Chapter 225 Sky-high transfer! Another Bethwater Chinese! The Middle East Consortium is so arrogant [please subscribe]
In the past few years, the technical and tactical styles of European football have undergone great changes.
Some people say that it was the rise of Yang Cheng and Bethwater Chinese who led this trend.
Because in 2008 and 2009, the Bethwater Chinese successfully defended the Champions League, which brought great shock to the entire European football world and the whole world.
It also led to the transformation of technology and tactics.
Some people also say that Guardiola's Barcelona is the leader in this trend.
Although Guardiola's team has never missed the Champions League, Barcelona's pass and ball control style has also brought strong stimulation to European football, and football insiders also have high evaluations of Guardiola and Barcelona.
All in all, all kinds of statements exist.
Yang Cheng doesn't want to be greedy for merit. Whenever someone mentions this, he always praises Guardiola's Barcelona.
Auctions for the majority of fans and media not to judge heroes by success or failure.
This actually won him more applause.
At least, he seemed particularly generous.
But no matter who led it, in short, after this trend started, the requirements for players, especially those in the midfield and backcourt have also undergone tremendous changes.
The first thing that is to bear the brunt is the central defender's ability to shoot.
Like those traditional central defenders, once they are pressed and pressed, their ability to play will be greatly affected and they will begin to be accepted by the top giants.
The Chinese in Bethwater are undoubtedly the leader of this trend of central defenders.
Whether it is Thiago Silva, Pepe or Kompani, they have excellent ball-holding and shooting skills.
As for the full-backs, a group of excellent Brazilian full-backs led by Alves, Macon and Marcelo are very popular among giant teams.
When all teams choose full-backs, offense has often become a very important basis for consideration.
The traditional defensive type, even some full-backs who are both offensive and defensive, are gradually losing favor.
In this era of comprehensive tactic innovation, the training of youth training will undoubtedly not keep up.
This has led to a very obvious defender shortage in European football in the past few years.
That is, excellent defenders are seriously scarce.
After all, the requirements for defenders are higher.
Traditional guards often only need defense, and offense is a plus.
A full-back like Zanbrotta who has both offense and defense is already very top-notch.
But now?
Defense is the most basic, you must know how to attack, and passing and controlling the ball are a plus.
This leads to a serious scarcity of defenders in the transfer market of top teams.
Last summer, Manchester United and Chelsea spent a lot of money to grab David Louis, which is the best evidence.
Although Manchester United's performance has not improved significantly after David Louis joined, everyone can see that the joining of Brazil's central defender has greatly alleviated Manchester United's defense pressure.
So, this summer, those central defenders with excellent ball-taking ability have begun to become very popular.
For example, Bayern wants to force Manchester City's Jerome Boateng.
But Ancelotti has rejected Bayern very clearly.
Because Lucio is already 33 years old.
Jerome Boateng's talent is visible to the naked eye.
Bayern is indeed a giant, but Manchester City gives a lot of money.
Chelsea is now looking for central defenders all over the world.
Everyone can see that with the investment of the Middle East consortium, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain this summer have very strong purchasing power.
They all quickly improve their strength by acquiring players.
But in this way, it immediately had an impact on the traditional wealthy families.
There are only a few excellent players, and if someone grabs them, then the value will be high.
And, if you take one, you will lose one.
One other thing is that the situation in the past where the giant teams hooked their fingers and players were merging up, which is constantly being rewritten.
For example, last summer, Real Madrid wanted to sign David Silva from Valencia.
David Silva also wants to go to Real Madrid, but Valencia doesn't sell it.
Now, David Silva went to Manchester City, and Real Madrid wanted to seduce and poach, but David Silva didn't want to.
They play well at Manchester City, with a high annual salary and good benefits, so I don’t really care about Real Madrid.
There is also Fabregas.
In Yang Cheng's previous life, Barcelona hooked his fingers, and Fabregas was eager to post it.
Many fans even speculated that in the Champions League round of 16 knockout stages, Barcelona defeated Arsenal 3-1 at home, and then achieved the first goal of home reversal. Is Fabregas a mistake? Or intentional?
