Chapter 2 Digan's Next Stop
Even though it took nearly half a year to recuperate due to injuries, when Degan entered the transfer market, he still attracted the attention of many wealthy teams.
Degan's liquidated damages are only 35 million, which many teams can afford. Even if Degan can only play half of his combat effectiveness after recovering from injury, 35 million is still worth it.
Degan is in Brussels, and Mendes calls every day. Either Real Madrid wants to buy him today, or Barcelona will contact him tomorrow, or Manchester United's Lafayette hopes that Degan can go to Manchester United to partner with Rooney as a striker.
"Hell how! As I said, I don't want to leave Italy just yet!"
Degan doesn't want to leave Italy, not because he is worried that changing the environment will affect his state. In fact, if Degan's characteristics go to La Liga or the Premier League, he will be more at ease.
It's just that Degan doesn't want to leave a position before he has completed his conquest. In Atlanta, although he won the Serie A and Italian Cup championships, his performance was just as good as it was, and he failed to prove himself in the European arena. Ability, he is not a top star.
After going to AC Milan, Degan won the Champions League trophy, but the conflict with Ancelotti, coupled with injuries, his attendance rate is very low, if it is not for a large number of goals, Degan may have to been forgotten by people.
What counts as conquest?
Without the Triple Crown, no one worthy of his worth, Digan will not marry him off easily.
Mendes is also very helpless to Degan's stubbornness. If Degan is willing to go out, Mendes can guarantee that he will definitely win a super-best contract for Degan, but unfortunately, Degan is not willing.
Italy's tax policy is the most troublesome. Degan's annual salary of 3 million after tax is not considered high. With his ability, let alone 3 million, it is 5 million, 6 million, 8 million , he can fight for it.
Ronaldinho was Degan's defeat in the World Cup. Looking at his treatment in Barcelona, his annual salary is 8 million, which is more than twice that of Degan.
Players eat the food of youth, if they don't earn all their money while they are young, what will they eat in the future?
"But now Inter Milan already has Zlatan Ibrahimovic, they also have Crespo, Adriano, Cruz, Rhodes! I don't think they still need you!"
"I never said I wanted to go next door!"
Although Degan is very unhappy in AC Milan, but it can't change the fact that he is an AC Milan fan. Since his previous life, Degan has been a loyal fan of AC Milan. If there is not that fat guy Ancelotti here, Degan even hopes to play for AC Milan all his life until he retires.
Even if he had to leave now, Degan couldn't convince himself to turn to Inter Milan, AC Milan's rival in the same city, so from the very beginning, when Moratti tried to contact Mendes, hoping to introduce him, Degan did not hesitate. He refused without hesitation, even if he went to Inter Milan, his annual salary could be doubled.
"Is there no news from Florence?"
After Degan asked this question, he felt a little annoyed. It was Delaware and Prandelli who came to the door several times before, showing sincerity, hoping that Degan could switch to Viola.
But after Degan was injured, there was no news at all. Now Degan wanted to find a new team, but he couldn't find the door.
"It's a pity, Rhodes! They don't seem to be interested in you anymore. You know, they recently introduced Mutu!"
Mutu?
That Romanian junkie?
Mendes heard that Degan had lost his voice, and knew that Degan must be angry, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Rod! Don't think about Florence, if they are really sincere, they would have contacted us long ago. , maybe they are worried that your injury will not heal completely, and this is something that cannot be helped!"
Digan was silent for a while, and said: "Wait another day, if they still don't make any move, I will never go to Zi Lily in my life!"
At the same time, in the office building of the Florence club.
"Mr. Chairman! We can't hesitate anymore. This is the best opportunity. We must get Degan! We must get him! As long as we have him, we can definitely achieve a huge breakthrough next season! I don't understand why the club There has been no action so far, are we planning to give up Digan?"
Prandelli's voice was a bit loud, as if he was questioning something that had already been said, but Delaware actually backed down.
Delaware came to see Prandelli emotionally, and hurriedly said: "Calm down! Mr. Coach! Of course I hope to get Rhodes! But he is injured now, and it will take half a year to recover. What will happen in the future? Who knows?" I don't know, we can't let the club take this risk!"
Although Delaware is a fan, he is also a businessman. He is not willing to make a loss-making business, and now Degan will not be able to play football for at least half a year. If Degan is introduced, he will definitely pay a big contract. Sometimes, the salary for the past six months alone is not a small loss.
Delaware admired Digan very much, but when it comes to interests, it's two different things!
