Chapter 667 - Summer Transfer (8)
PS: This is today's first update, and the 157,000 recommended plus more will be sent again in the evening. In addition, by the way, I would like to ask for a recommendation vote here, thank you......
For the club of Vicenza, Zhuang Mingge is not ready to treat it the same as Ajax, Monaco, Benfica and other clubs, which can be seen from the fact that Zhuang Mingge recommended to Vicenza not only those potential new stars, but also includes players like Onopko and Kanchelski, who are in their playing years.
The reason why Zhuang Mingge treats Vicenza so preferentially is that on the one hand, it has a lot to do with the league environment in which Vicenza is located, after all, Fiorentina and Vicenza are in the same Serie A league, so with Vicenza as a springboard, when these players come to Florence, there is naturally no problem in re-adapting to the style of the Serie A league.
On the other hand, Vicenza is different from other satellite clubs under Fiorentina's jurisdiction, like Ajax. Monaco, Benfica and even Anderlecht are all located in some of the largest cities in their respective countries, and the environment makes it impossible for them to live in the shadow of Fiorentina for so long. Once they have a chance to return to the top, these teams will definitely choose to part ways with Fiorentina, at most, to maintain a good diplomatic relationship with each other.
Vicenza, on the other hand, is a completely small city with a population of only 100,000 in the city, and such a size greatly limits the possibility of Vicenza developing into a big club. After all, all big clubs have one thing in common in terms of geography, and that is that they are located in at least large cities with populations of more than hundreds of thousands, because only a population of this size can provide a team with enough financial revenue and a fan base.
Vicenza, which obviously does not have this element, does not have the backing of a big patron like the Tanzi family, which means that it must maintain a long-term relationship with Fiorentina in exchange for more room to survive in Serie A.
When Zhuang Mingge spent a lot of effort to basically complete the new phase of player allocation, Batistuta's transfer has also entered the final stage.
Of the previous crowd of Fiorentina contenders for Barty, only Inter Milan and Lazio were the only two clubs to hold out to the end. Other teams, whether it is Real Madrid and Barcelona, the La Liga giants, Roma clamoring to compete with Lazio, or Manchester United who want to take advantage, have been scared away by the frantic bidding between Mozambique and Cragnotti.
I've never seen a player like this, like we want to bring in the players we want, we have always slowly increased the price a little, and at the same time racked our brains to lower the opposing team, how can there be a direct increase in the price of millions and millions like you two crazy people, for fear that others will not know that you have money - this is the voice of the representatives of other participating clubs when they withdraw from the bidding.
"We at Lazio are willing to pay $30 million in cash, plus Stankovic and Salas, to buy Batistuta with half ownership of both of them!" This is the first time Zhuang Mingge appeared at the negotiation site of Barty's transfer, and the Lazio owner Cragnoti, who also came to Florence, gave an offer, "Chairman Corleone, I think this offer is enough to show our sincerity in bringing in Barty, do you say?" ”
Hearing the chips offered by Cragnoti, Zhuang Mingge also had to be moved, Lazio just bought Yugoslav talented midfielder Stankovic for a huge sum of $20 million a few days ago is almost well known in Italy, and now the other party is willing to use half of the ownership of Stankovic and Salas, who became popular with his World Cup table, plus $30 million to trade Barty...... In this way, the price given by Lazio is about 45 million US dollars, which can really be regarded as a sky-high price.
Although he was not interested in Salas, who drove high and low in Italy, Zhuang Mingge, who was a traverser, was clear about Stankovic's ability. The attacking midfielder from Yugoslavia can be said to be a copy of the Czech ironman Nedved in a certain way, so even Zhuang Mingge can't help but be moved by the price given by Craniotti.
How could Craniotti, who has been fighting in the business world all year round, not notice the changes in Zhuang Mingge and know that his offer on his side has impressed the other party
Just when Craniotti was complacent about this change, Boss Mo finally made a move at this time!
The president of Inter Milan can be said to have done everything he can to bring in Barty, not only playing the favor card with Zhuang Mingge under the negotiation table, hoping that the other party can see the close cooperation between the two clubs in the transfer market for many years, and slightly favor his side; Moreover, Boss Mo has also expressed his love for the Argentine god of war many times in public, hoping that Barty can renew the edge with Robert Baggio and Djokaeff, two old teammates, in Milan City and lead Inter Milan to glory again!
Therefore, when Moratti found out that Zhuang Mingge actually began to be tempted by Lazio's offer, he once again proved the reason why he was called the "chairman of the fans": "Inter Milan is willing to pay a transfer fee of 45 million US dollars for Gabriel Batistuta!" ”
As soon as Moratti said this, everyone present was shocked. Because the first value in world football today is the Brazilian winger Denilson, who has just transferred for $34.6 million, so they will be surprised by Moratti's move, willing to pay so much transfer fee for a 29-year-old striker, which is enough to show that the Inter Milan owner attaches great importance to Batistuta!
Regarding the sky-high transfer fee given by Moratti, Cragnotti weighed his wallet and did not choose to continue to follow up, but maintained the original offer without making changes - after all, Lazio at this time has not yet received a lot of money through the Guò listing circle, and if he simply fights for his family, Cragnotti is not Moratti's opponent.
However, Zhuang Mingge, who had a hard time choosing between these two offers, finally decided to agree to the transfer offers of Inter Milan and Lazio at the same time, allowing them to send staff to negotiate personal treatment with Barty, and it depends on their respective abilities who can win the Argentine God of War in the end.
Although Batistuta entrusted all his transfer matters to Fiorentina for the protection of the club's interests, and only asked to notify him to negotiate the contract after deciding on his next home, Zhuang Mingge still felt that Barty should choose his preferred next home.
After all, Barty had dedicated the best years of his career to Fiorentina, so when he was about to leave, the Purple Lily had an obligation to give the former captain enough respect and let the god of war choose the team he wanted to join without infringing on the interests of the club!