Only the players themselves know this.
But all of this did not appear in Yang Cheng's life.
After Arsenal renewed its contract with Fabregas at a high price, the Spanish midfielder stayed at Arsenal, helping the Gunners defeat Barcelona 2-1 in the Champions League final.
Everything is enough to prove that the attractiveness of traditional giant teams is declining sharply.
Especially at the moment when the Premier League is rising strongly.
The battle for outstanding players is getting more and more intense.
In this environment, even teams like Ligue 1 and Nice must quickly find their position in Ligue 1 and European football.
Whether it is Yang Cheng or Nice's senior management, they basically position the club as a springboard.
In the first season after the acquisition, thanks to the outstanding work of Yang Cheng and Beswater Chinese team, Nice helped win the double championship in the Ligue 1 and the French Cup.
This is of course because the current Ligue 1 is really too weak.
But it also did a brilliant job of completing the expected tasks ahead of schedule.
In the next step, if Nice sells the players smoothly, it is naturally necessary to introduce young and powerful players.
By buying and selling, earning the difference in the middle, this is the value of the springboard.
But don't think it's simple.
In fact, there are still many ways and very complicated.
It's like Monaco in Yang Cheng's previous life.
After selling a group of players such as Mbappe, Bernardo Silva and Fabinho in succession, although he received a large transfer fee, he almost relegated from Ligue 1 in the subsequent 18/19 season.
You know, in the 17/18 season, they were still ranked second in Ligue 1.
There are also Saints like the Premier League.
This team also achieved a peak, and after a group of players, it soon became silent again.
After all, the most important ability of a springboard club is reflected in both internal and external levels.
On the outside world, the team needs a strong scouting network that covers the world, can grasp the player's dynamics anytime and anywhere, and try to take the lead in buying at the bottom at a low price as much as possible.
But everyone knows that maintaining such a scouting network requires not only extremely expensive investment, but also very outstanding talents.
Even if it is as strong as Sevilla, that scouting network can only last for a few years.
Internally, a very complete youth training system, advanced training facilities, very meticulous player training planning, and a group of experienced coaches are needed.
Take Ajax as an example, they basically use one-on-one special training to train players, and have detailed plans for the players' career development.
In 2024 when Yang Cheng travels through time, how far can the two or three best spring cricket teams in European football do?
They can even plan the development rhythm of a player in the next few years and the appearance of the first team very early, and also predict which time the player will be sold.
So, fans will be surprised that players from these clubs are always selling at high points.
And no matter how they sell, it will not affect their performance.
Baswater Chinese can do this now if they transfer to player training.
But this requires Yang Cheng to control himself, and it will definitely not achieve the team's current results.
And this is not Yang Cheng's positioning of the Chinese in Bayswater.
Nice does not have such ability yet, but has been working hard in this direction.
Everything is the hardest to get started.
So, Yang Cheng has to push him behind his back.
Not only do you give money and people, but you also need to help you properly.
…
"In terms of player transfers, you will be fully responsible this summer."
Yang Cheng has high hopes for Martin Harrison and Emmanuel Palin.
This is also his always-employed style.
Don't doubt the employer, no doubt the suspect.
He is no longer obsessed with the great people he knew in his previous life.
Because he has a lot of talents under his command.
All talents grow up through exercise. "You try to talk as much as possible. We fully believe in your abilities."
The process on Nice is following the process of Bethwater Chinese. Each position is bound by mutual supervision. The group is responsible for supervision.
"In terms of signings, I will personally provide the support, and the group will definitely do its best to give you support."
After pausing, Yang Cheng thought for a while, "The relegated team of the Ligue 1 team this season, there is a right-back named Sergi Olier, the 18-year-old Côte d'Ivoire, and it should be easy to talk about now."
Lens has been relegated, so it is definitely easy to talk about such a player.
"I know this player is very fast and has excellent physical confrontation." Emmanuel Palin knew Ligue 1 players well and knew who it was at once.
This is also his job as football director. "The Belgrade guerrillas in Serbia have a young central defender named Nastasic, who has a left-footed player. You can go and talk about it." Yang Cheng said again.
