Football: Banned for life, forced to travel to Europe

Chapter 687 Arms Race

Andrea was very busy with the "toro9" affairs, and the whole person was quite emaciated.

Wish made a few words of persuasion casually, but Andrea didn't appreciate it at all, and wished to let him go.

In fact, it's normal. From Andrea's perspective, wishing has been mixed up to this point today, and there are not many places to rely on him. Now he is following the wish to eat...

In the past two years, Andrea's company has signed many big-name stars, such as Salah and Willian. Before this level of players, he could not get sidelined, and it was all for the sake of wishing.

That's why he is so busy working on the wishing clothing brand, he wants to reflect his own value...

On the other side, the reporters have been content to hype the news that "toro9" is in short supply for several days, and those transfer rumors in European football have finally begun to emerge.

Manchester City fired the first shot of the transfer. According to people familiar with the matter, Guardiola admires Schalke 04's 20-year-old German winger Sane very much and wants to bring him to the Etihad Stadium.

For this reason, the local tycoon in the Middle East offered Shaker 04 an offer of up to 5000 million pounds. It is reported that this offer has been accepted by Schalke 04, and Manchester City and Sane have entered the stage of contract negotiation...

This news is like a blockbuster, directly detonating the Premier League transfer market in the 16-17 season!

It's not because of anything else, everyone is lamenting how rich Manchester City is.

After the end of last season, Sane just renewed his contract with Schalke 04 for five years, and his worth is only 800 million euros. Guardiola just said that Manchester City spent 5000 million?Or sterling?

The main data of Sane in the Bundesliga last season was only eight goals and six assists. In the Europa League, he started six games and came off the bench. He only had one goal and one assist.

Is this level really worth £5000m?

Is it the sudden inflation of world football, or is Manchester City simply a fool with a lot of money?

Soon everyone discovered that it was the latter, because Chelsea also made an offer for Kanter of Leicester City, and the offer was only 3000 million euros.

In fact, this is also a premium. Kanter's current German turning price is only 2000 million euros. You read that right, the value of defensive players is so outrageous.

Even if Kanter's defensive statistics are the best in the Premier League, as long as he can't attack, his worth won't go up.

To make a digression, the skyrocketing value of Kanter happened after the World Cup in Russia. Everyone thought he was great before, but they never thought he was that great.

But even if he wins the World Cup, Kanter's worth is about the same as that of the peak Maguire. At the highest point, he barely touched the threshold of [-] million, which is outrageous.

Of course Leicester City is unwilling to let Kanter go easily, their management still understands the ball.

Helplessly, Kanter's sense of belonging to Leicester City is not strong, and it is difficult to be strong. He only came over last season and only played for one season.

And this year Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham collectively stretched their hips, and Leicester City failed to hit the championship. For players with a sense of honor, going to a giant is the best choice.

Not to mention salary and bonus...

Therefore, when Chelsea raised their offer to 500 million euros, Leicester City had already loosened up, and they responded with an offer of 4000 million euros.

You must know that they only spent 900 million euros to buy Kanter, and they made a net profit of 100 million euros in a season, which is enough no matter how you look at it...

With a reply, it means that the overall situation has been decided, and the rest is only a matter of price and time.

In fact, Chelsea have already negotiated a personal contract with Kanter. Abramovich is rich and powerful, and directly offered Kanter a weekly salary of 15 pounds, which is nearly double that of Leicester City.

The double mentioned here is the double of Leicester City's renewal of Kanter's contract. Yes, Leicester City paid Kanter, Mahrez and Vardy a weekly salary of [-] pounds. It's already the top salary in their team...

Only Vardy accepted the contract, and Kanter originally planned to accept it. After all, for a player whose mobile phone can be used for ten years, earning [-] pounds a week is already very much.

But at this time, Chelsea appeared...

Therefore, in terms of salary structure alone, Leicester City can't keep Kanter.

As for Mahrez, he's still pulling...

Just when Chelsea officially announced the signing of Leicester City midfielder Kanter for 900 million euros, Manchester City directly announced two heavy signings.

As I said before, Sane finally switched to Manchester City for 500 million pounds. This is not over. Manchester City won the 22-year-old central defender Laporte from Athletic Bilbao, which cost them 6000 million. EUR.

Not counting De Bruyne, Guardiola has not yet arrived in England, Manchester City has invested more than [-] million euros, this is called rich and powerful...

But the media is unanimously not optimistic about the two signings of Manchester City. Sane's data has been mentioned before, and Laporte's performance last season can not be considered good.

His advantage is playing the ball, which is also what Guardiola is looking for, but the Spanish central defender made too many offensive passes last season, resulting in a pass success rate of [-]%, and the success rate of frontcourt passes is less than [-]%. , everyone felt that it was difficult for him to fulfill his talent and worth...

But Manchester City's signings continued, and they spent another 800 million euros to buy the 33-year-old Chilean goalkeeper Bravo from Barcelona.

Bravo performed well in Barcelona last season, with a save success rate of 78.9%, second only to Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak.

But Guardiola is not interested in this. He is interested in Bravo's ball. Bravo is the goalkeeper with the highest pass success rate in the five major leagues, as high as 80.4%, with an average of 27 passes per game. .

Now, everyone knows Guardiola's signing ideas. He wants to turn Manchester City into the Barcelona of the Premier League, just like what he did when he was coaching Bayern Munich.

But the media is generally not optimistic. The Premier League's offensive rhythm is faster, the pressing is more fierce, and the physical confrontation is stronger. Can Guardiola do this?

Whether Pep Guardiola can pull it off or not, Chelsea's transfers are continuing and they can't lose in the arms race.

In the new season, Mourinho wants to play 433, and the position of the midfielder is particularly critical.

Harvey Alonso did not play many games last season. This season he is preparing to retire and join Mourinho's coaching staff. This is also one of Mourinho's promises to recruit him last season.

And Cesc Fabregas is one year older. It is difficult for him to support the whole season alone. Mourinho has taken a fancy to the Croatian midfielder Brozovic who was loaned to Inter Milan last season.

But according to Mourinho's sources, Inter Milan has prepared to buy out Brozovic for 500 million euros. Send a fax inquiry.

Only after this question did I know that the buyout price of Inter Milan is not a compulsory buyout, there is still talk!

Mourinho immediately flew directly to Milan with sister no, wanting to intercept...
