"Huh?" Li Ang glanced at the quotation data on the fax and was slightly surprised.
Juventus offer €15 million for Marchisio.
Is the quote of 15 million euros high? If it were placed in the summer transfer window, this price would be nothing, but in the winter when there are very few big-money transfers, it would be considered high.
The top bid in winter transfers so far is made by Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich. There is no doubt that Bayern is the richest club in Bundesliga. Although they only have one signing, they signed 18-year-old central defender Breno from Sao Paulo.
However, the transfer fee of 12 million euros is the highest in the Bundesliga, and Breno is also the most expensive star in the winter transfer so far.
In addition, Marchisio is only 22 years old. In the Inter Milan team, he is now more of an important substitute player and not the main force of Inter Milan. Considering this aspect, a 22-year-old Italian young midfielder,
The offer of 15 million euros is not low.
At the very least, this offer still shows a certain degree of sincerity from Juventus.
"How to reply to Juventus?" Mihajlovic asked.
Li Ang touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Tell Juventus that Marchisio is not for sale!"
The offer of 15 million euros surprised Li Ang a little, and indeed he was a little tempted, but it was far from truly impressing him.
Italy's "Total Market" once estimated the value of Li Ang's Inter Milan players before the winter transfer. They valued Marchisio at 10 million euros.
In other words, Juventus's offer is an increase of 4 million euros based on the reasonable market price.
However, these four million euros are far from getting Li Ang to nod. Marchisio plays an alternative role in the second set of plans in his tactics, which is a strong support and supplement for Inter Milan's third-line operations. He is not Inter Milan.
The manager, who is not Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger, has no obligation to generate revenue for the club. He would not do such a thing simply by selling players just for the money, thereby affecting the overall structure of the team.
Mihajlovic nodded and left to deal with the matter.
"It seems that Juventus people value Marchisio very much." Banderas said.
"Their midfielder is too old now. The younger one is unable to bear the heavy responsibility. Recruitment is inevitable." Li Ang said casually.
"I have a gut feeling that Juventus will not give up and may continue to increase the price," Banderas said.
"I'm not Arsene Wenger." Leon sneered, taking a dig at his French counterpart.
***********
On January 27, Inter Milan defeated Udinese 1-0 away in the twentieth round of Serie A.
Adriano scored the only goal of the game, helping Inter Milan beat the opponent with one goal. At the same time, he also continued to create their own record: the best start record of 20 consecutive wins in Serie A this season!
In this round of the league, Juventus also defeated Livorno 3-1 away from home. However, this did not ease the dissatisfaction of Juventus fans with the team's poor recruitment.
In the afternoon when the game ended, the news was playing on TV.
"Juventus finally made some gains before the game against Livorno. Juventus' official website later issued a statement confirming that the club had signed Swedish international center back Erik Olof Mellberg, with the contract starting from July 2008.
From January 1st to June 30th, 2011.
As we all know, Melberg's contract with Aston Villa expired on June 30, 2008. In the past few months, Melberg has been closely linked with Juventus, and he will eventually land in Turin City for free this summer.
"
"I am very happy to have reached an agreement with Juventus," Mellberg said in a statement via Juventus' official website.
"It is very important for me to play in Serie A. Juventus is a prestigious club and Serie A is the most influential league in the world."
"Now, I have to end my season at Aston Villa in the best possible way, but I really can't wait to join Juventus, put on the black and white jersey and give my best."
Juventus head coach Claudio Ranieri is also very happy that Melberg can join the team, "Mellberg is a player that I know very well. I have been paying attention to him when I was coaching at Chelsea.
"
"Mellberg is a centre-back but he can also play at right-back, as he has done this season. He is very physical but he is also very fast and agile. Given his ability and richness
With his match experience, he will make a great contribution to Juventus."
"Mellberg has been the backbone of Villa's defense since joining Villa from Racing Santander for £5 million in 2001. He has played almost 250 Premier League games and 70 caps for the Swedish national team.
Many games. I believe the joining of this veteran will make Juventus fans happy."
On TV, the host's words aroused the dissatisfaction of the Juventus fans in the bar: A thirty-year-old veteran joins for free, and he can't join until the summer!!! Juventus fans can be satisfied.
How strange!
"What do we do with an old guy like this?"
"This is the ambition of the club? To bring in some old guys who don't need money!"
"What is Pesoto doing?!" a fan shouted!
"I'm going to Vinovo to protest and let those blind guys feel our anger!" shouted a fan who was obviously drunk.
Go together!
Go together!
It immediately attracted more responses!
***********
The news that Juventus brought in Mellberg for free did not win the favor of Juventus fans, but instead aroused their great anger.
About an hour later, a large number of Juventus fans gathered outside the Vinovo training base again. They strongly protested against Juventus' inaction in signing transfers this winter.
"Damn it!" With the blinds drawn and looking at the angry fans outside the training base, Pessotto couldn't help but curse. He was not scolding the fans, but someone from Inter Milan.
Juventus has raised Marchisio's offer to 16 million euros, but Inter Milan still won't let go. According to the news they received, the main reason is not the Inter Milan manager Olivier who is in charge of the negotiations.
In Riali, it was Li Ang who was not satisfied with the price and insisted not to let him go.
"What do you think the psychological price of Inter Milan is?" Pessotto asked the assistants.
"I estimate that the price will be increased to 18 million euros, which should be about the same." Someone thought for a while and said.
"Impossible!" Pessotto shook his head, "Eighteen million euros is too expensive for a 22-year-old young man!"
Oddly enough, at this moment, the voice of the ESPN host came from the TV that had been on. This was an off-the-record news.
