From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 237 Drawing the sword and looking around in confusion

For top clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, ​​such a small amount of revenue may seem insignificant, but for Udinese, this has already set a team historical record.

From the Pozzo family, the owners of Udinese, to the club management, they all know who the real key figure is for Udinese's performance.

It can be said that without Bruno, Udinese would not have been able to win Serie A and the Champions League last season!

Of course, even if Bruno continues to stay in the team, it does not mean that Udinese can still win Serie A and the Champions League next season.

But as long as Udinese can participate in the Champions League and then reach the knockout rounds of the Champions League, Udinese's revenue per season will be stable at around 1.5 million euros!

Before Bruno joined Udinese, Udinese's single-season revenue did not even exceed 1 million euros!

This means that Bruno will add at least 5000 million euros to Udinese every season!

Selling Bruno will only bring a huge amount of income to the team in one time. But by keeping Bruno, the team can continue to earn stable income.

Of course, it is impossible for Udinese to keep Bruno forever. Similarly, if it does not increase investment, it is impossible for the team to consistently participate in the Champions League or even advance to the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

However, as long as Bruno is kept for one more season, the team can get an additional 5000 million euros!

………………

Mendes paid attention to Bruno's expression, took a guess, and asked tentatively: "If Real Madrid's offer is accepted by Udinese, do you really want to transfer to Real Madrid?"

Bruno frowned and asked without answering, "What do you think?"

"This is not a good choice." Mendes said frankly.

Bruno was a little surprised and asked: "Tell me about it."

"From a competitive perspective, as a midfield organizer, you can coexist with Cristiano, just like you can coexist with Messi when you go to Barcelona. But theories are always just theories, no matter what the internal competition. , is also a kind of competition. Once it reaches that level, who do you think will suffer more?"

Bruno understood what Mendes meant. His current influence is still not comparable to that of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. Whether you go to Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​your only destiny is to be an assistant to Ronaldo or Messi.

How could Bruno not know this truth?

"But you know, I want greater development, leaving Udinese is an inevitable choice, and currently there are only a few teams in European football that can afford me. And considering the price of those teams Under the current situation, Real Madrid and Barcelona are already the best choices." Bruno said helplessly.

For players of his level, there are very few wealthy teams that can transfer to them. Judging from the current environment of European football, those who can afford him and want to buy him are Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea in the Premier League, Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, and Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.

However, the foundations of Manchester City and Chelsea are somewhat different. Paris Saint-Germain is not considered by Bruno at all because the overall competitiveness of Ligue 1 is too poor.

Although Manchester United is Bruno's favorite, their team is currently in a mess, and Chef Fan's transformation of the Red Devils has not been successful at all.

Mendes also understands the difficulty. Sometimes, even a top star like Bruno cannot help himself.

………………

Mendes told Bruno that in addition to the Spanish Super League duo, Chelsea and Manchester City in the Premier League have also made offers to Udinese, and the prices are more than 100 million euros.

Mourinho's second season back at Stamford Bridge was relatively successful. With an 8-point advantage in the Premier League, he won the league title again after five years and also won the League Cup. However, it failed in the Champions League and only stopped in the top . This made Abramovich very dissatisfied.

In view of Bruno's outstanding performance in European competitions in the past two seasons, Mourinho made a suggestion to Abramovich to sign Bruno. This also made Abramovich very tempted, and he began to seriously implement the transfer and made an inquiry to Udinese. The first offer put forward was as high as 150 million euros.

Manchester City is the fourth team that has made an offer to Udinese, and the offer is also the highest, reaching 8000 million pounds. According to the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to million euros!

In the second season of the Chilean Engineer's coaching, Blue Moon experienced a season in which all four teams were defeated. Such results naturally make the Middle East consortium very dissatisfied, so it is inevitable to strengthen the lineup in the summer.

After the restrictions of the Financial Fair Play policy are lifted, Middle Eastern consortiums that are not short of money are bound to dominate the transfer market.

However, neither Chelsea nor Manchester City are Bruno's cup of tea.

