Chapter 266 Piacenza's transfer drama II
This summer window, perhaps because of Liu Feng, a successful precedent for his youth training in Brazil, Piacenza's scouting system began to frequently recommend many powerful players to the club in Brazil.
In addition to Gansuo, who once again joined the club through Joao, the club's transfer manager also went to Pakistan Alan to conduct two other negotiations.
This negotiation is not that simple. People who are paying attention to the transfer operation of Piacenza have been paying attention for a long time before they saw the news that the club officially signed the other party.
Piacenza's first goal is Miranda, who is now a very good defender in Sao Paulo.
This is a powerful player who has been studying abroad. He played for a while in Ligue 1 Socio, but that experience was not very smooth, and Miranda did not even attract much attention when he left France and returned to Brazil.
However, after returning to Sao Paulo, the defender suddenly got his clues. During his three years in Sao Paulo, he not only won the call for the Brazilian national team, but also officially made an appearance in the World Cup peripheral match against Peru this April.
In such a highly competitive Brazilian team, it is not an easy task to have a place in their own place.
Therefore, the negotiation between Piacenza and Sao Paulo is not that simple. Both sides started negotiations on Miranda's transfer before the summer window. It was not until Miranda publicly expressed her interest in going to Europe again that it made breakthrough progress. The defender's joining was officially confirmed in early August.
Piacenza paid 7 million euros to buy the defender who is now on the shortlist for the best defender of the Brazilian League this season. Obviously, this player who is now 25 years old and has begun to reach his golden age will greatly strengthen Piacenza's defense.
Another player was not easy to sign.
This summer window, a large number of veterans left the club, among which Padalino, Tozka and other regular substitute midfielders made Piacenza's midfielder look a little thin, not to mention that the club also declared a failure in the game against Juventus about Marchisio.
Almost while learning that Marchisio was about to leave the club, Conte contacted the club's transfer manager, emphasizing that he needed a group of powerful midfielders next season.
For this coach with significant leadership, the club naturally satisfies his wishes as much as possible.
So, Piacenza's scout team quickly made efforts to search for various teams and put them in front of Conte. After watching various games and characteristics of these players, Conte reached an agreement with the club.
Their goal is Ramirez Santos, who is now in the prime of his career in the Barcelona giants Cruzero.
This is a midfielder who can play a very important role in both offense and defense. As the team's midfielder this season, he scored nine goals in 28 rounds. This is a very crazy data. In terms of goals, he is even better than some forwards.
In defense, he, who is called the Blue Kenyan by Cruzero fans, has similar running skills to Kenyans running marathons. Yes, his abundant physical fitness allows him to help the team at any time. He is also a player similar to B2B midfielder.
Both the club and Conte were very satisfied with it, but they had to face competition from another competitor, the Portuguese giant Benfica.
One is the attraction of the giant teams, and the other is the call of the five major leagues. Ramirez himself was in the middle and had no conclusion for a while, so it was time for the two teams to throw in.
In the end, Conte, who was once a world-class midfielder, touched Ramirez with a phone call. At the age of 22, a player should first think about how to always have better growth.
Whether it is giving more playing time commitments or the head coach's attention, Piacenza has surpassed Benfica, not to mention that Piacenza, who has just won the second place in the Serie A, will not be too bad no matter how he looks at it.
For 8 million euros, Piacenza finally won this midfielder with endless potential at this price. With Ganso and Miranda who were previously confirmed to introduce, Piacenza caused more sensation in Brazil than many giant teams.
These are relatively large investments, and they are also the main expenses of Mr. Armani after he gained more ownership of the club after he added investment. In addition, the team has also made several very good deals in Italy.
Among them, the deal to trade Flocariga for 5 million euros from Florence to Girardino made people pay attention to Piacenza shout that the club's senior management is simply a genius. Piacenza fans naturally felt very happy that this outstanding striker, produced by his own youth training, was finally able to return home.
After entering Serie A, Piacenza, whose scout net quickly expanded, also bought two other excellent young players.
One of them is the midfielder Antonio Candreva who made great contributions to the Serie B Livoro in the second half of last season. When Udinese did not choose to recall his own midfielder on loan, Piacenza cut into it directly and convinced the 22-year-old with his chance to play and his qualifications to fight.
After simply completing the negotiations with Udinese and Livoro, Piacenza only paid 2 million euros and included it with one year's loan and selective buyout rights.
Secondly, it is a young player Archerby who entered the club's vision through the eyes of Conte's coaching team.
The reason why this player was noticed by Conte starts with his experience of being loaned to Serie C a few years ago. Conte, who had just begun his coaching career, met this young defender in the game and was deeply impressed by him, which laid the foreshadowing for the coaching team to continue to pay attention to him later.
In the past season, this player has become a regular rotation player for Pavia in the Segunda Division. Although his ability has not yet met the main standards of Serie A, in Conte's opinion, this is a very excellent and useful substitute.
So, after paying only one million euros, Piacenza bought him from Pavia.
In this way, Piacenza introduced a total of six players in this summer, which is not a small number. However, with many players leaving at the same time, the number of players on the team is still maintained to a reasonable level.
However, in this wave of change, the team's lineup has made great progress in both the strength of the main force and the quality of the substitute. This can be seen very clearly from Conte's unconcealed smile in the corner of his eyes during an interview.
