The conversation was divided into two teams. After seeing the relegated Fiorentina taking the lead in signings, the teams in Serie A were naturally not to be outdone and were looking for the possibility of a trade to strengthen their lineup.

Since the economic depression in Italy has not yet arrived, the owners of these Serie A clubs during this period have not yet developed the habit of keeping their wallets tight.

If the Italian currency lira develops normally according to history, by the end of 1994, the Italian small and medium-sized teams have never introduced well-known foreign players. From the late 1990s to the end of the 2002 season, only Inter Milan, the owner Mo Da, who was also interested in football, were AC Milan under the rule of Berlusconi, Rome of Senci, Lazio of Cranioti, and Juventus.

As for other teams, they either started to engage in the "human trafficker" business like Udinese, or they started to experience financial crises like Parma and Fiorentina and began to sell off the team's main players, so Serie A began to decline since then... It's off topic.

The topic goes back to the transfer market in 1993. The first move is Enrique Mantovani's Sampdoria. Mantovani, who inherited his father's business, seems to be more enthusiastic about player trading than his father. He first got English player David Prat from Juventus, and then introduced "braid coach" Luther Gulit and Alberigo Evani from AC Milan. The departure of Dutch superstar Gulit also marks the end of the "Three Dutch Musketeers" era in Milan.

After sending Gulit away, AC Milan sent another member of the "Three Musketeers of the Netherlands", "Black Swan", back to his hometown in the Netherlands. Next season, the "Black Swan" will play for his old club, Ajax; at the same time, veteran Carlo Ancelotti announced his retirement as early as the end of the season.

AC Milan, who lost several players, also made many big moves in the market at this time, introducing Lauderup Jr. from Fiorentina and buying Romanian star Laduchou from Brescia. The most important signing was from last season's opponent in the Champions League final. Marseille, which is now in the midst of the counterfeiting case storm, signed Marcel Deselli at an extremely cheap price. He will be used as a supplement to the departure of Rijcalde and Ancelotti.

Although Dutch superstar Van Basten cannot play next season due to injury, AC Milan also has local players such as Rentini, Panucci, Elanho, Marco Simeone. Although the golden defense line consists of Paul Martini, Franco Barreci, Alessandro Costakuta, Mauro Tasotti and Sebastian Rossi is a little old but is still at its peak. AC Milan in the new season is still the most powerful championship contender.

Naples, who had lost too much blood, urgently invited the head coach of Serie A, Marcelo Lippi, and then retained the team captain Cirot Ferrara, rented Dicanho from Juventus, and loaned several players from other teams; promoted some young players from their own youth team; and some players bought from low-price low-end leagues, they pieced together to create a lineup that can play in Serie A.

All of Italy are watching Naples' jokes, and only Zhuang Mingge knows that this Naples played a surprising combat power under the leadership of "Silver Fox" Lippi, and finally ranked sixth in the league and qualified for the next season's UEFA Cup. At the same time, this is also the last glory of Naples in the 20th century.

Juventus, who just won the UEFA Cup championship, did not slow down the speed of signings. Juventus, who has local stars such as Robert Baggio, Viali, Ravanelli, Peruzzi, etc., continued to adhere to the localization strategy. They purchased Dilivio and the future "Zebra Prince" del Pierro from the Serie B Padua, and the team's strength was further improved.

Inter Milan, which has begun to show civil unrest since the disintegration of the "German Trio" and also made a big move. They bought Wim Jonk and Dennis Borgkamp, ​​who is the title of "Ice Prince" from the Dutch Ajax Club. The two came to the Meacha Stadium for a high price of 12 million pounds.

Due to the success of the "Three Dutch Musketeers", Dutch players collectively put a dazzling halo. Therefore, when the "Ice Prince" Borgkamp made his debut at the Meazza Stadium, it caused a sensation in the Italian media. Other transfers seemed to be overshadowed in the face of the sensation caused by Borgkamp.

Although the capital team Roma has poor record in recent years, the Romans have never given up on the idea of ​​competing for the league championship. This summer they bought Argentine scorer Balbo from Udinese.

Roma's city rival Lazio is naturally not to be outdone. He introduced Paul Negro from Brescia, captured Allen Boksic from Marseille, bought Casirac from Juventus, who could not play the main player, and Torino goalkeeper Macegiana also joined Lazio. In addition, the team's original English midfielder Paul Gascoin, the team's strength has been greatly improved.

Parma, controlled by Italian dairy giant Parmalat, is ambitious. He first dug up Gianfranco Zola from Naples, which is in a financial crisis, and forms a forward partner with Colombian scorer Asprila; Argentina's central defender San Sini; at the same time, the team sent off Brazil's goalkeeper Tafarrell and introduced local goalkeeper Butch; Osio, a veteran who has played for the team for many years, went to Brazil to retire, and the whole Parma seemed energetic.

Seeing that the Italian team is doing a big job in the transfer market, teams in other leagues are naturally not to be outdone. Barcelona, ​​which has completed three consecutive La Liga titles, made a big purchase to buy Brazilian scorer "lone wolf" Romario; Real Madrid introduced local central defender Alcota from Athletic Bilbao, and the flames of the battle between the two La Liga players continued from the field to the transfer market. As the third place in La Liga last season, La Coruna introduced 31-year-old veteran Donato from Atletico Madrid (this guy later played for a full ten years and broke the record of the oldest goal in La Liga twice).

In the newly established Premier League field, Manchester United, which won the first Premier League championship, continued to strengthen the team. Ferguson snatched Nottingham Forest's young midfielder Roy Keane from Blackburn with a call;

However, English football has not yet been removed from the five-year impact of being banned from UEFA in the European Cup. Although local fans in England are still enthusiastic, they cannot cover up the desolation of the football market. At that time, almost no foreign players were willing to play football in England.

German clubs have not introduced too many well-known stars because of their general thrift. Only Dortmund has introduced Matthias Summer, who returned from Inter Milan, and Werder Bremen bought Mario Basler from Hertha Berlin. The market is not very prosperous.

From the popularity of the transfer market, it can be seen that European leagues are still led by Serie A.

This is not nonsense. Whether a league is strong often depends on the purchasing power of the team and the number of star players in the entire league. For example, now, although Real Madrid and Barcelona are indeed very strong and have many stars, other teams in the league are not good, turning a La Liga into a "Spanish Super League", and the league is not exciting enough. In the Premier League, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea all have the strength to compete for the championship. Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Everton constitute the second echelon. These teams have the ability to disrupt the situation. If a strong team is not careful, they will capsize in the gutter. Therefore, from the level of the league, La Liga is still not as good as the Premier League.

However, the transfer market has nothing to do with Fiorentina now. After all, Fiorentina's signings this season have been completed, so we will only wait for the summer training camp on July 20 to start running-in.
