Chapter 796 Love to buy, buy, don't buy!
In the second half of last season, after Inter Milan's massive signings, Icardi's performance was very eye-catching.

He is the top scorer in the second half of Serie A. Relying on his goals in half a season, Icardi broke into the top five scorers in Serie A, tied for fourth place with Palacio.

That is, the goals scored in this half of the season made Icardi quickly become popular throughout European football.

It is really interesting to say that Inter Milan has two players who have reached the top five in the league, that is, Icardi and Palacio, which are the only ones among the [-] teams in Serie A.

Ironically, Inter Milan scored the worst goals among the top five teams in the league.

The number of goals conceded by Inter Milan is tied for third place with Naples in Serie A.

At first glance, it should feel very good, because the offense and defense are all good.

However, Inter Milan's draw reached [-] games, which is also the most in Serie A.

The second-ranked Rome has seven draws, the third Naples has nine draws, and the fourth Florence has eight draws.

Inter Milan is almost twice their size!
Combined with the number of draws, combined with the team's goals and conceded goals, it is not difficult to see that the team's most critical problem lies in offense!

It can even be said to some extent that Mazzarri's offense is entirely supported by Icardi and Palacio.

With Palacio already old, Icardi is Inter Milan's frontcourt standard-bearer.

So, Chelsea's poaching is really painful.

The reason why Yang Huan went to Milan in person was to stabilize Klopp regarding Icardi's transfer, but unexpectedly, the Germans were more open-minded.

"Master Huan, in fact, I support the sale of Icardi!" Klopp said with a smile.

"You support?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

Looking at Fassone, Branca and Osirio, it is obvious that the three of them already knew about it.

Perhaps, they have already conducted research on this issue.

"I have watched a lot of Inter Milan's game videos last season. I think that the reason why Inter Milan's offense frequently encounters problems is because of Icardi's characteristics."

Yang Huan nodded, "Let's listen."

"Icardi's advantage is finishing, he has a high conversion rate, but he is also quite dependent on the team to create chances for him, and his team contribution is only 15.00%, which is bad because it means that we are on the pitch, most of the time, there is always a player thinking about how to score goals instead of helping the team."

Yang Huan can understand this.

Modern football tactics pay attention to the whole, the integration of offense and defense.

Why did Real Madrid keep Benzema and let go of Higuain, because the former team contributed more.

The frontcourt fulcrum that Benzema can provide to Real Madrid is quite huge.

Even to a certain extent, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale were able to exert their offensive power only because of his contribution.

Therefore, the current team's selection of strikers is either a fulcrum type or a retracement series type.

Needless to say, the latter is basically a way like Messi and Aguero.

The selection of fulcrum players is also very interesting. They even prefer to have low scoring ability, but they must also be comprehensive.

Therefore, a striker like Icardi who has a strong scoring ability but is poor in other aspects is very different.

"Icardi is an excellent scorer. When I can't use it on the bench, my original idea was to let Icardi and Aubameyang try to play a double striker combination to see if it can be effective."

"But now, since Chelsea want to buy, I think it would be good to sell Icardi."

For a player like Icardi, especially after his outstanding performance in the second half of last season, it is not a solution if he does not use it, so he can only find a way to accommodate and make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses.

But this is somewhat problematic.

Now it's all right, it's easy to sell directly.

Yang Huan really didn't think about this level, but after hearing Klopp's words, his eyes lighted up instead.

"Compared to Icardi, I am more optimistic about Aubameyang, Morata and Dybala. They are more malleable and have greater potential for future development. But if it is out of performance considerations, I still hope to introduce a fulcrum forward."

"Fulcrum forward?" Yang Huan couldn't help frowning.

The fulcrum forward is quite valuable these days, because almost all teams lack it.

Blanca smiled and nodded, "Master Huan, I checked the scouting system, and we are considering bringing in Italian center Graziano Pellet from Feyenoord."

"Pellet?" Yang Huan had never heard of this person.

"Pellet made his debut in Lecce, but his career has been full of twists and turns. He has experienced Catania, Crotone, Cesena and other Serie B teams, but they were not very successful. Later, he went to Alkmaar in the Netherlands."

"Oh, by the way, the head coach of Alkmaar at the time was Van Gaal."

Yang Huan hummed, the player who can be favored by Van Gaal should be pretty good.

"After playing in Alkmaar for four years, Pellet returned to Italy and joined Parma, but he performed poorly. He was loaned to Sampdoria in Serie B and failed to play at his level. Two years later, he was brought back to the Netherlands by Feyenoord coach Koeman."

"As a result, in the first season after returning to the Netherlands, he scored 29 goals in 27 league games. In the second season, he scored 28 goals in 23 league games. What is even more commendable is that although he is a tall and strong center forward, he has quite good skills at his feet. He can pass, shoot, and get the ball behind his back. He runs actively and has good speed. He is very intimidating in the frontcourt."

