Extraordinary coach

However, Sun Yi did not receive good news that day. Instead, he received a very bad news in the afternoon: Roma was originally going to renew Salah's lease, but when they heard that Nice wanted to buy Salah, they simply switched to buying directly.

In terms of background and financial resources, Nice can't compare with Roma at all. If the other party is determined to buy Salah, Nice can't compete with them at all.

Now, Sun Yi immediately became anxious. Regardless of FIFA's regulations that prohibit private contact with players, he immediately picked up his mobile phone and called Salah.

After waiting anxiously for a long time, the call was finally connected.

"Hey, Salah. This is Sun Yi, do you remember me?" As soon as the call was connected, Sun Yi said anxiously.

"Hello. Coach Sun. Of course I remember. The agent just told me. He said that your Nice team asked Chelsea to buy me today. By the way, congratulations on becoming the head coach of Nice." Salah's tone on the other end of the phone was still quite cordial.

"Thank you. Since you already know, I won't be polite. I'm calling you now just to ask you, do you remember our previous agreement?" Sun Yi simply stated his purpose.

"Yes. I remember."

"That's great. To be honest, I really want you to come to my team. What I told you before about designing tactics and playing around you is absolutely my true idea." Sun Yi knew that the other party would come to Nice just by relying on the previous agreement that was like a joke. For matters related to personal interests, you must have enough sincerity to really impress the other party.

"..."

Obviously, the above words are not enough. Sun Yi continued: "If you are willing to come to Nice, I will give you unlimited firing rights. The attack will be initiated by you, and Balotelli and others will all cooperate with you."

"Hmm~" Salah's thoughtful voice came from the other end of the phone.

It seems that the other party has been aroused by him, so Sun Yi continued to say: "Such absolute core treatment is something you can't get in any other top five league teams. I know Roma also wants you. Roma is a team with more background than Nice, but they can never give you such treatment.

Ligue 1 may not be as good as the Premier League, but if you want to become a main player in Chelsea or other Premier League teams, it will be very difficult in two or three years. With your experience in the past few years, you should understand that I am not talking nonsense.

Come to Nice. Let me tailor a path for you to become the world's top star."

Sun Yi said everything he could think of in one breath to impress Salah. He said everything he should say, and then he waited for Salah's decision with some trepidation.

"...Okay. I decided to go to Nice." After a long time, Salah's firm voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

"Yeah! That's great. I promise you that you will never regret this decision today." Sun Yi immediately shouted excitedly.

"Haha, I believe it. I'm glad we're going to work together."

"I'm also very happy. Next, we'll wait for the transfer negotiations with Chelsea. I really hope to see you in Nice tomorrow."

"That's right."

"Haha..."

Sun Yi asked about Salah's recent situation again, and after chatting for a while, he hung up the phone.

"Yeah!! This is basically done." Sun Yi wanted to sing excitedly. Convincing Salah himself means that the transfer is basically done. Next, all Sun Yi has to do is wait for Salah's arrival and design tactics and future development paths for him.

Happy Sun Yi slept well again.

But when he arrived at the team's transfer department the next day, he didn't receive good news. Or it should be said that he received some not-so-good news.

It's not that Salah regretted it, nor that Chelsea rejected Nice's purchase application. It's that Nice's total transfer fee did not satisfy Chelsea.

Chelsea demanded a transfer fee of at least 20 million euros before they would let him go.

20 million euros is really a bargain for a player with S-level potential.

But the problem is that the entire transfer budget of Nice is only 15 million euros, and there is still a shortfall of 5 million euros.

Now the only obstacle for Sun Yi to get Salah is the 5 million euros. The most important thing for Sun Yi is to raise money.

Sun Yi wanted to call Zheng Nanyan as soon as possible. But he gave up quickly. Zheng Nanyan has given him enough support since he joined Nice. If he had no other choice, he would never think of asking Zheng Nanyan for support again.

"It seems that this is the only way." Sun Yi added a name to the cleanup list that he was going to hand over to the transfer department.

The owner of this name is someone that Sun Yi had considered again and again and dared not put on the cleanup list. But now only by selling this person can Salah's transfer fee be raised as quickly as possible.

"No. He absolutely cannot be sold. He is the future of our Nice team. He cannot be sold!" When Sun Yi handed the list of names to Bald Henry, he nodded reluctantly after seeing those names. But when he saw the last name that Sun Yi had just added, he immediately objected strongly.

"He must be sold. He must be sold first. Otherwise, we can't raise the funds to buy Salah as quickly as possible." Sun Yi said without hesitation.

"Absolutely cannot be sold. Others can be sold, but not him." Bald Henry also did not give in this time.

"I said, he will be sold first. He is not in my plan." Sun Yi said firmly.

"No, Coach Sun. You heard me. He is the future of our team and the favorite of the fans. If he is sold, the fans will not accept it. Really, we can't sell him. Otherwise we will lose all the fans." Bald Henry begged.

"No. He is not the future of our team. Salah is. I don't care about anyone's opinion, I only want Salah. Sell, sell all the people on it. If there is anything, I will be responsible alone." Sun Yi said firmly. He will never be shaken by the other party's words.

Compared with Salah, he doesn't care about selling anyone at all, even if it will offend the fans.

"Think about it again, okay? Coach Sun."

"No need to think about it again. Sell! Sell first. I will take responsibility for anything. You don't have to go to Pierre again. The boss will fully support my decision." Sun Yi stared at Bald Henry's eyes, just to let the other party know that his will will never change.

"Hey!!" Bald Henry sighed to the sky. Holding the list, he leaned back in his chair somewhat dejectedly.

Sun Yi ignored him and turned away calmly.

"Stupid! What future? If you don't sell it for a good price now, are you going to lose it later?"
