My name is Colani
Chapter 710 3 Summer Reinforcement 3
The Italian transfer market in the 2009-10 season was in a state of depression. The economic situation ultimately affected the spending of each team. After failing to win the Champions League last season, the media and experts thought that Trapani would make a big move in the transfer market. Who knew that Trapani spent little money on transfers and bought a lot of young players. What's the point? ! No one thinks they can play in Serie A.
The fans also showed some degree of concern. Many fans left messages on the club's website hoping that the team would have some blockbuster deals. They were excited about Pique, Chiellini and others rumored in the media, but then disappointed.
The obvious lack of midfielders made all the fans complain why Selli was still not making any moves. It was normal for the fans to be uncomfortable with the lavish lifestyle they had been used to for many years.
Trapani is not the only team in the slump, other teams are the same. This year, Juventus is the team that is willing to spend money. They have successively bought Brazilian genius Diego and defensive stalwart Melo. These two transactions cost them more than 40 million euros, close to 50 million euros.
Inter Milan let Ibrahimovic go. After rejecting Trapani's invitation last year, Ibrahimovic and his agent Raiola lost their patience this year. Facing Barcelona's call, they are no longer reserved. Besides, the offer of more than 60 million euros really tempted Moratti.
In exchange for Eto'o and 40 million euros in cash, it is not a loss in any way.
Mourinho continued to buy players and bought Genoa's striker Milito. Milito is a late bloomer. Trapani also wanted to buy him this summer, but he was slow to act. Inter Milan, which acted early, took the lead. Mourinho's attention to him is also a very important factor.
It is hard to say whether Inter Milan's approach has improved or reduced their strength. The outside media believes that Ibrahimovic's deal is worth it.
Milan is still the same. Since Berlusconi took the prime minister's throne, the enthusiasm for investment seems to have declined again. This season, Galliani began to replenish Milan's blood and change the team. The team finally began the process of rejuvenation. There is not much investment, but many substitutions. The challenges faced by the new coach Leonardo in the new season are still huge.
Another team worth noting this summer is the growing Naples. De Laurentiis is a mouth cannon, but he has indeed invested a lot in Naples over the years. He has been hoarding good players in recent years. With the tempering of the game, their ranking has become higher and higher, and the overall quality has become better and better. Mazzarri has got the opportunity to prove himself in Naples. In the past two years, his coaching ability has been getting better and better in the eyes of the media and experts.
Therefore, although Serie A seems to be sinking after losing Ibrahimovic this summer, many European football experts believe that this is just a short-term pain before rising. Many teams are still improving in their own strength, but it is difficult for these teams to surpass Trapani.
Trapani's frontcourt has basically remained stable, and those who should stay have stayed unmoved. It's not that the players have not received offers, but Trapani refused to sell. Real Madrid has been seducing Messi since last year, but they have not succeeded until now.
In early August, a good news for Trapani appeared. Manchester United actually sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid. This incident really shocked Trapani. Ronaldo and Messi are both long-rumored targets of Real Madrid. No one believes that these two transactions will be reached.
Trapani is particularly confident, because Messi and his team can't sell him at all, and Ronaldo's transfer terms have clear divisions. Manchester United can't be so stupid that they can't make much money from the transfer.
But the story is often so unexpected. Manchester United really sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid. The most fundamental reason should be that Ronaldo himself wanted to leave. He wanted to prove himself in Real Madrid.
Ronaldo is the winner of the Golden Ball Award. Of course, the fee is very expensive. Trapani got 40% of the transfer profit, about 30 million, which is a windfall.
Hugo was very sorry. He didn't believe that Ronaldo would leave at all. Since the last incident, everyone's relationship was not as close as before. If he knew that Ronaldo was going to Real Madrid, Hugo would still intend to compete with Real Madrid. He really wanted to open the heads of Manchester United executives to see what they thought about this deal and what Ferguson thought.
Trapani had this money. Even if Seli and Shafir spent a lot in the transfer market, they were still in a state of making money. Seli started a new action at this time. This time the target was Modric, the midfielder of Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Modric comes from Croatia, the former Yugoslavia. This region has been a powder keg in Europe since ancient times. The violent collision of communist and Christian cultures has never lacked chaos. Croatia is naturally in the middle of it and there are wars, but this place is not short of football talents. Croatia in 1998 left a deep impression on people. Several major European leagues looked for players from Croatia. Italy, which is close to Croatia, naturally also likes to look for players there. There are many Eastern European players active in the league. Vucinic in Trapani's lineup is from Montenegro.
Modric's first stop in the top five leagues is the English League. It is said that many giants were very interested in him at the beginning, but his slightly thin body made these teams retreat. He looked too thin. There is never a lack of physical confrontation in football matches.
The first impression is very important. For this reason, many clubs bigger than Tottenham wanted to recruit him but were discouraged. Tottenham decided to take a gamble and spent 8 million euros to bring Modric from Dinamo Zagreb to Tottenham last summer.
No one thought that Modric would adapt well to the Premier League. He played more than 30 times for Tottenham throughout the season, contributed four goals and nine assists to the team, and his organizational ability in the midfield was praised by the English media.
One season of highlight performance does not mean that he is really good. Many big clubs are interested in him, but they are still waiting and watching. When Trapani could not complete Gerrard, Kenyon finally agreed that Seli could consider Modric. He is a backup, but a very potential backup.
In just one season, Modric was called by Trapani, a champion team. He said that happiness came very suddenly. Tottenham naturally did not want to let Modric go. They wanted to hold back a big move. Selling Modric this summer is not the best choice.
But Modric was very tempted. In terms of style, Italy is a Latin-style football, and Modric felt that he was more suitable. Secondly, Trapani is a champion team with many stars. Who would be stupid to refuse their call? !
Selli contacted Modric's agent privately through an intermediary. He was very sincere. He told the other party that transferring to Trapani would be a double harvest for Modric in career and money. Of course, you can also get a lot of agency fees from it.
In order to impress Tottenham, Trapani could only keep raising the offer until Trapani's offer reached 20 million euros. Tottenham finally gave in. The three parties completed the transaction in mid-August. Modric transferred to Trapani for 20 million euros, signed a five-year contract, and had an annual salary of about 2.75 million euros after tax.
Modric's advantage over Gerrard ends here. The transfer fee will not be ridiculously high, and the salary will not be very high. Of course, the total transfer expenditure of this transaction is about 25 million euros. Modric received a signing fee of 3 million euros, and his agent received a signing fee of 2 million euros.
With such a reinforcement in the midfield, Trapani's transfer is basically over. Trapani will not make adjustments on the front line this summer, and it is not so easy to find a matching striker.
