PS1: Today's update is sent, I hope you don't care too much about the update time, and I wish you a happy new year......

PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

Many people were surprised that Lazio and Fiorentina, two clubs that are not bad for money, would be at an impasse in negotiations over a transfer fee over a deal for Deco.

In fact, the reason for this situation is that, on the one hand, Poirot, who was in charge of the negotiation work on behalf of Florence, received an instruction from Andingnioni to "slaughter Lazio with a knife", and naturally he had to follow this instruction to negotiate with the Lazio side. On the other hand, it is because although Abou himself did not set a cap on Lazio's transfer budget, Mancini and Begiristan, who are responsible for the specific implementation, did not spend lavishly because of this, but helped the team to save as much as possible within their means.

After all, neither Mancini nor Begiristan wanted Lazio to be portrayed as a wronged leader. Because once this impression is formed and fixed in people's minds, then Lazio may spend a considerable price to buy people in the future, which is very detrimental to the future development of the team.

For example, in the previous life, Chelsea, although they relied on Abu's financial support to create a very effective iron army, but I have to say that in the transfer of many players, Chelsea at that time paid at least 30% to 50% higher than the normal market price!

Although Begiristan and Mancini were not time-travelers and did not know what was happening in the other world, that did not prevent them from trying to prevent this from happening to Lazio. After all, they are now employees of Lazio and naturally have to think seriously about the future and image of the club.

The impasse didn't bother the two clubs for long, though. It didn't take long for a new order from Roman Abramovich to change the situation, asking Mancini and Begiristan not to care about the price Lazio had to pay for this transfer, and at the same time to get Deco's transfer done as soon as possible!

After all, it was Lazio who broke the rules first in Deco's transfer, and if Fiorentina was not compensated in a certain amount of transfer fees, then Lazio who broke the rules would not be recorded by Fiorentina and left for liquidation in the future.

Seeing that the big boss personally expressed his attitude on this matter, Mancini and Begiristan, who originally planned to save the club's transfer budget on the Deco deal, immediately reopened transfer negotiations with Fiorentina. Without the need to stick to the $20 million ceiling, the negotiations between the two sides have naturally made great progress.

Eventually, after a not-so-heated debate and finalizing the details, the two clubs agreed on the deal: Lazio FC will bring in Fiorentina midfielder Anderson Deco for $30 million, including $26 million in cash, which Lazio will pay Fiorentina in a lump sum when the transfer is completed; As for the remaining $4 million, Lazio is ready to offset the cost with veteran Diego Simeone.

Both the players involved and the clubs are quite satisfied with the deal. Needless to say, Simeone, who was sent to Fiorentina as an add-on to the deal, was also delighted that he was able to join such a top club in the twilight of his career; Lazio once again had a first-class playmaker after Veron's departure, and they upgraded their squad; Fiorentina, on the other hand, minimised the losses caused by Deco's departure, while gaining an experienced veteran Simeone to strengthen the team's bench depth.

In fact, as Fiorentina's main midfielder and new Italian international who won the double this season, Deco's price could have been a little higher. However, it is a pity that Deco and Fiorentina have only one year left on their contract, and Fiorentina will naturally not be able to complete the contract renewal with the player when he clearly wants to leave. In this way, Deco's value has naturally been suppressed.

After securing the Deco trade and taking Simeone into the bag, Zhuang Mingge focused on strengthening the second team's lineup. After all, the Fiorentina first team did not have a lot of recruitment work this summer, and after the promotion of several young players such as Ribery and De Rossi to the first team, plus Simeone, a veteran, Fiorentina's first team has been declared full. If they are to make changes or reinforcements to their squad, they will need to clear space in the first team before they can take the next step.

For Zhuang Mingge, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to strengthen the Fiorentina second team than it was when the Purple Lilies were rebuilt a decade ago. Because it is different from back then, this is a team that is destined to only mix in the second division, and considering that the main role of the second team is to help the first team develop players, this makes Zhuang Mingge have to spend more brain cells and time to find qualified players.

While Zhuang Mingge was thinking about how to strengthen the second team, Abramovich used a lot of rubles to help Lazio win one goal after another in the transfer market, so that the strength of the Blue Eagles increased at a jaw-dropping speed.

It has to be said that Deco's arrival seems to have triggered a huge chain reaction, and those players who were still a little hesitant under Lazio's recruitment have agreed to the contracts offered by the other party after learning the news and become part of the Blue Eagles.

You must know that although due to the influence of factors such as appearance, style and personality, Deco in this life is still not comparable to Pirlo and Ballack in terms of fame, but as a member of the main team of Fiorentina, Redondo's natural successor after aging, Deco's strength is recognized by most professionals. Therefore, after Deco announced his transfer to Lazio, many stars let go of their hesitations, because in their opinion, even if Lazio with Deco in charge performs badly, I am afraid it will not be much worse.

As a result, Ronaldinho, the only member of the 3R group who did not land in the four major leagues, transferred from Paris Saint-Germain for $40 million, and Didier Drogba, an Ivory Coast international who plays for Monaco, also wore the blue eagle shirt under the call of the ruble...... These stars who are well-known in European football have become the trophies of Lazio during this time.

It is foreseeable that with Lazio's recruitment spree, this summer of European football is not destined to be calm.
