Chapter 229 New Candidates

Southampton's luck this season is not very good, which is reflected in the fact that they have a lot of injuries. Once Dun was injured, Southampton could only find another midfielder.

After launching the scouting system to look for him, Ji Ya didn't say much. After all, it's easy to fill such a position, and it doesn't even cost money—it's a big deal to rent for half a season.

Championship players should be happy to come to Southampton like this.

Ji Ya really doesn't have the extra energy to deal with transfer matters now, the next three days will be the game against Sunderland, and he also needs to prepare.

Playing in the Premier League, even if you are playing against a weak team, it is impossible for your strong team to pile up the main force and win. Every game must be well prepared.

Sunderland is currently ranked No.16, and it is also a team fighting for relegation. They have invested a lot of money this summer. They bought forward Fletcher from Wolves and winger Adam Johnson from Manchester City. They also have certain strength. improvement.

However, they were weak overall. Ji Ya continued to rotate, and all the main players from the previous rest returned, but Vidal and Willian were replaced by Schneiderlin and Klose.

In this game, Southampton sent a double-center tactic. This change caught Sunderland by surprise. In the end, it was Benteke and Klose who scored a goal each in the game, helping Southampton win the opponent.

What makes Southampton fans even happier is that Manchester United stopped their winning streak in this round. They were somewhat surprised to draw [-]-[-] away at Swansea, although Manchester City beat the bottom Reading. , Let Southampton continue to rank third, but the points gap with the first has narrowed to six points, which still makes Southampton fans very happy.

They can use a very happy mood to welcome the next Christmas.

After the game, Ji Ya gave the whole club a two-day vacation, and regrouped on the 26th. After all, the players also need to relax for the next continuous battle.

Taking advantage of the fact that the first team had nothing to do, Ji Ya began to look at the signing targets fed back by the scouts, but after reading a few, Ji Ya was not interested, except for the poor statistics, his performance was also average, compared with Wharton , that's far from it.

In Ji Ya's view, either introduce a veteran who is willing to contribute, like Wharton, or simply introduce a young man with potential, so that he can improve even through training, play games from time to time, maybe in the future. Will bring surprises.

Just when he was dissatisfied with several candidates, a document Prost handed over aroused his interest...

After thinking about it, Ji Ya called Prost. He knew that Prost was also an old bachelor, and he would not reunite with his family at this time.

Soon, Prost rushed over and patted the snowflakes on his body after entering the office, looking dusty.

Ji Ya poured him a glass of whiskey, then asked him with a smile: "Why, are you going to the scouting department?"

"The black box system, I will pay attention to young players with potential around the world."

Prost replied, and he took a sip of his whiskey and put it aside.

"I have been paying attention to this guy for a long time. We were not qualified to win him before. After all, this guy played for the Brazilian national team in September 11. At that time, it was rumored that Inter Milan wanted to buy him for 9 million. , We are not qualified to spend so much money on a player." Prost said.

"Indeed, we just returned to the Premier League at that time, and the limited money was used to strengthen our strength. At that time, the immediate combat power of Vidal and William was the most important." Ji Ya nodded.

"It's different now."

Prost waved the document in his hand: "After that, he did not perform well due to injuries, and he also missed the 12 Olympic Games, so now he is regarded as no one cares about him. He has returned to the game in the past half season, and his performance is not bad. But Sao Paulo is a little anxious, but there is only one year left in his contract, if he doesn’t sell it, he will leave freely.”

"It's really a good choice." Ji Ya laughed out loud. Anyway, Southampton still has a lot of liquidity this season. It's cheap, so of course we have to earn it.

"If you can lower the price, lower the price. If you can't lower the price, you can rent it first and then buy it. If the performance is not good, we can return the product." Ji Ya called Frye.

"No problem, leave it to me." Frye is also very interested in this transfer.

One day later, the Southampton club wanted to rent first, and after half a season, the offer to buy out the 20-year-old Brazilian midfielder Carlos Enrique Casemiro was sent to the Sao Paulo chairman's desk.

This offer made the chairman of Sao Paulo a little bit of a headache. It was more than two years ago that he would not have looked at such an offer. You must know that Inter Milan’s offer of 500 million was rejected by Sao Paulo. Woolen cloth?Casemiro is constantly injured, his performance is mediocre, and he lost the Olympic Games. He has performed better in the past half season, and there is only one year left on the contract...

Under such circumstances, having such an offer is considered very good.

"Tell them that we want a loan fee, and at the same time, the buyout fee should be increased. It must be a compulsory buyout." The chairman of Sao Paulo quickly responded.

"It's not too much, just promise them, 50 rental fee, 550 million forced buyout after half a year, a total of 600 million, which is already a lot." Ji Ya gave instructions.

The chairman of Sao Paulo agreed to this clause with a sigh, and he had to agree, who made Casemiro's contract only half a year left?

When Casemiro himself knew the news, he was still very happy. After all, the dream of every South American player is to play in Europe. Although Southampton seems to be not well-known, they recently won the Europa League twice in a row. Casemiro has also heard about the news of the World Cup, and another very important factor is that there are quite a lot of South American players in the Southampton team.

Otamendi, Vidal, William, Ronaldo...

Moreover, Navas can also be regarded as a native of Nagada in the Americas, and they have a common language with each other.

And William is now also a member of the Brazilian national team. He became a Brazilian international in Southampton. With such a big brother as a role model, Casemiro is also quite excited.

So soon, he signed his name on the contract, and then flew to England, to Europe, which he dreamed of.

Although he is not eligible to play until January [-], he is not in a hurry. He knows that he must first adapt to England and then play.

Participating in training before that, adapting to training, is a very important thing.
