Chapter 642: Before the World Cup (1)

PS: First of all, I would like to ask you for a recommendation vote......

Fiorentina have been moving quickly in the transfer market after confirming their targets, and with only a week to go before the Champions League final is over, Fiorentina, who have just completed their third consecutive Champions League title, have announced a series of transfer deals one after another.

The first was Rui Costa, who announced his departure from Fiorentina, and the news that the Portuguese was listed for sale immediately caused a rush among the teams, especially Bayern Munich, who had just poached Effenberg and failed. Heathfield, who has already confirmed that he will coach Bayern Munich next season, has told Hoeness countless times that he needs a real playmaker, and Rui Costa, who has been a playmaker, fits that very well.

So Hoeness, who got the news, immediately made an offer of 15 million US dollars to Fiorentina, and at the same time, in order to show his sincerity, he even flew to Fiorentina overnight before the transfer progressed, intending to have an in-depth negotiation with Florence on the transfer of Costa.

Zhuang Mingge naturally knows the purpose of Hoeness's trip, after all, Bayern Munich's transfer offer for Costa is now in front of him: "Fifteen million dollars want to take Costa away?" Has Hoeness been dominating Germany for so long that he doesn't even know the market? ”

"That's right, a midfielder from a top-tier organization like Costa is worth more than $15 million." Poirot, who is calculating, said, "Last year, Djokaeff went to Inter Milan for a transfer fee of 18 million US dollars, and Costa's price cannot be lower than this!" ”

"Hercule, you're in charge of this, and you should know what to do if the other side doesn't want to pay a high price. Don't worry about my friendship with Beckenbauer, this time it was Hoeness who came to negotiate, which means that Franz didn't want to get involved in the deal...... I mean, you get the idea, right? ”

"I see, boss." Poirot nodded, then exited Zhuang Mingge's office and hurried to the airport to greet the visiting Hoeness.

In this way, Hoeness, who rushed to Florence, didn't even see the shadow of Zhuang Mingge, and was dragged to the negotiating table by Poirot, who came to greet him.

At the beginning of the negotiations, there was a bit of tension between Hoeness and Poirot - both of them were the kind of people who could break a penny in half, and it was natural that there would be friction.

"$30 million?!" Hearing the price offered by Poirot, Hoeness was so angry that he almost got up and said, "This is a world record value, and it is absolutely impossible for us at Bayern to accept the introduction of a player who is not the absolute main player in Fiorentina at such a price!" So I sincerely hope that you will take this offer seriously, and fifteen million dollars is a very fair price. ”

Facing the angry Hoeness, Poirot was not moved at all, sitting at the other end of the conference table, he looked at the Bayern general manager very calmly, and said: "Yuri Djokaeff is not our absolute main force, but his transfer to Inter Milan last year was worth 18 million, so Costa, who is stronger than Djokaeff in terms of ability, will definitely not be lower than this price...... Well, for $25 million, the Portuguese will be yours. ”

The stingy Hoeness immediately quit when he heard that Costa actually cost 25 million US dollars, you must know that under his management, Bayern did not have a player's transfer fee of more than 20 million until 2007, and now let him pay so much money to buy a striker at this time? There are no doors!

However, although Bayern Munich can often bring in good players in Germany at a lower price than other competitors, in Italy, where Bayern's sphere of influence is simply unreachable, Hoeness's approach of dominating others and then taking advantage of others is obviously not successful.

Especially when Beckenbauer repeatedly admonished him to maintain good relations with Florence, Hoeness did not dare to use small means, so as not to provoke Florence.

Because Hoeness was in a very passive situation from the beginning, when Poirot "inadvertently" revealed that Real Madrid and Inter Milan were also interested in Costa, Hoenesson, who had been biting the $15 million price, was intimidated.

Hoeness knows very well in his heart that if he didn't get Effenberg before, it can be said that Fiorentina will not let go to reply to Heathfield, but if Costa, who has been confirmed to leave Fiorentina, becomes a player from other teams, then he will really lose face in the club - a general manager who can't even meet the basic requirements of the head coach, even if he can make money? Bayern is the face of German football, and what is most needed is excellent results, not how much profit can be made every year.

In the end, after some difficult bargaining, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the price of $20 million, which marked the official countdown to Costa's time in Florence.

While Costa and Bayern were negotiating a personal package, Poirot was not idle, but began to bring in players from the shortlist.

Finland international Sami Hyypia moved from Willem II FC for $4 million, Monaco sold main defender Claude Makelele to the Purple Lilies for $6 million, and Ljungberg, who didn't get much chance at Ajax, joined Fiorentina for $3.5 million. At the same time, Fiorentina also announced on their official website that the club will recall Di Natale and Andrea Pirlo, two young players who have been quite good this season, in the summer, and next season Purple Lily fans will see the two youngsters wearing purple shirts at the Frankie Stadium.

As a result, in just a week after the Champions Cup final, Fiorentina broke a series of heavy news in the transfer market: first, midfielder Rui Costa transferred to Bayern Munich for 20 million US dollars, and then the purple lily used this huge amount of money to sign five people in a row, which is quite a big vote in the transfer market.

At the same time, the managers of other teams are still waiting to coax the stars that have emerged in the World Cup, so when they notice Fiorentina's move to stir up trouble in the transfer market, they are all very surprised: I will go, don't they plan to see if there are any good goods in the World Cup before making a move, but they can't wait to start the action?!

Maybe this kind of thing may be hesitant for others, but for Zhuang Mingge, a traverser, no matter how good the player's performance in the World Cup and European Cup is, it is useless, and only those players who have proved themselves in their previous lives have the value of introduction.

In this way, under the suspicious gaze of the outside world, Fiorentina still started the process of changing the team in an orderly manner according to the established pace!
