Chapter 915 When the transfer is in progress
In the office, Mike Phelan was chatting with a few colleagues who had just assumed office, and from time to time there were hearty laughter.

"He was like that back then." Rolf, an assistant coach who once worked with Wolfsburg, Schalke 04 and Sun Wu, laughed: "But he can always do it."

In 2011, Sun Wu left Schalke 04. In the second year, Rangnick became the sports director of Red Bull Group, and then took the team to Leipzig Red Bull. Rolf stayed in Schalke 04 until he received Sun Wu's contract a month ago. invitation.

In fact, the three new members of the coaching staff that Sun Wu invited this time are all acquaintances. In addition to Rolf, there are also rehabilitation coach Markus Zettermeisser, who was dug from Rangnick, and Physical trainer Reuthard, who had worked with Magath for a long time, and later at the Bayer Leverkusen club.

"In terms of tactics, I discussed with Best. Compared with last season, the changes are mainly in the midfield." Mike Phelan brought the topic back to the topic, "He hopes to change positions more frequently and run more flexibly, which requires a lot of work and long hours of training."

Rolf nodded in agreement, "This set of tactics appeared during Schalke 04, and it is relatively mature now."

Mike Phelan and Rolf began to place chess pieces on the tactical board for formation experiments, and they will be Sun Wu's most important assistants in tactics.

At this time, fitness coach Reuthard walked into the office, and behind him was Sun Wu, who could be called bleak.

"Looking tired?" Carrick, who has retired, joked.

Sun Wu squinted and said, "Reuthard should have come over last summer!"

"You weren't the head coach last summer." Reuthard laughed, "Best, don't worry, I have formulated a physical training plan for each player."

Sun Wu didn't even bother to talk, and after cupping his hands, he gasped for a while before trying to force himself to say: "Mike is in charge of the internal management of the coaching staff, Rolf and Carrick are in charge of tactics, Zettlemeisle, Luo Ithard, you two, keep in touch with Dr. Swell."

"By the way, what happened to Lucas?" Sun Wu asked suddenly.

"It was a bit fierce, the staff couldn't even get in touch with Lucas, and Simeone's attitude was very tough." Mike Phelan was very helpless, "Lucas' agent has already contacted him, and he suggested directly triggering the termination fee terms."

"That's 1800 million euros?" Rolf came from the Bundesliga, where the transfer fee is generally low, and said in shock: "An 18-year-old young man even only has less than one hour of playing time in the top league..."

1800 million euros, in the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga, is enough to poach core players!

Sun Wu took a few sips of water before asking, "Where is Mendy?"

"Marseille offered 1500 million euros, and the possibility of a price reduction is unlikely."

"Then Lucas." Sun Wu considered for a long time and decided to trigger Lucas' termination clause.

The difference is only 300 million euros, but Lucas is much more reliable than Mendy, who can play two or three games after nine months of rest.

Ten days ago, when Sun Wu was about to offer Mendy, Lucas called.

When Sun Wu sent out the invitation at the beginning of the year, Lucas was excited at first, but after a calm analysis, he was ready to reject the invitation. The reason is simple. Simeone gave him a guarantee of a lot of playing time next season, and the team's newly introduced left-back status too bad.

But after the transfer market opened, first Miranda returned on loan and Simeone confirmed that he would stay with the team, and then Felipe returned to Atletico Madrid with a price of 1500 million pounds. These two transfer information made the young Lucas At a loss.

Atletico Madrid's defense, Juan Fran and captain Godin are the absolute main force, and Lucas can play in the remaining two positions, but the central defenders have Miranda, Savage, and Jimenez, and the left backs have Felipe, it is difficult for Lucas to get a starting opportunity.

Compared with Felipe, who has rich experience and has played for Atletico Madrid for many years, Lucas is confident to grab the main position from Luke Shaw.

On July 7th, Manchester United's official website announced that it would trigger the release clause of Atletico Madrid's 19-year-old young defender Lucas Hernandez, and directly paid 18 million euros to bring him to Old Trafford and signed him A five-year contract.

