As time went on, Fiorentina's summer training season had arrived, and with the exception of Batistuta, who had been granted a two-week break to participate in the Copa America in the summer, all the other players were concentrated at the Fiorentina training base for pre-season physical reserves.

Zhuang Mingge is still constantly sketching in the office, trying to find an all-round midfielder from his memory, and of course, he must be able to accept the positioning of Effenberg as a substitute.

"Gattuso, Ambrosini, Makelle, Zidane...... These people are either too tender or can't accept the position of a substitute, and they all have to be passed. Zhuang Mingge crossed out these names on the list and whispered to himself, "Isn't there a player who meets my requirements......"

While Zhuang Mingge was pondering his choice for the substitute midfielder in Fiorentina, the shock wave caused by the Boseman Act began to intensify in the European transfer market.

Van Praag, who was recently promoted to vice president of the club, announced the loan of Colini and Gianni Keda from Fiorentina, and also announced that the 30-year-old Danish superstar Michel Laudrup joined the team from Real Madrid on a free transfer. dragged his tired body to the Dutch league for retirement.

At the same time, Van Praag also announced with a smile at the press conference that Ajax FC has re-signed a long-term contract with all first-team players who have not yet left, and has also signed a contract extension with the manager who led Ajax to the championship last season, Louis van Gaal.

The meaning of Van Praag's move is clear: Want an Ajax player? Then you have to shell out a decent transfer fee, and the "free" good things like the one before will not happen again.

Among the players who left on a free transfer from Ajax this summer, Davies joined Fiorentina, while the boss who worked hard for a long time only signed one player, Kanu; Kluivert and Reziger chose to follow in the footsteps of the "Dutch Three Musketeers" under the combined attack of Basten and Galliani, signing a work contract with AC Milan; Fiindie George surprisingly did not choose a big team, but went to La Liga club Real Betis......

As for Seedorf, who Zhuang Mingge pursued unsuccessfully at the beginning, he did not choose to join a top club immediately, and after rejecting the invitations of Barcelona and AC Milan, the Dutch midfielder chose Sampdoria as his first stop abroad.

After carving up a large number of high-quality resources of Ajax, the unsatisfied giants began to set their sights on other "weak" clubs, and continued to enjoy this gluttonous feast with their own financial advantages.

On July 30, AC Milan officially announced the signing of Liberian striker George Weah of the French club Paris Saint-Germain Club for a transfer fee of 8 million US dollars, the reason why the price will be so low is largely because Weah's contract will expire at the end of this season, and Saint-Germain people are worried that Weah's free transfer will cause the club to lose more, so they reluctantly sold him to AC Milan cheaply at a jump price of 8 million US dollars.

In this way, in the absence of Baggio joining Milan in '95 as he could have done in history, the Milanese got Kluivert two years ahead of schedule. I just don't know if the young Kluivert and Weah, who are in their prime, can get rid of the "fate" of a dismal ending in history under the leadership of Capello.

A day later, the boss of Mo, who dreamed of defeating his rivals in the city, made his second deal since the Bosman era, poaching midfield tough Paul Ince from Manchester United in the Premier League for a transfer fee of £7 million, plus two complementary homegrown goalscorers Blanca (who later became Inter Milan's general manager) and Gunz, as well as Zanetti and Robert Carlos, who had moved to Inter Milan before Boseman's arrival, and Inter Milan had a first summer transfer period under Moratti's personal directionThe pre-season preparations look very good.

Juventus' general manager Moggi seems to have just come to Amsterdam for a tour, and after pretending to contact a few Ajax players who are in the "free body", Mo Lao Fox returned to Turin and never left his base camp.

Just when people thought that the old foxes were ready to adapt to all changes and continue to use last season's squad to play the world, Juventus finally made a move: they bought Lombardo and Jugovic from Sampdoria, and their arrival made Vialli no longer lonely in Turin; At the same time, Baggio's departure made Lippi completely firm in his idea of straightening Piero to the top of the position.

Barcelona did not stop strengthening the team after losing in the process of chasing Seedorf and Reziger, but due to the increasingly obvious contradictions between coach Cruyff and President Nunez, many of Barcelona's transfer work this season was not carried out according to Cruyff's intentions: Barcelona's "dream team" period of the forward combination of Stoichkov and Romario parted ways this summer, and the "thunderbolt" with a growing temper but getting worse and worse was sent to Parma, Brazil's "lone wolf" was repatriated to Brazil by Barcelona because of his casual professional attitude; To compensate for the emptiness of the backline following Koeman's departure, Nunez brought in Romanian centre-back Popescu from Tottenham.

After the failure of the chase for Kluivert, Baldano, who led the team to the La Liga title last season, has no time to regret it, and he is still seizing the time to implement his envisioned "youth" policy within the Real Madrid team.

While Europe's biggest names are scouring for "bargains", the headquarters in Florence is a different story:

"Boss, Vincent (Montella's) transfer has been completed and Samp has remitted the transfer fee to the club's account." Poirot reported to Zhuang Mingge in the chairman's office, "However, since Vincent only has one year left on his contract, we can't afford to worry too much about the transfer fee, so he is only worth $6 million." ”

Under the "interference" of Zhuang Mingge, Montra, who played limited time last season but scored 10 league goals, joined Sampdoria a year earlier than in history, and he will form a new attacking combination with fellow newcomers Chiesa and Seedorf.

With Montella's departure, Fiorentina's summer transfer work was about to end, and Poirot was sent away, and Zhuang Mingge put a document on the table, on which the name of a player was written.
