Chapter 240 Udinese Supermarket Opens

With Bruno staying on the team, it also announced the opening of the Udinese Supermarket.

In the original plan of the Udinese management, if Bruno transfers and leaves this summer, they will try their best to retain other players to ensure that Udinese's record next season will not suffer a large-scale decline.

However, after two months of vigorous speculation, Bruno's transfer suddenly stopped going forward. Then Udinese would naturally have to sell the remaining players to operate the team.

After all, after winning the Champions League and Serie A double, if you want to retain players, a larger salary increase is inevitable.

Although Udinese's revenue increased significantly last season, for the team's long-term plan, Udinese's management will not retain all the original players, which will result in a significant increase in the team's total salary. of soaring.

Therefore, in the next period of time, Udinese officially announced several transfer news.

………………

In this summer, the first to leave was the team's backup forward Muriel. The Colombian forward has been a substitute for Udinese in the past two seasons. The 2013-2014 season was better, but he didn't get much time last season. The 24-year-old Colombian does not want to continue to sit on the bench at Udinese.

When the summer transfer window opened, his agent began looking for a new home for him. However, because he didn't get many opportunities last season, he only played 21 games in all competitions, and most of them came as a substitute. He only scored 4 goals and 5 assists, so not many clubs are interested in him.

After more than a month of difficult negotiations, Sampdoria became Muriel's next destination, and Udinese recovered €1000 million in transfer funds from him.

The second player to leave was Guillerme, who had only joined Udinese for one season. The Brazilian midfielder had a fantastic season with Udinese, but he was not satisfied with the treatment given by Udinese, so he decided to leave.

Due to his outstanding performance at Udinese last season, the Brazilian has no shortage of new players. But what is surprising is that he chose Deportivo La Coruna, which struggled to avoid relegation in La Liga last season.

Guillerme left the team, Udinese lost a midfielder and received a transfer fee of 1500 million euros.

Following Guillerme's departure, another Brazilian, Gabriel Silva, also left.

The Brazilian defender was still a regular defensive rotation player for Udinese in the 2013-2014 season, but with the rise of Cancelo and Piris last season, even the general Erto was reduced to a substitute. Silva had even fewer opportunities.

This also made him uninterested in the transfer market, and Udinese had no choice but to loan him to newly promoted Serie A club Carpi.

………………

In fact, before the news of Bruno staying on the team was officially announced, several players from Udinese left the team, but they were basically all on loan or at a very low price, and no one paid attention to it.

Most of these players are players from Udinese's youth team and reserve team, and not many from the first team. In addition to the three mentioned above, there is also the young player Nico Lopez who was introduced from Roma.

For example, the transfer fees of Muriel and Guillerme exceeded 1000 million euros, just two of them.

After the news of Bruno staying on the team was officially announced, the first important player to leave the team was Kanter.

After joining Udinese for two seasons, Kante has become the backbone of Udinese's defense. Although he only signed a new contract with the team last summer, the original treatment obviously could not meet Kanter's requirements, and Udinese has no intention of improving his treatment again this summer.

As a result, Mendes has been looking for a home for Kanter. It's just that Udinese has been reluctant to release him before, which has caused his transfer to be delayed to this day.

After Bruno officially announced that he would stay on the team, Udinese finally relented, so Kante's transfer was quickly completed.

And his next club also surprised Bruno, it was Leicester City, the Blue Fox of the Premier League!
  In the 2014-2015 season, Leicester City was once considered certain to be relegated. They ranked last in the Premier League for 140 days. Relying on Nigel Pearson, Leicester City won 9 of the last 7 games and completed the victory escape.

This summer, Leicester City welcomed Ranieri, known as the "tinker", and in the transfer market, owner Vichai is also actively recruiting.

Obviously, Leicester City does not want to repeat the experience of being the deputy squad leader for a long time last season.

Then, Ranieri took a fancy to French midfielder N'Golo Kante, who performed well at Udinese. After a period of negotiations, Kante moved to the Blue Fox for a price of 2000 million pounds.

………………

After learning that Kanter actually transferred to Leicester City, Bruno was silent for a long time.

Unknowingly, Leicester City once again assembled another lineup that created the "Blue Fox Miracle" in time and space!