Emanuel Perlin's eyes lit up.
He had long heard that Yang Cheng knew all the outstanding players in European football. There were few people who knew many young players who had not even emerged.
But Yang Cheng can always say their names at once.
Whether it is the outside world or the Chinese in Bayswater, the reason behind Yang Cheng's ability to do this is that he has spent so much time watching the game videos and videos in the scout database.
You know, Baswater Chinese scout director Gary Worthington can't do this.
"In the new season, Nice will participate in the Champions League, and it is not enough to have Pelle as a center. Hamburg center Shubo Moting's contract has expired. You can contact him and try to sign him. The annual salary is not high."
"Shubo Motin?" Emmanuel Palin frowned a little.
Is there such a player in Hamburg?
"He is in Hamburg youth training. He is only 22 years old this year. He was loaned to Nuremberg in 2009. He played well, but after returning to Hamburg in 10 years, he never had a chance to play."
"In the first half of this season, he played for Hamburg 10 times, accumulated 375 minutes, and scored 2 goals."
"Because the contract is about to expire, Shubo Moting was unwilling to renew his contract with Hamburg. He was thrown into the cold palace at the end of January and was sent to Hamburg's second team. Therefore, many people who are not in the Bundesliga probably don't know him."
Everyone then suddenly realized.
But then I thought about it, if anyone who is not in the Bundesliga knows him, how did Yang Cheng know it as much as possible?
Not to mention Emmanuel Palin, even Dan Asheworth, Mike Rigg and others who came with Yang Cheng all looked at each other, admiring and ashamed of Yang Cheng.
If you want to say that when it comes to searching for players, they are experts.
But now, in front of Yang Cheng, they are really ashamed of themselves.
There is no way, you must work harder in the future!
In terms of goalkeepers, if Ospina really leaves the team, Nanis will definitely sign another goalkeeper.
The first thing that came to Yang Cheng's mind was Benfica's Slovenian goalkeeper Oblak.
But he quickly abandoned this tempting idea.
As the cost of Aubrak's transfer to Benfica is as high as 4 million euros.
With this one, Nice would not be able to sign him.
"Albacete in the Spanish Second Division has been relegated. This team has a Costa Rica national team main goalkeeper named Kylor Navas. His value should be very cheap, but his strength will definitely be stronger than Ospina."
Yang Cheng initially estimates that it should be around 300,000 euros.
The main reason is that Albacete can't keep anyone at all.
They were relegated from the Spanish Second Division to the third-level league, who would like to play with them?
"He should be following Costa Rica to prepare for the North American Golden Cup, and move quickly," Yang Cheng reminded.
Martin Harrison and Emmanuel Perlin both quickly agreed and said they would contact each other immediately.
In Ronald Koeman's tactics, left-back Daly Blinder must sign.
The Ajax defender joined Nice on loan last season, but the Ligue 1 team has a priority signing right of 1 million euros.
Judging from the performance of this past season, this Ronald Koeman's direct descendant must be signed.
With Olier, Nastasic, Kylor Navas and Shubo Motin, Nice's overall strength is still quite good, even stronger than before.
As for the midfield, if Matuidi leaves the team, Kante will just take the opportunity.
In addition to Stroman, Jorginho and Brozovic, Nice's midfield can still play!
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng had nothing to worry about.
…
The European summer transfer market in 2011 was opened in a way that everyone unexpectedly wanted.
Chelsea coach Hiddink, who has been circulated by the media and fans for a long time, officially signed with the Turkish national team.
This also means that Hiddink will officially leave the position of coach of the Blues.
At the same time, Chelsea also quickly announced that Boas, who had just led Porto to win the triple-champion title in Porto, has officially become Chelsea's new head coach.
The 33-year-old Portuguese, although he was Mourinho's assistant coach, was hailed as Yang Cheng II.
Because both of them are very young.
At the age of 33, Boas became the youngest European Championship coach after Yang Cheng, winning unanimous praise and recognition from the outside world.
This time, Boas came to Stamford Bridge Stadium with his mission.
