Chapter 1199 - 286: The Disbandment of Serie A’s Three Sisters, Jiangyou’s Legendary Coach He Gongliang

Any club with a slightly good reputation or a dream of becoming a giant wouldn’t dare to easily take on this burden.

Finally, Bayern even staged a self-directed and self-acted play with their own little brother.

Salzburg: Bayern, is your Santos for sale?

Bayern: Yes, for sale.

Salzburg: Isn’t it too expensive?

Bayern: Just fifteen million is enough to take him away!

Salzburg: Wow! So cheap!

Then Salzburg didn’t buy him.

The football insiders were almost laughing their heads off.

Envious of Bayern, who had two phones.

But with this performance, they really did flush out some who care more about money than their lives.

Atletico Madrid contacted Bayern at that moment, directly offering eight million euros.

Bayern nearly choked.

Eight million?

Goddamn, if not for this damn Champions League final, Santos’ value would be thirty million euros!

An eight-digit figure turns into seven; who can bear that?

Atletico Madrid said, eight digits, huh?

Alright, ten million, max ten million euros, take it or leave it!

This cut a third of Bayern’s price just like that.

But Bayern had no choice but to grit their teeth and throw away Santos.

A loss of twenty million euros at least salvaged the brand value.

To compensate for the loss of Santos, Bayern set their sights on Atlanta’s main center back, also the best center back in Serie A, Kadu Kuba.

They prepared around thirty million.

By normal standards, Bayern buying a player, thirty million... basically, there’s nothing they can’t buy.

After all, they are the kind who treat one euro as two euros of purchasing power; they have almost never offered more than twenty million in the Bundesliga.

So this time, Atlanta should be flattered.

But Atlanta is not stupid; they just sold an Inzitens for forty-one million euros.

Although defenders are not as valuable as forwards.

But Kuba is younger than Inzitens, yet his performance as a center back in Serie A is indeed top-notch.

Thirty million?

Impossible!

Bayern raised the offer, thirty-two million!

If not sold, we’ll come back next year.

But if your player wants to come to us by then, it might not be the same price.

Bayern implied they might secretly contact Kuba to create a transfer opportunity.

This is explicitly prohibited in football.

Yet it happens repeatedly.

As one of the world’s top giants, Bayern is very experienced in this aspect.

Not just Bayern; any top giant is the same.

Atlanta is not a super world-class club, and they started to ponder.

Two stories, two perspectives.

While Atlanta is deadlocked, Juventus, on the other hand, is a different scene.

After the defensive midfielder Vidal was poached by Atletico Madrid, the previous rumors were confirmed.

Chelsea offered thirty-five million euros for Juventus Turan.

This is much more generous than Bayern.

Turan and Kuba are players of the same level; thirty-five is definitely worth it!

Even now, there’s still some undervaluation of defenders.

In a few years, these two players’ values won’t be much different from those of the same-level forwards!

Unfortunately, Manchester United matched Chelsea’s offer, also thirty-five million euros, to buy Turan.

After weighing his options, Turan said, no one can refuse the call of the Red Devils!

Thirty-five million euros, Turan joins Manchester United!

This summer, Manchester United started waving their checkbook, clearly very dissatisfied with their league disadvantage.

They strengthened their squad while also heavily impacting Chelsea’s recruitment efforts.

Sir Alex’s tactics are brilliant!

But Chelsea didn’t panic either.

No worries, we’ve got money!

Um, Atlanta, right, how much is your Kuba?

Atlanta says they are now talking with Bayern for thirty-two million euros.

If it’s the same price, you Chelsea have no competitive edge.

After all, Bayern is a giant, while Chelsea is nouveau riche.

Players going to Chelsea have to bear a certain level of scorn.

Like only recognizing money matters.

This is one of the reasons why Gutierrez’s popularity decreased a lot after joining Chelsea, not just because of his form and performance.

However, Atlanta obviously didn’t understand the mentality of the nouveau riche.

When Chelsea heard they’re only at thirty-two million now?

Considering their actual weaker competitiveness than other top giants, Chelsea retaliated by slapping down a forty-two million euro offer.

Atlanta knelt immediately, nodding on the spot.

Kadu Kuba’s sky-high transfer to Chelsea.

Atlanta combined sold three players for one hundred and two million euros!

This completely shocked everyone.

From then on, Serie A teams no longer held back.

Sell, sell, sell!

Crazy selling!

These players aren’t players, they are practically mobile gold bricks!

Players can be developed later, but making money, it’s just this year!

Udinese veteran Candreva transferred to Atletico Madrid for eighteen million euros.

His price last year was about... less than ten million euros.

Because his age is indeed a factor, the decline could be cliff-like in the coming years.

Sampdoria veteran Farrela transferred to Everton on a free transfer, while receiving high wages and also chasing his dreams one last time, to experience the Premier League.

Naples’ former best right-back in Serie A, Ignacio Florenzi, transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for twenty-seven million euros.

Previously, if Naples said they were rebuilding, now it’s a complete teardown and rebuild!

Next year, their direction, like Lazio, should be... survival!

Atlanta central forward Savio saw his teammates all leave, and he too got the idea, asking his agent to make some inquiries.
