"Next, let's study the signing plan for this summer window."
The meeting reached a new topic, and Galliani stood up:
"First of all, let me inform you about the departure of important players this season, as well as some intentional offers."
"Jankulovsky decided to retire."
"Pirlo, a free transfer to Juventus has been confirmed."
"Borriello was originally loaned to Roma, and now they want to buy it out for 10 million euros."
"Genoa offers 4 million for Papastathopoulos."
"In addition..."
Saying that, Galliani suddenly raised his head and glanced at Pan Yi:
"Juventus offers 40 million for Pato."
And this time, the conference room exploded.
"Juventus wants to directly poach our future?"
"As a direct competitor, we will never sell Pato to them!"
"Yes, he is the core of our team."
"There are so many veterans in the team now, how can we still sell young players? You are kidding!"
"40 million? 80 million is about the same!"
"Yeah..."
Galliani clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then looked at Pan Yi thoughtfully: "What do you think?"
Pan Yi's mind quickly reviewed Milan's development trajectory after 2011, and he quickly understood Galliani's current thoughts.
Despite the fact that the bald man remained silent during the interview that day, it seemed that he had already received the offer for Pato and was studying its feasibility.
Pan Yi's analysis of Pato may also make Galliani want to sell this high-priced product even more.
Because this is a win-win point from both an economic and tactical point of view, giving him no worries.
Unlike Allegri, Galliani does not directly judge a player's performance on the court. He evaluates whether a transaction should be carried out more from an economic perspective.
Now, Milan's club operating conditions have actually begun to deteriorate.
Winning the championship last season was actually a reflection of the past!
In the coming season, AC Milan will rank second in the standings after Juventus.
Then, many veterans of Milan will leave, including Inzaghi, Seedorf, Gattuso, Ambrosini...etc.
What made the team even more devastated was that they sold captain Thiago Silva and top star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Having lost two pillar players, one behind the other, everyone from coach Allegri to the fans was caught off guard.
Selling blood for money is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and Aquilani's precise control of 24.5 games without a buyout has become a joke.
From this moment on, AC Milan entered the visa-free era where Galliani rode his bicycle to hunt for money from wealthy clubs, and his performance once dropped to around ten, unable to even enter the European war...
It was not until 2022 that Milan regained the long-lost league championship.
It’s been 11 years! The originally proud Milan fans began to call themselves "Mi Diao" one by one. This shows how poor AC Milan is.
Pan Yi looked back and realized that if he cashed out the team's embarrassingly useless players from now on, he might be able to preserve Milan's core framework and remain competitive in the next few years.
And Pato is obviously the most valuable one.
"I think it can be sold." Pan Yi said, "It's not just Pato. If someone offers Robinho or Cassano, they can also be sold."
Robinho, who is also from Brazil like Pato, has seen a sharp decline in form since the beginning of this year, and may only score about five goals in the following season.
He also likes to go it alone and is considered a representative figure of the first generation of "Happy Boys". When he is his coach, he must prepare quick-acting heart-saving pills.
Although Cassano can provide good assists and goals from time to time, he has serious heart problems and will miss most of the season this year.
Moreover, he was nicknamed the "Bad Boy" and had a weird temper. He would eventually have a conflict with Allegri and eventually leave the team.
Keeping such a powder keg will not help the team's locker room atmosphere at all, so it is better to sell it directly.
In fact, in the 2011-2012 season that Pan Yi knew in his previous life, AC Milan's offensive line was basically supported by Ibrahimovic, and other people really didn't help much.
Including Boateng, and later Nocerino, they performed well because Ibrahimovic, a striker with his own system, was there.
So much so that after Ibrahimovic left, all these players were exposed and completely hopeless.
But now after hearing what Pan Yi said, everyone in the conference room couldn't sit still and criticized one after another:
"Sell them all? We only have these forwards. If we sell them all, who will play? Inzaghi, he is 38 years old this year! He is not the super Pippo he was back then!"
"Cassano's performance has been pretty good since he joined our team."
"Not to mention Pato and Robinho, they both scored almost as many goals as Ibrahimovic last season."
"Yes, they still want to sell it after such a performance. Does Ibrahimovic also want to sell it?"
"This young man really doesn't know the bounds of heaven and earth. He talks nonsense as soon as he comes..."
At this time, head coach Allegri, who had been silent, said:
"You suggest selling these forwards. Are there any alternatives?"
He also has an idea of the current status of his players.
Especially Cassano, he also feels that keeping such a guy would have a negative effect on the team.
But the problem is that if all three of them are sold as Pan Yi said, only Ibrahimovic and Inzaghi will be left on the forward line.
Fortunately for Ibrahimovic, Inzaghi is about to retire. At most, he will be used as a substitute and as a surprise soldier. He cannot be regarded as a regular combat force at all.
If Ibrahimovic gets injured again, how can he still play?
So Allegri wants to hear Pan Yi's opinion.
Since he dared to mention it like this, he must have a favorite replacement player in mind.
Then Allegri heard Pan Yi say: "I want to listen to the scouting report first."
In Pan Yi's mind, of course there are countless candidates for talented players.
Unlike in the FM game where there is a certain chance that a high-potential demon will not be able to practice, what he wants must be a star that has been tested by time in his previous life and can truly stand alone!
However, it would be too weird if he just throw out a few names that no one has heard of before. After all, he is just a newly graduated international student and not a professional scout.
Therefore, Pan Yi decided to listen to the scouting reports first, and then choose the names he was familiar with.
A big club like AC Milan has a scouting network all over the world, so many players will be scouted.
So, at Galliani's signal, chief scout Serginho began to speak.
The former Brazilian midfielder played for AC Milan for nearly ten years and stayed at the club as a scout after retiring.
Serginho said:
"Everyone, the list of players we have recently inspected has just been distributed to everyone. You can take a look first."
"In addition to the confirmed buyouts of Ibrahimovic and Boateng, who performed well on loan to our team last season, I suggest focusing on the following targets:"
"Genoa's young forward Shaarawi may need a transfer fee of around 10 million."
"Roma's French defender Mexes, his contract expires this year and can be transferred freely."
"Nocerino in Palermo..."
"From Marseille..."
Everyone was listening carefully to Serginho's speech, while Pan Yi was minding his own business, flipping through the thick list.
Sure enough, it contains records of many players from all continents around the world, and the names are all densely packed.
But most of the people in front are already famous stars, or young players who are slightly famous, such as Hazard and Neymar.
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, so there is no money left.
!
Pan Yi turned to the end and found a familiar name in the "Africa" column:
"Mohamed Salah, 19 years old, Egypt, forward, plays for the Egyptian team Mokoulen, estimated to be worth 500,000 euros."
