Chapter 3 To sell or not to sell, that is not the question

Zagra Mora could not make the decision about whether to sell Gao Zheng, or he could not take the blame.

So he found the club's chairman Eduardo Garone and placed all the fax documents that the club asked for inquiries on his desk.

"Juventus... Bayern Munich... Arsenal... Liverpool... Chelsea... Manchester City... Atletico Madrid... Real Madrid..."

Eduardo looked over one by one and murmured softly about the famous European football world.

All are wealthy families.

When did Sampdoria's players get involved with so many giant clubs at the same time?

But now these people are indeed coming for Gao Zheng alone.

Zagramora sat next to him without saying anything. He decided not to express any opinions to avoid the crime falling on himself in the future.

Even if the club chairman asks him for his opinion, he says that the chairman only follows the leader.

However, Eduardo did not ask Zagramora this question, in fact, the other party took these things to his side, and he was already very clear about what it meant.

The club has reached a very critical moment. Last season, under Gao Zheng's leadership, the team achieved excellent results, and the Italian Cup and Champions League prizes have indeed eased the club's financial tension.

To be honest, he really couldn't bear to let Gao Zheng leave.

He has become a hero of this team, he unites the players and fans, he is a symbol of Sampdoria, and he can also bring Sampdoria one victory after another.

The team will not be able to participate in the Champions League next season, which is of course a financial loss. However, it is also good to play in the Europa League. Moreover, Eduardo has a sense of confidence that if Gao Zheng continues to stay in the team, Sampdoria should be able to achieve better results in the Europa League.

Even if Gao Zheng stays in the team, their idea of ​​leaving is not that strong.

No matter how you look at it, Gao Zheng should not be let go.

but……

Eduardo looked at the numbers on some fax files, and the strings of zeros made him dizzy.

What is the Italian Cup bonus, what is the Champions League bonus... The money combined is not as good as the transfer fee amount thrown by some wealthy families for Gao Zheng alone.

It's great to have money...

Eduardo Garro sighed in his heart.

Zagramora watched Eduardo repeatedly flirting through the fax documents. From this action, you can guess that the Chairman must be very confused now, but he still didn't speak, silently like a mute.

In fact, if you ask him whether he sells Gao Zheng, he will consider what are the benefits of selling? What are the benefits of not selling?

The benefits of selling are obvious. The club can immediately make a lot of money and save Gao Zheng's salary. Whether it is the transfer fee you get or the salary space you save, it can be used to sign in more players.

Although Gao Zheng was sold, he could make up for many players, and from this point of view, it would not harm the team.

The disadvantages of selling are also obvious. Fans will be very angry and vent their anger on the club. Whoever makes decisions will be scolded.

Another disadvantage is that the team's performance will definitely be affected. Although it has not started next season, Zagramora feels that this is almost certain. Sampdoria, who has Gao Zheng and does not have Gao Zheng, are two different teams. The good results of last season are all based on Gao Zheng. There is a strong evidence that Gao Zheng rotated many times in the league and missed many games, so the team's final ranking in the league would not be satisfactory, and it was finally ranked tenth. If there was not an Italian Cup champion, it would be a waste of money.

So if you want to sell Gao Zheng, you must be mentally prepared, and Sampdoria may be defeated back to its original form.

Although we can use the transfer fee that Gao Zheng has received to introduce more players, none of those players can be compared with Gao Zheng.

Their value may be equal to Gao Zheng, but the positive impact they can bring to the team may not be as good as Gao Zheng alone.

So wouldn’t it be better not to sell Gao Zheng?

That can't be said. Because everyone knows that Sampdoria cannot keep Gao Zheng forever. Gao Zheng signed a four-year contract with the club.

The contract was signed in the first half of 2012. Two years have passed, and the contract has two years left. If Gao Zheng is left for another season, then when the next season ends, Gao Zheng and the team will have only one year left. Even if the club wants to sell Gao Zheng, they may not be able to sell at a high price because the contract has only one year left.

Nowadays, those clubs that are interested in Gao Zheng can wait another year and wait until Gao Zheng and Sampdoria's contract expires before starting. Gao Zheng's agent is probably happy to let the players switch to other teams as free as possible, so that he can get a higher salary for Gao Zheng.

Moreover, until now, Gao Zheng's agent has never talked to the club about renewal. It can be imagined that they do not plan to stay in Sampdoria for too long.

So if Sampdoria Club cannot sell Gao Zheng this summer, it may have lost the best opportunity to sell Gao Zheng and the good opportunity to sell Gao Zheng at a high price.

The player who is destined to leave the team has to think about how to sell him at a high price.

Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages between selling and not selling.

It depends on how Chairman Eduardo Garone was chosen in the end.

※※※

Eduardo Garone was indeed struggling, but he was not struggling with the content that Zagra Mora had struggling with.

What he was considering was whether selling Gao Zheng would reduce Sampdoria's value...

Although he had publicly promised after his father's death that he would not give up the club, the Garone family would always be associated with Sampdoria, and he would inherit his father's mission and strive to bring the team back to its peak.

But in fact, he has been thinking about how to sell the club.

For him, what Sampdoria achieved last season was that the bargaining chips he negotiated to win so many honors certainly can't sell them cheaply.

What he is worried about now is whether it will affect the club's valuation if Gao Zheng is sold.

After all, Gao Zheng is also an important "asset" of the club...

Then he thought of the club's debt problem.

Debt is also a reason why the next company lowers the price.

And if Gao Zheng can be sold, that much money will be a huge help in reducing the club's debt pressure...

Thinking of this, Eduardo Garone finally made a decision in his heart.

He doesn't care whether he will be scolded by Sampdoria fans when selling Gao Zheng, nor does he care about the team's performance after selling Gao Zheng, because he even wants to sell the club Sampdoria.

※※※

I don't know how long it took, Zagramora, who had been silent, felt that it had been a long time. He heard Eduardo Garone sigh: "I think Gao should be very clear. He will not stay in Sampdoria all the time. If he knew that he was so popular in the transfer market and we insisted on keeping him, what would he think? Will he complain that we block his upward space..."

Hearing this, Zagra Mora knew that Mr. Chairman had made a decision, and this decision was to sell Gao Zheng.

He sighed in his heart and finally came.

"...We have always had a very harmonious relationship with Gao. He understands our difficulties, and we cannot ignore his difficulties now. I hope the club and him will eventually get together, rather than become enemies. No matter what, Gao will always be the legend of Sampdoria."

Eduardo looked at Zagramora after he said that.

Zagra Mora nodded: "Okay, I get it. I will tell him the club's decision...but what if he wants to stay?"