You know, Mahrez and Kante were both recruited by him to Udinese, but both of them went to Leicester City one after another by accident.

After a long silence, Bruno called Vanessa who was still in Milan: "Dear, do you want to make some pocket money? Go buy Leicester City in the Premier League and win the Premier League championship in the new season!"       "?" Vanessa was confused when she suddenly received a call from Bruno.

Of course Bruno was joking with her and hung up the phone after chatting for a few words.

After Vanessa ended her phone call with Bruno, she checked the news about Leicester City online, and then she learned about Leicester City's miraculous relegation experience last season, and became interested in this team.

Especially knowing that Bruno's teammate Kanter had just transferred to Leicester City, Vanessa was even more surprised.

Because of Bruno's relationship, Vanessa is very concerned about Udinese's performance and knows that Bruno, a teammate, is a very good defender.

As for Bruno telling her to buy Leicester City to win the championship, Vanessa didn't take it to heart.

However, after she checked the winning odds of each Premier League team, she was a little dumbfounded.

On this list, defending champion Chelsea leads the way with 1 to 2.65, followed by Blue Moon Manchester City with 1 to 3.75, and Arsenal with 1 to 5. As for the Red Devils Manchester United, where Bruno will transfer to next season, the odds are It's 1 to 6.

And Leicester City, whom Bruno just joked about, has an exaggerated odds of 1 to 5001, tied for last place with another weak team, Watford!

………………

Vanessa is no stranger to the odds offered by betting companies in Europe before the season. They often offer exaggerated odds for less promising teams.

Just like Udinese last season, before the start of the season, many well-known European gambling companies offered odds of 1 to 101 or even 1 to 201.

But this move made these gambling companies complain after the end of the season, because Udinese actually won the championship!
  For many fans, although they will not buy a lot of money for their home team to win the championship, out of the intention of supporting the team, buying ten or twenty euros is a lot.

Udinese's fan base is still very good, and the cumulative number is also very impressive.

Among them, the largest bet was made by a local Udine fan who placed a bet of 1000 euros. After the season, he exchanged it for 20.1 euros, which can be said to be a fortune overnight.

The major gambling companies did not make much money in Serie A last season, and some even lost money.

This has also led to these betting companies being a lot more cautious when setting winning odds for Serie A teams in the new season.

Thinking of Udinese's miraculous win in Serie A last season, Vanessa's heart moved.

Maybe Bruno wasn't completely joking when he asked her to buy Leicester City to win the championship?

With this in mind, Vanessa decided to go to the lottery shop and bet on Leicester City winning the championship, and directly placed a bet of 1 euros.

………………

Bruno didn't know that what he said to Vanessa as a joke was actually placed in the bet.

At the moment, he is preparing for the upcoming European Super Cup with Udinese.

The 2015 European Super Cup will be held on the evening of August 8th, local time in Europe, at the Tbilisi National Stadium in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. Last season’s Champions League champion Udinese will face the Europa League champion Seve. Leah.

This will be Udinese's first significant warm-up match this summer, after they had only played two warm-up matches against lower-level teams.

Although Udinese defeated Real Madrid to win the European Super Cup last summer, Bruno did not want to give up any trophy, so he was preparing very seriously, but other Udinese players , not too concerned about this.

Just before the Udinese team was about to leave for Georgia, Udinese once again officially announced a transfer. Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah, who only joined the team in the winter transfer window, moves to Roma!
  Bruno was a little confused when he learned the news. After all, the Egyptian talent had only joined the team for half a season, so why did Udinese sell him in such a hurry?

Moreover, Salah's talent and strength have been confirmed. After joining Udinese for half a season, the Egyptian played 25 games on behalf of Udinese in Serie A and the Champions League, contributing 12 goals and 7 assists. His performance was so good!

However, after Bruno read the major media reports on the transfer, Bruno finally understood the reason: Roma gave too much and it was impossible to refuse!

Roma offers 3000 million euros for Salah!

A newcomer who spent 1500 million euros to buy in the winter transfer window was sold for double the price. Is there any more cost-effective business than this?

Bruno smiled helplessly. This summer, Udinese has really become a player supermarket!