This news shocked the British football world, paying 18 million euros for a fledgling 1800-year-old player who hadn't even played much, and still using the rather unscrupulous method of triggering the release clause, which made Lucas' reputation Instantly spread throughout the British Isles.

At the same time, the La Liga media also reported on this to a considerable extent. The termination fee of 1800 million euros proves Lucas' potential and the importance Atletico Madrid attaches to him.

"Marca" even claimed that all La Liga clubs need to be more vigilant, what are they vigilant about?Of course, be wary of Best.

Simeone, who failed to keep Lucas, jumped in front of the reporter and scolded Sun Wu... Well, Sun Wu blocked Simeone's mobile phone number.

In fact, Sun Wu is not clear. Although Felipe will be the main force next season in the original air, Lucas will play 15 times and his performance is very eye-catching.

Atletico Madrid renewed the contract with Lucas twice in the next three years, and the termination fee increased from 1800 million euros to 8000 million euros.

However, Manchester United forcibly poached Lucas, and they themselves became the target of others.

The staff at the Carrington base informed the coaching staff that Chelsea faxed a £2000 million offer to Schneiderlin, and Tottenham Hotspur offered Lukaku a £1000 million offer.

"1000 million pounds, the shrinkage is too great. It cost 2500 million pounds last year." Sun Wu shrank on the sofa a little helplessly. Last season, Lukaku was the worst performer in the team, wearing the No. 9 jersey and only scored. Scored 11 goals, and the longest ball shortage lasted two and a half months.

"Pochettino likes him." Mike Phelan didn't care about it. "The key is whether Harry Kane can take on the important task of scoring goals."

"Of course no problem, as for Schneiderlin..."

Mike Phelan glanced over, everyone knew about this matter.

As soon as Fabinho and Pavard entered the training camp, they were asked by Sun Wu to have a special talk. Everyone was surprised during the training on the second day. Pavard, who played midfielder, retreated to play right back, and Fabinho played right back. Go to play the midfielder.

With the addition of Fletcher, Herrera who stayed on the team, and Kanter who returned from Leicester City, Manchester United has hoarded five players in the midfielder position, and Schneiderlin is Pochettino's confidant.

In this case, it is only natural for Schneiderlin to give up his wish.

It is said that the head coaches of the Premier League are all managers. They not only lead the team to train and play, but also deeply participate in player transactions. However, in a modern society where the division of labor is refined, player transactions are basically irrelevant to the coaching staff. They are only responsible for determining the cleanup. Or the goal of signings.

Sun Wu sent an email to Batty, agreeing that Lukaku and Schneiderlin should leave the team, but their worth should not be so cheap, especially Schneiderlin, the absolute main force of the league champion and Champions League champion is only 2000 million pounds?
On July 7, when Manchester United was about to fly back to Manchester, Chelsea announced that they had signed Manchester United's main midfielder Schneiderlin with a transfer fee of 28 million pounds, and Tottenham Hotspur announced that they had signed him with a transfer fee of 3000 million pounds. Pochettino's old Lukaku.

These two pieces of news are actually good news for Sun Wu. So far, Januzaj, Lukaku, and Schneiderlin, three of Pochettino’s confidantes, have been successfully purged. Wu single-handedly brought it.

This also means that Sun Wu can control the team without any suspense!

However, Manchester United's transfer strategy is a bit confusing to the outside world...

Thomas Muller £6000m, Januzaj £950m, Schneiderlin £3000m, Romelu Lukaku £1300m and Manchester United £1.125m.

And Lucas 1800 million euros, Van Dijk 1600 million pounds, Bernardo Silva 2500 million pounds, Pavard and Fabinho combined less than 600 million euros, and the expenditure is worth more than 6000 million pounds.

In other words, Manchester United can make a net profit of more than 5000 million pounds this summer!

After listening to the financial director Batty's report, the expression on Woodward's face was wonderful.
