Chapter 708 Summer Reinforcement 1
The focus of Trapani's summer signings is on the central defenders. Bielsa hopes that the team will add at least two central defenders to deal with the three-back formation. He hopes that the team will continue the 343 formation next season.

The reason why Sely likes Pique is because the central defender needs a high point like him. Trapani's defense lacks high points. The tallest are Victor and Barzagli, who are only about 1.8 meters [-] , Victor is more than brave, and his skills are rough. Looking back now, it is not without reason that Ancelotti gave up on him.

Lippi's choice of him is more like choosing a central defender like Materazzi. Materazzi is also rough in technology, tall and mighty.

Midfielder, forward, defender, Sely and the scouting department have a list of several positions, either recommended by the agent or searched by the scouting department themselves. Generally speaking, there are quite a lot of personnel.

The current economic downturn has not stopped the madness of the transfer market. The disruptors of the market are Chelsea, Trapani, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Manchester City.

Because Hugo took over the team earlier, he received less controversy, but Chelsea and Manchester City were blamed anyway, and Abrahimovic sometimes couldn't help complaining that Hugo spent no less money than him.

Due to the limited transfer funds, as a test season to break even, Sely had to get rid of many famous stars, and the rest were naturally some younger ones who showed signs of emerging.

After the end of the season, Sely flew to Hamburg, Germany, where he visited Bernd Hoffmann, chairman of the Hamburg club's board of directors, and sports manager Dietmar Beiersdorf.

The target of Seli's trip is Hamburg's young central defender Jerome Boateng. This tall central defender has just made his debut in the Hamburg team this season. Trapani's scouts have been watching him for a long time , with excellent physical fitness and multi-position attributes, this kind of player is Bielsa's favorite.

Boateng's father is Ghanaian and also a player. He also has a half-brother, Kevin Boateng, who is also a player, but the mothers of these two brothers are both German, so Boateng does not Will occupy Trapani's non-EU signings.

Everyone has been in touch before, and Hoffman of Boateng does not refuse to sell him. The 50+1 policy of the German Football Association has largely restricted the development of the Bundesliga team. No one is willing to pay for nothing for the club. In return, the purchasing power of the Bundesliga teams is relatively low, and the salaries of the players are also relatively low. The Hamburg team, like other Bundesliga teams, has no money!

Of course, there is really a rich fan behind this team who does not care about returns. Whenever there is a difficulty, Mr. Qunet, the "super member" of the Hamburg team, will allocate funds to the Hamburg team to help the Hamburg team tide over the difficulties.

But we can't always rely on this "super member". The board of directors has to work hard. When Sely made an offer that was enough to impress Hoffman and Beiersdorf, they naturally wouldn't block the deal.

Sali reached an agreement with Hamburg on the day he went, and the transaction price was 800 million euros. As for Boateng's personal terms, it was a small problem. Today's Trapani is not begging others to join in those years. Thinking of coming here, let alone a young man like Boateng, Sely did not spend too much effort to complete the first signing.

The Hamburg team should have waited. They might have gotten more transfer fees, because within two days after Trapani signed Boateng, Manchester City, who didn't know it, came to ask for a price again!
Only then did the Hamburg team feel that the time for negotiation was too short, maybe more than 800 million. Manchester City and Trapani are both rich masters, and the two of them cannot compete to raise the price. lift? !
It is not the first time that Manchester City has dealt with the Hamburg team. Last year, Manchester City introduced Kompany from the Hamburg team. This Kompany is the most famous monster in the football management game Football Manager. However, when he went to the Hamburg team , growth can only be said that he is quite satisfactory, he is still young and still has a lot of room for training, but this Kompany is disobedient, and he got into a fight with the team's head coach Stevens at a young age, Hamburg captain Van der Vaart He was punished by the club for supporting him, which is why Manchester City bought Kompany at the original price last season.

Kompany is also a player that Trapani wants. Last season, this player was on the shortlist, but due to his slow action, he was preempted by Manchester City. This season is regarded as revenge.

Immediately afterwards, an incredible thing happened. Since they failed to buy Boateng, Manchester City actually directly made an offer to Trapani to buy Barzagli or Samuel. This is another special situation.

Trapani's top executives are in dispute again, and Kenyon definitely hopes that such a deal will be successful. First, he thinks that Samuel is over 450 years old after all, and all aspects are in a decline stage; second, Samuel's departure will make the With a certain salary space, Samuel's after-tax annual salary is as high as [-] million euros.

However, Micoud did not approve of selling Samuel. Samuel is not particularly old and has rich experience in European and league games. How can a kid like Boateng be comparable? !Keeping him can play a role of mentoring. He is considering it from a competitive point of view, and there is no need for this transaction to happen.

As a result of the final discussion, Kenyon decided to talk to Manchester City. Manchester City is different from Trapani in terms of strategies for dealing with future financial fairness policies. Trapani has a background and has considerable strength. Reduce input to meet the constraints of fiscal fairness policy, and at the same time they can maintain strong competitiveness.

But Manchester City can't, their strength is not good, Thaksin's investment in the past is not much, now they want to increase their strength, they can only turn a blind eye to the upcoming policy, saying that UEFA has not issued a formal document, Manchester City chooses to adapt to the situation itself No big deal.

Samuel himself is optimistic about this deal. He is not too young now, and the rock is also old. Manchester City offered him an offer of about 575 million euros after tax, and it was a three-year contract. Rapani, it is impossible for him to get such an offer, he loves this team, loves this team that really made him reach the peak, but money is also very important, this may be the most lucrative contract at the end of his career , he had no reason to refuse.

The two sides didn't have too much entanglement in the transaction price. We are all local tyrants, so why rush to each other? !700 million euros, the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

The deal between Boateng and Samuel was completed very quickly, and the two deals were completed within half a month.

Leaving Samuel means that Trapani has to re-introduce a central defender. Sely agreed to sell Samuel on the condition that the transfer fee must be used in the transfer market.

Sely's goal is that the first choice is Pique, and the second is Chiellini. With money in hand, Sely naturally has the confidence to attack a higher-quality central defender.

Pique was directly rejected by Kenyon. Trapani has the money to introduce him, but it is impossible to give him a high salary. This is an unrealistic goal. Chiellini is the realistic goal. Trapani paid If he can afford his transfer fee, he can also afford his salary requirements.

After Pique learned of Trapani's interest, he made it clear that he had no intention of leaving Barcelona.

He himself is a Catalan, a product of Barcelona's youth training. In the early years, he would not have left Barcelona if it hadn't been for playing reasons. Choose to leave.

It's not surprising that Pique hit a snag here, including Sely, who knows that it's not something that can be done with money.

But it also hit a snag with Chiellini, which makes people feel strange. First, Trapani will definitely give Chiellini a salary increase. Secondly, the bad Juventus will have to miss the European war next season. What are the benefits of staying at Juventus? !Definitely not as good as coming to Trapani.

Under such conditions, not only did Juventus reject Trapani's offer of up to 2800 million euros without raising their eyes, Chiellini also said without hesitation that he would not consider a transfer.
