Chapter 223 Juventus, the Black Shop?

After drawing with West Ham United, Burton Albion secured their second consecutive victory.

Not every ordinary team has top players like West Ham United.

First they beat Watford 1-0, then they thrashed Swansea City 3-0.

Although they lost 0-1 to Arsenal, it did not affect Li Yanqing's mood.

Eighth-placed Everton failed to achieve a perfect record and are now six points behind Burton.

Li Yanqing's team has already secured seventh place in the league two rounds in advance.

It must be said that the Premier League's "Big Six" lived up to their name, maintaining their top-six position almost throughout the entire season.

Unlike Burton, who occasionally slips up some points they shouldn't have.

In short, they can't fall any further, and they can't catch up with them either.

Want nothing.

We can now focus on preparing for the FA Cup final.

However, with the season nearing its end, the issue of player replacements has become urgent.

Li Yanqing hopes the team can finalize its player recruitment plans as soon as possible.

Enzo, Cazorla, and Justin are confirmed to be leaving.

Others like Matthias also received transfer offers, but the prices offered were slightly below market value, which Li Yanqing rejected.

Therefore, the most urgent needs now are to strengthen the defense and bring in a top-class player for the attack.

The task of finding a defender has been handed over to John's team, but they haven't responded yet.

As for top-tier forwards, Li Yanqing is trying to contact them himself.

There are now several options.

His biggest desire is for Di Maria, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain.

This player, nicknamed "Angel," is Messi's key assistant in the national team.

He can play in almost any position in the midfield and attacking third.

It is absolutely top-tier in terms of off-the-ball assist in attack.

The technical characteristics are very suitable, but due to Burton's inability to play in the Champions League, the price may need to be significantly higher.

The player is currently under thirty years old, and if you want to buy him, you might need to offer at least £80 million in transfer fees, which, including premiums, would be close to £100 million.

Moreover, the other party is not short of money, so they may not be willing to release him.

As for Cavani, whom Kevin mentioned at the beginning, he had already inquired about him, but the other party showed no interest whatsoever.

Why do we have to focus on the rich and powerful teams?

"Looking for wealthy families that are short of money would also be fine..."

Nawi's question left Li Yanqing speechless for a moment.

Are you short of money?

Would that still be considered a wealthy family?

“You know what, it seems there really is one.” Li Yanqing suddenly paused.

I feel like I've fallen into some kind of logical trap.

Who says that wealthy families are never short of money?

Among the top five European leagues, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 are dominated by one team, with the only exception being Borussia Dortmund. However, the players produced by Dortmund generally go to other top clubs and never to less competitive teams.

The Premier League and La Liga are not short of money.

There's still Serie A left.

The local economy has been in serious trouble in recent years, and even the big brother Juventus has been losing money year after year.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqing excitedly slapped his thigh.

“You reminded me, Neville.”

"Take a look at Serie A."

"We only need to find one!"

Coincidentally, Kevin also called at that moment.

"Li, I have someone to recommend. This time, they are absolutely suitable."

“Dybala’s living environment changed after Ronaldo went to Juventus.”

"We might be able to buy him successfully."

“That’s great, Kevin. We were just thinking about Serie A too.” Li Yanqing and Kevin were once again on the same page.

"Aside from being a bit fragile, everything else is great."

"He has scored over ten goals and provided over ten assists this season."

"Also, he's the core player in this style of play..."

Unlike the Di Maria he wanted, Dybala is the kind of player who plays with the ball and needs possession a lot.

However, if he were to stand between Quinn and Ibrahimovic, the problem would be easily solved.

At this level, Li Yanqing was already willing to let Quinn pass the ball to the opponent.

He might even become that kid's third teacher.

“No problem, have Barker make the contact now.”

After a brief understanding, Li Yanqing made the decision immediately.

The only question now is, given the player's outstanding performance this season, will the other side release him?

Two days later.

Juventus' current manager, Allegri, has received a transfer offer from Burton.

They offered £80 million to buy their highly sought-after player, Dybala.

"To be honest, it's a bit outrageous."

What team is Burton?

Paul wouldn't want to go.

"If the club were thinking clearly, they would never sell him."

"However, let's still show this invitation to our manager."

"What does this have to do with me?"

With the team once again eliminated from the Champions League, the legendary manager has decided to leave the club at the end of the season.

With at most two games left, the transfer is no longer something he can decide.

"No matter who succeeds him, we will continue to use him."

"It's a no-brainer."

"When Cristiano can no longer play, he can take over."

The assistant coach standing nearby knew why Allegri insisted on using Dybala even though the team already had Ronaldo.

He's only 24 years old, and he's definitely the team's "future".

"Yes, it is like that."

"Don't worry about that for the club..."

But to Allegri's and his assistant coach's surprise, this seemingly impossible transfer request actually made progress.

He heard that the club had responded.

They can release the person if the other party can offer 120 million.

Let alone Allegri, the head coach, even Dybala himself was taken aback when he heard the news.

What went wrong?

But Allegri quickly figured it out.

It's actually related to the club's poor financial situation.

When they bought Cristiano Ronaldo a while ago, the factory owned by the club owner almost went on strike.

They'd rather spend 100 million to buy a veteran than give them a raise.

If the club can make back the money on its own, then the workers will have nothing to say.

"Aren't you going to try to persuade them?"

"This is a big decision that concerns the future of the team."

"How can we let business matters interfere?"

"Haven't we interfered enough?" Allegri rolled his eyes. These people don't care about the future.

It would be good enough if it could fill the current hole.

"I dont go."

“I can even imagine what those people will say to me.”

"Wouldn't it be great if we could develop more players like 'Paul'?"

"Just like a shady shop!"
