Chapter 266 Plan ahead

As for the players in the current Roma lineup, Li Mudi really has a few hopefuls, but they are all roles that seem difficult to trade successfully.

First of all, there are two central defenders, Germany's Heita Rudiger and Argentine Fazio. Both of them are top-notch air defense guards in Serie A today. The Turin coach knows that at least in the next season, he will miss any of them.

Rudiger's price tag in the FM system and the German "Transfer Market" is 1800 million euros, and there is still an upward trend. After all, he has just passed his 24th birthday. Looks like it hasn't reached its peak yet.In addition, after recovering from a severe injury to the cruciate ligament at the end of October last year, this player quickly occupied the main position of the Red Wolves, and his performance has won unanimous praise from the outside world, so the future in the team is still very solid. If you want to buy him, you have to pay a premium transfer fee.

Li Mudi estimated that it is absolutely impossible not to have more than 3000 million, and this is almost all the funds that Turin can use before cleaning up the original players, so it is quite difficult to introduce this black iron tower.

But compared to the Germans, the possibility of Fazio joining the Red Bulls this summer is even slimmer.The reason is simple, because he was loaned to Rome by Tottenham Hotspur this season. The latter has just activated the buyout clause and officially bought him. It is really unlikely that this player will be sold.

In addition to these two defenders, Li Mudi also coveted the Egyptian winger Salah. This small attacker who was frustrated at Chelsea quickly seized the opportunity to realize his self-worth after coming to Serie A.His speed, dribbling, passing and finishing are of a very high standard. He is another effective attack point for the Roma team when the center Dzeko is surrounded by opponents, and he is also very sharp in counterattacks. , In terms of technical and tactical style, it fits the concept of the Turin coach very well.

However, the real-time worth given by "Transfer Market" has reached 3000 million euros, and it is also rising, which almost cut off the idea of ​​the Turin coach.Moreover, the FM system shows that Salah is currently being focused on by the Liverpool team. The Turin team does not yet have the confidence and strength to compete with the Premier League giants, so they can only give up early.

And the rest of the players have no research value. They are not for sale like Dzeko and Nainggolan, or they are tasteless. Li Moody doesn't think it's worth spending energy on.Even the two players that Longo highly recommends: Roma's main rotation player this season, Argentina's newly-promoted midfielder Paredes and Portugal's left-back Mario Rui, the Turin coach thinks they don't fit the team's tactics. Because of the direct refusal, it seems that the two clubs have continued the tradition of player exchanges for three seasons, and it is likely to be terminated in the hands of the Chinese.

As for the situation of other Serie A teams introduced by the director of the Turin club later, it is even less interesting. Now the domestic transfer market is still dominated by a few strong teams monopolizing most of the good player resources. In a state where "subsidizing" rivals in the same city and Naples' replenishment is greater than cleaning, Li Moody's choice is actually not much.If it was the Red Bulls of previous years, then it would be OK to just buy a few unknown players with low net worth from some middle and lower teams, and then take a few leftovers from the giants.However, the head coach of Tianchao, who has great ambitions, will naturally not agree to follow the old path. He carried out the transfer operation with the mentality of preferring to lack, vowing to spend every penny in the right place.

After hurriedly finishing the information analysis of the Italian domestic teams, it was already noon, and the three of them rushed to the cafeteria to have lunch.During the meeting, the Turin coach also had a brief exchange with the assistant coaches on the training performance in the morning. After learning that everything went well, he returned to the meeting room with the two club executives to continue the afternoon exchange.

The person responsible for providing relevant information was replaced by Valentino Cairo. He sent the materials printed with dozens of foreign clubs to the other two. Introduce it.

"Our network in foreign teams is relatively weak, and there are very few long-term cooperation. Coupled with the limitation of the team's transfer funds, Coach Moody and I discussed starting with those players whose contracts are about to expire. Can you pick up treasures from it? But judging from the latest situation, it is very pessimistic!"

After the opening summary, the prince of the club began to explain in detail the reasons for his frustration one by one: "The first is the goalkeeper position. After Sirigu was pending, I will contact him in turn according to the agreed list. The first is Manchester City's Argentinian Caballero, who replaced the underperforming Bravo in the starting lineup after the winter break, played very well. Although the team once again sat on the bench after the team lost 1-2 to Chelsea , but who knows that in the Manchester City derby last night, the injury of the Chilean national goalkeeper in the second half gave Caballero another chance, judging from the situation, the Argentine goalkeeper is likely to start until the end of the season."

"The performance is so good, Manchester City has no intention of renewing their contract?" Longo, who has been busy with the club and the domestic market, does not know much about football outside of Italy, so he couldn't help but ask here.

Valentino replied: "The decision not to renew the contract was made last summer. Guardiola has sent someone to inspect the new goalkeeper, even though Caballero's performance during this period has not been played lightly. The face of the Manchester City club can no longer be contradictory, and it will really lose its dignity." After explaining, he continued to talk about the communication with the old goalkeeper: "But we have no chance, his agent has already After contacting the blue team Chelsea, the two parties may have signed a draft contract, and we will wait until the end of the season to make an official announcement."

"The second is the former Swiss national goalkeeper Diego Benario of Wolfsburg." The marketing director, who has always been sloppy in his work, soon began to introduce the No.2 player's information. He is 33 years old, but his condition is still very good. He regained the main position of the team at the end of October last year, and his performance is fairly stable. However, he suffered a wrist contusion in early March, and finally suffered a truce after three rounds. He came back, but his back muscles were strained again, and he didn't recover until the 20th of this month, but he also lost his starting position. Due to Wolfsburg's poor record this season and the club's emphasis on training young players, Benari Ao decided early on to leave directly after the end of the season."