From Abramovich to players to fans, everyone has high hopes for Boas, hoping that he can lead Chelsea and reproduce the brilliant achievements of Mourinho in that year.
As a Portuguese, Boas also admires Sneider very much. He announced as soon as he took office that he hopes that the club can consider keeping Sneider.
"I firmly believe that Sneider will succeed at Chelsea!"
On the other side, Manchester United, who was salivating at Sneider, immediately jumped the gun head and officially quoted Valencia's Juan Mata in order to make up for the vacancy after Scholes retired.
According to Spanish media reports, the first transfer offer was as high as £25 million.
After Boas officially took office, Chelsea's transfer budget exceeded 100 million pounds.
The Daily Mail close to Chelsea revealed that in Abramovich's signing list, the top ones are Brazil's Santos genius Neymar, Porto center Falcao, and Sporting Lisbon midfielder Moutinho.
In terms of defensive signings, they prioritized signing Ajax's right-back Vanderville.
The central defender is attracted by Atletico Madrid's central defender Godin and the central defender Benatia of Ligue 1.
After Boas took office, Chelsea signed the first player Lukaku, a young center from Anderlecht, Belgium.
The transfer cost Chelsea as much as £20 million.
The Blues also signed talented midfielder Piasson from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The player is hailed as the new Kaka.
In addition, Chelsea also wants to introduce Argentine star Pastore from Palermo.
But there are too many teams targeting Pastore at the moment.
The same operational problems also encountered were Brazil's talented winger Neymar.
Israeli agent Pini Zahavi revealed that Chelsea offered a offer of up to £40 million to Neymar, but still failed to convince Santos to release him.
"This transfer involves a very complex issue, and it is undoubtedly impossible to sign Neymar in a short period of time."
Pini Zahavi said helplessly that Chelsea's transfer signings were set.
At the same time, although Atletico Madrid was in a financial dilemma, it still refused Chelsea's offer of 15 million euros to Godin.
The reason is simple. When Manchester City signed the unknown central defender Stefan Savage from the Serbian Belgrade guerrillas for 12 million pounds, the battle for central defenders in the European football transfer market was completely intensified.
One of the important reasons why Manchester City offered Savage such a high transfer fee is that they snatched Savage from Arsenal and Tottenham.
Before that, Savic had already participated in the trial at Arsenal and performed very well. Wenger may want to sign the Serbian central defender who is known as the new Vidic.
After hearing the news, Tottenham was also very interested in Savage.
But in the end, Manchester City took the lead.
But Blue Moon also paid a high-priced transfer fee of £12 million.
After missing Savage, Arsenal turned around and signed high school defender Mertesak from Bundesliga for 15 million euros, or 12 million pounds of transfer fees.
With the title of Champions League, Wenger has also further begun to increase his recruitment efforts.
The Gunners first signed Spanish midfielder Arteta from Everton for £15 million, and then signed young genius Chamberlain from Southampton for £15 million.
The two players are all trying to strengthen Arsenal's bench thickness.
Especially Arteta.
Espanyol has proved his strength in Everton, and as an organizational midfielder, he can become an important substitute for Gurkuf and Fabregas.
But the most important transfer is that the Gunners are very generous when competing with Barcelona for Udinese's Chilean winger Sanchez.
The two sides continue to increase their quotations in the competition for this player.
Especially after Chelsea and Liverpool also joined the battle circle one after another, Sanchez's transfer price has been rising steadily.
The ended up reaching a surprising £35 million, or €43.75 million.
This is really a sky-high price for a player who has not proved himself in the Champions League.
The Gunners successfully defeated Barcelona and brought Sanchez under their command.
In addition, Wenger also stole Lazio's right-back Lichsteiner from Juventus for 15 million euros, or 12 million pounds transfer fee. After signing several strong players, Wenger's team's strength has improved significantly, but many players in the team have also been sold one after another.
For example, players such as young players Denilson, Carlos Bella, Ebue and Bentner were sold by Wenger one after another.
Through this series of signings, everyone saw the determination of Wenger and Arsenal.
The Gunners obviously want to win the league championship in the new season!
…
As with the same mind as Wenger, Manchester United's Ferguson is also.
