Chapter 900: Blockbuster Transfer

Although the transfer window has not yet officially opened, the transfer action of various clubs has already begun.

In the summer, apart from the Confederations Cup news, the most talked about are various transfer rumors.

Kaka's decision to move to Real Madrid is just one of the most important of all.

Real Madrid, in order to defeat the arrogance of Barcelona to win the treble, announced the introduction of Kaka.

But their operation is not over.

It's just that how can Kaka compete with Barcelona's Dream Three?

Soon, Real Madrid announced another shocking news - Manchester United's number one star Cristiano Ronaldo will transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid for 80 million pounds!

The farce of Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer rumors, which has been around for a whole year, has finally come to an end.

Real Madrid snatched love from Manchester United for £80 million!

Eighty million pounds!

This transfer fee figure is exactly the same as when Glory moved from Bayern Munich to Manchester City a year ago!

If the transfer fee is all in pounds, then Cristiano Ronaldo will be tied with Glory for the most expensive player in the world.

But if it's written in euros...... Because the pound has continued to depreciate over the past year, the 80 million pounds is equivalent to only 94 million euros...... It is 10 million euros less than the 100.4 million euros that Glory had at the beginning.

If it is in euros, then Rongguang is still the most expensive player in the world, and Cristiano Ronaldo surpasses Zidane to rank the second most expensive player in the world.

Two blockbuster transfer news in a row has completely ignited the attention of the media and fans.

Real Madrid has been terrible this season, bringing in two world-class players in one go!

When Kaka transferred to Real Madrid for 65 million euros before, many people thought it was terrible, but they didn't expect that another 94 million Cristiano Ronaldo would come next, and then contact the glory of last year's 100 million euros......

Today's transfer market is really incomprehensible - while talking about the impression that European football is suffering from the subprime mortgage crisis, club revenues have plummeted, and the value of players has shrunk, and on the other hand, there has been a series of terrible news of large transfer transactions......

And the most depressing is probably Barcelona.

Barcelona had won the treble, which was a great result, but they were not happy for a month, and the media was overwhelmed by the news that Real Madrid had brought in Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo......

Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid is also a heavy blow to Manchester United, although he brought a transfer fee of 94 million euros to Manchester United, but with this money, Ferguson cannot buy a player on the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo.

But why would Manchester United sell the Portuguese anyway?

On the one hand, it is natural that Real Madrid's offer is too high, second only to the transfer fee offer of glory, and even Ferguson is difficult to refuse.

On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo insisted on going to Real Madrid, and Ferguson had talked to him, but to no avail.

The twisted melon is not sweet, so that the Portuguese will continue to stay at Manchester United, and he is also in Cao Ying's heart in Han. Ferguson understands this, so he didn't force Cristiano Ronaldo to stay, but let him go to the team he wanted to go to and wish him the best of luck.

The two sides parted peacefully.

Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United, and some media commented that he was afraid of glory......

“…… The Portuguese knows very well that if he continues to stay at Manchester United, as long as Manchester City is still successful, then he will still be his underdog. The two are in the same city, but Cristiano Ronaldo has always lived in the shadow of glory. Only when he jumps out of the Premier League and goes to Real Madrid will there be a way out...... That's why he chose to leave Manchester United, and although it would come across as a fearful head-to-head confrontation, at Real Madrid he could be the number one star......"

This assessment naturally upset Cristiano Ronaldo, and his agent Mendes came out to criticize this statement.

"He [Cristiano Ronaldo] is never afraid of any challenge, if he has been proud in the Premier League, then Real Madrid, Messi in La Liga...... He loves a challenge and he goes to Real Madrid only because he has loved Real Madrid since he was a child and Real Madrid has been able to give him so much more......"

When Kaka transferred to Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo also left Manchester United and switched to Real Madrid, everyone wanted to hear what Glory had to say about these two things.

But they ran into a problem — no one knew where Rong Guang had gone this summer, after he had finished his trip to China......

It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth, and when all the lively transfer rumours were raging, he was completely out of the way, as if none of these things had anything to do with him.

A reporter called Debola, hoping to interview Glory. The reply given by Debora was always Rongguang, and it was inconvenient to be interviewed now.

A reporter asked Debora where her glory was and what she was doing, and Debora's answer was also non-commentable.

This made the journalists very helpless.

With his glorious temper, if he didn't want to be interviewed, no one would be able to catch him.

Since Rongguang didn't take the initiative to show up, the reporter went to him.

Where will the glory be?

They eventually targeted the training camp on the island of Mallorca.

The training camp that Rongguang spent a lot of money to build at the beginning, after that media exposure, it was quiet.

Even the news of its completion was not seen in the media.

Such a low-key place was really ignored by the media at the beginning.

But when the reporters thought about the fact that Rong Guang had used his vacation time to train himself before he was injured...... This led to the question of whether he would be there.

A Spanish reporter went to find out what was going on.

When they found the camp, they found that the gate was closed and no one was in or out.

They stayed there for two days, and the gate was never opened......

It doesn't look like Glory is like here......

Then it's strange, where will the glory go?

A group of people was puzzled.

※※※

The European transfer market is in full swing, and Manchester City, as a club with deep pockets and no shortage of money at all, is naturally not far behind.

Although there are no heavyweight transfers, there are also frequent transfer activities.

Not long after the league ended, Rafael Benitez finalised the transfer of Gareth Barry.

That's right, it's Gareth Barry who provoked him before his first Premier League game. He ended up staying at Aston Villa last season, but O'Neill promised him a maximum of one more season.

It's just that after a season, Liverpool are no longer interested in him.

Benitez has taken a fancy to Barry's balanced midfield, especially defensively.

So they took him under their command.

As for the feud between him and Glory......

Rongguang probably forgot about the opponent who once said that he would say hello to him.

Barry must be a little embarrassed to see glory again, but in the face of generous treatment, such an embarrassment is not a problem.

So in the end, Barry came to Manchester City.

Besides, not only do you earn more money at Manchester City than you do at Aston Villa, but you also have the opportunity to participate in the Champions League, so why not?

After buying Bari, Benitez has strengthened City's weak backline.

Last season, Manchester City's backline was actually very incomplete, and Mark Hughes didn't have any mature team building ideas at all, and completely listened to the club's top management in transfers.

If it weren't for Sun Hai's cousin in the second half of the season, who served as the team's main left-back, I am afraid that it would not be so easy for Manchester City to win the top four in the league.

But even so, in terms of defending on the left side, Benitez is not satisfied with Sun Hai's appearance. Sun Hai is working hard, but he is old after all, he is almost thirty-two years old, and Asian players are over thirty years old, and his body is declining very quickly, and it is difficult to adapt to the high-intensity Premier League. In the second half of last season, he really gritted his teeth and persevered. But diligence can't make up for a qiē.

If Manchester City still wants to make a difference in the Champions League next season, they will definitely not be able to rely on Sun Hai in the left side of the defense. He can be a very good substitute, but he can't play the main team.

So find a successor for Sun Hai.

Rafa Benitez has his sights set on Everton's left-back Leighton Barnes.

The left-back can already be considered the best England left-back since Ashley Cole.

He wants to get the left-back.

However, the transfer talks with Everton have been difficult.

At first, Everton did not talk to Manchester City at all, refusing to accept an offer from Barnes.

After all, if Manchester City is allowed to dig up, it will not only weaken its own strength, but also enhance Manchester City's strength.

David Moyes sees Manchester City as a direct rival to Everton.

He thinks Manchester City should be in direct competition with Everton in the next two or three seasons, which means he doesn't think City still have the ability to challenge for the title.

Therefore, selling his main defender to Manchester City is to raise tigers.

But Manchester City have a special trick up the sleeve of persuasion.

That's to keep increasing the price, increasing the price, and increasing the price!

Until the opponent can't stand it.