Chelsea is about to usher in the third season of Mu's second period, and Bruno knows how powerful Mu's three-year curse is. Bruno knows only too well how chaotic Chelsea is in the new season. The players collectively failed, and Mourinho was fired before the halfway mark of the season.

If he transfers to Chelsea at this time, he will definitely be targeted by the Blues locker room. No matter how capable he is, there is nothing he can do.

As for Manchester City, as a Manchester United fan, how could he join his mortal enemy?

………………

Time is quickly entering July, and the summer transfer window has officially opened.

Mendes only stayed in Geneva for one day before leaving to broker Bruno's transfer.

<divclass="contentadv">That day, Bruno was having breakfast when his cell phone suddenly rang. The unfamiliar number made him a little surprised, because not many people could get his phone number.

After getting through, the other person directly introduced himself on the phone. He was Pellegrini.

When he first heard the name, Bruno was stunned for a moment and didn't react at first, but soon he let out an ah sound, which scared Vanessa who was sitting opposite him while eating.

Bruno hurried to the living room so as not to be disturbed.

Bruno really didn't expect Pellegrini to call him.

Although the two have never played on the court, Pellegrini smiled and said that he had watched a lot of Bruno's games. He liked Bruno's playing style on the court and the desire and passion he showed. .

"I know that many things have not been determined yet, but I called you today just to tell you that I really hope to see you in my team. I believe that together we can Can create a new peak for Manchester City."

Bruno kept thanking him. He said that he was full of admiration for Manchester City and Pellegrini. He believed that playing in Manchester City would be a wonderful thing, and he also firmly believed that Pellegrini Nick can bring success to Manchester City.

The two had a phone call for about half an hour. Pellegrini talked a lot about his thoughts on the team, his ideas for team formation, and how he planned to bring out Bruno's role.

From this phone call, Bruno could feel that Pellegrini valued him, and he was sure that Pellegrini was a person who paid great attention to details. He was fully prepared before making this call. .

Bruno was also very grateful for this and kept thanking him.

Although he knew very well that he could not go to Manchester City, Bruno was still very grateful to be valued by the other coach.

Besides, even if it was just to be polite, he should express his gratitude.

………………

After hanging up the phone from Pellegrini, Bruno felt agitated.

The same was true in the summer two years ago. At that time, he didn't know which team he was going to, and he was very irritable. However, he finally came to Udinese without any danger.

Everything went very smoothly during his two years at Udinese. Not only did he win the Serie A championship, he also won the Europa League and the Champions League consecutively. The team also valued him, which made Bruno very satisfied.

Now, he was once again faced with a choice.

Bruno no longer even thought about eating. He walked to the living room, opened his laptop, and checked the recent European football news. The most popular one was undoubtedly his transfer.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain... clubs that are almost likely to introduce him have all had scandals with him.

The media outside was making a lot of noise, but Bruno himself had no idea at all, and he didn't know which team he should go to.

At this point, although the transfer market is very busy, not many transfers have actually been completed. In particular, there are very few large-scale investments exceeding 3000 million euros.

On the other hand, every club is aggressively clearing out veterans and even meritorious players. For example, Real Madrid got rid of their old captain Casillas, Barcelona's meritorious player Xavi also left the team, Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech was sold to Arsenal...

According to media reports, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Manchester City and other clubs are still actively in contact with Udinese, and the transfer officials of each club frequently communicate with their respective clubs and Udinese. , is actively promoting this transfer.

The entire European football world is also watching.

Everyone knows that no matter which club introduces Bruno, it will inevitably sell some of the original players in the team. On the one hand, it is to balance salaries, and on the other hand, it is to clear out redundant personnel. At that time, several blockbuster transfers will be made one after another, causing a chain reaction.

No team thinks that Udinese will make big signings after selling Bruno. After all, Udinese's operating strategy is like that, and there has been almost no change in decades.

The entire transfer market is looking forward to it, but Bruno himself feels like he is hanging in mid-air. This makes him feel like he is unable to eat when he has stopped, and he draws his sword and looks around with confusion.

It wasn't until Vanessa's hand gently placed on his shoulder that he felt relieved.

She had been standing silently behind him.
