Chapter 5 He has the final say

The Olympic Games returned with honor. When Degan and Compani return to Florence, the new season of Serie A is imminent. Before that, there will be an Italian Super Cup competition, and Fiorentina will compete with Inter Milan at the Flagi Stadium.

However, there are some more difficult things waiting for Degan to deal with. In Florence, people know that there is a behind-the-scenes boss Dela, as well as Executive Chairman Pakinwa and head coach Prandelli, but people know better that it is Degan who really has the final say.

This is the right that team owner Dela gave to Degan. For two consecutive seasons, Fiorentina has frequently attacked the transfer market according to Degan's suggestion and has had enough benefits. Even if Executive Chairman Pakinwa is not satisfied with the passage of power, he can only swallow his anger and watch Degan in his Point fingers within the scope of rights.

On the day Degan returned to Florence, the team's head coach Prandelli arrived at Degan's home. In front of Degan were a lot of quotations from other clubs.

Florence's crazy performance last season made all the players in the team popular in the eyes of other clubs, and even the team's No. 2 goalkeeper Lou Patelli has many pursuers.

"Are they going to beat the team all?" Degan smiled and threw some transfer offers aside, and some of the team had to keep them.

Prandelli is also very annoyed these days. Pakinwa, the executive chairman of the team, comes to bother him every day. He also sees that Pakinwa is moved. To be precise, Delava is moved. Some clubs have offered some players in the team to an irresistible level.

For example, Real Madrid wants 40 million euros to buy Modric, Barcelona wants 37 million to buy Ledesma, Inter Milan wants 20 million to buy Motta, and AC Milan wants 230 million to buy Antoni and Abat, and even some small teams have sent offers to buy their favorite players.

"Do you really regard Florence as a star supermarket?" Degan threw all those offers aside with a black face.

Plandley also smiled bitterly: "Rod! There are some things that we can't decide, and these quotations can be left for you to come back to decide, which is very rare!"

Prandelli did not say it clearly, but the meaning is already obvious. He is telling Degan that the reason why Fiorentina has not had a transfer deal so far is that Dela has come to give face and abide by the terms stipulated in the original contract, but it is impossible to keep all the players of last season.

Degan was also very clear about these things, but just watching the team being separated, he couldn't understand: "Cesare! Are you really willing?"

Prandelli shook his head: "Of course, I'm not willing. If Florence can maintain a stable lineup now, the whole European football world will not threaten us in the next few years, even ten years, but Rod! We all have to face the reality that football is more important to us than life, but for Mr. Delaware, it is just a toy, and Florence is just a toy in his hand.

"Damn it!" Degan grabbed the offer angrily and couldn't wait to tear it all up.

At this time, Degan's mobile phone rang. The previous step had been reimbursed with Irina's empathy, and Degan had just changed one.

Digan didn't expect that it was Pakinwa, the executive chairman of the team, who called. He chatted a few words with a gloomy face and hung up the phone.

"Pakinwa asked us to go to his office now, that shit, who do you think he is? Does he really think he is a hero of Florence?"

Prandelli patted Degan on the shoulder with a smile: "Rod! Don't be angry about these things, okay! Let's go and see what he wants to say!"

Degan drove Prandelli to the training base in Florence. Pakinwa was already waiting for them in the office. Seeing Degan, Pakinwa looked very enthusiastic.

"Rod! Congratulations, congratulations on winning the Olympic championship. It was a wonderful game. I knew from the beginning that no one could beat you!"

Digan's enthusiasm for Pakinwa is very cold, because this bastard is now thinking about breaking up his team. In the past two seasons, they cooperated well, but Fiorentina's record is getting better and better, the value of the players is getting higher and higher, and the conflict between the two people begins to appear. Pakinwa hopes to communicate. After selling players to cash out, Degan hopes to maintain the stability of the lineup and win more honors in the future.

After the end of last season, Pakinwa had this thought, but at that time, Fiorentina had not won any championship, and Delaware did not want to break up this newly formed team. With the support of Delawa, Pakinwa had to stop.

But now it's different. Without the support of Delwa, in Pakinwa's eyes, Degan is at best an influential player in the team.

"Let's get straight to the point! Mr. Pakinwa, I don't like to go rounds. What do you want to do? Isn't it waiting for me to come back and decide? You can say it now!" Degan's tone was not good.

Pakinwa frowned and was very dissatisfied with Degan's attitude: "Rod! In fact, you don't need to ask about these things, but Coach Prandelli said that the original contract stipulated that every transfer transaction in Florence must get your consent, okay! I respect the original contract very much. I called you here today, just to inform you that the club will make a big move in the transfer market recently!"

Degan resisted the impulse of an electric gun to kill Pakinwa and sneered, "Is the big move going to open a supermarket in Florence and then shoot all the players at a clearly marked price? Very good! Mr. Pakinwa, I don't know how much you bid for me, so I can discuss with my agent where to go next!"

Pajinva was killed by Digan and looked even worse. Of course, he wanted Digan to get out of here and really control the rights of Florence, but he knew that it was impossible. Anyone in Florence could leave, but Degan couldn't. Delaware still attach great importance to Digan now.

