Chapter 440 Piacenza's Transfer Drama ([-])
This summer window, perhaps because of the successful precedent of Liu Feng, who was born in Brazil's youth training, Piacenza's scouting system began to make frequent efforts in Brazil to recommend many powerful players for the club.

In addition to Ganso who once again connected with the club through Joao, the head of the club's transfer also personally went to Brazil for two other negotiations.

This negotiation is not that simple. People who follow Piacenza's transfer operations have been paying attention for a long time before seeing the news that the club officially signed the other party.

Piacenza's first goal is the defender Miranda who is doing quite well in Sao Paulo now.

This is a powerful player who has had overseas experience. He played for Sochaux in Ligue [-] for a while, but that experience was not very smooth. Even Miranda did not attract much attention when he left France and returned to Brazil.

However, after returning to Sao Paulo, the defender suddenly became enlightened. In the three years he played for Sao Paulo, he was not only called up by the Brazilian national team, but also officially played in the World Cup qualifier Brazil against Peru in April this year.

In such an extremely competitive Brazil team, it is not an easy thing to have your own place.

Therefore, the negotiation between Piacenza and Sao Paulo this time was not that simple. The two sides started negotiations on the transfer of Miranda before the start of the summer window. It was not until Miranda publicly expressed his interest in going to Europe again that a breakthrough was made. In early August, the defender's joining was officially confirmed.

Piacenza paid 700 million euros to buy this defender who has now entered the list of candidates for the best defender in Brazil this season. Obviously, this 25-year-old player who has begun to enter his golden age will greatly strengthen Piacenza's defense.

And another player, it was not easy to sign.

In this summer window, a large number of veterans left the club. Among them, the departure of several regular substitute midfielders such as Padalino and Tozka made Piacenza's midfield look a little thin, not to mention that the club also failed in the game with Juventus about Marchisio.

Almost at the same time that Conte learned that Marchisio was about to leave the club, he contacted the club's transfer director, emphasizing that he needed a group of strong midfielders next season.

For this coach who is effective in leading the team, the club will naturally satisfy his wishes as much as possible.

Therefore, Piacenza's scouting team quickly made efforts to search for various teams, and made a series of lists and put them in front of Conte. After watching the various games and characteristics of these players, Conte and the club reached an agreement.

Their goal is Ramirez Santos, a young midfielder who is now in full swing in the Brazilian giants Cruzeiro.

This is a versatile 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 statistic. In terms of the number of goals, he is even better than some forwards.

In terms of defense, he is called a blue Kenyan by Cruzeiro fans. His running ability is similar to that of a Kenyan running a marathon. Yes, his abundant physical fitness enables him to help the team at any time. This is also a B2B midfielder.

Both the club and Conte are very satisfied with it, but they have to face the competition of another competitor, the Portuguese giants Benfica.

One is the attraction of the rich teams, and the other is the call of the five major leagues. Ramirez himself stood in the middle and there was no conclusion for a while, and it was time for the two teams to throw conditions.

In the end, Conte, who was once a world-class midfielder, impressed Ramirez with a phone call. At the age of 22, a player should always think first about how to grow better.

Whether it is the promise of more playing time or the attention of the head coach, Piacenza has surpassed Benfica, not to mention that Piacenza, which has just achieved No.2 in Serie A, will not look too bad in the future.

At the price of 800 million euros, Piacenza finally got this midfielder with great potential at this price. In addition to the confirmed introduction of Ganso and Miranda, Piacenza caused more sensation in Brazil this summer window than many giant teams.

These are relatively large investments, and they are also the main expenditures of Mr. Armani after he made additional investment to obtain more ownership of the club. In addition, the team also made several very good transactions in Italy.

Among them, the exchange of Gilardino from Fiorentina with Flocari plus 500 million euros made people who pay attention to Piacenza shout that the club's top management is simply a ghost.

After being promoted to Serie A, Piacenza, who quickly expanded the scouting network, also bought two other outstanding young players.

One is Antonio Candreva, the midfielder who played a brave role in the second half of last season and made great contributions to the Livoro team in Serie B. When Udinese did not choose to recall his loaned midfielder, Piacenza cut directly into it and convinced the 22-year-old young man with his playing opportunities and European qualifications.

After simply completing the negotiations with Udinese and Livorjo, Piacenza only paid 200 million euros to bring it under its command with a one-year lease and optional buyout rights.

The second is Acerbi, a teenager who stepped into the club's field of vision through the eyeliner of Conte's coaching team.

The reason why this player was noticed by Conte is that he was loaned to Serie C a few years ago. Conte, who had just started his coaching career, met this young defender in the game and was impressed.

In the past season, this player became a regular rotation player of the Pavia team in the second division. Although his ability has not yet reached the main standard of Serie A, in Conte's view, he is a very good and easy-to-use substitute.

So, after paying only 100 million euros, Piacenza bought him from Pavia.

In this way, Piacenza introduced a full six players in this summer window, which is not too small, but in the case of many players leaving at the same time, the number of players in the team is still maintained at a reasonable level.

But the team's lineup has made great progress in this wave of changes, both in terms of main strength and substitute quality, which can be seen very clearly from Conte's unconcealed smile in the corner of his eyes during the interview.

　The transfer personnel still have to write carefully, after all, this is related to the next season's 0.0 game, and at the same time thank ""Canghai┾Yilingfeng※" and "Flying Bear" for their big monthly tickets! Thank you for your support!