Prandelli sneered: "Mr. Chairman! Are you planning to bring in Digan after half a year? I bet that Digan won't even look at us at that time. I have some understanding of his character. If If others dare to ignore his words, he will never forgive him. At that time, we will miss a super player who can lead Fiorentina to achieve glory. Mr. Chairman, please think about it, what to do, the loss will be even greater!?"
Delaware came to admit that what Prandelli said was very reasonable, but he just couldn't convince himself that the introduction of Degan would inevitably take a lot of risks. Once Degan couldn't recover, once Degan's old injury relapsed , once the state of Digan disappears, what should I do then?
Delaware didn't want to take that risk.
"Maybe we can try to get in touch, and after Degan recovers from his injury, we can introduce him during the winter break?"
When Prandelli heard this, he wanted to take the computer on his desk and chop off Delaware's head, knock his head open, and see if it contained soy milk or tofu brain.
"Deegan once said, 'Those who believe in me, I will reward him 100%, and those who don't believe in me, I will let him know how good I am', Mr. Chairman, are you planning to stand against Deegan? On the surface? As for your worries, I think there is absolutely no need for them. There is no doubt about Degan's ability. Even if he recovers from his injury and only recovers to 50% of his condition, he is still the best striker in the world. One, the other? Mr. Chairman, don't you take any risk in every investment you make?"
Of course you have to take the risk!
But this is not a small amount, at least thirty-five million euros, this investment is too big, even Delaware has to hesitate.
But once this investment is successful, the return will be unimaginable. Maybe he will become the greatest chairman in the history of Florence. At that time, someone will erect a statue for him outside the stadium and say indefinite.
Thinking about it, Delaware was moved.
"Okay! I will contact AC Milan as soon as possible, and if you want to bet, make a bet!"
Delaware didn't know that if he hesitated again, Florence would be separated from Digan forever.
Thirty-five million!
When Fiorentina's offer was handed to Galliani, Galliani's eyelids couldn't help twitching. At this time, there was a lot of news about Degan's transfer, but Fiorentina was still the first to take action. Home.
As for those wealthy teams, there is a lot of thunder and little rain, and everyone is talking about it, but none of them are serious.
Galliani also knows that Degan's transfer is irreversible, but he doesn't feel regretful. The Milan laboratory has given the answer. The recurrence rate of Degan's injury is 100%. If he is injured again, Degan's career will be ruined. To be finished.
So Galliani also hopes to sell Degan, but not for 35 million. He hopes to get more from Degan.
"Reply to Florence and say that Digan is not for sale!"
Even if Delaware came to pay the liquidated damages directly, as long as Digan didn't nod, the deal couldn't be completed.
ac milan rejected the offer?
Delaware and Prandelli didn't know what Galliani was thinking. Since Galliani didn't nod, they had no choice but to go to Digan. As long as Digan agreed to transfer, it would be AC Milan. Can't stop it.
But Degan's reply was beyond their expectations.
"My employer asked Fiorentina to increase the offer to 40 million euros, and he hopes to leave with a transfer fee worthy of his worth!"
Worthy of Degan's worth?
Don't say 40 million, even 100 million is hard to reach. You must know Degan's strength, but it has been proved on the big stage. There is no one in the world's number one striker. Deegan is the world's number one striker.
The reason why Digan asked Mendes to tell Fiorentina to increase the offer was only because he hoped to do something for AC Milan when he left. AC Milan was indeed sorry for him, but he was an AC Milan fan.
"Increase the offer?" Delaware's face was a little gloomy, "Is that kid crazy? Does he know what he's doing?"
Prandelli didn't speak, but it was clear from his expression that he hoped Delaware would agree.
"Isn't his liquidated damages 35 million? Not only did he not help us put pressure on AC Milan, he actually asked us to raise the price. That kid is simply crazy!"
Although Delaware was annoyed, he didn't say that he would give up on bringing in Degan. He knew that Prandelli's temper was not much better than that of Degan. If he really couldn't give Prandelli If Leigh brings Digan, it is not certain that Prandelli will give up the pick at that time.
In Delaware's eyes, Digan is important, but Prandelli is even more important, and Prandelli is the only hope for Florence's revival.
And Prandelli is good at cultivating young players. When he was in Parma, Adriano, Bonera, Gilardino and others were all his disciples. Processing semi-finished products into stars means making money .
In the end, Delava came to invest in Florence just to make money, like Udinese.
