Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

After Barton was promoted to the first team, the first team now has fifteen players. But this is far from enough, especially in the position of central defender, Manchester City urgently needs to add manpower. When he thought of this, Yang Luo couldn't help but sigh. He now has two people he likes very much, one is Thiago Silva and the other is Vidic. But one of them is Brazilian and the other is Serbian, and it is difficult for them to get a work permit now. As for other top defenders, Ferdinand is in the hands of the red-nosed old man, Terry is the prince of Chelsea, Puyol is the flag of Barcelona, ​​and Nesta just transferred to Milan last year, so there is no chance to start. Among the possible candidates, Lucio explicitly rejected Manchester City. He dreamed of going to a bigger club - specifically, King Nan. Manchester City was not in their career plan.

As for Pepe...

The team already had a Joey Barton. The two of them together would be a beautiful picture.

So, he could only take Bernstein with him to Italy.

They had two targets this time, Samuel of Roma and Chiellini of Livorno.

Samuel has now become an indispensable mainstay in the Roma team, but Roma's performance this season is very average, only achieving the eighth place in the league.

Roma, which missed the Champions League, has gradually shown signs of a financial crisis, so Yang Luo is very confident that he can impress the Roma club this time.

The person in charge of receiving them was Rosella Sensi, the eldest daughter of Franco Sensi, the current chairman of the Roma club.

Her father is now 77 years old and almost no longer participates in the affairs of the club, so this Rosella Sensi is the actual person in charge of the Roma club.

Bernstein had communicated with her by phone before and learned that she also intended to sell Samuel.

After some bargaining, the two sides reached an agreement on a price of 20 million pounds.

Just as they were about to notify Samuel, there was a knock on the office door.

Rosella Sensi got up and opened the door, but was surprised to find that there was a fat old man standing at the door.

She subconsciously supported the old man: "Father, why are you here?"

The old man was the chairman of the Roma Club, Franco Sensi.

He frowned: "I heard you want to sell Samuel?"

Rosella Sensi nodded: "Yes, father, we need funds to improve the financial situation of the club."

Franco Sensi glanced at her: "Are you going to dismantle the club? Don't you know how important Samuel is to us?"

Rosella sighed: "Father, I know, but..."

The fat old man glanced at her: "I know that not entering the Champions League this season has a great impact on us, but we can't sell our mainstay. Can you imagine that we will sell Totti one day?"

Rosella was stunned and silent.

The fat old man walked into the room with a cane: "You two, I'm really sorry, Samuel... We won't sell it."

Yang Luo was stunned: "Mr. Sensi..."

The fat old man smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Samuel is too important to us, we can't sell this defensive backbone."

Yang Luo didn't expect that the fat old man would mess up the situation at the last minute.

But he knew that this fat old man was a tough guy. Once he made up his mind, it would be difficult for others to change his mind.

This deal seemed hopeless.

But suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "Mr. Sensi, since you don't want to sell Samuel to us, as compensation, are you willing to sell De Rossi in your team?"

Franco Sensi was stunned. He didn't expect that the young man would take the opportunity to make such a request.

Indeed, he had just fooled him. It would be too unkind to refuse him now.

And De Rossi had just played in the first team, and he didn't seem to be that indispensable...

So he turned to look at his eldest daughter, and Rosella Sensi immediately understood what her father meant: "Mr. Yang, De Rossi is a promising new star in our team, and we don't have a strong desire to let him go..."

Yang Luo immediately understood what she meant: "We are willing to offer 5 million pounds for De Rossi."

Rosella Sensi hesitated: "I think we have to offer at least 15 million pounds before we can let him go."

Yang Luo thought for a while: "One price, 10 million pounds."

Father

The two women looked at each other and finally nodded.

For them, although De Rossi has a promising future, it is already quite good for a player who is less than 20 years old and is on the bench to be sold at this price.

So at the club level, the two sides reached an agreement.

The next issue is the player.

When De Rossi came to the office, Yang Luo couldn't help but sigh, what a young man.

Of course, it's not that he is so handsome, but compared with the rough man with a big beard ten years later, he is now so handsome.

But when De Rossi heard that the club had agreed to Manchester City's offer for him, a trace of sadness flashed across his face.

Yang Luo knew his feelings for Roma and that he later became the second soul of Roma.

But now he is just a young man who has just joined Roma for more than two years, and his feelings are definitely not that deep, so Yang Luo still has a certain possibility of poaching him.

So he said, "Mr. De Rossi, we really hope you can join Manchester City. Now we have the famous coach Van Gaal as the head coach, and there are talented players like Ronaldinho and C Ronaldo. This environment will be more conducive to your growth."

De Rossi hesitated and said nothing.

Yang Luo continued, "Moreover, we will provide you with a well-paid contract, which can at least double your current salary."

Now he is still on a child labor contract, and Yang Luo can at least provide him with a contract with a weekly salary of more than 15,000 pounds.

De Rossi whispered, "Thank you Mr. Yang for your appreciation of me. But I still want to ask Mr. Sensi, can I choose to stay?"

Yang Luo was stunned. This is...

Sensi and his daughter were also stunned.

It stands to reason that anyone would be shaken by the temptation of a salary increase.

But De Rossi's attitude was...

Old Sensi said: "De Rossi, do you mean that even if Roma cannot offer you an equal salary, are you willing to stay?"

De Rossi nodded without hesitation: "I do."

Old Sensi's face showed a moving expression.

After a while, he turned his head: "Mr. Yang, I'm really sorry, our De Rossi doesn't want to leave Roma, and we can't go against his ideas. I'm very sorry!"

As he said, he bowed deeply to Yang Luo and Bernstein.

Yang Luo hurriedly supported him: "Mr. Sensi, I can't bear this. Transfers are something that you and I both want, you don't have to say sorry to me."

Old Sensi said: "Thank you for your understanding. If Roma really has to sell them one day in the future, I will tell you the first time."

Yang Luo smiled: "Definitely."

After that, he took a deep look at De Rossi, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

This is the future team spirit, this is really a family of loyal martyrs!