Yang Huan smiled wryly, "Marco, after hearing what you said, why do I feel that Pellet seems to have the potential to be the world's number one center forward, but why haven't I heard of such a player?"

After a pause, Yang Huan reminded again, "And you have to know, what we want now is a role-type center, but after hearing your description, how do I feel that it can't be bought without three or twenty million?"

When Yang Huan said this, Fassone, Osirio and Klopp all burst into laughter, and even Branca shook his head and laughed.

"Master Huan, in fact, Pellet's worth is not expensive at all. My preliminary estimate is that 1000 million euros can definitely be won!"

"So cheap?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

You know, centers are scarce these days, and every team is a treasure.

1000 million can win such a comprehensive center?

"He's 29!" Blanca explained.

Yang Huan suddenly realized that it was so!

A 29-year-old center is of course impossible to sell for a high price!

"Master Huan!" Klopp also said, "I also agree with the introduction of Pellet. First, I believe that his age and situation should not refuse to come to Inter Milan. Second, Morata is still young. I think it is feasible to introduce Pellet and take Morata with him."

Sometimes, it is also playing football, and it is completely different from being led by someone or not.

If you use the saying in FM Football Manager, this is called apprenticeship.

"Okay, let's introduce Pellet!"

Since both the technical director and the head coach agreed and supported it, Yang Huan definitely couldn't say anything more.

More importantly, Pellet is really not expensive, only 1000 million euros.

"But, Marco, when talking to Chelsea about the transfer, remember, we have to act like the sky is going to fall for Inter Milan without Icardi and Ranocchia, understand?"

"Huh?" Blanca was a little confused.

Although these two players are very important, they haven't reached this point, have they?

Needless to say, Icardi, the introduction of Aubameyang this season, coupled with the original Dybala and Morata, even if the introduction of Pellet is not considered, Inter Milan can fully operate.

As for Ranocchia, let alone, De Vrij, Blind, Rugani, Romagnoli and Juan Jr. can all play central defenders. If he is sold, even without signings, the team's defense is still not bad.

According to Klopp, without Ranocchia, it would be good to try the Dutch central defender combination with De Vrij and Blind.

Coupled with the two local teenagers Rugani and Romagnoli, it is completely enough.

Why did Master Huan say that without Icardi and Ranocchia, the sky of Inter Milan would collapse?
Yang Huan slapped his forehead hard, shaking his head with a look of helplessness, and said, "You don't know that the big local tycoon in Chelsea likes to do the most. He is not a pillar player. He is not a rarity."

"But if this player is the opponent's pillar, and he's interested, hey, he's willing to sell it for any amount!"

real or fake?

Blanca and the others obviously didn't believe it.

Chelsea's recent purchases are much more shrewd and pragmatic. It is said that Abramovich wants to tighten his purse strings. Can he bleed a lot now?

"Don't you guys still believe me?" Yang Huan was a little unhappy.

"No, no, Master Huan, why don't we believe you?" Blanca quickly explained.

"But I was afraid that the asking price would be too high, which would scare away Chelsea."

When Yang Huan heard this, he burst out laughing, "It would be better if you scare them away. Anyway, whether they like to buy it or not, they are really scared away. I have to ask Abramovich if I don't have a chance. I'm here to poach the young master's corner. Isn't this just for money?"

He was even thinking, if Chelsea couldn't afford it and scared away, he would go back to the Premier League Chairman's Summit, and he would definitely use this matter to taunt Abramovich.

No reason, just for fun!

"Don't worry, even though you call out the high price, I told you that Icardi is less than 3000 million euros, you are not allowed to sell, shame on me, you know?"

"3000 million?" Blanca was taken aback.

Look at Fassone and Osirio again, as if asking, is this possible?

"Also, Nokia, starting from 2000 million!"

After Master Huan finished speaking, he chuckled, "Three years ago, we spent 900 million euros to introduce him. If we don't have 2000 million euros now, plus inflation, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?"

Everyone was even more surprised.

So the transfer fee can still be calculated like this?

"All in all, you don't need to worry about the rest. Listen to me. If it is lower than these two prices, you are not allowed to sell it. Do you understand?"

Blanca and the others looked at each other, finding it difficult to understand.

Or, the world of the rich is just so unreasonable.

But they still nodded in unison and said they understood.

In fact, just now Yang Huan called Beiersdorf in Hamburg and told him that Charhanoglu’s offer should be as high as possible, at least 2000 million yuan. If it is lower than this price, he will not sell Chelsea to anyone.

Anyway, the Turkish midfielder is now thinking about it in the Bundesliga and European football. Are you afraid that no one will buy it?

As for Chelsea, it's one thing to sell someone else anyway, but if you sell it to Chelsea, you'll get the price. If you love it, buy it, don't buy it!
Hehe, this young master is just so capricious!
