Nicholas Nelka was moved to tears with joy; he was finally going home.
"Mr. Winter, thank you for taking me back. I will definitely help you fulfill your long-cherished wish and bring a Champions League trophy back to Arsenal!" Nelka hugged each of his Turkish Super League teammates and told them he was going home.
...
May 23rd.
The world of football was buzzing with numerous transfer rumors.
Although the transfer window had not yet opened, and the league had not even ended, many reinforcement efforts were already underway.
Among them, it was reported that Lazio rejected Atletico Madrid's pursuit of their star central forward Duwan Yilich.
Duwan was very displeased with this and wished to transfer.
However, Lazio took many measures and ultimately managed to appease Duwan.
But it's said that Atletico Madrid then turned their attention to Juventus' veteran central forward Manzuyovich.
Manzuyovich will be a free agent this summer. Juventus is negotiating a renewal with him, but they're stuck on the salary terms.
Previously, Manzuyovich only had an annual salary of two million euros. He's basically onto his last contract, and he hopes for a three-year deal with three million annually.
However, Juventus is only willing to offer a one-year deal, and the two sides are likely to part ways amicably.
According to reports, Atletico Madrid is said to offer a high salary of four million euros, giving Manzuyovich no reason not to go.
Nevertheless, Juventus is also prepared to let Manzuyovich go. They seem to be very optimistic about Kolber, who is currently second on the Serie B scoring chart. They're in frequent contact with Kolber's agent.
Kolber himself is eager to join a giant club like Juventus, and there are unlikely to be many obstacles to this deal.
Among Serie A giants, only Juventus and Inter Milan can offer such a position to Kolber.
At Inter Milan, their relationship with Talista has completely broken down. On one hand, they are making Talista fight hard to secure their top-four league spot, and on the other, they're trying to sell him, but... there are no takers.
Elsewhere in other leagues, the most explosive news is about the French Alien, Nicholas Nelka, expressing his desire to return to the Premier League.
As a former Premier League top scorer and best player, his cumulative transfer fee ranks first in the world.
This fully underscores his bounty hunter nature.
Some people exaggeratedly say that his signing-on fee is higher than his playing salary, suggesting he likes transferring more than playing.
A character like him could almost be considered a "magnified version" of Talista.
Many people are not optimistic about Nelka's return.
But among those Premier League clubs who have faced defeat by Nelka, quite a few are interested in him. These include but are not limited to Manchester City, Tottenham, Crystal Palace, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Among them, the wealthy Manchester City seems to be the closest to Nelka.
Until Mr. Winter was interviewed and said: "Any family's child can make mistakes. I used to be very stubborn, believing that a mistake is a mistake and can't be changed."
"But in the past two days, someone told me that even if there's a mistake, you can move on; only by looking forward can you live better."
"If Nelka wants to return to the Premier League, then I would say to him, welcome home!"
These words were enough to spark imagination.
Of course, when reporters continued to pursue related news, Mr. Winter pointed at his watch and said: "Sorry, the Italian Cup final is about to start, I've got to watch the match!"
Everyone suddenly realized that today's biggest headline seemed to belong to San Remo and AC Milan.
Would last year's champion successfully defend the title, or would the kings of Serie A be able to redeem themselves?
AC Milan VS San Remo, version 2.0.
All eyes are on this matchup.
Italy.
San Siro Stadium.
AC Milan fans occupied half of the stadium.
This was normal; they could even occupy all the seats during a home game.
What was truly shocking was that San Remo fans almost filled the other half of the stadium.
Even though the tickets for this match were allocated neutrally.
Still, one cannot deny, this is Milan City.
For San Remo to have so many fans in Milan City.
Their influence has become truly terrifying.
When Russell Group initially planned to build a four-star stadium for San Remo, people mocked them, saying San Remo couldn't possibly have so many fans.
That stadium would eventually be rented out to some Serie A team.
But who would have thought, in just three years, San Remo's fan base grew from two thousand to thirty thousand, fifty thousand, a hundred thousand!
This is a growth rate that no other team has achieved.
But strangely, San Remo did it.
This match brought some good news for San Remo.
Sogel made a quick recovery, returning to San Siro.
Thus, San Remo's starting lineup is:
Bai Zhami, Sogel
Lu Yang, Morici, Canyes
Lam, Kaint
Bernulin, Naji, Camihong
Areola
This is San Remo's most familiar lineup, and specifically to counter Izalelt's impact, San Remo replaced the aging Palacios with the more energetic Naji.
Although this substitution is likely futile, it at least shows their dedication.
As for AC Milan, this time they are truly determined.
Apart from Izalelt, who insisted on playing, all other main players of AC Milan are resting to prepare for the Champions League!
With a whistle blow, the match officially began.
AC Milan played simply, passing the ball to Izalelt after crossing the halfway line.
Relying on his personal ability, Izalelt wreaked havoc in San Remo's central defense.