After missing Sneider, the Red Devils continued to raise their offer for Juan Mata, and eventually signed Juan Mata from Valencia for 37.5 million euros and 30 million pounds transfer fee.
At the same time, Blackburn defender Phil Jones, who Manchester United has been pursuing, is being contested by Liverpool.
When Manchester United offered a £18 million offer and basically reached an agreement with Blackburn, Liverpool suddenly took action and intercepted the quotation of £22 million.
Ferguson admires Phil Jones very much. He has always liked local players like Phil Jones very much. So under the competition from Liverpool, Manchester United took action again and successfully signed Phil Jones for a transfer fee of 25 million pounds.
Not only that, Ferguson personally went to Phil Jones' home and persuaded the players to join Manchester United.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
For this, the Red Devils offered Phil Jones a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds.
For a 19-year-old player, he offered a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds, which is simply incredible!
Many media have accused Ferguson of having been mocking Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams for breaking industry rules.
But when Manchester United competes for players with others, the weekly salary offered is also not ruthless.
Of course, as a British media, he has always highly praised his own players, so naturally no one will question whether Phil Jones is worth the transfer fee of 25 million pounds and the weekly salary of 80,000 pounds.
After signing Phil Jones, Manchester United signed Spanish goalkeeper De Gea from Atletico Madrid for £25 million.
Phil Jones, Juan Mata and De Gea spent a total of £80 million on three transfers.
It is almost 100 million euros.
You should know that the Red Devils sold Osheim, Obetant, Hargreaves and other players, and their total revenue in the transfer market may be less than 10 million euros.
But this has basically been announced that Manchester United is no longer able to intervene in the transfers between Pastore and Aguero.
Even Ferguson is thinking about the center forward, it is basically unlikely.
After missing Phil Jones and Sanchez, Liverpool immediately transferred their targets and signed local international winger Downing from Aston Villa for £25 million.
Signed midfielder Jordan Henderson from Sunderland for £20 million.
Liverpool's next signing aims at the central defender.
…
Long before the summer transfer market opened, the outside world had already been sure that there are two players who are most likely to become the king in the transfer market this summer.
Palermo's Kaka II, Argentine genius Pastore.
The Argentinian's talent is visible to the naked eye, and he has proved his strength in Serie A, which is the most solid defense.
The other one is Atletico forward Aguero.
These two South American players have shown excellent strength and have proved their strength.
One of the important reasons why they are attracting much attention is that they have received the attention of many giant teams.
For example, Pastore, except for Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan in Serie A, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United in the Premier League, Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, are all staring at this talented midfielder.
Not to mention Aguero.
Real Madrid is determined to win him, and Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are also pursuing him.
Under this situation, the transfer progress of these two stars has always been concerned about many fans and media.
But I never made any favorable progress.
While the major Premier League powerhouses have already started the harvesting mode and are crazy signings, these two most watched players have not been moved for a long time.
But on June 27, Palermo Chairman Zanparini suddenly broke the news in an interview with the media that Pastore will complete the transfer within the next two days, and the transfer fee will be a surprisingly sky-high price.
"This will be an amazing number that has never been seen in the transfer market this year!"
This immediately attracted the enthusiasm of media and fans around the world.
Is it Chelsea? Or Real Madrid?
Are you going to the Premier League? Or go to La Liga?
But just as everyone was speculating, the French team newspaper suddenly broke out with big news.
Among Kaka II's many suitors, Paris Saint-Germain from Ligue 1 emerged and came from behind.
This Ligue 1 team, which was just acquired by the Qatar consortium, defeated all the powerful teams in the Premier League and La Liga for a transfer fee of 50 million euros and signed Pastore from Palermo.
"This is a sky-high price that everyone can't refuse!"
This also made Pastorre surpass Sanchez and become the transfer bidder this summer!
The entire European football world was completely shocked!
When Paris Saint-Germain took over Ligue 1, everyone expected that they would sign ups, but they would never have expected that they would challenge many European giant teams and even snatch a superstar like Pastore from their mouths.
Not to mention the whole of Europe, in France, it caused a violent shock.
