N-A-A Chapter 200
Chapter 200
Many people feel that Manchester City has begun to act unjustly again!
Originally, before the start of the season, Manchester City did not invest wildly in the transfer market.
The referrals are all very targeted and planned.
In particular, Xu Ning was brought in without spending sky-high transfer fees.
At that time, Manchester City was considered to be the best transfer operation among almost all the big teams.
But who would have thought that half a season had passed, and the local tyrant atmosphere that Manchester City had converged would be so unscrupulous again.
A striker who has just emerged in the Bundesliga actually spent 25 million euros to buy it, this is not the big head?
Is it so capricious if you have money?
But before everyone's discussion of this transfer is over, Manchester City actually made another big move!
This time, it is a potential dig within the Premier League.
Manchester City have a fancy to Chelsea's youngster Kevin De Bruyne!
Compared with the rapid introduction of Firmino's operation, this time Manchester City brought in De Bruyne, but it really took a lot of effort!
In fact, before the winter transfer window opened, Bundesliga club Wolfsburg had already started talks with Chelsea against De Bruyne.
Even the two sides have reached a general agreement, a fixed transfer fee of 20 million euros + a floating clause of 5 million euros, only some details have not been perfected.
You know, De Bruyne is not in Mourinho's plan at all, and to be able to sell for such a price, Chelsea have already earned.
After all, when Chelsea brought in De Bruyne two years ago, they paid only 9 million euros.
But at this time, Manchester City suddenly intervened in the transfer of De Bruyne.
The first offer reached €25 million, more than the price negotiated between Chelsea and Wolfsburg.
Don't look at Wolfsburg's clause is a fixed transfer fee of 20 million plus a floating clause of 5 million, but many times the floating clause is difficult to achieve.
All of a sudden, Wolfsburg was in a hurry, but raising the offer was not what they wanted, and they could only keep talking to Chelsea about the spirit of the contract.
But after all, there is no formal agreement, which is not at all key to Chelsea's consideration.
In fact, Jose Mourinho, who has some say in the transfer operation, is very reluctant to sell De Bruyne to Manchester City.
Although De Bruyne did not fit his founding philosophy, he did not deny De Bruyne's talent and ability.
If De Bruyne goes to Manchester City, it is likely to give Manchester City a big boost.
Even if Chelsea no longer have the strength to compete with Manchester City this season, it does not prevent Mourinho from wanting to make a difference in the Premier League next season.
At this time, enhancing Manchester City's strength is not equivalent to reducing Chelsea's competitiveness!
After some arguments, Chelsea CEO Granovskaya was persuaded by Jose Mourinho to reject City's offer.
However, Manchester City, who were rejected, did not give up and a new offer was immediately put on the desk of the Chelsea CEO.
30 million fixed transfer fee + 4 million floating clause.
All of a sudden, the Chelsea CEO had no way to refuse!
If it's only a few million euros, then she's willing to believe Jose Mourinho's claim not to sell players to direct rivals.
But now the gap of 10 million euros, it is impossible to use this excuse.
Even Mourinho can't say no!
The rest is for City to convince De Bruyne himself.
Kevin De Bruyne is not averse to joining Manchester City.
Although he knows that he may not be an absolute workhorse at Manchester City, and even has to rotate many times.
But when he thought of what happened to him at Chelsea, fleeing Chelsea was De Bruyne's only thought.
You know, half a season on, he has only made three substitute appearances at Chelsea!
Absolute fringe player!
Compared to Wolfsburg, Schünin's appointment to De Bruyne has also become a decisive factor for the Belgian to join Manchester City.
Who wouldn't want to play with the first man in world football?
As a result, the transfer deal was completed quickly.
When De Bruyne took a photo with Pellegrini holding up a Manchester City shirt in the press release, the reporters' magnesium lights simply flashed.
Another blockbuster transfer!
Although the players may not be very well-known, the transfer fee is really high!
Even if you don't consider the additional clauses, it is a real 30 million euros of real money!
In this era, there seems to be an unwritten common understanding in football.
The transfer fee exceeded 30 million euros to achieve a real blockbuster transfer.
Unexpectedly, a player who is completely out of the air and has only made three substitute appearances at Chelsea for half a season has incredibly reached this value.
Add in Firmino's €25 million before.
Is Manchester City properly going to carry out the wrongful acts to the end?
However, Manchester City still did not stop their own signings.
The midfield signings are in place, but there are more options for the central defenders.
Pellegrini has taken a fancy to Belgian player Alder Vererede, who has performed well at Atletico this season, and is a proper instant fighter.
However, Atletico are now in the title race and may not easily sell the team's stable squad.
In addition, Xu Ning also recommended several central defenders to Pellegrini, but more for the future, rather than the immediate combat power of Alderweireld.
Van Dijk, Rudiger, Stones.
As long as these three players take down, the core of the rear will not have much to worry about in the next decade.
As for who to choose, it mainly depends on the operation of the club.
Although Xu Ning did not pay special attention, he still learned some progress from the operation of the club.
Atletico marked Alderweireld as not for sale.
Even Manchester City's offer of 15 million euros has not moved Atletico.
You know, half a season ago, the Belgian defender joined Atletico Madrid for a transfer fee of only 7 million euros.
Manchester City then switched targets and launched an attack on the three targets recommended by Xu Ning.
Unexpectedly, the follow-up was unusually smooth.
The Celtics didn't bargain at all, agreeing to City's €10 million offer and agreeing to sell Van Dijk to Manchester City.
Subsequently, Stuttgart also agreed to Manchester City's €8 million offer for Antonio Rudiger, releasing the German centre-back.
Probably Manchester City did not expect that the recruitment of central defenders would be so smooth!
Originally, the goal was to choose one of the three, but now I buy two directly at once.
As for the rest of Stones, that's all it takes.
After all, the team can't hoard so many central defenders, and it's still the same age, which is simply a violent thing.
Xu Ning was a little confused, feeling that he helped Manchester City pick up a big leak!
After all, Van Dijk and Rudiger are more confident than anyone else about what heights they can reach in the future.
It's just that this time Manchester City's central defender position is really too bloated!
Xu Ning estimates that when Demichelis returns, Lescot, whose form has declined significantly, may become a victim of Manchester City's old and new alternation.
