Calafiori consecutively opened paths for three Divine Strikers, leaving his agent speechless.
At this time, due to spending long periods sitting on the bench, Calafiori’s competitive level was clearly no longer recognized by Serie A teams, and he subsequently joined the Serie B team Bologna.
However, Bologna’s young forward Matteo Kolber was influenced by this and led Bologna to a tenacious entry into Serie A, although they dropped back to Serie B the following season, they re-entered Serie A in the third season... Going back and forth like this, Kolber eventually became a renowned general, becoming a part of many major clubs’ recruitment plans.
After ten years of wandering, he "trained" three superstars and one top star, Calafiori’s mascot attribute has far surpassed his competitive value.
San Remo’s move to acquire him this time, it’s unclear who they’re preparing to bless.
Calafiori’s annual salary is four hundred thousand, higher than the average Serie B player, but lower than the average Serie A player level.
Finally, just when everyone thought San Remo should be satisfied, a major transfer shook the window.
"Shocking! Juventus captain leaves, Bernulin joins San Remo with a two million salary!"
"Juventus prodigy Canyes leaves to find opportunities, why did San Remo become his next stop?"
"Packed and taken! The new Serie B giant swings the checkbook, picking up Juventus one veteran and one youngster!"
"Secondary dividends and buyback clauses! Juventus signed special terms with San Remo regarding Canyes’ transfer, enjoying future purchase priority and secondary dividend rights!"
"Juventus prodigy Canyes joins San Remo, is the Star of Italy Team becoming a reality?"
"Following the Star of Italy Team’s purchase strategy, can’t go wrong! San Remo’s player acquisition is clear, preparing to replicate last summer’s prodigious lineup?"
"Bernulin: Juventus is my forever main team. Hearing Maniero say San Remo’s young players are very energetic, so I wanted to come and see!"
"Eleven million! Is San Remo earning or losing on this deal?"
Originally, everyone thought San Remo made a significant profit this transfer window.
The 12 million brought by Becher’s is enough for a Serie B team like San Remo to splurge for two to three seasons.
However, San Remo told everyone with actions, we have money, so let’s indulge extravagantly!
Is 12 million a lot?
Justice search search!
Half a month after the transfer window opened, San Remo extravagantly spent 18 million euros! Not afraid at all!
Among them, in the significant deal with Juventus, Bernulin’s transfer fee was two million, which had little difference from leaving for free. In this regard, Juventus fully respected Bernulin’s opinion and set no transfer obstacles.
However, similarly, Bernulin’s two million euro salary also suddenly became the highest at San Remo.
What is the concept of two million euros?
Currently, in Serie A, except for freakish stars like Izalelt, most top stars have a salary cap of around three million euros.
As Juventus captain for a long time, Bernulin was one of the defensive pillars. But his contract was relatively long, and except for the recent two-year high-salary contract with Juventus of three million euros, his previous salary had always been more than one million euros.
Juventus’s last high-salary contract was obviously meant to thank and reward Bernulin.
Theoretically, Bernulin could stay at Juventus and demand Juventus continue offering a three million euro high-salary contract.
Juventus would most likely offer it, even though Bernulin is already 33 years old. But as one of the Team Spirits, if he makes a request, the Juventus management doesn’t dare to refuse.
When dealing with team veterans, one must be careful, otherwise, the reputation and legacy of a prestigious club can be destroyed in an instant.
Juventus still pays attention to this aspect.
However, Bernulin is equally honest and upright; his character wouldn’t allow him to leverage his reputation among fans and the team to coerce the management for high pay.
Times have changed, and players’ self-expectations are vastly different.
Bernulin believes he is no longer worthy of the three million top salary.
At the same time, the aging Juventus needs renewal, and Bernulin also created space for the team’s recruitment plan.
Juventus is faithful and righteous, and Bernulin is equally dedicated to Juventus.
Even so, there were actually quite a few teams willing to offer Bernulin a high salary of two million euros, but most were lower-tier teams in the Five Major Leagues.
At his age, Bernulin no longer wants to venture abroad, but staying in a lower-tier Serie A team and getting hammered daily isn’t something his sense of honor would allow, so after some weighing, he accepted San Remo’s invitation.
Though old, joining the young ones in madness might also be a good choice.
With Bernulin on board, Sotu also casually inquired about Canyes.
Canyes at Juventus was actually a very troublesome point.
There was currently no place for Canyes in Juventus’ lineup!
Yes!
Although Canyes’ excellence is apparent to everyone, at the moment, Canyes still lacks some experience and training.
He is strong offensively but weak defensively, and the current Juventus head coach prefers a four-defender formation, prioritizing defense for right-backs because Juventus’ central defenders are already aging, requiring the wing-backs to assist in defense.
This doesn’t align with Canyes’ strong offense and weak defense traits.
Canyes personally doesn’t like this playstyle, leading to mutual interference between him and the head coach.
