Chapter 236 Galliani's Proposal
I would like to ask for recommendation votes at the beginning, and I would like to thank all readers for their rewards and evaluation votes...
Since it was Christmas, the match between Florence and AC Milan in Serie A attracted the attention of many fans. The Frankie Stadium, which can accommodate people, was overcrowded for a while. When Zhuang Mingge arrived here by car, he also saw many Florence fans wandering at the entrance trying to buy a ticket.
After getting off the bus, Zhuang Mingge did not go directly to the VIP private room that was dedicated to the chairman, but opened the door to another private room under the guidance of Florence staff.
"Manager Gagliani, welcome you to the Frankie Stadium to watch this game." I was very surprised when I saw Gagliani Zhuang Mingge in the VIP box. Although this Gagliani is also a hardcore Milan fan, he would not go to Florence to watch the game!
"Chairman Corleon, long time no see." Galliani greeted Zhuang Mingge with kind face, with an expression on his face extremely pure. This abnormal situation immediately aroused Zhuang Mingge's vigilance: There are two people in the Italian football circle with the most terrifying smiles, one is Juventus' old fox, and the other is the bald man in front of him. God knows what they are thinking about when they are smiling at you, maybe they are thinking about how to use the least money to poach the most players you have...
"Manager Galliani, you are not just watching a football game this time, right?" The best way to deal with such a person is not to try to go around with him, because if you go around in circles, it is very likely to get yourself into it. It is a good way to directly point out the topic, at least it can save a lot of time to directly figure out the other party's purpose.
"Haha, Chairman Corleon, you are right. This time I brought us a kind expression of AC Milan Club." Galliani still looked calm and said, "On behalf of AC Milan Club, I made a formal offer to the central defender of your club, Filicano. As for the specific price, everything is easy to negotiate."
I'll take a look, what's going on? I'm planning to poach our main rotation team and it's called "good intention"? You can't turn the black and white into a bad guy! Zhuang Mingge glanced at Gagliani in surprise, without saying a word.
When Galliani saw that the opponent didn't even answer, it was obvious that there was no chance. However, the introduction of Filicano was approved by the club's internal meeting. In order to strengthen Milan's increasingly aging defense line and bald men, they have observed players a lot in the past six months. Filicano, a local defender, naturally became the best choice in Galliani's eyes: not to cause trouble, have the strength, and be good at fighting for the first place. You can be familiar with the style of the Serie A. The most important thing is to introduce Filicano and can directly hit Milan's championship rival Florence.
Therefore, Galliani did not give up easily, but immediately gave his own offer: "Of course, we know that asking you to let away an important first-team member like Filicano during the transfer period in January will have many adverse effects on Fiorentina's second half of the season. For this, Milan can make certain compensation for Fiorentina in terms of transfer fees, 12 million US dollars, paid in one lump sum, how about it?"
The transfer fee of $12 million was already a very considerable number in 1995, especially the target was only a central defender. You should know that the world's highest value was only the 17.5 million US dollars when Rentini transferred to Milan in 1992 and Ronaldo transferred to Fiorentina this year. This shows that AC Milan has indeed invested a lot in order to strengthen its back line.
But this money will not make Zhuang Mingge, who is already worth billions of dollars, amazed at the beginning of this month. After all, at the beginning of this month, he subscribed 10% of the shares of Siberian Petroleum through a partner company jointly established with Groz for only US$10 million. Although there are no Abramovich and Berezovskido, even the actual value of these shares is hundreds of millions. Zhuang Mingge sincerely thanked the Russian government for his jumping off the building sale...
"Chairman Corleon, the price of 12 million is definitely more than Filicano's worth. With this transfer fee, your scouting system can discover more potential players..." Seeing that Zhuang Mingge still did not respond, Gagliani had to continue to persuade the chairman of Fiorentina. At the same time, he secretly prayed in his heart that Antonio Corleon could be as confused as Boss Mo this time, and just sell Filicano to them, but he didn't expect that his words would just violate Zhuang Mingge's taboo.
Galliani's words made Zhuang Mingge feel very uncomfortable. I feel that Milan's view of us in Florence is the talent reserve base of you traditional wealthy families! Who can take it away by saying hello and giving a transfer fee? How can you do this cheap thing!
Furthermore, although Nesta's successful position in the first half of the season caused Filicano to decline in the position of the team, there are only two substitutes in the central defender position. No matter how you look at a 28-year-old Filicano is much more reliable than Uncle Villejoward who is 36 years old. After all, the main task of this former World Cup champion team member in Fiorentina is to train young players in the team with peace of mind, teach them his experience and skills, and occasionally play in some less important games to enjoy the fun of football...
"Manager Gagliani, the offer you gave is indeed very sincere, but Aldo (Filicano) is an important member of our team. I will not agree to sell him during this winter transfer period. Aldo is the only rotation player on our defense line who is playing. Selling him to you Milan at this time is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall." Zhuang Mingge said firmly, leaving no room for anything, and turned around and left the room. "If there is nothing else, please forgive me for not being with me for the time being."
