My name is Colani

Trapani's summer recruitment focus is on central defenders. Bielsa hopes the team will add at least two central defenders to cope with the three-back formation. He hopes that the team will continue the 343 formation next season.

The reason why Seli chose Pique is because the central defender position needs a tall player like him. Trapani's back line lacks tall players. The tallest ones are Victor and Barzali, who are only about 1.87 meters tall. Victor is brave but has rough skills. Now looking back, Ancelotti gave up on him for a reason.

Lippi's choice of him is more like choosing a central defender like Materazzi. Materazzi also has rough skills and is tall and mighty.

For midfielders, forwards, defenders, Seli and the scout department have a list of names, either recommended by agents or found by the scout department themselves. In general, there are many people.

The current economic downturn has not stopped the madness of the transfer market. The destroyers of market rules are Chelsea, Trapani, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester City and the like.

Hugo has received less controversy because he took over the team earlier, but Chelsea and Manchester City have been blamed anyway, and Abrahimovic sometimes can't help complaining that Hugo spends as much money as he does.

Due to limited transfer funds, as a trial season to balance income and expenditure, Seli had to remove many famous stars, and the remaining ones are naturally some younger ones who show signs of emerging.

After the end of the season, Seli flew to Hamburg, Germany, and visited Hamburg Club Chairman of the Board Bernd Hoffmann and Sports Manager Dietmar Beiersdorf.

Seli's target of this trip is Hamburg's young central defender Jerome Boateng. This tall central defender has just emerged in Hamburg this season. Trapani's scouts have observed him for a long time. He has excellent physical fitness and multi-position attributes. This kind of player is Bielsa's favorite.

Boateng's father is Ghanaian and is also a player. He also has a half-brother, Kevin Boateng, who is also a player, but the mothers of these two brothers are German, so Boateng will not occupy Trapani's non-EU signing quota.

We have had contact with each other before. Hoffman did not refuse to sell Boateng. The 50+1 policy of the German Football Association has largely restricted the development of Bundesliga teams. No one is willing to pay for the club without asking for return. The purchasing power of Bundesliga teams is relatively low, and the salaries of players are also relatively low. Hamburg, like other Bundesliga teams, has no money!

Of course, this team really has a wealthy fan behind them who does not care about returns. Whenever they encounter difficulties, Mr. Qune, the "super member" of Hamburg, will allocate funds to Hamburg to help Hamburg overcome difficulties.

However, we can't always rely on this "super member". The board of directors must also work hard. When Seli made an offer that was enough to impress Hoffman and Beiersdorf, they naturally would not block the deal.

On the day that Seli arrived, he reached an agreement with Hamburg, with a transaction price of 8 million euros. As for Boateng's personal terms, that was a minor issue. Trapani is no longer the team that begged others to join. Now countless players are vying to come here, not to mention young people like Boateng. Seli did not spend too much effort to complete the first signing.

Hamburg should have waited, they might have gotten more transfer fees, because two days after Trapani signed Boateng, Manchester City, who was still unaware, came to ask for the price again!

Hamburg then felt that the negotiation time was too short, maybe more than 8 million. Manchester City and Trapani are both rich, and the competition between the two of them would not raise the price "swoosh swoosh"? !

This is not the first time that Manchester City has dealt with Hamburg. Last year, Manchester City introduced Kompany from Hamburg. Kompany is the most famous demon in the football management game Football Manager. However, when he went to Hamburg, his growth could only be said to be mediocre. He was still young and still had a lot of room for development. But Kompany was disobedient and had a fight with the team's head coach Stevens at a young age. Hamburg captain Van der Vaart supported him and received a punishment from the club. This is why Manchester City bought Kompany at the original price last season.

Kompany is also a player Trapani wants. Last season, this player was on the candidate list, but due to slow action, he was preempted by Manchester City. This season is a revenge.

Then something incredible happened. Because they failed to buy Boateng, Manchester City actually made a direct offer to Trapani to buy Barzagli or Samuel. This is another special case.

Trapani's top management is in dispute again. Kenyon certainly hopes that such a deal will be successful. First, he believes that Samuel is over 30 after all, and is in a declining stage in all aspects; second, Samuel's departure will free up a certain salary space. Samuel's annual salary after tax is as high as 4.5 million euros.

Miku does not agree to sell Samuel. Samuel is not particularly old and has rich experience in European wars and leagues. How can he be compared with a young kid like Boateng? ! Keeping him can play a role in mentoring. He considers it from a competitive perspective. This deal is not necessary.

The final result of the discussion was that Kenyon decided to talk to Manchester City. Manchester City and Trapani have different strategies for dealing with the future financial fair play policy. Trapani has a solid foundation and is already quite strong. They can adapt to the constraints of the financial fair play policy by reducing investment, and at the same time they can maintain strong competitiveness.

But Manchester City can't do that. Their strength is not good. Thaksin's investment in the past was not much. Now they want to increase their strength. They can only turn a blind eye to the upcoming policy. UEFA has not issued any formal documents. Manchester City's choice to adapt to the situation itself is not a big problem.

Samuel himself is optimistic about the deal. He is not young now, and the rock is old. Manchester City has offered him an offer of about 5.75 million euros after tax, and it is a three-year contract. If he stays in Trapani, he will not get such an offer. He loves this team, loves this team that really makes him reach the peak, but money is also important. This may be the most lucrative contract at the end of his career. He has no reason to refuse.

The two sides did not make too much entanglement on the transaction price. Everyone is rich, why are they so anxious? ! 17 million euros, the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

The transactions of Boateng and Samuel were completed very quickly, and the two transactions were completed in less than half a month.

Leaving Samuel means that Trapani has to introduce another central defender again. The condition for Seli to agree to sell Samuel is that the transfer fee must be used in the transfer market.

Seli's target is Pique as the first choice, and Chiellini as the second. With money in hand, Seli naturally has the confidence to impact higher-quality central defenders.

Pique was directly rejected by Kenyon. Trapani has the money to introduce him, but it is impossible to give him a high salary. This is an unrealistic goal. Chiellini is the realistic goal. Trapani can afford his transfer fee and his salary requirements.

After learning of Trapani's interest, Pique made it clear that he had no intention of leaving Barcelona.

He is a Catalan and a product of Barcelona's youth training. If it weren't for his appearance in the early years, he would not have left Barcelona. Now that he has returned, he is a main player and Guardiola is also a good match, so he naturally does not choose to leave.

It is not strange that Pique hit a snag here, and even Seli also knows that money can not do this.

But he also hit a snag with Chiellini, which makes people feel strange. First of all, Trapani will definitely give Chiellini a salary increase. Secondly, Juventus will have to miss the European war next season. What's the good of staying in Juventus? ! It's definitely not as good as coming to Trapani.

Under such conditions, not only did Juventus reject Trapani's offer of 28 million euros without raising its eyelids, but Chiellini also said without hesitation that he would not consider transferring.
