Chapter 488: The Rise of the Transfer Market (3)

Incidentally, the agreement between Fiorentina and Ajax has an additional clause than the one with Monaco FC, which is that during the agreement, Fiorentina can pay Ajax a fee of US$5 million per year through Guò to obtain the right of first refusal for Ajax's players.

After signing this agreement, Ajax did not receive support from Fiorentina at the first time, but was first reclaimed by the other side, Inzaghi Jr. and Materazzi, two players who have been very good this season, which made Van Praag feel a little depressed.

Although depressed, Van Praag had no reason to blame Fiorentina. After all, the previous agreement between the two parties did not stipulate that the other party could not take back the players from them.

Since there were no violations, Van Praag could only watch the two main players of the team leave Ajax like this.

Materazzi and Inzaghi Jr. have been prepared for the way Materazzi and Inzaghi Jr. have been prepared for a long time.

Inzaghi's future was decided back in April, as he didn't want to return to Fiorentina to stay on the bench or stay out on loan. So when Fiorentina asked him about his future intentions, he didn't hesitate to opt for a permanent transfer, asking for a move to a club that would allow him to play.

Therefore, Fiorentina began to look for a suitable home for Inzaghi Jr. two months ago.

With his excellent performances at Ajax in the past two years, there are many teams pursuing Simeone Inzaghi, including giants or quasi-giants such as Juventus and Lazio who continue to excel as strikers.

Knowing the Bianconeri's lack of strikers, the old fox once again reached Fiorentina and made an $8 million offer for Inzaghi Jr. For Moji, who has always been budget-conscious, it is quite unusual for him to be willing to spend 8 million for a young player at this time.

It's just that Inzaghi Jr. himself has no plans to have anything to do with Juventus, and he thinks in his heart that going to the Bianconeri is not a good choice. After all, the difference between the relationship between Fiorentina and Juventus is known throughout Italy, from Baggio in 90 to Pesoto and Iulliano in 94, and then to Tacinadi last year, Fiorentina has been forcibly poached by Juventus in the past years, and even the top pillars of the deposit, it is impossible to say that there is no resentment.

Inzaghi has the consciousness of a professional footballer, but he doesn't want to try to play at the Frankie Stadium and be booed by tens of thousands of fans when he has other options.

Lazio have also expressed some interest in Inzaghi Jr., and after poaching Swede Eriksen from Sampdoria, Craniotti felt the need to take the initiative in the transfer market to show their support for the team's new manager.

After the failure of his pursuit of Vieri, the elder Hill placed the hope of strengthening the team's forward line on Inzaghi Jr., who believes that Atletico now need such a striker who can score a lot of goals.

After a fierce battle, the elder Hill managed to beat Lazio and snatch Inzaghi Jr. from the mouth of the Blue Eagles, and Atletico Madrid shelled out a full $12 million in cash for the younger brother of Philippe Inzaghi to bring the Italian striker to the Calderón Stadium.

Zhuang Mingge is very satisfied with this transfer, in his opinion, the value of Inzaghi Jr. in the hands of Fiorentina has reached its peak, and if he does not make a move, his value will only get lower and lower. Now is the most opportune time to choose to sell it.

As for Materazzi, after a season at Ajax, he chose to stay in the team, determined to start as a substitute at Fiorentina and gradually accumulate his experience and improve his ability.

The main reason why Materazzi chose to stay is that the original backup central defender Wiljovod decided to leave the club this summer, and Fiorentina will still have to compete for glory in the Champions League, league and Coppa Italia next season. Therefore, if Fiorentina remain with only three regular centre-backs after Virjovod's departure, even if they are only substitutes, Materazzi will not have too many opportunities to play.

As for Viljovod, who decided to leave at the end of the season, after getting permission from Fiorentina, the veteran began to look for a home willing to accept him and guarantee a place in the main team.

At the same time, at the behest of Zhuang Mingge, Fiorentina FC decided not to put any obstacles in the way of Verjoward's departure, and would not charge even a transfer fee of one dollar.

The veteran has already won a number of trophies during his years as a substitute at Fiorentina, so now Viljovod intends to play a few more games towards the end of his career and enjoy football.

Eventually, after some careful selection, Viljoward and Vicenza, who qualify for next season's European Cup Winners' Cup, came to an agreement, with Guidolin hoping that Viljoward's arrival would bring valuable experience to the young squad and make the squad a little more solid at the back.

In addition, Djokaeau, who is also confirmed to leave this summer, has signed a contract with Inter Milan and has once again been generous with Moratti in a bid to revive the Nerazzurri, shelling out $18 million for the current France international.

In the battle for Danish winger Glen Shire, Chelsea manager Ruud Gullitt made full use of the contacts he had accumulated in Italy to defeat Alex Ferguson, who wanted to find a reliable replacement for David Beckham, and won the Dane for $5 million.

Although the price is not very high, it is also relatively speaking, and for Glen Char, a player who has not played much for Fiorentina this season, he can sell for this price thanks to the Dane's good performance in the limited number of appearances, and of course, some of the factors that Manchester United have raised the price on the side.

Verjoward, Inzaghi Jr., Djokaff, Glenschal...... Fiorentina have sold four players in June, earning a whopping $30 million in cash from the transfers.

Although the whereabouts of these players have been determined, they cannot report to their new owners immediately, because it is still June, the summer transfer window has not yet opened, and all transfers must wait until July 1 before they can be reported to the home national football association and recorded, and after completing this final formality, the player can be considered a successful transfer.

Fiorentina's summer transfer campaign is well underway.
