everybody's still training.

Seeing his presence, Allegri greeted him, and Nesta nodded.

Then just stand on the sidelines and watch the training.

He suddenly missed everything here.

He has been here for 10 years, longer than he has been at the training ground for the first team of Lazio.

Sometimes, he will also be in a trance, in his own mind, whether Lazio or AC Milan is more important.

He has almost accepted the reality that he will retire as an AC Milan player, he feels that Lazio is his first love, and the first love is very beautiful, but in the end, it may not be the first love that can accompany you through your life.

So even when the contract renewal with AC Milan was at an impasse, he didn't think about Lazio. He is even considering whether to play in the Middle East and the United States.

If Lazio hadn't taken the initiative to find him......

Chang Sheng reached out to his agent, much to Nesta's delight.

Although he hadn't heard Lazio's voice for a long time, he still cared in his heart.

This shows that Lazio has not forgotten itself.

So when Lazio called him, he made a decision almost without hesitation.

He's going to Lazio, he's going to retire from the club that trained him.

For him, a native Roman, there was no better ending.

He looked at his teammates, some of whom had worked together for many years, and some of whom were newcomers.

But no matter what, when he leaves, he still has to thank his teammates and coaches at AC Milan, as well as the entire AC Milan club.

After all, he has defended many honours here, especially the Champions League.

During training, his teammates also took notice of Nesta.

In between trainings, they all came up to ask about Nesta's injury.

Nesta said it was no big deal and chatted with them.

Then, before training was about to restart, they said goodbye to Nesta, who called out to some of his best teammates and hugged them.

Nesta's sudden move took everyone by surprise.

"What's wrong, Alessandro?" Pirlo asked him.

Nesta shook her head and didn't say anything, just hugging.

Seeing him like this, Pirlo suddenly understood.

In fact, just think about his recent contract renewal.

Nesta may have made up her mind to leave AC Milan this time.

Thinking about his own experience, Pirlo was also silent.

His contract expires next year, and the club will not choose to renew his contract if it looks like this.

So today's Nesta is tomorrow's self.

So Pirlo hugged Nesta and whispered in his ear: "Good luck wherever you're going, Alessandro." ”

Nesta patted him on the back.

※※※

In fact, many people have now guessed what Alessandro is here for.

Still, there was something strange about them. The season isn't over yet, even if Alessandro is over. Nesta is out for a month due to injury, and he still has the rest of the game to play. You can't come and say goodbye to everyone so soon, can you?

Allegri watched Nesta's actions coldly from the side.

He also knew that Nesta had made a decision.

Leaving AC Milan.

To be honest, he has no regrets.

After Mex's arrival, he will be with Thiago. Silva formed a partner at the back. It doesn't matter if you want Nesta or not.

Nesta was a world-class centre-back before, but that was before.

Now he's old and always prone to injury. There is no way that such a player can reach a world-class level.

The team has to develop and look forward.

In the past few years, AC Milan has given the impression of recruiting all kinds of veterans and then letting them retire at AC Milan.

This can certainly win a good reputation of "human touch" in the minds of fans. But the team can't win the championship with a good reputation.

AC Milan has won five championships for many years, and since winning the Champions League in 2007, they have not won even one title, not to mention the Champions League, the league title, the Italian Cup, the Italian Super Cup...... None of these champions either.

In Allegri's view, this is the result of AC Milan's addiction to veterans.

In today's football world, it is already a world of body flow.

Look at Lazio, most of them are young players, young players have good physical strength and good physical fitness, so Lazio can dominate Italian football.

Allegri also intends to follow Lazio's example and win with physical strength.

In this way, it is necessary to abandon the veteran route.

The experience of a veteran is useful, but is it inexperienced for a player in his playing years?

For Nesta, of course, he respects.

But for the sake of the team, he has to sacrifice these veterans.

Nesta is no exception.

※※※

Nesta chose to leave after saying goodbye to his close teammates, and then he drove to sign a contract with Lotito.

Speaking of which, he was a little excited.

It's as if he had passed a trial with Lazio and became part of the Lazio club's academy.

Along the way, his car drove a little faster.

It's like a wanderer who is finally going back to his hometown.

In fact, there was still some time before he went home, and now he was just going to buy a ticket home......

But even so, it can already make him excited.

Furmelo training base, Stadio Olimpico in Rome......

These familiar names reappeared in his life.

The King of Rome is returning to his kingdom! (To be continued.) )
