2030/31 Pre-Season & Transfer update
Team has handled the loss of our talisman quite well in the pre-season friendlies, but the real test would begin in League & especially in Europe (where Osimhen was electric for us).
Players out:
There were two big outgoings after Osimhen
Renan was a back up option who has not developed as I had expected. The money on offer was too good to refuse and he moves to our major competitor.
I was not sure about letting Jason leave as he was a very solid performer. Bit the financial part of it won the argument and I had a much cheaper replacement lined up who is as good as him as per my scouts.
Players In:
Frederico is a highly rated wonderkid who had a breakout season at Gil Vicente. My center backs are attracting big attention, so he is a solid back up option. He stays back in Portugal for the season.
My replacement squad striker who came at a fraction of my outgoing one. He is highly rated by my scouts and my coaches and they reckon he can improve a bit. The worrying aspect is that he had never established himself at Benfica or impressed when he had gone out on loan. I am taking a gamble by moving on my proven performer, but hopefully I can unlock the lads potential. Otherwise he will be moving on (for a profit I think as his price has doubled after the move).
