Galliani's sudden visit made Moratti, who had just finalized Kanu, have no time to celebrate, and hurriedly went to Kluivert to negotiate the terms of joining Inter Milan.

And it is not only Serie A teams that are eyeing the fertile land of football in the Netherlands.

On the day of Galliani's arrival in Amsterdam, the English side, who had been keen to regain their voice in European football, also took their own initiative. It's just that they don't target the big clubs, because they know very well that the Premier League teams are not as attractive as those Serie A teams, so the Premier League managers have focused on the second- and third-rate clubs in the Dutch league.

This time, the Premier League clubs, which have formed a rope and fought in the form of legions, launched a frenzied acquisition operation in the Netherlands, the paradise of European football, and on July 23 alone, more than a dozen players who played in clubs other than the three giants of the Eredivisie threw themselves into the arms of the Premier League on free transfers. However, such a loss seems to be barely bearable for these small clubs, after all, there is a most unlucky big brother Ajax in front of them......

After a night's rest at the local hotel in Eindhoven, the energetic Zhuang Mingge met with Frank Arnesen, the general manager of the Eindhoven club, in his hotel room early the next morning.

Although Arneson, who was not yet 39 years old at this time, has become the general manager of the Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven, he is obviously far from the unscrupulous "domineering" of later generations in order to poach a player, and his tone is still very gentle, of course, this may also be related to Zhuang Mingge's identity.

"President Corleone, I called Ronaldo yesterday and he is still on holiday in Brazil, but he is very happy to be joining a club with a lot of promise in Fiorentina, so as long as the contract you offer him is satisfactory and the transfer fee can be agreed upon, the deal will go through."

'Did Ronaldo know that we had Batistuta in the first team of Fiorentina? Inzaghi and a whole bunch of other strikers? After the "Seedorf incident", Zhuang Mingge did not have much hope for the introduction of Ronaldo, and this time he came to Eindhoven purely with the attitude of giving it a try, but he did not expect Ronaldo himself to be quite enthusiastic about joining Fiorentina.

"Of course Ronnie (Ronaldo's nickname) knows it, Fiorentina is in the limelight this year, how could he not notice it?" Arneson smiled disapprerovingly and said, "Winning both the league and the European Cup Winners' Cup as a promoted team in Serie A is not something that ordinary teams can do. ”

"Batistuta, Inzaghi and Montella, who broke the curse of 30 goals in Serie A, are all excellent strikers, plus you have already settled on Roberto Baggio...... I think when Ronny goes to Florence, he's going to have a lot of competitive pressure. Arneson took a sip of his coffee and continued, "Personally, I think Ronnie is very confident that he can find a place in the Fiorentina first team, so he doesn't care who his rivals are. ”

Zhuang Mingge feels that Arneson's analysis is very reliable, thinking about the later generations when Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri's forward line is also overcrowded: Vieri, Recoba, Baggio, Zamorano...... But as long as Ronaldo is allowed to play, he will definitely play in the game, and no big name player can take his place.

Perhaps it is because Ronaldo is so confident in his own abilities that he has no problem with joining the highly competitive Fiorentina.

Having solved the doubts about Ronaldo, it is naturally time for the two sides to bargain.

"$8 million, a lump sum." Zhuang Mingge still does not change his nature and wants to take advantage.

"It's an offer we can't accept, Chairman Corleone." Arneson also entered the negotiation mode, "Ronaldo scored 30 goals in the Eredivisie last season, which is a feat that only Basten has achieved in the last 10 years in the Netherlands, do you know what I mean? ”

"But let's not forget that Italy and the Netherlands are not at the same level at all, and Bergkamp, the top scorer in the Eredivisie who came to Italy last time, did not play very well in Serie A." Zhuang Mingge immediately raised objections.

"We all know what Dennis's (Bergkamp) ability is, just look at his performance in the Shijie Cup last year, he is definitely not a parallel import, and the reason why he does not perform well in Serie A can only be said that Inter Milan has completely wrong positioning him, 20 million US dollars."

"But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that Bergkamp did not adapt to Serie A, Moratti sold him to Arsenal for almost a cabbage price last month, and similarly, we at Fiorentina have to take the risk of bringing in Ronaldo, $10 million."

"Ajax sold Basten to AC Milan for $3 million, and Ajax was the laughing stock of European football for many years afterward." Arneson also quoted scriptures and did not give an inch, "For $18 million, Florence can take Ronnie." ”

In this way, after the end of the bargaining process between the two sides, an agreement was finally reached on the issue of transfer fees: Fiorentina will bring in Ronaldo for a club-record price of $17.5 million, and the deal will be completed only after the Brazilian striker signs his name on the contract.

To be honest, Zhuang Mingge's choice of this time to bring in Ronaldo is very correct, because at this time, most of the giants who want to bring in strikers are chasing Kluivert, who defeated European hegemony AC Milan in the Champions Cup final, and Liberian striker George Weah, who has performed well in the Champions Cup, and Premier League clubs are paying attention to homegrown center Alan Shearer.

Zhuang Mingge would also like to thank Milan here, if it weren't for the strength and dominance they have shown in all competitions in recent years, otherwise Ajax's unceremonious upset of Milan in the final this time would not have brought them such a high popularity and attention, making Ronaldo, the top scorer in the Eredivisie, completely overshadowed by Ajax.

When everyone's eyes were on Ajax's free agents, Zhuang Mingge quietly signed one of the greatest strikers in the future Shijie, and also created the most terrifying forward group in Europe in the future.
