Chapter 232: Chapter 232

Within the Inter Milan squad, the two main strikers are experiencing contrasting emotions—one is delighted while the other is troubled.

Icardi, who secured the Serie A Golden Boot early on, found himself excluded from Inter Milan’s match squad due to a training strike, all under the guise of technical reasons, leaving him unable to represent Inter Milan for several games. His dreams of competing with Messi and C Luo for the European Golden Boot now seem shattered.

According to Wanda, Icardi’s wife and agent, she speculated that Inter Milan’s performance might decline without Icardi on the field.

At that point, they might have no choice but to compromise or even come begging back to them~

But what Wanda didn’t expect was that the young replacement for Icardi, Bonazzoli, was becoming more and more courageous on the field!

In the Coppa Italia final against Juventus, the young Bonazzoli even secured a penalty against the experienced Buffon.

Inter Milan not only chased Napoli closely in the league but also defeated the formidable Juventus, winning the Coppa Italia and shattering Juventus’s treble dream mid-season!

If Icardi was previously anxious, now he feels a bit like his heart is dead inside.

For the first time, he felt up close that his position in the team might not be as irreplaceable as he once thought.

"Things seem to be getting worse..."

Perhaps it’s because of Tang Long’s incredible ability, where various strikers, through his play, appear god-like;

Or perhaps it’s because the whole Inter squad has become more united and cohesive since Icardi’s exit.

In any case, Icardi felt that this Inter Milan seemed capable of performing well without him.

More importantly, they could continue to win games!

"Honey, what exactly should we do now? I’m a bit confused!"

"Any news from Juventus?"

Icardi, while grudgingly flipping through photos of Tang Long holding the Coppa Italia trophy aloft, urgently asked Wanda.

"Oh dear, I’m reaching out, don’t worry, rest assured, there’s nothing your wife can’t handle."

Wanda gave Icardi a kiss and casually brushed over the topic with one sentence.

In fact, Wanda didn’t actually want her husband to go to Juventus, and she hadn’t contacted Juventus privately at all!

For Wanda, the ideal future place to live was in Paris, France.

Milan is the fashion capital of Europe; here, she could shop with many close friends and watch fashion weeks, living it up every day~

Juventus is in Turin, which is a typical industrial city with grayish buildings along the streets. What’s there to go for?

Wanda thought if she were to leave Milan, the ideal destination would be Paris, another city renowned for fashion!

In fact, Wanda had been privately contacting Paris Saint-Germain, with the idea of moving her husband Icardi to Ligue 1.

Although Ligue 1 is not as competitive as Serie A, moving from Serie A to Paris would surely reduce Icardi’s exposure significantly.

In 2015, although Paris had been injected with Middle Eastern capital, they were far from other European giants in terms of strength.

In terms of career planning, if Icardi moved from Inter Milan to Juventus, it could be seen as a step up.

But moving to Paris from Inter undoubtedly would be a significant setback in his career.

After all, Serie A, despite its decline, is still one of the traditional European top four leagues, whereas how many people watch Ligue 1 outside of France?

But none of this was in Wanda’s consideration.

From the start, she left her previous partner Lopez to be with Icardi, intending to rake in more profits from this promising young talent.

Men conquer the world through their achievements, while women conquer the world through conquering men—this saying holds true worldwide.

Wanda had already hooked up with Paris’s sports director in advance.

He had privately promised her: If she could facilitate Icardi’s move to Paris Saint-Germain, his salary would increase from 3.5 million euros net at Inter Milan to 7 million euros!

And once the contract was signed, Paris would also give Wanda a 5 million euro commission bonus as an agent.

This is why many players choose family members as their agents, to keep the profits from spilling outside.

Would the money-loving Wanda refuse such a lucrative offer?

For a woman obsessed with wealth, the answer is undoubtedly no,

just like a heartbroken Inter legend Materazzi, who angrily vented on social media, calling Wanda a "bane, you’re single-handedly ruining Icardi’s career!"

Meanwhile, for another striker, Bonazzoli, the wheels of fate are slowly turning!

With the help of Tang Long behind him, Bonazzoli achieved his career-best statistics.

He has already scored 8 goals for Inter Milan, including two hat-tricks!

Before this season started, he never imagined he’d perform so outstandingly.

Bear in mind, all these 8 goals were scored in the second half of the season, after Tang Long was promoted from the youth team to the first team, allowing Bonazzoli to find the net.

Before Tang Long’s promotion to the first team, he only appeared in 8 first-team games, scoring no goals and making no assists—a typical double-zero striker~

In his diary, Bonazzoli once wrote these deeply emotional words:
