Chapter 2 Degan's Next Stop
Even if he had to recover for nearly half a year due to injury, when Degan flowed into the transfer market, it still attracted the attention of many big teams.
Degan's liquidated damages are only 35 million, which many teams can afford. Even if Degan recovers from his injury, he can only play half of his combat effectiveness, and 35 million is worth it.
Degan is in Brussels, and Mendes' phone calls every day. Either Real Madrid wants to buy it today, or Barcelona will contact him tomorrow. Otherwise, the old Buddha of Manchester United hopes that Degan can go to Manchester United to partner with Rooney.
"Helhow! As I said, I don't want to leave Italy yet!"
Degan doesn't want to leave Italy, not to worry about changing the environment, which will affect his state. In fact, Degan's characteristics will be more like a fish in water if he goes to La Liga or the Premier League.
However, Digan doesn't want to leave a position before completing the conquest. Previously, in Atlanta, although he won the Serie A and the Coppa Italia, no matter how good his performance is, he has not proved his ability in Europe, and 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 was very low. If it hadn't been for a large number of goals, Degan might have been forgotten.
What is conquest?
Without the Triple Crown and no one worthy of himself, Degan will not easily marry himself.
Mendes is also helpless about Degan's stubbornness. If Degan is willing to go out, Mendes can guarantee that he can definitely win a super good contract for Degan. Unfortunately, Degan is unwilling.
Italy's tax policy is the most troublesome. Degan's annual salary of three million after tax is not high. With his ability, he can win three million, not to mention five million, six million and eight million.
Ronaldinho is a loser in the World Cup. Look at his treatment in Barcelona. His annual salary is 8 million, which is more than twice that of Dugan.
Players eat youth. If they don't make money all their lives while they are young, what they will eat in the future, and there are examples of poverty after retirement.
"But now Inter Milan has Ibrahimovic, and they also have Crespo, Adriano, and Cruz and Rod! I don't think they still need you!"
"I never said I wanted to go next door!"
Although Digan is very unhappy at AC Milan, it can't change the fact that he is an AC Milan fan. Since his previous life, Dugan has been a loyalist of AC Milan. If it weren't for the fat guy Ancelotti here, Digan even hopes to play for AC Milan for a lifetime until he retires.
Even if he was leaving now, Degan could not persuade himself to turn to AC Milan's same city rival Inter Milan, so from the beginning, when Moratti tried to contact Mendes and hoped to introduce him, Degan did not hesitate to refuse. Although he went to Inter Milan, his annual salary could be doubled.
"Is there no news from Florence?"
After Degan asked this sentence, he was a little annoyed. Before, he came to Delaware and Prandelli. He came to the door several times with sincerity, hoping that Degan could turn to Purple Lily.
But after Degan was injured, there was no news at all. Now Degan wants to find a new team, but he can't find the door.
"I'm sorry, Rod! They don't seem to be interested in you anymore, you know, they recently introduced Mutu!"
Mutu?
That Romanian addict?
When Mendes heard that Digan had no sound, he knew that Digan must be angry, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Rod! Don't think about Florence. If they were really sincere, they would have contacted us long ago. Maybe they are worried that your injury can't be completely healed, which can't be helped!"
Digan was silent for a while and said, "Wait another day. If they still don't move, I won't go to Purple Lily in my life!"
At the same time, in the office building of the Florence Club.
"Mr. Chairman! We can't hesitate any more. This is the best opportunity. We must get Digan! Must get him! With him, we will definitely make a huge breakthrough next season! I don't understand why the club hasn't taken any action yet. Are we going to give up Degan?
Prandelli's voice was a little loud, which was simply questioning. What had been said, but Delava actually came to retreat.
Drava came to see Prandelli and said quickly, "Calm down! Mr. Coach! Of course I hope to get Rod! But he is injured now, and it will take half a year to recover. No one knows what will happen in the future. We can't let the club take this risk!"
Although Delaware is a fan, he is even more a businessman. He is unwilling to do a loss-making business, and now Degan can't play football for at least half a year. If Degan is introduced, he is bound to pay a big contract. At that time, half a year's salary alone will be a big loss.
Drava appreciates Degan very much, but when it comes to interests, that's two things!
Prandelli sneered: "Mr. Chairman! Do you plan to introduce Degan in half a year? I bet that Degan will never look at us at that time. I know his personality. If others dare to ignore him, he will never forgive him. At that time, we will miss a super player who can lead Florence to glory. Mr. Chairman, please consider what to do. The loss will be greater!?"
Drava admitted that Prandelli's statement is very reasonable, but he just can't convince himself. Now that he introduces Degan, he must take a lot of risks. Once Degan can't recover, once Degan's old injury relapses in the future, and once Degan's state disappears, what should he do then?
Drava doesn't want to take this risk.
"Maybe we can try to get in touch with Degan. After his injury recovers, we will introduce him during the winter break?"
When Prandelli heard this, he wanted to take the computer on his desk and cut it on Dela's head and knock it open to see if it contained soy milk or bean curd brain.
"Degan said, 'Those who believe in me, I will repay him 100%, and those who don't believe in me, I will let him know my strength.', Mr. Chairman, are you going to stand on the opposite side of Degan? As for your worries, I don't think it's necessary at all. Degan's ability is beyond doubt. Even if he only recovers from his injury and only returns to 50%, he is still one of the best strikers in the world. Anything else? Mr. Chairman, won't you take risks in every investment you make?"
Of course you have to bear the risk!
But this is not a small amount, at least 35 million euros. This investment is too big to hesitate again and again.
But once this investment is successful, the return will definitely be unimaginable. Maybe he will become the greatest chairman in the history of Florence, and maybe someone will stand up a statue for him outside the stadium.
Thinking about it, Delaware came to be moved.
"Okay! I will contact AC Milan as soon as possible. Since I want to gamble, I will bet on it!"
Drava didn't know that if he hesitated again, Florence would be insulated from Degan forever.
35 million!
When Florence's offer was handed to Galliani, Galliani's eyelids couldn't help beating. At this time, there was a lot of news about Degan's transfer, and Florence was the first one to take action.
As for those giant teams, they are all thundering and raindrops, and they are all talking, but none of them are serious.
Galliani also knows that Degan's transfer is irreparable, but he does not feel sorry. Milan laboratory has given the answer that Degan's injury recurrence rate is 100%. Once he is injured again, Degan's career will be ruined.
So Galliani also hopes to sell Degan, but not 35 million. He hopes to get more from Degan.
"Reply to Florence, just say that Degan is our non-sale!"
Even if Delaware comes to pay liquidated damages directly, as long as Degan does not nod, the transaction cannot be completed.
AC Milan refused the offer?
Drava and Prandelli don't know what Galliani is thinking. Since Galliani doesn't nod, they have to go to Degan. As long as Degan agrees to transfer, even AC Milan can't stop it.
However, Degan's reply was also beyond their expectation.
"My employer asked Florence to raise the offer by 40 million euros, and he hopes to leave with a transfer fee that matches his value!"
The value of Digan?
Not to mention 40 million, even 100 million is difficult to reach. You should know Degan's strength, but it has been proved on the big stage that there is no one in the world's first striker. Degan is the world's first striker.
The reason why Degan asked Mendes to tell Fiorentina to raise the offer is just because he hopes to do something for AC Milan when he leaves. AC Milan is really sorry for him, but he is a fan of AC Milan.
"Increase the offer?" Delaware's face was a little gloomy, "Is that boy crazy? Does he know what he is doing?
Prandelli didn't say anything, but he knew from his expression that he hoped that Delaware would agree.
"Isn't his liquidated damages 35 million? Not only did he not help put pressure on AC Milan, but he even asked us to raise the offer. That boy is simply crazy!"
Although Delaware was annoyed, he did not say that he would give up the introduction of Degan. He was very clear about Prandelli's temper. Compared with Degan, he would not give much. If he really couldn't bring Degan to Prandelli, he would have to choose.
In the eyes of Delaware, Degan is important, but Prandelli is more important. Prandelli is the hope of Florence's revival.
And Prandelli is good at training young players. When he was in Parma, Adriano, Bonera, Gilardino and others were his disciples and processed semi-finished products into stars, which meant making money.
In the final analysis, Delaware came to invest in Florence to make money, like Udinese.
