Chapter 524: When the Plan Proceeds (7)

Putting away his notebook, Spalletti was hopeful about his managerial prospects at Monaco – with so many potential newcomers joining the team, he wouldn't have the shame to continue here if he didn't get good results.

Wait and see! I must make everyone realize that I am capable of being no worse than Arsene Wenger's attacking Frenchman! Spalletti was secretly ruthless and determined to make a difference in Monaco as a stepping stone to further development.

Spalletti's small calculation also proves from another aspect that a club like Monaco, which has sold the main team in successive years, can only be called a strong team at most if it does not change its way of doing business, and will never become a real giant, even if it joins the G14 alliance, which symbolizes the interests of European giants.

The day after the exchange between Zhuang Mingge and Spalletti, Capello led the Fiorentina first team to Monaco in a warm-up match at the Stade Louis II.

Although Baia, who has just joined Monaco, showed good quality in the game, blocking many dangerous shots from Fiorentina players in the game, due to Monaco's serious blood loss this summer, the first team is incomplete, and some newcomers have not fully integrated into the team, so that Spalletti's team has a lot of holes in both attack and defense.

In the end, thanks to a brace from Inzaghi and a header from Vieri, Fiorentina won comfortably 3-0 at the Stade Louis II and secured a victory.

Monaco, who received guidance from Zhuang Mingge, immediately went into action, and the Ligue 1 powerhouse surprisingly set off a storm of signings in the transfer market in August.

Roten, Galla, Silvestre, Dorasso and Zim Bonda were among the first to announce their arrival at Monaco. In the face of the Monaco's poaching, small clubs like Caen and Le Havre were powerless to stop the players from leaving, so they could only obediently accept a transfer fee that satisfied them and send the players to Monaco.

Miku's move was a bit of a problem, with Bordeaux initially reluctant to hand the midfield to their league rivals, forcing Spalletti to turn to the club's hierarchy for help.

Although the Monaco executives, who have made a lot of money by selling a large number of the team's main players this summer, they are still in their heads, and they know that if they want to do this kind of good thing, they must pay attention to sustainability, otherwise the team will not do well and their players will not be able to sell for money.

Listening to the new coach of the team, this Miku is still recommended by the Fiorentina president? That's great! With that person's recommendation, it means that the player named Miku must have a very good ability, and he will definitely earn a lot of money after two years of training.

Not only can you hit competitors, but you can also make a lot of money when the time comes, and such a good thing will not be done by fools!

Realizing this, the Monaco club happily allocated Spalletti a transfer fund, which was enough for Bordeaux, who was worried about finances, to give Miku both hands.

And so it was, Spalletti slapped a check for $4.5 million on the table, and Bordeaux had to agree to sell the team's organizational core to Monaco - Monaco was poor but had no financial problems; Bordeaux is different, in order to win the championship in recent years, the team's current financial situation is not very good, and it is easy to fall into a financial crisis if you are not careful.

While Monaco was stirring up trouble in the transfer market, there was also good news from Spain, where Zhuang Mingge was reluctant to give up: under the matchmaking of Redondo's father-in-law, Jorge Solari, La Liga relegation club Tenerife decided to reach a certain level of partnership with Fiorentina.

After a long and arduous negotiation between Kenyon and Tenerife, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the cooperation: when Fiorentina chooses to sell the player to Tenerife, they can set a buyback clause in the transfer agreement, and the specific amount of the buyback will be agreed by the two clubs; If Tenerife sells a player with a buy-back clause to another club, Fiorentina will receive 20% of the player's transfer profits, or one-fifth.

Tenerife did not want to agree to a buy-back clause and, in their view, would be detrimental to Tenerife's interests.

But at this time, Kenyon said a sentence that made Tenerife a little moved: "With the support of Fiorentina and the vision of our Mr. President, does Tenerife still need to worry about not having good players to rely on in the future?" ”

Although Tenerife was able to reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup last season under the direction of Heynckes, they also finished ninth in the league. But with the team's coach Heynckes poached by Real Madrid this summer, some of the team's main players who performed well were also taken away by other teams with high salaries**.

All in all, Tenerife has faced quite a tough situation this season. Tenerife's hierarchy also saw this very well, and did not get complacent because of last season's impressive performance, but set the team's goal for this season in the summer to fight for relegation in La Liga.

Therefore, when Kenyon points this out, it is obviously impossible for Tenerife to say that he is not impressed.

Fiorentina, as the current European hegemon, must have a lot of good players in the team, but these people can't all get enough opportunities to play in the first team, as long as the opponent leaks one or two from the fingers for themselves, then the team's relegation probability should be greatly increased.

This is the wishful thinking of Tenerife's side. Although it may sound like this club is spineless, this is how the small clubs with no money and no power survive after the Boseman era, which is quite realistic.

Otherwise, the team is likely to suffer relegation.

Either way, staying in the top flight means that the team is more attractive to players who are still playing in the lower leagues, and is significantly higher than the lower leagues in terms of broadcast revenue, ticket revenue and other commercial income.

That's why so many small and medium-sized balls will not hesitate to spend their money and squeeze their heads to stay in the top league. Because for them, successful relegation means that they can get a lot of income; Downgrading, means having nothing.

Therefore, after some urgent internal discussions, the Tenerife side finally decided to agree to Kenyon's harsh conditions and signed the cooperation agreement.

In this way, under the fan of Zhuang Mingge's little butterfly, the buyback clause appeared in European football for the first time, nearly ten years earlier than when Real Madrid first proposed this clause in the previous life.
