Eventually, after two hours of bargaining, Zhuang Mingge and Francesca reached an agreement on Buffon's transfer.

Fiorentina will bring in their main goalkeeper Gian Luigi Buffon from Parma for $50 million, with De Sanctis sent to Parma as part of the transfer to offset a transfer fee of about $5 million.

Zhuang Mingge is very happy to be able to win Gianluigi Buffon, and after winning the top Italian goal, Fiorentina will not have to worry about the goalkeeper position for the next 12 years. After all, Gianluigi Buffon has proven in his previous life that he is not the kind of player who loses his motivation to play after winning a lot of honours.

As for who will fill the vacancy left by De Sanctis's departure, Zhuang Mingge has already had a draft and has thought of several good candidates. For example, Chelsea's De Howye, the former Dutch international has been robbed of his place in the main team by Judy Cudicini this season, and Chelsea are also interested in purging him out to save a lot of money. So, if Fiorentina extend an olive branch to De Huye, the Dutchman, who is about to turn 34, might agree to join Purple Lily as Buffon's replacement for a pension and championship honours.

In addition, Lazio's main goalkeeper Maciegiani and Vicenza goalkeeper Balotta, two veterans, are also on the list of reinforcements listed by Zhuang Mingge. Although the former is the absolute main force of the Blue Eagles to win the league championship this season, Craniotti is negotiating with Inter Milan to bring in Peruzzi at this time, so it is only a matter of time before Maciegiani, who is not dominant in ability and age, is demoted to the bench; The 36-year-old will be hoping to decorate his book of honour with a few trophies in the final years of his career, and Fiorentina will not have much difficulty bringing in the veteran.

The only young player on the shortlist, 19-year-old Ivan Pellizzoli may not have as much experience as the previous three, but his goalkeeping talent has been recognised by Fiorentina's scouting department and is therefore included in the list.

While for many, it is best to pick veterans who are experienced and not demanding minutes when it comes to bringing in a backup goalkeeper, Zhuang Mingge clearly does not attach much importance to this tradition. In his opinion, energetic and motivated young people are also capable of playing this role. Besides, let's not forget that the Fiorentina second team is still lacking a starting goalkeeper, and Pellizzoli, who played in Trieste in the second league last season, is a good choice to send him to the second team to be trained even if he can't get a foothold in the first team.

Francesca is also satisfied that such a big deal can be negotiated, because in this way, Parma not only earned back a full $45 million in cash through the transfer of Guò Buffon, which eased the financial pressure on his side, but also got De Sanctis, a young goalkeeper with good potential, to reduce his losses in the maximum amount of time, and no longer need to look for a replacement for Buffon in the goalkeeper position.

No matter what era you put it in, $50 million is a lot of money, even if the transfer fee in European football has been rising in the past two years. And, although there are many teams willing to spend a lot of money on their favorite players, Fiorentina is probably the only one willing to pay a $50 million transfer fee for a goalkeeper.

Buffon, who was packing up at home for a vacation, was silent for a moment after receiving the notice from Parma, and then rushed to the headquarters of Parma with his agent to meet with Zhuang Mingge, who was waiting there, about his personal wishes and treatment.

After all, in this era of the Bosman Act, if you want to complete a transfer, you must get the approval of the player himself, otherwise, even if the two teams talk well, it will not help. And this is what Zhuang Mingge is most worried about, he is afraid that Buffon's head is hot and wants to learn from Maldini and Baresi, and stay in Parma as a loyal minister, then Zhuang Mingge will want to cry without tears.

Fortunately, it turns out that Zhuang Mingge's worries are superfluous, and Buffon, who has debuted for more than four years but has not won any heavyweight honors, also has plans to change the environment, like Florence, the top giants who have been in the limelight in recent years and won the championship are exactly what he wants to join the most. Therefore, when Buffon saw that the team had reached an agreement with Fiorentina on the issue of transfer fees, and the price of 50 million US dollars was enough to reflect his status in Fiorentina, he immediately nodded and agreed to the deal!

After some negotiations with Zhuang Mingge about his personal status and treatment, Buffon soon expressed his willingness to join Fiorentina and signed his name on a five-year contract with an annual salary of $3 million!

This also means that as long as Parma can deal with De Sanctis's contract in the future, then when the summer transfer door opens, Fiorentina and Parma report the deal to the Italian Football Federation for the record, and Buffon can play as a member of Fiorentina next season!

By the way, at the request of Zhuang Mingge, the news of Buffon's transfer to Fiorentina was not immediately announced, but was temporarily concealed. After all, for Fiorentina, if other teams knew that Buffon had been taken by them, then when they sold Toldo, they would be in a passive position in the negotiations! Because these clubs who are interested in Toldo also know in their hearts that in order to maintain the stability of the team's dressing room, Fiorentina, who has signed Buffon, must do their best to clean up Toldo, who will not accept the position of substitute!

In this way, no matter how strong Toldo's strength is, Fiorentina may not be able to sell it for a good price.

In this football circle, no one is stupid, even those actions that are stupid in the eyes of outsiders actually have a reason for their occurrence. Therefore, in order to ensure that Fiorentina can maximize the benefits of Toldo's transfer, Zhuang Mingge must hide the news of Buffon's joining Fiorentina!

After learning that Gianluigi Buffon had confirmed his move to Fiorentina, Toldo did not immediately announce his intention to leave Fiorentina, but was clever enough to remain silent - he intends to come up with a convincing report card in the upcoming European Championship to attract more teams to join the competition for him, and can also fight for better treatment for himself in the next contract negotiations.

At the same time, Zhuang Mingge, who got Buffon, handed over the rest of the finishing work to the accompanying Fiorentina staff, and took Karin and Groz Jr. to Brussels, the capital of Belgium, to welcome the upcoming European Cup!
