Chapter 224 A Promising Deal

Allegri, like Li Yanqing, is a head coach, and their ideas are often biased.

At least that's what club president Agnelli thinks.

"I know you've said this to me many times."

“But I said we would release them as long as they could pay.”

"Don't I know how important Paul is to the team?"

Before him stood Giannis Antoine, Juventus' sporting director, who was earnestly advising his boss.

"But I still maintain that the club's operational gaps must be filled."

"Those bastard workers caused me huge losses!"

From a business perspective, buying Ronaldo was a very profitable deal for them.

Jersey sales and the club's stock price both soared.

However, the lower-level workers did not understand their logic, and their continued discontent led to their losses.

The money I raised is now due and I need to find a way to repay it.

"Why not take out a loan and pay off the debt first..."

Genetoli's voice was already very soft at this point.

Although this is standard practice in the business world, it will likely cost them tens of millions more in interest for no reason.

However, if Dybala were sold, not only would the money not be spent, but it could also be used to fool his own workers.

It could also give Ronaldo more possession of the ball, and perhaps the team's performance in the Champions League will improve.

For Ranieri, this was an attempt to achieve three goals at once.

These are benefits that are readily apparent to the naked eye.

Many people cannot understand this, and Dybala himself is probably the most confused.

He stormed to Allegri's office, unaware that the head coach would be stepping down at the end of the season.

"coach!"

"Wasn't my performance good enough?"

“No, you did very well,” Allegri shrugged and explained.

"This wasn't my decision; there will be a new head coach here soon."

In Serie A, being a head coach is more like a regular job.

Their power is far less than that of Premier League managers.

Transfers, for example, are mostly decided by them together with the sporting director.

The person who plays the most important role is still the director.

Therefore, head coaches are not too closely tied to their clubs, and no one would say anything even if they joined their arch-rivals at will.

However, one thing remains the same everywhere.

That's when they're about to leave the company; what they say is practically worthless.

"You're leaving here too?"

Compared to selling himself, Dybala seems to understand even less why the club would fire the team's decorated manager.

How many championships did he bring to the team?

"Yes."

Allegri nodded somewhat dejectedly.

"To be honest, I'm starting to envy the Premier League managers now."

"Only the big clubs there change their head coaches so often these days."

"Anyway, this is not your problem, Paul."

"The Chairman has many things to consider."

"But don't worry, a team of Burton's caliber might not be able to come up with 120 million."

"How much did their most expensive player in history cost?"

"It seems to be less than fifty million..."

What Allegri didn't know was that Burton Albion was exceptionally wealthy during this transfer window.

Barker provided a transfer fee of 100 million, plus 40 million from selling Enzo and 30 million from Justin.

Even if Li Yanqing spends 200 million, the club can handle it.

In recent years, player premiums and club revenues have risen at almost the same rate.

If it weren't for the buyback clause, Enzo could have sold for a higher price.

"One hundred and twenty million?"

"It's a bit pricey."

Li Yanqing was somewhat annoyed after hearing the other party's reply.

But if the other party is willing to sell the player, that's good news.

"That's what I think too. What do you think is a suitable amount?"

"We quoted 80 million, how about we compromise to 100 million pounds?"

Barker never expected that he would be discussing transfers worth hundreds of millions so soon.

He has little experience negotiating with such high-value players.

"Yes, one hundred million. In addition, we will make another offer to Paris Saint-Germain for Di Maria, also one hundred million pounds."

"Anyone can come."

These are all acceptable proposals for Li Yanqing, but the offer to PSG is more about trying to lower Dybala's price.

"By the way, don't reply to this matter yet."

"Let's send someone to negotiate privately first."

"There is a good candidate to do this."

"He's really looking to execute a deal worth over 100 million!"

“Is there anyone more suitable than me?” Barker expressed his dissatisfaction.

This is the club's first transaction exceeding 100 million, shouldn't he be the one to execute it?

"Don't rush, you'll still be the one signing the final deal, won't you?"

"We can leave the process to someone else."

"He is very professional!"

......

In the northern part of Burton, in an unassuming riverside community.

Felchar was lying in a chair, leisurely basking in the sun.

At the entrance, there were piles of all kinds of sports newspapers.

Even though he has been retired for a while, he still checks on things from time to time.

It's an occupational hazard; I can't change it.

"Old Phil!"

"This place is really hard to find!"

Li Yanqing handed over the training to Nawei, and then drove here leisurely.

"I still can't get through to you on the phone!"

"If Kevin hadn't told me your address, I almost wouldn't have been able to find you!"

"Li!" Felchar was very surprised to see Li Yanqing, who had found his way here.

Although they had worked together for a while, they actually met very few times.

"I didn't expect you to come here."

"Is there something you need from me now?"

“Yes, it’s a very important matter.” Li Yanqing paused, then continued.

"The club intends to buy Dybala from Juventus."

"The alternative is Di Maria from Paris Saint-Germain."

"The offer is one hundred million pounds."

"I don't think anyone is more suitable for this job than you!"

"What's the price?" Felchar seemed a little incredulous at his ears and immediately jumped off his chair.

"One hundred million?"

"You really mean one hundred million?"

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Six months ago, the club was still very stingy when it came to buying players!"

"They've already got the money to buy top players so quickly?"

"Yes!" Li Yanqing still remembered that the old scout's lifelong dream was to execute a transfer worth hundreds of millions.

Now that the opportunity has come, the first thing that comes to his mind is the other person's name.

"When I asked you to stay a little longer, you absolutely refused."

"But it's okay, we're making rapid progress."

"you are still alive!"

“Kid! Even if you die, I won’t die!” Felchar didn’t mind Li Yanqing’s joke.

In fact, he was already very content that the other person even remembered him.

So do you have time?

"Go to Italy, and then go to France."

"Call Barker when you need help."

"Have!"

"Of course!"

"I can set off right now..."
