Chapter 648 Failed Trip to Germany

"Where are the two U18s brought up?"

This time the U18 echelon has only two players who have been brought up to practice with them, the central defender Mensah and the forward Rashford, both of whom are middle school classmates.

"Not bad." Sun Wu simply replied.

"Rashford looks great, doesn't he?" Mike Phelan asked tentatively.

"Why do you ask?"

"Hey, in the confrontation training just now, your Rashford seems to pass a bit too much..."

Sun Wu rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Some time ago, Salah's miraculous performance surprised the colleagues of the coaching staff. What surprised them was not Salah himself, but the advice Sun Wu gave a few months ago.

If he listened to Sun Wu's suggestion and snatched up the Egyptian, even if he rented it back to Basel, he would be able to earn at least tens of millions of euros at this time.

The media that used to have good things counted the players who Sun Wu named and bought, or the list of players who named but failed to buy.

This list is shining, including Aubameyang, who has killed the Quartet in the Bundesliga, and Bayern Munich's main center Lewandowski.

There are Mandzukic who did a good job at Atletico Madrid last season, Griezmann and Thomas Muller in the current Manchester United team, as well as his teammate Walker at Tottenham last season, and Chelsea's No. 9 Cavani.

Some became famous when they were young, but some have been unknown, such as Aubameyang who has no future in AC Milan, Griezmann who played midfielder in Real Sociedad, and Thomas Muller who was abandoned by Bayern Munich.

The coaching staff has a better understanding of Sun Wu's ability in this area. The Manchester United scouting system has been observing the two midfielders Sun Wu proposed during the summer training camp.

Casemiro was promoted into the first team ahead of the start of La Liga and quickly established himself.

Although Kanter is in the Ligue [-], he played steadily and well, leading the average number of steals and clearances per game.

Mike Phelan discovered through Sun Wu's unusual performance in the training session just now, it seems that he is very interested in Rashford.

Although Sun Wu closed his mouth later, Mike Phelan decided to look back and put Rashford on the key observation list. You must know that Manchester United is very short of strikers now!
Sun Wu is actually not satisfied with the current Manchester United team, the young ones are too young, and the old ones are too old, but sometimes it is not up to Sun Wu, or even Pochettino, to undergo surgery or cleaning.

There are a lot of players in the Manchester United team who are not able to play, and their talents are not top-notch, and they have an urgent need to play.

For example, Evans, who ranks last in the central defender, and Michael Keane, as well as Fellaini and Cleverly, the latter's stable starting during this period is mainly because Pogba has been recovering from injuries.

There are many examples of being unable to play but having a high salary, and having no chance to cause a psychological imbalance, and even affect the atmosphere in the locker room.

Sun Wu suddenly turned around and said, "Cleverly, Michael Keane and even Evans, they can be rented out or sold, but there is a repurchase clause in the contract?"

"What kind of bullshit is that..." Mike Phelan grinned. There are very few buy-back clauses in British football, and this stuff usually appears in La Liga.

Sun Wu chuckled, "It's better than Serie A, that 50.00% ownership is called shit!"

"Half ownership" is a characteristic of Serie A. Before the opening of the transfer window every year, the two parties will reach an agreement: either one party will bid to sell off all the ownership of the player, or continue to share the player for one year. The extreme situation is that both parties want a player but fail to obtain it. After reaching an agreement on the amount, the respective bids will be "opened" by the Football Association in a sealed envelope, and the highest bidder will win.

If there is a third club that values ​​players with co-ownership, it can negotiate with the two clubs separately, or it can buy and sell half of the ownership.

It's even more complicated than the transfer of Mascherano and Tevez to West Ham back then.

Relatively speaking, the repurchase clause is more reasonable. Sun Wu remembers that there are many examples in this regard.

The most famous is Morata, who transferred to Juventus for 2000 million euros. After helping the old woman reach the Champions League final and staged a counterattack to eliminate Real Madrid in the semi-finals, Real Madrid started the buyback clause with 2500 million The euro bought Morata back, and if it is the third year, it will need 3000 million euros.

Although Morata's second entry into the palace was still very mediocre in Real Madrid, he was later sold to Chelsea for 8500 million euros, and Real Madrid also made a fortune.

Sun Wu rubbed his chin and remembered that the Bundesliga also had such an example later. Stuttgart bought back Kimmich, who was sold to Leipzig Red Bull, at a price of 75 euros, and then immediately sold it to Bayern at ten times the price of 750 million euros. .

Tsk tsk, Sun Wu pondered that Kimmich seems to be very good. He is also a versatile midfielder, central midfielder, wide midfielder, and central defender. Manchester United really lacks such a versatile player. I just don’t know how old he is now. up.

Thinking of this, Sun Wu clapped his hands, "Mike, I'll take a leave of absence and go to Germany tomorrow."

"What?"

"Miguel is back in Argentina, I will help him go to work!"

The next day, when Sun Wu came to Leipzig Red Bull Club, many middle-aged people in the stands of the unshielded training ground cast vigilant eyes.

Tsk tsk, Sun Wu is quite famous in this industry.

However, Sun Wu is not here to poach people in name, but to reminisce about the old days.

"Hi, Ralph." Sun Wu gave Lannick a big hug, "Seeing me, are you moved?"

"Moved?" Lannick adjusted his glasses frame, "Best, I don't think you came here to see me!"

"It makes me so sad..."

"Stop making trouble, who are you after?" Lannick looked at the former student and colleague with a smile, "However, Zonig will not let any player go."

Zonig is now the head coach of RB Leipzig, and Rangnick is the sporting director.

After stepping down from the stands and watching from the sidelines for a while, Sun Wu immediately locked onto the young kid, Joshua Kimmich.

"Kimmich?" A mysterious smile appeared on Rangnick's face. "This little guy is very good. He was recruited from the Stuttgart youth training camp. He became the main player just a month after he transferred."

"The breach of contract shouldn't be high, right?"

"The little guy has a clear plan for his future." Rangnick shrugged, "And it doesn't help Manchester United now."

"I'm 18 years old. At this age, Fabregas and I are already the core of the team." Sun Wu shook his head, "By the way, he is playing the midfielder now?"

Lannick was a little surprised, you have come here to poach someone, and you still don't know what position he plays?
"He can play as a central midfielder and a defensive midfielder, and he can also play as a full-back when necessary." Rangnick patted Sun Wu on the shoulder, "What Joshua needs now is playing time, and Manchester United can't give him that."

"Should I buy it first and then rent it back?"

"Do you think I will agree?" Rangnick said with a smile: "Best, you know I am the sports director of this club, and I have a very professional ethics."

Seeing Sun Wu a little frustrated, Lannick added: "Don't be sad, Best, you're not the first to be rejected by me."

"Who?"

"A person you know very well." The smile on Rangnick's face grew wider, "Your old friend, Pep Guardiola."

Sun Wu opened his mouth wide and was speechless, why is Guardiola eyeing Kimmich at this time?
