Chapter 48: Virjoward

The transfer between Franceni and Parri was soon finalized. When the general manager of Naples heard that Fiorentina was willing to pay $1.5 million to package the two veterans and was willing to add a few Fiorentine players, he immediately happily invited the agents of the two players to the office to discuss contract issues with the Florence staff.

As for Marco Lanna, Old Senci, who was eager to clean up the "team" left by his ex, also agreed to Fiorentina's offer. The two main substitutes from last season plus $500,000 were traded to the main left back of the Roma team.

In this way, while Fiorentina was carrying out these signings in an orderly manner, cleaning up substitutes in the team who could not play, and at the same time trading these people as extras to the other party to reduce cash expenses and also clearing up excess salary space.

As for Pietro Viljoward, who was spotted by Zhuang Mingge, his position in Sampdoria is very embarrassing. He himself has the highest salary in the team and should lead the team to continue to climb to the top, but the 35-year-old veteran's competitive state has begun to show signs of decline this season. Therefore, the club's owner Enrique Mantovani and head coach Eriksen have made it clear that the team will not have his position in the new season, and he can find his next home by himself. The club will not set any obstacles for him in transfers.

But something embarrassing happened. The Italian Iron Guard, who was so glorious back then, and a member of the 1982 World Cup champion team, is now in a state of no interest. After Sampdoria had officially put him in the transfer market for several months, there was no club that officially offered him.

After seeing this situation, Viljoward began to wonder if he was really old enough to no one wanted it? Thinking of his loyalty to Sampdoria for 11 years but he fell into such a tragic situation, he began to consider whether he should end his career here.

In fact, the current situation is far from as bad as Wiljoward himself imagined.

Since the months since Villejoward was listed, there are not many teams who have expressed interest in the former international central defender. However, most of these teams are relatively small clubs and their financial situation is not very ideal. Therefore, when they think of Villejoward's highest annual salary in Sampdoria and his obviously older age, they think that the cost-effectiveness is not very good.

The teams that urgently needed a central defender did not think they could afford the transfer fee. Therefore, when these clubs tentatively asked Sampdoria whether they could introduce Veljoward on a short-term loan and Sampdoria continued to pay part of his salary, they all received rejection from Sampdoria, so these teams put this candidate goal aside.

Of course, Sampdoria could not agree with the advice of these clubs, because they wanted to clean up Villejoward because of his not-so-low annual salary.

Although Sampdoria's financial situation is far better than most teams in Serie A under the efforts of Mantovani, it is not as generous as possible to spend money at will. Mantovani Jr. wants more dollars to buy the players he likes, but he is reluctant to pay for it. Therefore, he decided to cut the team's expenses and send the former international player away, which has no help to the team. However, they did not expect such an embarrassing situation: the team willing to take over cannot pay the salary, and the team that can afford his salary is unwilling to take over.

Think about it, no team that can support a salary of Wiljoward is not a rich man? He doesn't have to buy such an old man who is already in the middle of the sky to take him back to raise him.

It just so happened that at this time, Florence, who will return to Serie A next season, is looking for good players all over the world. They target Sampdoria and suggest that they want to take Virjoward away.

Florence never expected that Sampdoria was so enthusiastic. Almost less than half an hour after faxed the quote about Veljoward, Sampdoria called very urgently: "As long as you are willing to accept Veljoward, we can give it for free!"

Therefore, after Poirot asked Zhuang Mingge for advice (because Sampdoria's reaction was too amazing), Florence quickly responded and agreed to accept that Villejoward, Florence and Sampdoria clubs reached an agreement on the transfer of Pietro Villejoward.

Transfer fee? No one cares about that thing at this time. It can be said that this transfer is a completely free transfer. The two clubs have almost no contact and have entered the contract negotiation stage of players.

When Fiorentina hurriedly sent his negotiator to the **, Viljoward was still training as before. He had no hope for his transfer. Perhaps after Sampdoria spent the last season of his contract, he could go to the low league to find a well-paid job and then end his career.

Just as Viljoward was thinking about it, Florence's negotiator ran to him with a contract, hoping that he could sign the contract. This situation made Uncle Viljoward completely stunned and a little at a loss - Sampdoria, who was happy that he had finally gotten rid of a burden, forgot to notify the player that Florence would go to discuss the treatment with him.

He signed the contract for two years, earning $10,000 per week, and there was almost no signing fee. Because his competitive state began to decline, Wiljoward, who is not young, did not continue to hire an agent, so his contract is relatively simple, and the player himself can sign and agree on the contract.

Both Florence, Sampdoria and Virjoward are very satisfied with this transfer.

Fiorentina is happy that the team has found the main rotation player of the central defender in need, Sampdoria is happy that he has lost a big burden and reduced the team's total salary, and Viljoward himself is happy that he has finally found a new boss and received a good salary.

In short, this transfer was a happy ending. With the agreement of both clubs, Viljoward's transfer was almost completed in a flash and reported to the Italian Football Association for filing, just waiting for the door to the summer transfer market to open.
