From what i know he did not ask for more money but if the money could be used on an expensive target rather than more less expensive targets, Cardinale is needed to do this because he has signing power for operations that are worth more than 30 million
The document also reports a series of "powers granted with joint signature with the Director Gerald Cardinale JR within the limits of the annual budget approved from time to time by the Board of Directors in relation to acts and/or operations with a unit value between Euro 30,000,000 (thirty million) gross and Euro 100,000,000 (one hundred million) gross and after formal consultation with the Technical Committee established within the company". These powers are:
To negotiate, stipulate, modify, terminate, transfer and/or acquire:
Acquisition or transfer agreements, in the context of sporting activity, in any form, of the rights to the performance of footballers, including those of the youth sector;
Agreements for the definition of the relationship relating to the sporting performance of footballers and agreements with coaches, technicians and talent scouts, agreements relating to scouting activity and the healthcare sector, as well as agreements with sports agents and solicitors.
Under 30 million Furlani can sign alone, over 30 million Cardinale is needed