"Menders is very resolute, which is also Degan's original words, Mr. Chairman! I don't think it's a difference. It only takes five million to get the best striker in the world. Degan can bring not only goals, but also championships!"
Champion!
Drava is moved again. He can't help but be moved by the champion. The champion not only represents honor, but also a lot of benefits!
And Degan does have this ability. With such an unpopular team in Atlanta, Degan can lead them to win the double championship of the First League and the Coppa Italia. No one is optimistic about AC Milan. Degan can take them to kill Arsenal. Can the Champions League champion and Belgium, although it is also considered Europe? The main component of football, in the final analysis, is a second-rate position in Europe, and can actually reach the final of the World Cup under the leadership of Degan.
If Degan is not injured, maybe Degan can lead Belgium to the World Cup.
"All right!" Delaware made this decision with difficulty, "Proposit 40 million for AC Milan! Also tell Mendes that I hope he can communicate well with AC Milan.
When Florence's offer of 40 million euros was delivered to Galliani, Mendes' phone call also came.
"Mr. Galliani! I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but my employer Degan hopes to transfer to Florence! And everything he can do for AC Milan has been done, and we all hope that this deal can go smoothly!"
Galliani understood as soon as he heard that Degan and Florence must have contacted each other, but he sold Degan for 40 million euros, and he was still unwilling.
"Maybe we can discuss it again, Mr. Mendes, you should know that Chelsea paid 87 million euros to buy Degan last season, but we refused. Fiorentina is only willing to pay 40 million euros, which is too low. If Degan is willing to cooperate with the team to put some pressure on Fiorentina. Well, we are willing to give you part of the transfer fee as a reward!"
Will Mendes not be moved?
Of course not!
But Mendes knows better what Digan would do if he ruined Degan's business?
You can't lose big because of small!
"Thank you very much for your generosity, but unfortunately, this is what Rod means. If AC Milan does not agree, maybe he will agree to transfer after Florence has paid enough liquidated damages!"
Galliani was stunned and scolded in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. When Digan and AC Milan re-signed the contract, Galliani felt that it was impossible for Digan to leave AC Milan at all, so the penalty was only 35 million euros, and now he took a stone and hit his foot.
What if you don't agree?
At that time, Digan will be annoyed, and the extra five million will be gone: "Okay! Degan can go to Florence to negotiate the contract now. Good luck!"
When he hung up the phone, Galliani also regretted it. He didn't know whether the results given by the Milan laboratory would really happen. If it happened, it must be the best decision to trade Degan now, but once Degan~~~~
At that time, I'm afraid Galliani will be scolded as a fool again!
After AC Milan gave a positive reply, Delaware and Prandelli were also full of excitement.
"Mr. Coach! I don't think you have any other requirements now, 40 million euros! Oh my God! I hope my decision today is correct!"
Prandelli laughed and said, "Of course! I can assure you that Degan will definitely become the greatest player in the history of Florence!"
"Okay! I'm going to arrange to negotiate a contract with Mendes now. I hope the Portuguese vampire's teeth won't be too sharp!"
Degan, who is far away in Brussels, also got the news of the transfer. Degan is also satisfied with the transfer to Fiorentina. Although Fiorentina is not qualified for the European game next season, Fiorentina and Atlanta are completely different. At least they have a chairman who is willing to spend money.
"Helhow! Everything about the contract is up to you! You are the professional in this regard! I just hope to get a contract that matches my value and the rights I claim!"
When Mendes heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Degan had told Prandelli before that he had claimed the rights he claimed, but Florence had never been able to reply. In Mendes's opinion, Degan's request was a little too much, and Florence would agree that there was a ghost.
"Rod! I really don't understand why you have that right. You are just a player. Your job is to play well. For other things, I think you are not a professional. I know you did a good job when you were in Atlanta, but maybe it's just a matter of luck!"
Luck?
Can Digan tell Mendes that he came here?
"Helhow! 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 promise that you will definitely get more benefits than now. Don't forget that Moggi's son is not so popular in Italian football now.
Moji's youngest son's brokerage company monopolized almost all the Italian players, but after the phone time was exposed, the once majestic brokerage company also became unlucky.
"Okay! I will do my best to fight for it, if they refuse to agree~~~~"
"Then I refuse to sign the contract. I don't believe that no team in the world pays 35 million for me!"
