My name is Colani

The Champions League will not start until February, and the winter break will start soon. Trapani's top executives are destined to have a difficult Christmas. Before the winter break, Italian and German media have expressed that Trapani has a strong interest in Werder Bremen's central defender Mertesacker. The news in the public opinion is like "suddenly, the spring breeze comes, and thousands of trees bloom."

In fact, when the news in the media came out, Mertesacker still knew nothing, and his agent Gilsa also knew nothing.

"From Trapani's current situation, it is entirely possible that they are interested in you, and the rumors are not groundless!" Gilsa, as an agent, has the responsibility and obligation to point out a clear way for Mertesacker.

Mertesacker actually wanted to leave not just now. As early as two years ago, he wanted to leave Werder Bremen because Werder Bremen was getting weaker and weaker. In 2010, they finally had Ozil, who was very good, but in the end, after shining in the World Cup, Ozil was recruited by Real Madrid. That incident had a great impact on Mertesacker.

In the past two years, Werder Bremen has been seeking to renew Mertesacker's contract, but Mertesacker is determined to leave. In fact, his contract is only six months away from expiring.

Gilsa believes that the media's rumors are not groundless, because it is a very cost-effective thing to sell Mertesacker during this winter break. He has the ability and does not cost much. Mertesacker is a hot commodity. He is not unpopular, but Trapani's interest in Mertesacker is different from that of other teams.

Because Trapani is a club at the top of the pyramid of world football, even Bayern Munich can't compare, so when they know about this interest, how can Gilsa and Mertesacker not be tempted? !

"Per, there is no better choice than Trapani! To be honest, this opportunity is not common, I think we should seize it!" Gilsa told Mertesacker firmly.

Mertesacker felt ecstatic about the rumors in the media from the bottom of his heart. That is Trapani. They are not an ordinary team. For many players, the Google Stadium is a football sanctuary like the Bernabeu and Camp Nou.

So Gilsa started his performance very quickly. First, when he was interviewed, he praised Trapani. "It is an honor for Per to be noticed by a club like Trapani. If there is such an opportunity, I think no one can refuse it! But now we have no substantial contact. Per is a member of Werder Bremen. He has dedicated everything to Werder Bremen. If Trapani has such intentions, they can have a good talk with the club!"

It was well-behaved and did not offend Werder Bremen too much. If Werder Bremen was determined and really kept Mertesacker from leaving and stayed until the summer, then this opportunity would probably be missed.

Then this guy contacted Schweinsteiger's agent Robert Schneider, and got in touch with Trapani through Schneider's contact. Seli has seen many such agents who take the initiative to come to the door, especially after Trapani became more and more famous and powerful.

But even so, Seli was not deliberately trying to whet anyone's appetite. When it comes to doing business, respect is a must. You can't look down on others just because they come to you on their own initiative. This is not good, not to mention that Mertesacker is a player recognized by both him and Wenger.

Just after Christmas, Gilsa secretly came to Milan and had a secret meeting with Seli. The fact that Seli could come forward itself means that the rumors are not false. Trapani is indeed interested in Mertesacker. The reason why Gilsa is particularly proactive is not only because Trapani's opportunity is rare, but also because in fact, Koscielny, a Frenchman, was also rumored with Mertesacker's transfer.

It is well known in European football that Wenger likes to use his fellow countrymen. French players seem to have an innate advantage. Gilsa is so anxious. If Koscielny is bought, Mertesacker will have nothing to do.

The two sides had a pleasant meeting. There was no need to discuss Mertesacker's strength in detail. Seli was most concerned about Mertesacker's adaptability, because this German international had always played in the German league and had never been out of the country. It was a question for such a player to adapt to the Italian football environment in an unfamiliar environment. Of course, it might take a process, and everyone understood it, but Seli's focus was whether Mertesacker was really mentally prepared to go abroad.

In addition, there were transfer fees, commissions, salaries, etc.

The first private meeting should be said that the two sides basically reached an agreement on certain aspects. Seli also had the intention of cutting the Gordian knot this time. From Seli's point of view, since Mertesacker appeared on his list, he didn't want to introduce Koscielny. First of all, it must be a price issue. Trapani made a substantial offer of 11 million euros for Koscielny, but Arsenal refused, which was unbearable. He was not a main player, and Wenger only spent more than 2 million euros when he introduced him. Trapani's offer was absolutely generous.

Secondly, Selly does not want the team to have too many French elements. After Wenger took office, he really asked his scouting department to strengthen the detection of French players. Moreover, Wenger himself has many friends in France. Selly is not sure how many French players' names are written in Wenger's transfer book.

Celli's mentality has changed a little now. He has his own opinion on the big boss Hugo. Hugo said before that he wanted to train his own CEO. He has never been friends with Kenyon Hugo. That support also comes from the position and the future of Trapani.

Hugo has always been supporting Miku and Antonio Perotti. His thoughts can be seen. Celli does not feel that he has lost Hugo's trust, but now he has a feeling that Hugo hopes he will retire early and hope to achieve the rejuvenation of the management.

On the night of the birthday party, Hugo joked to Celli whether he was interested in serving as chairman of New Sports Communication, because there were a lot of negotiations there, which was suitable for Celli to play a role.

Celli was thinking that Hugo was not letting his elder brother go. This dismissal was not really dismissal, but just letting young people take over. Hugo's mind was completely different from others. Celli always knew that Hugo was extremely bold in using people in other industries. His wife had the same style as him and liked to use energetic young people.

Seli does not want to leave his current position, so he does not want this place to become the world of the French, whether it is the team or the management, it is not good, he is worried that he will be squeezed aside one day, Wenger has all the power, what is the use of him.

Anyway, Mertesacker is also recognized by Wenger, Seli simply cuts the Gordian knot, who knows that when he sent a 3 million offer to Werder Bremen, Werder Bremen refused without thinking, and the answer was also fair and square, this money is not enough to take Mertesacker away, even if he only has a half-year contract.

Werder Bremen's hypocritical behavior made Seli almost vomit blood, this is not enough? !

Seli angrily called Gilsa, the price is too high, I can't do business, Arsenal's hypocritical behavior at least has a reason, Koscielny is young and has room for growth, and his contract will not expire in two years, what is Mertesacker's basis? ! No matter how strong he is, his contract will expire soon.

Of course, Seli didn't say anything explicitly, but Gilsa understood that he needed to solve this matter. Gilsa was very efficient. He went to meet with the top management of Werder Bremen and said straight to the point that Mertesacker just wanted to go to Trapani. It would be of no benefit to let him go to you. You should know when to pay the price. Ozil was only sold for 15 million. Do you expect to make 10 million from Mertesacker who has a half-year contract? !

The most important sentence for Gilsa to convince Werder Bremen was that Mertesacker was not the only one in Trapani. This hit the soft spot of Werder Bremen's top management.