Many Ligue 1 fans are applauding Paris Saint-Germain.
However, after Pastore's official announcement, Spanish media also revealed that Atletico Madrid striker Aguero will transfer from Atletico to Manchester City to break Pastore's transfer fee of 55 million euros.
The blue moon once again shocked the whole world!
But this is not the most arrogant.
What is even more shocking is that after Manchester City signed Aguero, they also have 6 attackers in the team, including Ibrahimovic, Adebayo, Robinho, Tevez and Bellamy.
Not to mention the powerful attackers such as Wright Phillips, Kaka, and David Silva.
The resources Ancelotti has in her hands are simply too good!
So, Manchester City began a bold operation, handling Adebayo, Bellamy and other players at a low price.
Yes, literally, low price treatment!
Bellamy transferred to Liverpool freely, and Adebayo joined Tottenham Hotspur for £10 million.
You should know that Adebayo's current market appraisal price has reached £20 million.
I had a fracture directly!
The main reason is that Adebayo has had few games in the past period of time, and the strong teams are basically not at ease to sign him.
In other words, the wealthy Premier League giants are unwilling to pick up this vacancy.
This only found a chance for Tottenham Hotspur.
Daniel Levi was so happy that he could wake up with laughter in his dreams.
But what is more arrogant?
From 2008 to the present, the Abu Dhabi consortium has invested heavily in Manchester City.
Not to mention other inflated sponsorship fees, Manchester City owed Abu Dhabi Consortium 350 million pounds in the financial accounts alone.
So, as the Premier League and UEFA have increased their financial review efforts this season, Manchester City announced with great courage that the debt-to-equity conversion will be reduced directly by zeroing out 350 million pounds of debt.
Compared with such a generous and generous move, Aguero's transfer fee of 55 million euros is really nothing.
...
After Paris Saint-Germain announced the signing of Pastore for 50 million euros, Ligue 1 was shocked.
After acquiring Paris Grande, the Qatar consortium kept waving the checks in its hands.
In addition to Pastore, they also signed Thiago Mota from Inter Milan for a transfer fee of 12 million euros.
Signed midfielder Kevin Garmero from Ligue 1 Lorient for 11 million euros.
There are 8 million euros to sign Mohamed Sissoko from Juventus.
In addition, signing Brazilian central defender Alles from Chelsea, signing Brazilian left-back Maxwell from Barcelona, and signing striker Mene from Roma...
For Paris Saint-Germain, who only ranked fifth in the Ligue 1 last season and did not even get the qualification for the Europa League, only crazy signings can make up for the team's shortcomings in strength to the greatest extent.
After signing Pastore, after a long period of contact and negotiation, the two clubs, Paris Saint-Germain and Nice, announced to the public at the same time.
Former French international, right-back Clake transfers to Paris Saint-Germain for 6 million euros.
At the same time, Paris Saint-Germain also signed main goalkeeper Ospina from Nice and main winger Anthony Munier.
These two transfers cost Paris Saint-Germain in total.
In other words, the three transfers totaled 25 million euros.
French media and fans were shocked by this.
But really surprising transfers follow.
After a long period of negotiations, Paris Saint-Germain announced that it would sign French active midfielder Matuidi from Ligue 1 to Nice at a high price of 35 million euros!
This MVP of the Ligue 1 last season officially joined Paris Saint-Germain.
In this protracted negotiation, the Nice negotiation team led by Martin Harrison and Emmanuel Perlin has always emphasized that Matuidi transferred to Ligue 1 for 20 million euros in 2010.
In addition, the players' outstanding performance last season will definitely exceed this number.
In particular, it should be considered that Matuidi is an active international, which is a plus in Ligue 1.
What the Qatar consortium needs most now is to build a strong lineup as soon as possible to build momentum for the countries behind them and the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
This is also why they first fell in love with Premier League giants Baswater Chinese and Manchester United.
But for various reasons, they finally chose Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.
In this case, they need to create momentum through continuous large-scale signings every year and attract the attention of fans around the world.
At the same time, they also need to please the fans in Paris Grande and France.
