Chapter 249 Reaching a Consensus
As early as the second half of the season, negotiations on Li Yi's new contract had already begun. The biggest issue in this months-long tug-of-war was not Li Yi's annual salary, but the transfer rights for the next summer.
If it's just about transferring power, Cagliari's management will not trade it to Li Yi, after all, Li Yi's support last season has been fully proved.
Counting the winter transfers, Cagliari has introduced a total of 16 players, of which [-] were mainly introduced by Li Yili. After one season, Cagliari's current results have already explained everything.
So, the real problem is about this summer's transfer. Before the league ended, Salerno had received dozens of offers. Let alone the end of the season, the offer alone has piled up.
Heartbeat, not to mention Cellino, even Salerno is extremely heartbeat. If these quotations become a reality, then Cagliari will make a lot of money this summer, and even become the most profitable club in the next summer.
"As long as Bruce is willing, we can spend 50.00% of the transfer income to sign him." This is the third time Corleone and Cagliari have negotiated a new contract, which is what the club chairman Cellino said.
Cellino is good at business, but unfortunately, Li Yi is not stupid, he doesn't want to be a money-making machine in Cellino's hands, let alone continue to train players for Cagliari.
Li Yi has no shortage of suitors. The reason why he is unwilling to leave Cagliari is because of the current group of players, not the club of Cagliari.
After winning the championship in Cagliari, Li Yi's reputation both in the team and in the city has reached an unprecedented height. It is not an exaggeration to say that in this city, sometimes the words of the mayor may not be as useful as Li Yi.
Conquering a city by one person is not just talk.
As a smart businessman, Cellino naturally didn't want to send Li Yi away, but he didn't expect Li Yi's attitude to be so firm. Buying people is fine, but selling people is absolutely impossible.
Under such circumstances, the negotiations between the two sides began to reach a stalemate, and this situation has not improved until recently. The reason for this is that Li Yi first persuaded Cellino and then made concessions.
reason?That's not easy. Cagliari's young players are far from reaching their limit, which means they still have room for improvement. If they sell them at this time, it will be a loss.
As a successful businessman, he naturally knows this truth. Of course, there are certain risks in doing so. After all, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. It doesn't matter what Li Yi says.
Therefore, for this reason, Li Yi let others make the team, and the team members can be sold, but they can only be controlled within three at most, and in order to convince Cellino, Li Yi also pushed Tony out.
If possible, Li Yi would never sell Tony, but judging from the current performance of Cagliari's players, Tony is the best player in Cagliari this season, and also the most valuable one.
Of course, the most important reason is that there is not much room for Tony to improve, and it is not that there are no substitutes for Tony to leave the Cagliari team.
After a season, Milito is not inferior to Tony, as long as he is given a chance, the Argentine can definitely attack Cagliari.
Tony and Milito's starting lineup was really picturesque, but in fact, if it was not handled properly, something might happen, especially after Toni won the Serie A Golden Boot, he would definitely continue to favor Tony tactically.
Therefore, Tony can leave, and the introduction of Tony will also convince Cellino to a certain extent. As the starting center of Cagliari, Tony is also worthy of the Golden Boot last season. In Cellino's view, Li Yi has indeed made a big concession.
In Li Yi's heart, Franck Ribery is the direct descendant of the direct line and the core of tactics, and he will definitely not be allowed to leave. Franck Ribery himself has no plans to leave now.
Although Ribery's outstanding performance in the past two seasons has given him no shortage of suitors and his ambitions have gradually increased, there is no way to leave Cagliari yet.
As for Poboski, the Czech is currently in a very embarrassing situation. His condition is fine, and his physical fitness has not declined much, but he is 32 years old after all, and he does not know when he will start to decline.
The midfielders are old and young, and Conte is the captain of the team, so he can't be touched easily, and the defense is also the same, so Li Yi's introduction of Tony is the best choice.
With this exchange and concession, the next negotiation became smoother, so after the disbandment of the team, Li Yi's contract can be formally finalized.
The contract period is three years, the annual salary is 200 million euros, and the signing fee is also 50.
When Cagliari announced on the official website that Li Yi had signed a new contract, Cagliari fans could finally breathe a sigh of relief and even continued to celebrate.
You must know that at the end of the season, there have been reports of many teams wanting to poach Li Yi. Now that Cagliari won the championship, there will undoubtedly be more teams poaching corners.
Li Yi even received an invitation from the Premier League. It is said that the Premier League has always had the habit of signing players from Serie A over the years, and Chelsea had contacted Corleone.
But Chelsea is not just Li Yi. After the Russian oligarchs moved in, Chelsea set off a storm of gold dollars in Europe, and Serie A, known as the Little World Cup, was the main league for Chelsea to watch.
Besides, Chelsea have a lot of poaching from Serie A. Zola has played for Chelsea before, and now the Russian oligarchs have moved in and still have not changed this tradition.
But to be honest, Inter Milan is the most disappointed with Li Yi's contract extension with Cagliari. Moratti has never given up his plan to bring Li Yi to Meazza.
But as Li Yi and Cagliari officially renewed their contract, Moratti also knew that it was impossible to take Li Yi away, and Inter Milan immediately shifted their target.
Just two days after Li Yi and Cagliari completed their contract extension, Inter Milan once again ushered in a new head coach, the former Lazio head coach Roberto Mancini who led Lazio to win the Coppa Italia this season.
Just before the last round of the league, Lazio and Juventus started the second round of the Coppa Italia final. At Juventus's home court, Lazio and Juventus played 2:2. Counting the first round, Lazio finally won this season's Coppa Italia with 4:2 in two rounds.
It is said that this season's Italian league championship was arranged by two young head coaches. Li Yi led Cagliari to win the Serie A championship, and Mancini took the lead in Lazio to win the Italian Cup. Among the head coaches, Li Yi and Mancini are both "young people", or young coaches.
No, Mancini could be called a young marshal, but Li Yi couldn't. Mancini in 64 was 82 years older than Li Yi in 18.