"We have just received the news that the latest bidder in this winter transfer market has been born! Valencia has purged Albelda and other veterans, and they chose to supplement the midfielder with Boca Juniors' young player Banega.
The transfer to Valencia has been completed. In the end, Valencia spent 18 million euros to sign the 19-year-old talented midfielder Banega from Boca Juniors, and his worth was higher than the entire winter transfer.
The total value of the players introduced by other La Liga teams so far is more..." said the host with beautiful blond hair and a beautiful face.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward.
"Are the Valencians crazy? A 19-year-old young man who has not been tested in the European leagues has 18 million!" someone exclaimed.
Pessotto glanced at the man, but his heart sank. In football transfers, the transfer of a certain player is not independent, but will affect the overall market situation of the transfer market.
He was worried that Valencia's deal to introduce the 19-year-old Banega at a price of 18 million euros would stimulate Inter Milan. The Chinese would definitely ask for a higher transfer price now with more confidence!
Damn Valencians, do you have money to burn?!
Peixoto cursed bitterly.
***********
Although Juventus has had many super-class stars in history, in fact, Juventus rarely has high-priced blockbuster signings. In essence, Juventus is not a team in the transfer market.
A team that spends a lot of money.
Looking at Juventus’ historical signings, Juventus’ three most expensive signings so far were in 2001. In the summer of that year, the Bianconeri signed Buffon for 52.88 million euros, 41.5 million euros and 41.2 million euros respectively.
, Thuram and Nedved. In the following years, Juventus’ expensive signings only cost 28 million euros to buy Emerson.
What I have to mention here is that more than half of the money Juventus spent on bringing in Buffon, Thuram and Nedved was provided by Real Madrid. They sold Zidane to Real Madrid for the most valuable money in football.
Madrid, this brought Juventus 150 billion lire. Then they spent all the money on strengthening the team. As a result, they bought Buffon, Nedved and Thuram, and the team continued their winning streak.
Therefore, it is really rare for Juventus to directly spend money to buy people without selling them.
Now, Pessotto has to face a thorny question, whether to insist on bringing in Marchisio, how much money Juventus will need to spend if they decide to continue negotiating this deal, and how he needs to convince the club's top management
Take this money.
As Pesotto expected, Banega's transfer from the Iberian Peninsula stimulated Inter Milan. This time, even Inter Milan's former manager Oriali, who had softened his attitude before, also became tougher.
:The 19-year-old Banega, who has not been baptized and tested in the European League, is worth 18 million, so how much is Marchisio worth?!
"What did Marchisio's father say?" Pessotto asked his assistant.
Juventus privately contacted Marchisio’s father and agent, Stefano Marchisio, and after promising a starting position and a high salary, they received good news.
From the old Marchisio's mouth, they learned that Marchisio was not opposed to returning to Juventus, which made Juventus very happy. Later, they communicated with the Marchisio family again, hoping to use Marchisio.
The Chisio family's feelings for Juventus will affect this transfer, so it is best to take some proactive actions to put pressure on Inter Milan.
"Mr. Stefano Marchisio rejected our suggestion!" said the assistant. "According to the information we got, they don't want to antagonize Leon."
In a word, Marchisio does not exclude the transfer to Juventus, but he will not actively participate in it. If the Juventus club can handle Inter Milan, then let the transfer take its course. If it cannot handle Inter Milan and
Li Ang and Marchisio will not transfer. It is not bad to play in Inter Milan safely. In short, they are not willing to risk angering Li Ang by jumping out.
Pessotto had a headache and was a little angry. He no longer wanted to play charades with Inter Milan and asked his staff to contact Inter Milan immediately. He wanted to find out what Inter Milan meant and how much was the price for Marchisio? Come up with a price.
Come on, it's too much to continue talking about achievements. Juventus can only give up. The transfer window for winter transfers will close in four days. They don't have much time. At the same time, they are serving as spare tires.
Mohamed Sissoko was also impatient and urged Juventus to complete the transfer quickly, otherwise he would have to consider other teams. Seeing that the transfer window was coming to an end, Sissoko was still kept in the dark.
Naturally, I was anxious.
***********
Li Ang didn't know about Juventus's resentment towards him, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
At this moment, a closed-door meeting was being held in the conference room of Inter Milan's Pinenati training base. The meeting was attended by Li Ang and his coaching staff, as well as Inter Milan club manager Auriari.
"It's time to start." Leon nodded towards his assistant Pablo Banderas.
Banderas pressed the button to start playing the edited material.
"On September 26, 2007, in Bayern Munich's 5-0 Bundesliga victory over Cottbus, Kroos replaced Ze Roberto in the 72nd minute. The young player was 17 years and 265 days old.
, setting a league appearance record for Bayern Munich's youngest player. It is worth noting that Kroos helped Bayern score two goals with two assists in this game!" As Banderas spoke, the clip began to play.
In the video, footage of a young player with a slightly immature face racing through the game began to appear.
"On October 4, 2007, in Bayern's UEFA Cup away game against Villanse, Kroos replaced Sebastian Schweinsteiger in the 81st minute and completed his European career
Tournament debut," Banderas continued.
"On October 25, 2007, in the UEFA Cup match between Bayern and Red Star Belgrade, Kroos scored his first professional goal and helped Bayern reverse the opponent with three bills." Banderas pressed the pause and said, "This is
In this game, Toni Kroos came on as a substitute, but he performed very well."
"On November 10, 2007, in Bayern's away game against Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, Kroos got his first chance to start." Banderas continued, "Bayern Munich still attaches great importance to this young man."