"Did other teams contact him?" You must know that considering the age of this goalkeeper, it is basically impossible for him to play the main force in the middle and upper reaches of the five major leagues. Li Moody is willing to provide him with a fair competition. The opportunity has been quite rare.But since Valentino revealed in his previous tone that the negotiation failed, it is likely that Benario reached an agreement with other clubs, because the FM system shows that this zero-valued old goalkeeper still has Many suitors.

"Specifically, he looks down on us. He wants to join a team that can play in the Champions League. Although the conditions we offer are very good, it seems that Benario, who no longer cares about whether he can get the main position, still wants to join the team. At the end of his playing career, he fulfilled his dream of the Big Ear Cup, so... there is no follow-up."

"I really didn't expect this to be the reason. It seems that there should be many free agents who are unwilling to join the Turin team because they can't participate in the Champions League!" The Turin coach shook his head helplessly, thinking about the Champions League. The charm of the game is really great. In comparison, the Europa League seems too tasteless, and few stars will pay attention to it.

"Indeed, the agent of our key target - the Bosnia and Herzegovina international and left-back Sejad Kolasinac, who plays for Schalke 04, made it clear to me that his players will join a team that can A giant team playing in the Champions League would not consider the Turin team." Valentino's expression was even more helpless when he spoke, and it must be very bad to be told in front of his face that his team is too weak Li Modi could feel that kind of humiliation and embarrassment just by imagining it.

"And the other party is not afraid to tell me clearly that Kolasinac has just reached an agreement with Arsenal and will go to the Emirates Stadium to play in the summer, which is to inform us that we can give up unnecessary delusions."

"Arsenal? I remember they are currently only ranked sixth in the Premier League standings. What kind of Champions League can they play?" Originally, he was a little unhappy that a very promising player failed to choose to join his team. Li Moody, after hearing the name of the team given by Valentino, still couldn't help being taken aback, and then hastily called up the FM system in his head to check the information of the Premier League.Sure enough, the Gunners, who compete for the fourth place every year, are now six points away from Manchester United, which is fourth in the standings. Although there is a reason for missing a game, the professor's old state is fully evident in the case of Tottenham and Liverpool's strong attack this year , The home court has heard fans shouting slogans for him to dismiss get out of class many times.

But even such a team that seems to be gradually declining is far stronger in the eyes of the players than the red bulls who have performed very eye-catching this season. How can this not make Li Moody feel angry?But the fact is so cruel. Regardless of the achievements of the two sides in the past ten years, or their respective historical status, coaching ability and reputation, Arsenal has a great advantage.Even in the eyes of the Turin coach, both teams are at the level of the Europa League, but none of the [-] neutral fans will think that the two sides are at the same level, and want to change what has been done to everyone for decades. Due to the impact, the Turin club still has a very long way to go.

After trying to quell his anger, Li Moody signaled Valentino to continue with the next content, only to hear bad news one after another.

Paris Saint-Germain’s French U18 youth team captain, only 17-year-old Dan-Exel Zagadou’s youth training contract will expire on June 6, although Paris would like to keep this potential player Defensive star, but because he could not get the promise of a foothold in the star-studded first team, the boy decided to refuse to sign his first professional contract with his home team.European teams such as Manchester City and Dortmund are very interested in him, and the Turin team naturally wants to get involved, but the other party didn't even give him a chance to meet.Valentino only contacted the other party's agent by phone, and then he was dismissed in a few words. Li Moody's "Zhengtai Training Center" lacked a successor to Desailly.

Bayern Munich's German international and central defender Holger Badstuber's contract also expired this summer. He was loaned to Schalke 04 during the winter break and announced early that he would look for a new club.However, just as the prince of Turin was instilling the team's wonderful blueprint for the next season, his youth training team Stuttgart made a move, and it took only one day to complete the free transfer, leaving Valentino with no choice but to leave sadly.

Similar things happened to Spanish winger Keylor Navas. This small winger who was once selected for the Matador 2010 World Cup lineup joined Blue Moon in the summer of 2013 with a worth of more than 2000 million euros. He has been an important rotation piece in the hands of the head coach for three seasons, and can basically get more than [-]% of the playing time in all games.However, after Guashuai, who emphasized possession of the ball, took over as the coach of the Ittihad Stadium, Navas' chances to play began to decrease, and after the winter break, he failed to play for six consecutive league rounds. The situation was once extremely bad .

Fortunately, the two fellow Spaniards communicated privately in time, and the injury of right back Klein gave Navas a chance to play as a full-back, so this article has been turned over.However, judging from the status of the player shown in the FM system, he obviously intends to leave England this summer, and according to inside information from Guinness, Manchester City also intends to peacefully terminate the contract with the Spanish player and let him be free. switch to his team.

Although the function of Navas seems a bit single, he can only attack the opponent's defense line on the right side, and he is not good at cutting inside, but he can still play a good counterattack when the team faces a stronger opponent It comes from combat power.So when Li Mudi learned that it was possible to get this veteran player with extremely fast speed and good dribbling skills, he reminded the marketing department to follow up in time.But what I never expected was that the player's home team Sevilla was also tempted, and sent staff to Manchester for initial contact.Needless to say the result?Naturally, a scene of "returning to hometown" was staged, and Turin could only miss a favorite player again.

Li Mudi, who had a headache from the bad news, threw the materials he had been researching on the table in front of him, rubbed his slightly sore eyes, and said: "It seems that the plan we made before is almost complete. The army is gone! Then give me another two days to see if I can find a group of suitable players to put on the team's signing list." Although his demeanor was a little tired, the confidence in his words was very strong adequate.
