Chapter 6: All Can Be Sold!

"Next, let's look at the recruitment plan for this summer window."

The meeting moved on to a new topic, and Galliani stood up:

"First of all, I would like to give you a brief update on the departure of important players this season, as well as some intentional offers."

"Jankulovsky decided to retire."

"Andrea Pirlo, a free transfer has been confirmed for Juventus."

"Borriello was originally on loan at Roma and now they are going to bid 10 million euros for a buyout."

"Genoa offers 4 million for Papastathopoulos."

"Another ......"

As he spoke, Galliani suddenly looked up at Pan Yi:

"Juventus offers 40 million for Pato."

And this time, the conference room exploded.

"Juventus is trying to dig our future directly?"

"As a direct competitor, we will never sell Pato to them!"

"yes, he's the heart of our team."

"Now that we have so many veterans in the squad, how can we still sell young players? Just kidding! ”

"40 million? 80 million is about the same! ”

"yes......"

Galliani clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then looked at Pan Yi with deep meaning: "What do you think?" ”

Pan Yi's mind quickly reviewed Milan's development trajectory after 2011, and then quickly understood Galliani's current thoughts.

Don't look at the bald head who didn't say a word in the back of the interview that day, it seems that he should have received an offer for Pato by that time, and was studying its feasibility.

And Pan Yi's analysis of Pato may also make Galliani want to sell this high-priced item even more.

Because in this way, whether from the economic or tactical point of view, it is a winning side, so that he has no worries.

Galliani, unlike Allegri, doesn't judge players directly on the pitch, but rather on a financial perspective of whether a deal is going to take place.

And now, Milan's club business has actually started to deteriorate.

Last season's championship was actually a kind of refreshment!

In the following season, AC Milan will be second in the standings behind Juventus.

Then, many of Milan's veterans will leave, including Inzaghi, Seedorf, Gattuso, Ambrosini...... Wait a minute.

What made the team even more staggering was the sale of captain Thiago Silva and number one star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

With the loss of two pillars of players, one before and one behind, everyone from coach Allegri to the fans was a little caught off guard.

The practice of selling blood for money is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst, and Aquilani's precise control of 24.5 games without buyouts has also become a joke.

From this moment on, AC Milan entered the visa-free era of Galliani riding a bicycle to find a giant swill, and his results once fell to about ten, and he couldn't even enter the European competition......

It wasn't until 2022 that Milan regained the league title after a long absence.

It's been 11 years! The originally proud Milan fans began to call themselves "rice hangers" one by one, which shows how poor AC Milan is.

Pan Yi looks back and thinks that if he cashes out the embarrassing players in the team from now on, he may be able to maintain the core framework for Milan and be competitive in the next few years.

And Pato is obviously the most valuable of them.

"I think I can sell it." Pan Yi said, "It's not just Pato. If someone offers Robinho, Cassano, the same can be sold. ”

Robinho, who is also from Brazil like Pato, has also seen a sharp decline in form since the beginning of this year, and may have scored around five goals in the following season.

He also likes all kinds of single-knife insolence, and is considered the representative of the first generation of "Happy Boys", and when he is his coach, he must also be prepared for a quick-acting heart-saving pill.

Cassano, on the other hand, has been able to provide good assists and goals from time to time, but he has serious heart problems and will miss most of the season this year.

Moreover, he has the nickname "Bad Boy" and has an eccentric temper, and will eventually break out with Allegri and eventually leave the team.

Keeping such a powder keg will not help the team's locker room atmosphere, and it is better to sell it directly.

In fact, in the 2011-2012 season, which Pan Yi knew in his previous life, AC Milan's offensive line was basically supported by Ibrahimovic, and others really didn't help much.

Including Da Boateng, and later Nocerino, he played well because of Ibrahimovic, a god with his own system.

So much so that after Ibrahimovic left, these players were all exposed in their original form, and there was no hope at all.

But now hearing Pan Yi say this, everyone in the conference room couldn't sit still, and criticized one after another:

"All sold? We have all these strikers, and if we sell them all, who will play? Inzaghi, he's 38 years old this year! It's not the Super Pippo of the year! ”

"Since Cassano joined our team, his performance has been okay."

'Not to mention Pato and Robinho, who both scored as many goals as Ibrahimovic last season.

"Yes, they still have to sell for such a performance, should Ievee also sell it?"

"This young man really doesn't know what the sky is, and he talks nonsense when he comes......"

At this time, Allegri, the head coach who had been silent, said:

"Do you propose to sell these strikers, is there any alternative?"

He also has points in his heart about the current state of his players.

Cassano, in particular, also felt that keeping such a guy would be a negative effect on the team.

But the problem is that if they are really sold as Pan Yi said, there will only be Ibrahimovic and Inzaghi left on the forward line.

Ibrahimovic is okay, Inzaghi is about to retire, at most he is a substitute, and he can be used as a surprise soldier, and he can't be regarded as a regular combat force at all.

If Ibrahimovic gets injured or something, how can he still kick it?

So Allegri wanted to hear Pan Yi's opinion.

Since he dared to mention it, he should have a favorite replacement player in his heart.

Then Allegri heard Pan Yi say, "I want to hear the scouting report first." ”

In Pan Yi's heart, of course, there are countless candidates for powerful players.

Unlike seeing a high-potential demon in FM games, there is a certain chance that he can't practice, what he wants must be a star who has been tested by time in his previous life and can really stand alone!

However, if he directly threw out a few names that everyone had never heard of at this time, it would be too unbelievable, after all, he was just a recent graduate of the international student, and he was not a professional scout.

Therefore, Pan Yi decided to listen to the scout's report first, and then choose the names he was familiar with.

With a big club like AC Milan and a scouting network all over the world, many players will be scouted.

So, at the signal of Galliani, the chief scout Serginho began to speak.

The former Brazilian midfielder spent almost a decade with AC Milan before remaining at the club as a scout after retiring.

SergiΓ±o says:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the list of players we have inspected has just been distributed to everyone, you can take a look at it first."

"In addition to the already identified buyouts of Ibrahimovic and Boateng, who were on loan from our team last season, I would recommend focusing on the following objectives:"

"The young striker of Genoa, El Shaarawy. A transfer fee of around 10 million may be required. ”

"Roma's French defender Mex, his contract expires this year and he is free to transfer."

"Nocerino ...... Palermo"

"The ...... of Marseille"

Everyone was listening carefully to Serginho's speech, and Pan Yi was looking through the thick list by himself.

Sure enough, it recorded many players from all continents around the world, densely packed with names.

However, most of the players in front are already famous stars, or young players who are a little famous, such as Hazard, Neymar and the like.

These people are strong, but they are all expensive, even if Pan Yi proposes it, Galliani will most likely not agree to buy it - after all, it has cost more than 30 million to buy out Ibrahimovic and Boateng, and there is no money!

Pan Yi flipped directly to the back, and then found a familiar name in the "Africa" column:

"Mohamed Salah, 19 years old, Egypt, striker, plays for Egypt's Mokorun team, estimated to be worth 500,000 euros."