The Qatar consortium’s sincerity is to buy Matuidi for 35 million euros!
What's even more outrageous is that after signing four Nice players in a row, Paris Saint-Germain once again reached out to Nice.
This time they are interested in Moroccan central defender Benatia.
Benatia has both nationalities from France and Morocco. In 2010, she joined Nice from the French Ligue 2 team Clermont-Ferrand and became Nice's main central defender, performing very well.
Currently, the assessed price in the German transfer market is 8.5 million euros.
But everyone knows that it is basically impossible to sign Benatia at this price.
Especially when the central defender panic is so serious.
Paris Greater was the first to take action and directly offered a quotation of 10 million euros, obviously trying to get a hole.
The first central defender that Barcelona wanted to introduce was Ajax's Fertonghen, but Barcelona's offer for this central defender was very high.
Fertonheng, whose transfer market evaluates the price of around 15 million euros, directly offered a high price of 30 million euros, which immediately made Barcelona shift its target.
After learning about Paris Saint-Germain's bid, Barcelona followed the offer immediately and gave a quotation of 13 million euros.
Chelsea immediately raised the price, with the offer reaching 15 million euros.
Paris Saint-Germain quickly followed up on Chelsea's offer and also gave 15 million euros.
But just when everyone thought that the appraisal price of 8.5 million euros was already very good to sell 15 million euros, Liverpool suddenly made a squad and raised the quotation to 18 million euros again.
Chelsea also quickly added a quotation, reaching 20 million euros.
This summer, it is not the first time that such a transfer has been made.
From Sanchez to Aguero to Pastore, this is basically the case with all the sought-after players.
The value was snatched up by this group of giant teams one by one.
Just when everyone felt that the transfer was basically settled, even Martin Harrison was ready to agree to Chelsea's offer, a news suddenly came from the Spanish media.
Guardiola officially notified Barcelona management that he hoped the team would sign Benatia.
"Guardiola believes that the Moroccan international is the best candidate to alleviate the Barcelona defense crisis. He not only has excellent foot skills, but also has superb passing, but also has excellent physical confrontation."
Daily Sports Daily broke the news.
This also quickly aroused the alertness of Nice's management and delayed replying to Chelsea's transfer application.
In less than half a day, Barcelona once again made a higher offer, reaching 25 million euros.
Guardiola is determined to win against Benatia!
Especially in the current European football world, there are too few excellent central defenders.
Even if Benatia is just making a name for herself, even if she has performed well for one season, this is enough.
What's more, Catalan media revealed that Guardiola had called Ronald Koeman in private to inquire about Benatia's situation and confirm that the Moroccan central defender is the player needed by Barcelona.
When Barcelona was determined to win, everyone ignored that the team behind Chelsea's transfer decision was also from the Netherlands.
Chelsea also knows Benatia's strength very well.
The Blues raised their quotation again to 30 million euros!
After giving this offer, Chelsea also revealed the news to the public through its agent Pini Zahavi. "This will be Chelsea's last offer!"
Coincidentally, Barcelona and Liverpool also followed up quickly and also gave a quotation of 30 million euros.
Nice didn't say anything, and agreed to these three quotations and asked them to negotiate with the players themselves.
According to French media reports, Barcelona and Liverpool did not have a smooth contact with Benatia and his agent.
On the contrary, Chelsea lost the battle for David Luis before, but now he is forced to send Alice away, which makes the Blues very eager to introduce a high-level central defender.
So, the treatment conditions they offer are more generous.
In the end, Benatia successfully transferred to Chelsea for 30 million euros.
This is also another strong aid signed by Chelsea after Lukaku, Piason and Romeu.
What's more interesting is that after Chelsea lost consecutive battles between stars such as Sanchez, Aguero, Pastore, etc., he finally stood out this time, defeated Barcelona severely and won Benatia.
After signing Benatia, Chelsea turned around and signed Dutch right-back Van der Welter from Ajax for another 30 million euros.
This is a shocking sky-high transfer!
All £25.6 million!
Everyone was dumbfounded when he heard this news.
A Dutch full-back actually sold such a crazy sky-high price!
No one knows who made this decision in Chelsea.
