Extraordinary coach

The issue of Ronaldo's treatment made Sun Yi realize that with Southampton's current salary space, it would be impossible to achieve it anyway.

Even if he sold some players and could raise enough transfer fees, he would not be able to free up salary space.

It was just because Southampton did not have any big-name stars at present, and most of their salaries were not high.

Although the salary requirements proposed by Mendes at present were not necessarily Ronaldo's final treatment. But there would inevitably be a need for salary space to increase the treatment of other players accordingly.

This made it necessary for Southampton to ask the boss to make additional investment in order to sign Ronaldo.

Ask the boss to make additional investment.

Sun Yi hesitated. This season, the female boss Catarina has increased her investment by tens of millions. Now she has to add more, and at least 30 or 40 million pounds will be required. I'm afraid it's not easy.

Sun Yi hesitated again and again, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation to bring Ronaldo under his command.

When Sun Yi approached Catarina, the other party knew his intentions without him even mentioning it.

"Sun, do you think that the addition of Ronaldo will help our team achieve something in the Champions League?"

"I mean, at least make it to the semi-finals in the Champions League. Can you do it?"

That's the request?

Sun Yi was stunned when he heard it. He thought that the boss might have mentioned the condition of having to win the championship, but he didn't expect that it was just the semi-finals.

If it was just the semi-finals, let alone Ronaldo. He was very confident with Southampton's current lineup.

"Of course!" Sun Yi answered without any hesitation.

"Sun, are you serious? This is the semi-finals of the Champions League, not the Europa League!"

"Of course. If we can buy Ronaldo, the semi-finals are definitely possible. I have this confidence." If it was just the semi-finals, Sun Yi was too confident.

He couldn't even help but tell Catarina that the championship was possible. However, he still held back. If the championship was mentioned, the pressure would be too great. It's good now.

Catarina pondered.

After a long while, she nodded. "Okay. I can add more investment. However, I will give you accurate information about how much I can invest in two days."

This is to go to clear up the situation and see how much I can invest.

And Sun Yi wants this attitude from the boss. Although he doesn't know how much he can add in the end, Sun Yi is already very satisfied.

"Okay. Thank you, boss."

After leaving the boss's office, Sun Yi felt that his steps became lighter.

There is a feeling that the world will be in his hands.

No matter how much Catarina can invest in the end, it is still 30 or 40 million.

Because if the goal is to reach the top four, as long as you really do it, you can get a bonus of no less than 40 million euros. In addition, there is a share of the TV broadcast income.

Basically, this additional investment will be returned.

If you can win the championship, the income will be even more amazing. It will reach more than 100 million euros.

Therefore, Sun Yi thinks Catarina should invest another 30 or 40 million pounds.

And as long as there is this additional investment of 30 or 40 million, Ronaldo will basically sign. Sun Yi was very confident that Ronaldo would do so.

After returning to the coaching staff's office, Sun Yi told Dio and others the news, which immediately aroused cheers from the crowd.

Everyone became very excited and motivated by the news.

Sun Yi was very happy with everyone's reaction. He also decided to spread the news that the boss was going to make additional investments.

Soon, news that the Southampton boss was going to make additional investments spread out.

For a time, the fans of the Southampton team were all excited.

"Wow! It would be great if this news is true. That means Southampton is determined to get Ronaldo."

"If they can really get Ronaldo, Southampton will be so strong that they have no friends."

"Based on this situation, Southampton's ambitions this year are very big! They are clearly aiming for the Champions League."

"You know, Real Madrid, which has Ronaldo, has previously won the Champions League three times in a row. Ronaldo was born for the Champions League. Signing him is to win the Champions League."

"If we can really win the Champions League, it will be amazing!"

"..."

As soon as the news of the boss's additional investment came out, the morale of the Southampton team soared. Even the department head in charge of operating Ronaldo's transfer was more confident and more confident when talking.

In addition to encouraging the team's morale, Sun Yi released this news for another goal. He wanted to scare off Juventus.

At the same time, he was also expressing his position to Ronaldo.

Look, in order to get you to join our team. We have already risked our lives.

Ronaldo was very happy after hearing the news. He took the initiative to call Sun Yi again and expressed his eagerness to join Southampton. He also said that his treatment could be discussed. As long as he was given enough respect, it would be fine.

Ronaldo's call made Sun Yi very happy. At least, it proved that Ronaldo was not a money-grubber.

Such a person is comfortable to use.

Under such circumstances, the team and Mendes moved further towards the issue of Ronaldo's treatment. There should be no problem in reaching an agreement in time.

However, it was difficult to negotiate the transfer fee with Real Madrid.

Originally, Florentino wanted to lower the price. But after Juventus made a move to compete for him, he bit the transfer fee and refused to let go.

Currently, Ronaldo's transfer fee is stuck at 130 million euros.

This figure is still obviously much higher than Sun Yi's bottom line. So, he asked the person in charge of the transfer to continue the discussion.

Two days later, Catarina gave Sun Yi a definite news.

She was going to add an additional 50 million pounds. It would be credited in a few days.

50 million pounds!

This additional investment was completely beyond Sun Yi's expectations. It gave him a big surprise.

With this additional 50 million pounds. Although this is not all in the transfer budget, Sun Yi's transfer budget will exceed 100 million pounds.

With this money, let alone buying Ronaldo, he can continue the previous signing plan.

After calculating with the club staff, it was concluded that there was still money left after buying Ronaldo, and Sun Yi immediately restarted the signing plan that had been abandoned.

Ronaldo's transfer will definitely not have any results in a short period of time, and it will take time to grind.

Sun Yi decided to strengthen the team's midfield first. So as not to waste time waiting for the negotiation results.

Soon, within a few days, Sun Yi confirmed the candidate.

After personally taking action, he brought the players he wanted to Southampton.

And the first signing Sun Yi brought to Southampton in the new season was:

Paulinho.
