So, where there's Ancelotti, there's absolutely no Lu Yang!
And Ancelotti is currently in contract renewal talks with Juventus.
Juventus certainly wants to find a successor for Ancelotti, but they haven't found one shortly, losing their advantage as a result.
So now Juventus is actually being manipulated by Ancelotti.
The only sticking point between the two parties is that Ancelotti wants a high-paying three-year long-term contract.
But Juventus only wants to offer a high-paying two-year short-term contract, preferably signing one year at a time.
However, if Juventus wants to bring Lu Yang to Juventus Stadium, then Ancelotti might directly refuse to cooperate!
And that is something Juventus can't accept right now.
Even if next summer, Ancelotti really does refuse to cooperate, Juventus has countermeasures to sign several effective forwards in the summer transfer window to make up for the shortfall.
But now, it's the winter transfer window!
If Ancelotti leaves, Juventus might collapse on three fronts.
If they lose the league title or even Champions League qualification, who will take responsibility?
This is a loss that can't be made up for by introducing any number of forwards in the summer transfer window.
So, this offer from Juventus was sent in a very awkward manner.
They have essentially given Ancelotti the opportunity to threaten them.
Sure enough, after this offer was made, San Remo didn't even have time to refuse it.
Ancelotti's side exploded immediately.
Although Ancelotti had said many times that there was no conflict between him, Lu Yang, and Morici, and everyone was for the good of Italy.
But Ancelotti's agent flew to England overnight.
The next day, reliable news surfaced.
"Prince Zebra coming to Anfield? Liverpool's strongest reinforcement list released! Ancelotti tops the list!"
"Tottenham Hotspur ready to make a move? Spurs claim they will go all-in to pursue Ancelotti!"
"Breaking! Prince Zebra may land in the Premier League? Chelsea's Golden Yuan to hit Serie A again?"
Ancelotti's agent is clearly serious.
And Juventus executives understood where they went wrong.
They shouldn't have expressed their desire for Lu Yang.
If they had waited until next summer, it might have been incredibly beneficial.
But now... it seems trouble is brewing!
To keep Ancelotti, they must pay a huge price this time.
Juventus immediately contacted Ancelotti.
But couldn't reach him!
Ancelotti went out to sea on a yacht to throw a party and wouldn't be back for a few days.
The foundations of the top club in Serie A were rocked, starting to show a slight chaos and panic.
If someone says the previous reports were just rumors and shouldn't be believed.
Then following this.
"Newcastle United bids! 18 million euros to purchase Prince Zebra Ancelotti! Sincerely hoping to bring the prince to the Premier League!"
"Champions League winner Liverpool spends 20 million euros! The pursuit of Ancelotti never stops! Making the greatest effort for Champions League defense!"
Real-money offers were made.
Even though Ancelotti's transfer fee only reached 20 million euros, far below Gutierrez's 48 million euros.
But... how old is Ancelotti?
How old is Gutierrez?
Ancelotti, who is about to turn thirty-three, is already in the late stages of his career, and having a 20 million valuation at this time is not too far off from C Luo leaving Real Madrid at thirty-three for 100 million euros.
Gutierrez, despite being previously hailed as Serie A's top divine striker, a top-five super forward in the world, when he reaches thirty-three and excluding the effects of inflation, may not have Ancelotti's valuation.
Liverpool truly and sincerely wants to buy!
It wasn't until this moment that Juventus made a bold decision to completely give up on Lu Yang.
At this point, Juventus fans were still unaware, but internally, Juventus was very clear.
In the future of Italy's finest young talent, there will never be black and white!
Finally, the day after Ancelotti's return from the sea.
Juventus announced the renewal with Ancelotti: "We are thrilled to have renewed with the team's legendary striker, Prince Zebra, our eternal Ancelotti!"
Subsequently, the contract details were disclosed.
Both Juventus and Ancelotti compromised.
The contract term is two years.
Ancelotti's annual salary is six million euros, making him the highest-paid in Serie A!
Juventus fans are elated!
They have captured Ancelotti's final peak, they have captured the present!
But Juventus executives are silent.
Perhaps they have also let go of the future!
...
After the news of Ancelotti's renewal, other transfer news became inconsequential.
The news of Ness player Kaint's transfer to San Remo for 4.5 million euros didn't make any waves.
Ness: "We've completed a transaction with San Remo, and we wish Kaint a pleasant future at San Remo."
San Remo: "Welcome Kaint's arrival, we are filled with confidence for his future, he will become an extremely important piece in San Remo's midfield puzzle!"
The San Remo team hardly remembered the little stature of this player.
Some even had malice towards him, because Ness tried to sell this "trash" to San Remo for a high price of ten million euros.
Kaint was caught in unnecessary trouble and was often mocked by San Remo fans before.
Therefore, after his transfer, his situation in the media was quite dangerous for a while.
Fortunately.
San Remo's layout spoke up.
Lu Yang reposted the team's official announcement of Kaint's transfer and tagged Kaint: "Mate! Welcome to San Remo! But you'll inherit the throne of King of Interceptions from me!"
Morici followed closely: "I'm finally not the shorty on the team! Don't worry Kaint, I'll have your back, if anyone bullies you just mention my name!"
