Xue Yang was sitting in the office with a frown. He had just received bad news.
The strong Serie A team Lazio has submitted an offer, hoping to bring in The Hague midfielder Milinkovic-Savic.
This makes Xue Yang very uneasy, although Lazio will not play in Europe next season.
But Lazio is a strong team in Serie A, but they have performed poorly this season.
Lazio is definitely much better than The Hague. Even though The Hague will have the Europa League next season, the attraction of the Europa League is actually just that.
The offer from Lazio reached 8 million euros, which is the same as Milinkovic-Savic's current worth.
How could Xue Yang agree? Milinkovic's current abilities are definitely worth more than this.
Moreover, Milinkovic-Savic is very important to The Hague and will be The Hague's main midfielder next season.
As a midfielder, Milinkovic can attack and defend, and has excellent long-range shots.
Moreover, he is tall and powerful, and his header ability is quite good.
This is a very rare midfielder, and Xue Yang really doesn't want to lose him.
The Hague subsequently rejected Lazio's offer, but Lazio did not give up and raised their offer to 9 million euros.
It can be seen that Lazio is very determined, and they also see the excellence of Milinkovic-Savic.
Moreover, Xue Yang also learned that Lazio attaches great importance to Milinkovic-Savic, and even the club chairman personally contacted the chairman of The Hague.
Xue Yang even felt that they should have contacted Milinkovic-Savic's agent.
So Xue Yang took the initiative to find Milinkovic, hoping that the two parties could communicate.
Let’s see what Milinkovic thinks and try to let Milinkovic stay.
Of course this can only be done over the phone, after all Milinkovic is still on vacation.
"What's wrong? Boss!" Milinkovic asked.
But for some reason, Xue Yang felt that Milinkovic was not surprised.
"I believe you already know that Lazio has made an offer for you." Xue Yang said directly.
Hearing what Xue Yang said, Milinkovic was silent for a moment.
He didn't expect Xue Yang to be so direct, and Lazio had indeed contacted him.
"But the team has rejected their offer. We have the Europa League next season and we need midfielders like you."
Xue Yang said this because he wanted to force Milinkovic-Savic to stay, and he also stated the pros and cons, which was the Europa League.
Although The Hague is not as good as Lazio, it at least has the Europa League.
Milinkovic can definitely play for one more season. Milinkovic will increase his worth before transferring and leaving the team.
In that case, if he joins a new team, his status will definitely be higher.
But Milinkovic obviously didn't think so, and he was even a little angry.
Because in his opinion, Xue Yang was hindering his career.
"I have had a dream since I was a child, that is to prove myself on the Serie A stage," Milinkovic-Savic said.
Although Milinkovic did not say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear.
Milinkovic said it for this reason, and Xue Yang also knew that it was useless to say anything.
This is all about dreams, but I am determined to leave.
"And I didn't adapt well during my time in the Netherlands. I want to go to another environment."
Perhaps because Xue Yang stopped talking, Milinkovic continued to put pressure on Xue Yang.
A few days later, after rejecting Lazio twice in a row, Lazio made a third offer.
This time the transfer fee was increased to 11 million euros, but Xue Yang was still not very satisfied.
The chairman of The Hague also has a headache about this. He knows that Milinkovic-Savic is very important to The Hague, and the head coach Xue Yang also values him very much.
So he asked Xue Yang about his attitude, but this time Xue Yang could only relent.
"Let him go!"
Xue Yang replied helplessly that he really didn't want Milinkovic to transfer.
"But the transfer fee can be mentioned again. The current transfer fee is definitely not allowed." Xue Yang said emphatically.
"I don't want other teams to think that we are a supermarket. We have to tell them that they can buy our players, but they must pay enough!"
Xue Yang is still quite worried about this matter, worried about leaving the team with Milinkovic-Savic's transfer.
All other teams are poaching young players from The Hague. After all, The Hague team is still too young.
Many teams have fallen like this, and Xue Yang doesn't want The Hague to become the next one.
"Since Milinkovic can no longer be retained, I hope the team can complete the signing as soon as possible." Xue Yang explained emphatically.
"Especially Genk's Ndidi, Ndidi is very good."
"If he is trained, Ndidi will be no worse than Milinkovic-Savic."
Xue Yang is not kidding, Endidi is also very good.
And Ndidi is also very easy to use, has good physical fitness and strong defensive ability.
Beast waists like his are so rare that Xue Yang has been coveting them for a long time.
If Ndidi can really be brought in, Milinkovic will also leave.
It's just a pity that the transfer fee is so high that there's no way to sell it at a high price.
The Hague chairman did not expect that Xue Yang valued Ndidi so much, and quickly put Ndidi's signing first.
After that, The Hague and Lazio started a tug-of-war, and buying Milinkovic-Savic for 11 million euros was definitely not going to work.
The Hague changed hands for 20 million euros, and Lazio was not scared away.
What The Hague has done means that Milinkovic-Savic is no longer for sale.
Previously, The Hague directly rejected the offer, which also caused Lazio a headache.
Then the two sides began a tug-of-war, and in the end Lazio was only willing to pay a transfer fee of 15 million euros.
This transfer fee really makes Xue Yang heartbroken. It is really too low.
Milinkovic-Savic is definitely more than this price, but there is no way Milinkovic-Savic is rushing to play in Serie A.
Fortunately, a 20% secondary transfer clause was added, which can be regarded as making up for it a little.
The transfer is considered completed, and now it's time for Lazio to negotiate salary with Milinkovic-Savic.
As for The Hague, they cannot be idle. Since Milinkovic has confirmed to leave the team, they need to prepare for signings.
And Ndidi, who Xue Yang requested, is undoubtedly The Hague's first signing target.
But compared with last season, Ndidi's worth is even higher.
Therefore, Genk's asking price is also very high. After all, Ndidi is Genk's main midfielder this season.
However, the direct asking price of 8 million euros still shocked Xue Yang.
He has only been the main player for one season and he dares to raise the transfer fee so high.
However, there is good news, that is, this time Ndidi has become interested in The Hague.
A large part of the reason is that Xue Yang makes good use of young players.
This made Ndidi develop a good impression of Xue Yang, and Xue Yang forced The Hague from the middle and lower reaches of the Eredivisie to the third place in the Eredivisie.
It can be seen that Xue Yang's coaching level is still acceptable. In the end, the transfer fee was reduced to 6 million euros.
Endidi's transfer was finally negotiated, and Endidi became The Hague's first successful transfer.
