Chapter 642 Before the World Cup (1)

PS: Let me ask you for recommendation votes here...

After determining the signing target, Fiorentina moved quickly in the transfer market. Just a week after the end of the Champions League final, led by Antonioni and Poirot, Fiorentina, which had just completed three consecutive championships in the Champions League, announced a series of transfer transactions one after another.

First, Rui Costa, who announced his departure from Fiorentina, was listed for sale. As soon as the news of the Portuguese being listed for sale came out, it immediately caused a snatch of teams, especially Bayern Munich, who had just poached Effenberg, was the most enthusiastic. Heathfield, who has been confirmed to coach Bayern next season, told Heathfield countless times that he needed a true organizational core, and Rui Costa, who is good at organizing, just met the requirements of the German coach.

So, when he received the news, Heness offered a quotation of 15 million US dollars to Florence immediately. At the same time, in order to show his sincerity, he even flew to Florence overnight without progressing his transfer, intending to have in-depth negotiations with Florence on Costa's transfer.

Zhuang Mingge naturally knew the purpose of Henes's trip. After all, Bayern Munich's transfer offer for Costa is now in front of him: "I want to take Costa away for 15 million US dollars? Has Henes been dominating Germany for too long and doesn't even understand the market conditions?"

"That's right, the value of a top midfielder like Costa is indeed more than $15 million." Poirot, who is good at calculating, responded. "Last year, Djokav's transfer fee to Inter Milan was $18 million, and Costa's price could not be lower than this!"

"Helkerry, you are in charge of this. If the other party is unwilling to pay a high price, you should know what to do. Don't worry about the friendship between me and Beckenbauer. This time it was Heness that came to negotiate, which means Franz doesn't want to mess with this deal... I mean, you understand, do you understand?"

"I understand, boss." Poirot nodded, then left Zhuang Mingge's office and hurried to the airport to greet the visiting Hones.

In this way, Genes, who arrived in Florence, didn't even see Zhuang Mingge's shadow, was dragged to the negotiating table by Poirot who came to greet him.

At the beginning of the negotiations, the atmosphere between Heness and Poirot was a bit tense - these two people are the kind of people who can spend a penny in half, so it is natural to have friction.

"30 million US dollars?!" Henes was so angry that he almost slapped the price and said, "This is a world record value. We Bayern will never accept introducing a player who can't play the absolute main player in Fiorentina at such a price! So I sincerely hope that you can take this offer seriously. 15 million US dollars is already a very fair price."

Facing the angry Heness, Poirot was unmoved at all. Sitting at the other end of the conference table, he looked at the Bayern general manager very calmly and said: "Yuri Djokav is not our absolute main force, but his transfer to Inter Milan last year was worth 18 million, so Costa, who is even stronger than Djokav in ability, will definitely not be lower than this price... In this way, as long as you pay 25 million US dollars, the Portuguese will be yours."

The stingy Hones quit when he heard that Costa had to spend $25 million. He immediately stopped doing it. You know, under his management, Bayern did not have a player's transfer fee until 2007. Now, he is asking him to spend so much money to buy a midfielder? There is no way to go!

However, although Bayern Munich can often introduce excellent players in Germany at prices lower than other competitors, in Italy, where Bayern's sphere of influence is simply untouchable, Heness's approach of using power to overwhelm people and then taking advantage is obviously not successful.

Especially when Beckenbauer repeatedly warned him to maintain a good relationship with Florence, Heness did not dare to use small means to avoid angering Florence.

Since Heness was in a very passive situation from the beginning, when Poirot "inadvertently" revealed that Real Madrid and Inter Milan were also very interested in Costa, Heness, who had been lying on the price of $15 million, suddenly became timid.

Heness knew very well that Effenberg could be said to be Fiorentina's replies to Heathfield without having to deal with it before, but if Costa, who has been confirmed to leave Fiorentina, becomes a player of other teams, then he will be faceless in the club - a general manager who cannot even meet the basic requirements of the head coach, so what if he can make money? Bayern is the facade of German football, and what he needs most is excellent results, not how much profit he can make every year.

Finally, after a difficult bargaining, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the price of US$20 million, which also marked the official countdown of Costa's day in Florence.

While Costa and Bayern were discussing personal treatment, Poirot was not idle, but began to introduce players on the shortlist.

Finnish international Sammy Hypia transferred from William II club for $4 million. Monaco sold main midfielder Claude Marklele to Purple Lily for $6 million. Lyonberg, who had not got much chance in Ajax, joined Fiorentina for $3.5 million. At the same time, Fiorentina also announced on its official website that the club will recall two young players who performed well this season in the summer. Next season, Purple Lily fans will see the two young players wearing purple jerseys at the Frankie Stadium.

Therefore, within just a week after the final of the Champions League, Fiorentina broke out in the transfer market: first, midfielder Rui Costa transferred to Bundesliga class bully Bayern Munich for $20 million, and then Zi Lily used this huge sum to sign five people in a row, which was quite stunning to do a big vote in the transfer market.

At this time, the managers of other teams were still waiting to grab the stars emerging in the World Cup, so when they noticed Fiorentina's move in the transfer market, they were all very surprised: I'll just pick them up, are they not going to see if there are any good people in the World Cup to take action, but just start acting impatiently?!

Perhaps other people may have hesitated for this kind of thing, but for Zhuang Mingge, a time traveler, no matter how good the players perform in the World Cup and European Cup, it is useless. Only those players who have proved themselves in their previous lives have the value of introduction.
