Chapter 309 The Attraction of Giants
Media journalists have a very keen sense of smell.
Of course, it may be the agent of Inter Milan or Icardi who deliberately let the news out.
In short, rumors appeared in the news media that Icardi was about to leave Sampdoria, and among so many Icardi's suitors, Inter Milan was listed only.
It said that Icardi is very likely to join Inter Milan.
The report said that the sports director of Inter Milan Club Osirio has appeared in Genoa. He definitely did not come here for Genoa Club, because there are no players that Inter Milan can be interested in. His purpose is only for this trip, Sampdoria's Icardi.
The report also said that after several consecutive bids for Gao Zheng failed, Inter Milan turned its attention to Icardi. Compared with the absolutely non-selling product Gao Zheng, Icardi is much easier to win.
The news caused a sensation as soon as it came out.
Although Icardi's reputation is not as good as Gao Zheng, he is the No. 2 scorer in the team who scored fifteen goals last season.
In the first third of last season, Icardi is not the main player. Sampdoria fans have always been looking forward to this season Gao Zheng and Icardi form a golden partner and lead the team to the Champions League.
As a result, there is such a rumor now.
Everyone is happy that Gao Zheng can stay, and they also hope that Icardi can stay...
Everyone would rather believe that this is fake.
Frecelo, a reporter from The Nineteenth Century, asked Icardi to verify the authenticity of the rumor.
Ordinary players either directly deny it or say some ambiguous words.
But to Frecelo's surprise, Icardi admitted the authenticity of the rumor very directly: "Yes, I don't want to deceive anyone, I want to leave Sampdoria. But this does not mean that I have no feelings for Sampdoria, I just want to go to a bigger stage to pursue higher goals."
Frechelo's eyes widened when he heard Icardi say this.
Icardi admitted so directly, does this mean that the situation is complete, and he has a high probability of transferring to Inter Milan?
After coming back to his senses, he quickly asked: "But... but IMHO, Sampdoria will participate in the Champions League in the new season, while Inter Milan... They don't even have the qualification to be a UEFA Champions League..."
"Not this season, it doesn't mean there is no next season. What I value is long-term planning."
Frecello didn't know what to say, but he clearly felt that Inter Milan's future was brighter than Sampdoria's future.
In a sense, this is true. No one believes that Sampdoria can participate in the Champions League every year. It is very accidental that Sampdoria can participate in the Champions League, and it is very accidental that Inter Milan cannot participate in the Champions League. This is the difference between the two teams.
No matter how unhappy someone is, they must admit this.

"Gao, that Icardi really said?"
When Gao Zheng went to the "Sailor's House" to buy Focacha, the fat boss Porata asked Gao Zheng with the "Nineteenth Century Newspaper".
Gao Zheng shrugged: "I don't know, boss. I was not at the scene at that time."
Porata frowned and looked at the photo of Icardi in the newspaper.
"It's simply abominable! I would rather go to a team that can't even play in the Europa League than stay in Sampdoria to play the Champions League. I have no idea what this Argentine boy is thinking. Is there any water in his mind?"
Gao Zheng, who knew the real reason for Icardi's departure, heard Boss Polata say this and didn't say anything.
Then Porata sighed: "Forget it, let him go if you don't want to stay in the team. We enthusiastically try to keep it, but people look down on us, why bother?"
Gao Zheng was happy: "Boss, you are so open-minded."
"What can I do if I don't want to open? Actually, I know that small teams like us can't keep people, and it's hard to expect someone to stay forever. That's unrealistic. This kind of thing happens often. If you don't learn to adjust your own mentality, you will be depressed one day sooner or later."
"It's so exaggerated, boss. You see, haven't I stayed?"
Porata gave Gao Zheng a blank look: "Who wants you to stay? You are the one who should go to a bigger stage to pursue higher goals!"
"Hey, boss, you're so double standards!"
Porata snorted: "For people with different talents, of course, they should use different standards. If I look at you with ordinary standards, it will be unfair to you. I will feel unhappy if I really want to go to Inter Milan, but if you want to go, I will only be happy and wish you happiness!"
Gao Zheng shook his head: "I won't go to Inter Milan. Boss, if I want to leave Sampdoria one day, I will definitely not stay in Serie A and Sampdoria as enemies."
"Look," Porata pointed to Gao Zheng and said. "On this alone, you are so taller than the Argentine boy!"
Gao Zheng found that Boss Polata was simply his "brainless fan" - he heard this word from Feng Shiyao. At that time, Feng Shiyao introduced Xiao Yingying's insurance to him and told him this word, referring to the kind of fans who support their idols desperately, just like losing their minds.
This is a derogatory term, but in some situations and contexts it can also become a title that contains pride.
Gao Zheng didn't say that Boss Polata is a brainless person, but what the boss showed is indeed a bit like a loyal fan - no matter what he does, it is right.
He smiled and shook his head: "Boss, you are like this, I have to sympathize with Imaro."
He then said goodbye to Porata and left.
I thought to myself, maybe next time Icardi returns to the Marasi Stadium, what will be greeted will probably not be friendship and kindness, but booing.
But this is the path Icardi himself chose. Everyone is responsible for the path he chose, so there is nothing else to say.

Zagramora and Osirio have been struggling for a long time for Icardi's transfer fee, so Icardi's transfer has not been successfully discussed yet, and Andre Poli and AC Milan's transfer have been negotiated.
In the end, AC Milan paid three million euros plus half ownership of a young Polish defender Saramon and got half ownership of Andre Poly.
After the transfer transaction is completed, Poly will directly transfer to AC Milan and play for AC Milan.
From then on, he was no longer a sailor in Genoa.
In fact, Poly's departure also made the Sampdoria fans feel a little sad. After all, the Sampdoria fans had high expectations for the talented midfielder. However, his experience in Sampdoria was not successful. He was loaned to Inter Milan before and thought he would stay in Inter Milan. As a result, Inter Milan did not initiate a buyout clause at the last moment, which led to him hastily returning to Sampdoria last season. Although he can play games frequently in Sampdoria, his performance is far from what everyone expected of him before.
After Obiang and Kostici grew up, his position became less stable.
In fact, in the eyes of many Sampdoria fans, the club does not have to sell Poly, and he can enhance the team's bench thickness in the midfield.
But it is obvious that the player himself is not willing to stay in Sampdoria.
Although AC Milan can only play in the Europa League in the new season, in the eyes of the players, it is still more attractive than Sampdoria.
At the ceremony to join AC Milan, Poli said that he has been an AC Milan fan since childhood. One day he can run in San Siro in a red and black jersey, which is his career goal. He will use more sweat to repay the club's trust.
His speech looked at the Sampdoria fans very savage - some Sampdoria fans dug out what Poly said when he joined Inter Milan on loan and posted it online.
At that time, Poly said that being able to wear a blue and black battle robe was a huge honor, and he would give everything for it.
At any mountain, worshiping gods, every time you join the franchise ceremony, you will say that your dream of joining this team seems to have become a routine in professional football. However, this kind of words sounds very unpleasant to the fans of the old club, but who still cares about their thoughts?
Coupled with the scandal between Icardi and Inter Milan, it is another example of a team that would rather play in the European game than leave Sampdoria.
This really made Sampdoria fans feel unhappy.
I was unhappy that the team had all been qualified for the Champions League, so why is it still not attractive enough in the eyes of these players?