It's like a person doing business with another person, the other party doesn't sell, he doesn't do any persuasion or bargaining, he just takes out a stack of money from his bag and slaps it on the table, silently patting the money, and keeps patting the money.

In the end, the other party was frightened.

That's the case with Everton and Manchester City.

Moyes just refused, and Manchester City just had to add money.

Eventually, Everton's club hierarchy stepped in.

25 million ...... Pound sterling!

Everton's top management didn't expect that a mere left-back could buy such an expensive price, and Manchester City really moved the good Kaizi of England......

When the club's hierarchy intervened in the deal, there was no room for Moyes to speak at the table.

Everton have agreed to a £25 million transfer offer from Manchester City.

In this way, Manchester City FC was qualified to negotiate with Barnes.

The next question is to attack Barnes himself.

Why do you say tackle tough problems?

Because as early as when Manchester City and Everton were in transfer negotiations, some media exposed this matter.

Everybody knows Manchester City are going to buy Barnes.

Everton fans are very much against selling Barnes.

So what does Barnes himself think about this?

'I'm not going to leave Everton, there are supportive fans here and I'm happy to stay here...... Although we did not qualify for Europe, I believe that with our efforts, we will be able to ...... next season."

Barnes himself is not interested in a move to Manchester City.

That's what he said, and that's what he did.

When Manchester City were qualified to negotiate with the player, Benitez went to Barnes, only to be rejected by Barnes.

At this time, Benitez began to work as Barnes' agent repeatedly.

Finally got a chance to talk to Barnes, not about the contract, but about the transfer.

Benitez is going to persuade Barnes to join Manchester City in person.

Because Barnes is a very important person to Benitez.

In the left-back position, Sun Hai absolutely can't hold on, and Barry is his absolute main force at left-back.

And after Barnes arrives, there is also the benefit of increasing the proportion of English players in Manchester City's "international legion", which is very important.

UEFA is already looking at implementing a policy on the proportion of homegrown players in European teams' squads.

Barnes is an English homegrown player, even if it is expensive.

In fact, it is to buy a household registration book.

In this interview, Benitez gave Barnes a picture of what he envisions as Manchester City.

Manchester City, for example, can play in the Champions League, but Manchester City's goal is not to say that they will go to the Champions League and go badly. Manchester City are hoping to make a difference in the Champions League - with a player like Glory, with so much money and such good conditions, it would be too unproductive to just think about trying to reach the last 16 of the Champions League......

In addition, Benitez told Barnes that you want to stay at Everton, but Everton doesn't want to keep you.

Look at the choices they make in the face of money.

If Everton really want to keep you, then they should not sell it no matter how much Manchester City pays, just like Manchester City will never sell Glory, no matter how terrible the other teams give Glory.

But what about Everton?

Twenty-five million pounds, and they bowed their heads.

The previous stubbornness looked more like a joke.

So it's really good for you to stay in such a team?

It can be said that this last remark moved Barnes.

That's true, Everton were very tough against Manchester City's attack at first, so he himself was full of confidence and said that in an interview.

In the end, the news came that Everton had agreed to Manchester City's offer, which made him feel like he had been betrayed by Everton.

As soon as he expressed his heart, Everton abandoned him!

It doesn't feel good.

Now that Benitez said that, that feeling came back again.

It was like eating a fly, which made him a little sick and annoyed.

When Benitez saw Barnes fall silent, he knew that what he had said had worked.

But he didn't continue to strike while the iron was hot, because he was afraid of using too much force at this time, so he just clicked until he did.

So he took his leave, and before leaving, he told Barnes that he was welcome to call him at any time if he had thought about it.

Not long after Benitez returned to Manchester, he received a call from Barnes' agent.

'Leyton are willing to talk to Manchester City about his personal contract, but I made it clear up front that even if he is willing to talk to you about his contract, if the terms of the contract don't satisfy him, he will still choose to stay at Everton.'

"Of course." Benitez said this with a victor's smile on his face.

In his opinion, Barnes has already been taken.

Are there any players in this world who can't be met by Manchester City?