"Rod! Don't joke. Everyone knows that you are the captain, leader and flag of Florence. Anyone in Florence can leave, but the club will never agree to any offer about you, even if a team is willing to pay 100 million euros!"

Pakinwa's flattery, Digan only felt disgusted: "I really didn't expect that I was important to the club, so what about the others!?"

When Pakinwa knew that the play was coming, he immediately changed into a helpless expression: "Rod! I hope you can understand the difficulties of the club, that's right! Every player in Florence is the hero of the Triple Crown last season, but the better the team is now, and the treatment demanded by the players is getting higher and higher, and the club can no longer support it!"

If Prandelli hadn't pulled Degan's arm, Degan would have slapped him. What nonsense Pakinwa said.

Florence can't make ends meet!?

Is this insulting Degan's IQ or being smart?

Florence won all the championships last season, with bonuses, TV broadcast sharing, various sponsorship contracts, and ticket revenue, which made Florence make a lot of money.

And the annual salary after tax of all the players of the first team of the club is only more than 60 million euros. Such a triple champion team is also closely ranked in the middle of all 20 teams in Serie A. Compared with Inter Milan's casual annual salary of more than 200 million euros after tax, it is simply a small thing.

Last season, Florence's total income was several times that of his annual salary, and Pakinwa dared to cry in front of Degan.

Degan didn't say anything, waiting for Pakinwa to finish the play.

Pakinwa continued: "I think you can understand the financial pressure, so I hope~~~~~~"

"Sell players to cash out!" Degan interrupted Pakinwa's words and then said, "But Mr. Pakinwa, have you considered what kind of impact it will have after breaking up the main framework of the current team? Have you considered the team's achievements?"

pakinwa is very disdainful of Digan's problem. What honors, championships and achievements are all virtual. Making money is the real hard truth.

"This is the key reason why I came to you, Rod! Now you are the only one who has a pair of God-given eyes. Haven't we been doing this for the past two seasons? Buying young players at a low price, I think it's time to harvest. This operation is obviously more beneficial to the club and can ensure financial health!"

Digan listened and couldn't help but get angry. Does this bastard think he is omnipotent? Is a good player a cabbage? Degan does know a lot of excellent young people that no one has found, but to introduce a young player depends not only on his future development, but also on whether the opponent is suitable for Florence's tactics, such as David. Silva, when he had not made a fortune before, Florence had a full opportunity to introduce it, but David. Silva is not suitable for the current Florentine tactics, and Degan can only give up his love.

"You think I can do everything, right?" Degan's anger has been uncontrollable.

Pakinwa didn't want to talk to Degan anymore, and said bluntly, "Rod! I must consider the club, and now some of these players can guarantee the best interests of the team!"

Digan couldn't help sneering and didn't intend to save face for the other party: "Mr. Pakinwa, I also ask you to figure out one thing. Who has the final say on Florence's transfer!"

Pakinwa heard this and turned black: "What do you mean!"

Degan stood up and said, "It's meaningless. I'm just following the contract. Mr. Pakinwa, have you ever played football? Have you ever won any honor? What right do you have to dictate my rights? You'd better figure it out and lead the players to fight on the field. It's me who won honor for this team. The person who commands this team is Cesare. Within our rights, you are not qualified to decide anything!"

Pakinwa saw that Digan suddenly tore his face without warning and said angrily, "Mr. Wright, you'd better know who you're talking to!"

Degan said indifferently, "You are threatening me now, aren't you?" Of course, if you want to bypass me and break up this team, you have another way, that is to label me and sell it like a goods. Otherwise, you don't want to make any deal without my consent, that's it! You men sitting in the office think you can control everything. Now I'm going to tell you that you are wrong, big wrong, and you can't decide anything!"

After saying that, Degan turned around and left, and Prandelli also left behind him. During the previous period of Degan's absence, he was also full of anger. As long as he was the head coach, no one wanted his team to be separated.

After Degan and Prandelli left, Pakinwa, who reacted, was furious and swept everything on the table to the ground.

After venting, Pakinwa called Delava for the first time and told him about it.

After Delaware came to be silent for a long time, he said, "Forget it!"

"No! Boss! This can't be the case. Florence is your asset. You can't let a small player do anything. I've read all those offers. As long as we can complete the transaction, we can earn at least hundreds of millions of euros!"

Drava's heart is also angry. When he recruited Degan, although he was able to be a virtuous sergeant, but when the team gained honor, he thought more about interests. Now he is also regretting that he should not agree to Degan's conditions at the beginning, which is simply a cocoon.

Of course, Delaware can instruct Pakinwa to sell Degan. Anyway, Degan does not lack buyers. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea and International Milan are all potential big sellers, and Real Madrid has even set the price to 100 million euros.

But once he really did that, Delava can imagine that angry Florentine fans will definitely tear him alive.

Drava doesn't want to fall out completely with Degan now. Once he falls out, it won't be good for him.

"Okay! Don't talk about it. This is the end of this matter. In the future, Prandelli and Degan will still be responsible for the transfer. For the time being, that's it!"

Drava came to hang up the phone. Although Pakinwa was still angry, he also heard what Delava meant. That's it for the time being!

"Damn bastard, let's see how long you can be proud!"