Dutch media revealed that Van der Welter has attracted the attention of many giants including Arsenal and Manchester United.
Before signing with Chelsea, he went to London to negotiate with Chelsea himself.
The reason for the leak was that the player posted his air ticket to London on Twitter, which attracted strong attention from media reporters.
In addition, Chelsea signed Uruguayan left-back Alvaro Pereira from Porto for £20 million.
The 30-year-old England international Ashley Cole has had a lot of ups and downs since his divorce.
After Boas took over Chelsea, he strongly recommended the Blues to sign his favorite player.
From Benatia to Van der Virgin to Alvaro Pereira, Chelsea spent a total of £68m to reshape a younger, more dynamic back line.
This has undoubtedly attracted strong attention from the entire European football world.
When everyone was immersed in the continuous big-time efforts of a group of rich people such as Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Manchester City, Nice also took continuous moves in the transfer market without anyone paying attention.
The Ligue 1 champion first signed Shubo Moting in a free transfer from Hamburg.
Then he relegated from the Spanish Second Division team Albacete to sign Kylor Navas for 300,000 euros.
By the way, Ronald Koeman was not very interested in Kylor Navas and thought he was too short.
Shortly after the transfer was completed, Navas shone in the North American Golden Cup and performed well.
This completely changed Ronald Coman.
The Dutch also had to re-understand the scouting system of the Bethwater Chinese.
It is impossible to accurately dig out Kylor Navas without a super scouting system without a super scouting system.
After selling Clake, Nice relegated from the Ligue 1 team Lons to sign Serge Olier for 1 million euros.
Then he signed Nastasic from Belgrade for 2 million euros.
Since Yang Cheng signed Modric that year, he has also signed a group of players from Eastern Europe such as Matic and Dzeko in recent years, which has enabled the Chinese in Beswater to have great influence and channel relationships in countries and regions such as Croatia and Serbia.
This time, Nastasic signed a contract with him was snatched from Serie A Florence.
Purple Lily also offered 2 million euros, hoping to take Vidic II away, but the Belgrade guerrillas refused to agree and demanded 2.5 million euros.
But when the Beswater Chinese scouts in the Balkans took Emmanuel Palin to negotiate, the 2 million euros were successfully negotiated.
Sold 5 main players and Ligue 1 MVP, earning 90 million euros in transfer fees.
But in the transfer market, Nice only invested 3.3 million euros.
In terms of transfer income, French Ligue 1 is not the club with the most.
Squads like Atletico Madrid in La Liga and Genoa in Serie A have sold off many players and their transfer income has exceeded Nice.
But Atletico Madrid also invested a lot in the transfer market, including Falcao with 40 million euros and Tulan with 12 million euros.
Genoa's investment is not as good as Atletico Madrid, but it has introduced 19 players and spent more than 20 million euros.
Like Nice, the transfer income is huge, but the investment is only so small, it is easy to remind people of the team behind them.
This is simply another Bethwater Chinese!
But without Yang Cheng, what should we use to fight Paris Saint-Germain in the new season?
Some French media even believe that the Chinese consortium in Nice is simply leaving if they want to make a fortune.
In the transfer income of 90 million euros, the down payment alone is enough to undertake the construction of a new training base in Nice and the investment in new government-led stadium projects.
Emmanuel Perlin said that although the team sold 5 players, the team is still full of confidence. "Our goal in the new season is still to hope to win the Ligue 1 championship!" But the French media and many fans sneered at this.
Ligue 1 is a bit bad, but since Paris Saint-Germain has entered the game, Nice still wants to win the championship with just this little investment?
And in the Premier League, there is another special team.
While Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have all increased their signing efforts, the Beswater Chinese did not enter the transfer market.
Barcelona failed to sign Fabregas. After Liverpool's signing with Pastore was hit, they all filed transfer applications for Rakitic, with the highest offer reaching 40 million euros.
However, all of them were rejected by Yang Cheng.
The club first notified Rakitic's agent according to the rules. The two giant teams issued quotations and were rejected. At the same time, they invited the agent to negotiate the renewal.
But things didn't go so well.