"Mendez is very determined, and this is what Degan said, Mr. Chairman! I don't think this is a disagreement. With only five million, we can get the best striker in the world. What Degan can bring Just goals and titles!"
champion!
Delaware was moved again, he couldn't help but be moved by the champion, the championship does not only represent honor, it is a lot of benefits!
And Degan does have this ability, Atlanta is such a low-level team, Degan can lead them to win the Serie A and Italian Cup double crown, no one is optimistic about AC Milan, Degan can lead With them killing Arsenal, could it be that the champions of the Champions League and Belgium, although they are considered the main components of European football, are in the final analysis just a second-tier bottom position in Europe, and they can all reach the World Cup finals under the leadership of Degan .
If Degan is not injured, maybe Degan can lead Belgium to the World Cup.
"Okay!" Delaware made this difficult decision, "Offer AC Milan 40 million! Also tell Mendes, I hope he can communicate well with AC Milan."
When Fiorentina's offer of 40 million euros was sent to Galliani, Mendes' call also came.
"Mr. Galliani! Sorry to bother you at this time, my employer Degan hopes to transfer to Fiorentina! And he has done everything he can do for AC Milan, we all hope that this transaction can go smoothly!"
As soon as Galliani heard it, he understood that Degan must have contacted Fiorentina, but he was still not reconciled to selling Degan for 40 million euros.
"Maybe we can discuss it again, Mr. Mendes, you should know that last season Chelsea offered 87 million euros to buy Digan, but we rejected them all. Fiorentina only paid 40 million euros. It is too low, if Degan is willing to cooperate with the team to put some pressure on Fiorentina, we are willing to give you part of the transfer fee as a reward!"
Will Mendes be unmoved?
Of course not!
But Mendes knew better, what would Degan do if he ruined Degan's affairs?
You can't lose the big because of the small!
"I am very grateful for your generosity, but unfortunately, this is what Rhodes meant. If AC Milan does not agree, maybe he will agree to transfer after Florence pays enough liquidated damages!"
Galliani was taken aback, and cursed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. When Degan and AC Milan re-signed the contract, Galliani felt that it was impossible for Degan to leave AC Milan, so the liquidated damages were only Thirty-five million euros, and now they shot themselves in the foot.
What can I do if I don't agree?
At that time, Degan will be anxious, and the extra five million will be gone: "Okay! Degan can go to negotiate a contract with Florence now, I wish you good luck!"
After hanging up the phone, Galliani regretted it for a while. He didn't know whether the results given by the Milan laboratory would really happen. If it happened, it would definitely be the best decision to trade Digan now. But once Digan~~~~
When the time comes, I'm afraid Galliani will be called a fool again!
After AC Milan gave an affirmative reply, Delavalai and Prandelli couldn't hide their excitement.
"Mr. Coach! I think you should have no other demands now, forty million euros! God! I hope my decision today is correct!"
Prandelli laughed: "Of course! I can assure you that Degan will definitely become the greatest player in Fiorentina history!"
"Okay! I'm going to arrange someone to negotiate a contract with Mendes now, I hope that Portuguese vampire's teeth won't be too sharp!"
Degan, who is far away in Brussels, also got the news that the transfer was completed. He is also satisfied with being able to switch to Fiorentina. Although Fiorentina will not qualify for the European war next season, Fiorentina and Atlanta are completely different. At least they There is a chairman willing to spend money.
"Hell! I will leave everything to you about the contract! You are the professional in this regard! I only hope to get a contract worthy of my worth, and the rights I demand!"
Mendes couldn't help being a little embarrassed when he heard this. Degan had told Prandelli before that he asked for the right, but Fiorentina had not been able to give a reply. In Mendes' view, Degan's request It's all a bit too much, and Florence will agree that there is something wrong with it.
"Rod! I really don't understand why you must have that right. You are just a player. Your job is to play the game well. I don't think you are a professional about other things. I know you did well in Atlanta, but maybe that was just luck!"
luck?
Can Digan tell Mendes that he has traveled through time?
"Hell! This matter is not negotiable. I must get this right. Of course, it is also good for you. If you believe in my vision, you can act now. I guarantee that the benefits you will get will definitely be better than More now, let's not forget that Moggi's son is not so popular in Italian football now."
The agency of Moggi's youngest son has almost monopolized all the Italian players, but after the news of the phone call was exposed, the once prestigious agency also suffered bad luck.
"Okay! I will try my best to fight for it, if they refuse to agree~~~~~~~~"
"Then I refuse to sign the contract. I don't believe that there is no team in this world that pays 35 million for me!"
