Prominence in Football Community

Regarding whether to sell Gao Zheng, Sagramola couldn't make the decision, or he couldn't bear the blame.

So he found the club's chairman, Eduardo Garrone, and put all the faxes of the club's price inquiries on Gao Zheng on his desk.

"Juventus...Bayern Munich...Arsenal...Liverpool...Chelsea...Manchester City...Atletico Madrid...Real Madrid..."

Eduardo looked over one by one, whispering softly about the big names in European football.

All are wealthy.

When did Sampdoria's players get involved with so many wealthy clubs at the same time?

But now these people are indeed here for Gao Zheng alone.

Sagramola sat next to him and didn't speak. He decided not to express any opinions, so as to avoid future charges falling on himself.

Even if the chairman of the club wanted to ask him for his opinion, he said that everything was up to the chairman.

But Eduardo didn't ask Sagramola this question—in fact, he already knew what it meant when the other party brought these things to him.

The club has reached a critical moment. Under the leadership of Gao Zheng last season, the team achieved very good results. The Coppa Italia championship and Champions League bonuses have indeed eased the club's financial strain.

To be honest, he was really reluctant to let Gao Zheng leave.

He has become the hero of this team, he unites the players and fans, he is the symbol of Sampdoria, and he can bring Sampdoria one victory after another.

The team will not be able to participate in the Champions League next season, which is of course a financial loss. But playing in the Europa League is also good. And Eduardo has a kind of self-confidence that if Gao Zheng stays in the team, Sampdoria should be able to achieve better results in the Europa League.

Even those who are leaving now in the team, if Gao Zheng stays, their idea of ​​leaving may not be so strong.

No matter how you look at it, Gao Zheng shouldn't be let go.

but……

Eduardo looked at the numbers on some faxes, and the string of zeros made him dizzy.

What Coppa Italia bonus,

What kind of Champions League bonus... The sum of all the money can't compare to the amount of transfer fees that some wealthy families throw for Gao Zheng alone.

It's nice to have money...

Eduardo Garrone sighed inwardly.

Sagramola looked at Eduardo flipping through the faxes over and over again. From this action, he could guess that the chairman must be very entangled now, but he still didn't speak, as silent as a mute.

In fact, if you were to ask him whether to sell Gao Zheng, would he consider the benefits of selling it? What good is it if you don't sell it?

The benefits of selling are obvious. The club can get a lot of money immediately and save Gao Zheng's salary. Whether it is the transfer fee obtained or the salary space saved, it can be used to sign more players.

Although Gao Zheng is sold, many players can be added. From this point of view, there is no harm to the team.

The disadvantages of selling are also obvious-the fans will definitely be angry and vent their anger on the club, and whoever makes the decision will be scolded.

Another disadvantage is that the team's performance will definitely be affected. Although next season has not yet started, Sagramola feels that this is almost certain. Sampdoria with Gao Zheng and Sampdoria without Gao Zheng are basically two different teams. The good results last season were all based on Gao Zheng. There is a very strong evidence-Gao Zheng has rotated many times in the league and missed many games, so the team's final ranking in the league is not satisfactory, and it only ranks tenth in the end, if there is not a Coppa Italia champion , That was really a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

So if you want to sell Gao Zheng, you must be mentally prepared, Sampdoria may be beaten back to its original shape.

Although we can use the transfer fee obtained by Gao Zheng to introduce more players, none of those players can be compared with Gao Zheng.

Their worth may add up to be equal to Gao Zheng, but the positive impact they can bring to the team may not be as good as Gao Zheng alone.

Wouldn't it be better not to sell Gao Zheng?

The same cannot be said. Because everyone knows that Sampdoria cannot keep Gao Zheng forever. Gao Zheng signed a four-year contract with the club.

The contract was signed in the first half of 2012, two years have passed now, and there are still two years left in the contract. If Gao Zheng is kept for another season, then after the end of next season, Gao Zheng will only have one year left in his contract with the team. Even if the club wants to sell Gao Zheng again, the contract will expire because there is only one year left in the contract. , but unable to sell at a high price.

Now those clubs that are interested in Gao Zheng can wait for another year, until the contract between Gao Zheng and Sampdoria expires before making a move, and Gao Zheng's agent may be very happy to let the player switch to other teams freely , so that he can get a higher salary for Gao Zheng.

And until now, Gao Zheng's agent has not discussed the renewal of the contract with the club. It is conceivable that they do not plan to stay in Sampdoria for too long.

So think about it carefully, if the Sampdoria club cannot sell Gao Zheng this summer, it may lose the best chance to sell Gao Zheng, and lose a good chance to sell Gao Zheng at a high price.

A player who is destined to leave the team must of course think about how to sell him for a high price.

So there are advantages and disadvantages to selling and not selling.

It depends on how Chairman Eduardo Garrone is elected in the end.

Eduardo Garrone was struggling, but not in the same way that Sagramola was.

What he was thinking about was whether selling Gao Zheng would reduce the value of Sampdoria...

Despite his public promises after his father's death that he would not give up the club, the Garrone family will always be associated with Sampdoria, and he will continue his father's mission to bring the team back to the top.

But in fact he has been thinking about how to sell the club.

For him, Sampdoria's achievements last season are his bargaining chip - the team that has won so many honors certainly cannot be sold cheaply.

Now he is worried about whether selling Gao Zheng will affect the club's valuation.

After all, Gao Zheng is also an important "asset" of the club...

Then he thought about the club's debt problem.

Debt is also a reason to lower prices.

And if Gao Zheng can be sold, that much money will be a huge help to reduce the club's debt pressure...

Thinking of this, Eduardo Garrone finally made a decision in his heart.

He doesn't care if he will be scolded by Sampdoria fans if he sells Gao Zheng, and he doesn't care what will happen to the team's performance after selling Gao Zheng, because he even wants to sell the club Sampdoria.

I don't know how long it has passed, Sagramola, who has been silent all the time, feels that a long time must have passed, he heard Eduardo Garrone sigh: "I think Gao should be very clear, he will not stay in San Pudolia, if he knows that he is so popular in the transfer market, but we insist on keeping him, what will he think? Will he complain that we blocked his room for improvement..."

Hearing this, Sagramola knew that Mr. Chairman had made a decision, and that decision was to sell Gao Zheng.

He sighed in his heart, and finally came.

"...Our relationship with Gao has always been very harmonious. He understands our difficulties, and we have to consider his difficulties now. I hope that the club and him will get together and break up in the end, instead of turning against each other. No matter what After all, Gao will always be a Sampdoria legend."

After Eduardo finished speaking, he looked at Sagramola.

Sagramola nodded: "Okay, I understand. I will tell him the club's decision...but what if he wants to stay?"

"Of course I welcome him to stay. In fact, if it's not for his future, I hope he can stay here forever." Eduardo said with awe-inspiring righteousness, as if he really had no choice but to agree to sell Gao Zheng Same.
