Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 32 Rosella Sensi
After the championship celebrations ended, the prize money was quickly distributed, and the Kaffinburg first team was disbanded, entering a long holiday.

Shan Yongzhuo did not return to China immediately, but instead went to Germany first to discuss matters with Kroos.

"I think we can put Juventus aside," Kroos brought bad news to Shan Yongzhuo.

After a detailed assessment of Shan Yongzhuo, Juventus were not particularly optimistic about his prospects.

They believe that Shan Yongzhuo is a purely opportunistic striker who cannot carry the Juventus banner.

Kroos continued, "They are willing to take you with them, but they prefer to do so by paying a penalty for breach of contract, and they are only willing to offer you a weekly wage of 1 euros."

Dan Yongzhuo nodded, but he was still quite disappointed.

First, the salary of 10,000 euros is far too low. Second, his breach of contract penalty is only 8 million euros. If he leaves in this way, it would be unfair to Kafenberg.

"Alright, since they're not being sincere, let's just forget about it."

Shan Yongzhuo was quite easygoing, thinking it didn't matter if it didn't work out. "So, you didn't call me to Berlin just to talk about this, did you?"

“Of course not.” Cross said meaningfully, “I’m here to introduce you to someone. She’ll be here tomorrow, and I think you’ll be happy to see her.”

"Who?"

"You'll find out tomorrow."

"..."

Kroos had a mysterious air about him, and seemed a bit flamboyant.

Shan Yongzhuo didn't take it to heart. "See you tomorrow then," he thought. "At worst, I'll just postpone my return to China a little."

After saying goodbye to Kroos, Shan Yongzhuo booked a hotel but wasn't really in the mood to go out and explore Berlin, so he simply stayed in the hotel.

The next day, when Shan Yongzhuo, accompanied by Kross, went to a private room in a high-end restaurant, he met this mysterious guest.

This is a mature woman in her forties with a tanned complexion. She has a shrewd and capable look, and is wearing a simple suit. She looks like a strong woman.

"Hello, are you Mrs. Cross?"

Dan Yongzhu greeted him with a smile, but as soon as he asked the question, Kross next to him was speechless.

The woman smiled faintly, not minding, and said in broken German, "Hello, Dan, may I call you that? My name is Rosella, Rosella Sensi."

"Senshi?"

Dan Yongzhuo scratched his head sheepishly, then looked at Kroos with a meaningful expression.

It was as if he was saying: Why did you bring me to see your mistress?
Besides, you really have terrible taste...

Kroos was at a loss with this dim-witted guy under his command, so he could only introduce her with a dark face: "Ms. Sensi is the president of the Rome Club."

Rome?

Dan Yongzhuo was a little confused. He knew about the team, but only that there was a guy named Totti who had held the captain's position for many years.

So, the owner of this team is a woman?
"Finally, I've met you. Seeing you up close, I didn't expect you to be so handsome."

Rosella stared intently at Shan Yongzhuo, seemingly mesmerized.

Dan Yongzhu smiled awkwardly, but of course he accepted all the praise.

Being handsome is just my least noteworthy advantage.

After everyone was seated, Rosella didn't beat around the bush. "I'm sure you know why I'm here. Yes, I want to invite you to join Roma."

Shan Yongzhuo smiled, "I'm not opposed to it, but..."

Shan Yongzhuo didn't say the rest, but instead coughed at Kroos.

Cross pretended not to see it and just quietly drank his coffee.

Rosella smiled and said, "Kroos has already made all your requests. Don't worry, Roma is very sincere in inviting you. We will offer a transfer fee that will satisfy Kafmburg, and we will also provide you with a contract that matches your value." Rosella took a sip of coffee and continued, "Moreover, as you know, Roma will participate in the Europa League next season. Although there will be a playoff round, that is not a problem for Roma."

“Ms. Sensi,” Shan Yongzhuo interrupted Rosella, “what I want to know is, can Roma guarantee me playing time?”

"Single!" Kroos said from the side, "No team can guarantee that. You need to earn your playing time through your performance."

Rossella continued, "Furthermore, our head coach, Mr. Spalletti, greatly admires you. This transfer was strongly recommended to me by him, and I believe you will achieve even greater success in Rome."

Shan Yongzhuo did not rush to agree.

After seeing Rosella off, he discussed things with Cross.

Kroos told Shan Yongzhuo about Roma's offer: "They will offer a transfer fee of 13 million euros, a price that Kafenberg will be very satisfied with. Although Kinnice has some objections, old Fuchs is even eager to send you to Roma."

"As for your contract, they are willing to offer you a contract with a weekly wage of 4.5 euros. More importantly, Roma does not have a proper center forward at all, so they are very sincere in signing you and have high expectations for your performance."

Shan Yongzhuo nodded after listening.

A weekly wage of 4.5 euros, even before tax, is indeed acceptable.

Although he performed exceptionally well in the Austrian Bundesliga last season, he has only played in professional leagues for one year and has never proven himself in a top-tier league.

The fact that Rome was able to offer 13 million euros and provide him with a decent salary already made Shan Yongzhuo very satisfied.

More importantly, Roma will be able to play in the Europa League next season, which is very important.

Furthermore, Roma has lacked a true center forward, a situation that has persisted for several seasons.

Does that mean that if I perform well, I can secure the starting center position?

However, I don't think I can be considered a pure center...

But who cares? I say I'm a center, and I am a center!
Although the specifics are unknown, the fact that Shan Yongzhuo, a self-proclaimed "super casual fan," knows about Roma shows that the team has a certain level of recognition.

"It seems I can't find a reason to refuse?" Shan Yongzhuo smiled.

"I think so."

……

After that, Shan Yongzhuo handed over the rest to Kross, while he himself boarded a plane to the capital.

On the other hand, Rosella was also very happy after receiving news from Kroos.

Last summer, after his father, Sensi Sr., passed away, Rosella lost his pillar and became the club president under immense pressure.

The pressure on a female chairperson is unimaginable.

After a difficult year, Rosella received support from the team's core members, but last season they only finished sixth in Serie A.

This result might be acceptable for Rome, which has undergone tremendous changes.

But Rosella couldn't accept it. She had watched Roma's matches with her father at the Stadio Olimpico since she was a child, and she wanted to lead Roma to success.

Unfortunately, the Sensi family's businesses suffered a huge blow due to the financial crisis. Roma had no money to invest in the transfer market and was already heavily indebted, and might even be forced to sell the team.

This summer, they set their sights on Shan Yongzhuo, who has been shining in the Austrian league, and Menez, a winger who has performed well in Ligue 1.

However, Roma's financial resources were limited, and they could only purchase one player. In the end, Spalletti chose Shan Yongzhuo, who could play as a center forward.
Now that she had received a promise from Shan Yongzhuo, Rosella breathed a sigh of relief.

"I hope he's as good as Luciano says."

"The transfer fee of 13 million has almost exhausted Roma's resources!"

"But this Chinese kid is really handsome..."
