Chapter 704 The Smoke of the Transfer Market

Long Shute's behavior of "slaying Tony with tears" undoubtedly gave Liverpool fans a reassurance. They no longer have to worry about waking up and discovering that the team's star + ace captain was killed by other teams. Poached away.

Liverpool fans are relieved, but fans of other teams are not so lucky, because the excavators of the major giants have been raised high!
2016 is a big year for sports, and the holding of the three major events will definitely increase the value of some players - just like Ronaldo after the 2014 World Cup!
Some people will observe the performance of players through the European Cup, Copa America, and the Olympics, and some will start early, such as Arsenal.

As early as the last week of May, Wenger dug up midfielder Granit Xhaka from Bundesliga Borussia Mönchengladbach at a high price of 5 million pounds, filling Arsenal's long-standing weakness in the waist.

After entering June, the professor spent another 6 million and 3500 million to buy German defender Mustafi and Spanish striker Perez respectively.

No one expected that the one that kicked off the arms race in the summer... turned out to be Arsenal, which has never been willing to spend money!

And it was close to [-] million in one shot!
The world is definitely not right!

You know, Arsenal is third in the Premier League!
Qualified for the Champions League for 20 consecutive years, second only to Real Madrid!
But even they, who have such outstanding results, are so eager to sign in and reinforce them. How can you embarrass the fifth, sixth, and eighth-ranked Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea?

The Premier League powerhouses immediately turned red-eyed, they must not be preempted by Arsenal!

First came a wave of new coaches:

Mourinho and Pep Guardiola have taken over Manchester United and Manchester City respectively. The two famous coaches are about to stage a world-renowned "Guamu look at each other" in Manchester.

The famous Italian coach Conte also confirmed that he will coach Chelsea after the European Cup. He will use his iron fist to reshape a blue iron army!

Chelsea may have to wait for the new coach to complete the handover before preparing to sign in, but the Manchester duo can't wait to start burning money.

Manchester United signed the Swedish god Ibrahimovic for free from Paris, which is poaching people all over the world, and spent 1.05 million euros to buy back their own youth training Pogba from Juventus. It is enough to show their ambition to revive!
Of course, their signings cannot be just two people. Bundesliga MVP Mkhitaryan transferred from Borussia Dortmund for 4250 million euros, and Villarreal defender Eric Bailly paid almost the same. Come to report together with your worth.

With only four players, Manchester United spent close to 2 million euros!
With such money burning next door, Manchester City is certainly not far behind.

Did Mourinho introduce Mkhitaryan?
I, Guardiola, bought Mkhitaryan's Dortmund teammate Gundogan for 2600 million!
1650 million cheaper than you!
5500 million bought England native defender Stones, becoming the most expensive defender in the world!
3200 million bought Brazilian genius star Gabriel Jesus, the opponent they defeated was Guardiola's old club Barcelona!
5000 million to buy Schalke winger Sane, 1800 million to buy Barcelona goalkeeper Bravo, and 1800 million to buy Spanish striker Nolito who performed well in the European Cup...

Unknowingly, Manchester City also burned more than 2 million euros in transfer fees!
And when Italy was eliminated, Conte also joined the money-burning battle group:
4000 million euros to sign Marseille striker Batshuayi!
4100 million to welcome back Brazilian defender David Luiz!
3600 million to buy Leicester City iron waist and Makelele's successor Kanter!

3000 million to buy young Spanish defender Marcos Alonso!
In a blink of an eye, it was nearly 1.5 million! -
The Premier League giants once again let the whole of Europe see their wealth, and other leagues that received the check have also started their own procurement plans.

Dortmund in the Bundesliga must be the most miserable team this summer:
They were not only poached by Manchester United and Manchester City, but also captain Hummels by Bayern...

The three players exchanged for more than [-] million euros in transfer funds, but for Dortmund, this amount of euros can't make up for what they lost!

Lose a central axis at the same time within a month!

Who can still be optimistic about you as a wealthy team?
The debilitated Yellow and Black Army successively bought six players including Schurrle, Götze, Bartha Bailey, Rhodes, and Guerrero, and almost spent all the income from the sales, but everyone knew , their upper limit ends here...

In contrast to Bayern, they only bought two players, Hummels and Sanches, one in front and one in back. The confidence and arrogance of the giants are undoubtedly evident.

The Serie A transfer market is actually as polarized as the Bundesliga. Only Juventus, Inter Milan, and Naples spend more money, and the source of everything is of course the Bianconeri.

The old woman spent 9000 million to buy rival Naples' top scorer and smoker Higuain, and spent 3000 million to poach Messi from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Wang Chu's former roommate from another competitor "Red Wolf" Roma. Pjanic, plus 2300 million Pjaca and some cheap players, their total cost is more than 1.5 million.

After getting Higuain's transfer fee, Naples also became rich and powerful. They broke it up and bought 7 players who were in their prime with the transfer fee of one person. It seems that the lineup has been strengthened... …

Inter Milan, which was acquired by Suning Group, also received a lot of financial support. Players such as 4500 million Joao Mario, 3000 million Bassabo, and 2500 million Candreva were recruited to the Nerazzurri. The investment of 1 million euros also gave fans a glimmer of hope for revival.

As for AC Milan, due to the problem of Li Ge's capital chain and the lack of sufficient industrial support, they had to cut down on food and clothing. In order to maintain the operation of the club, they had to sell Balotelli and Shalawi, the two main Italian internationals. Such a move obviously made fans see no hope.
-
La Liga is also similar:
As last season's league and Copa del Rey double champions, Barcelona still did not slack off. They signed Umtiti, Cillessen, Andre Gomez, Paco, Lucas Dini and other players consecutively. The cost is close to 1.2 million.

Although Atletico Madrid, which encountered Waterloo in the Champions League final, did not invest so much, it also spent nearly 9000 million euros to buy Gaitan, Fossalico, Gameiro and other powerful players.

On the contrary, Real Madrid didn't feel any tension at all. They relied on Zidane, who became a halfway home, to beat Atletico Madrid and win the Champions League in May, but they got nothing in the league and the Copa del Rey. bought back the team's youth training Morata for 5 million euros, and then announced that the transfer market for this summer was officially closed.

Seeing that the America's Cup and the European Cup have ended one after another, the club has not moved any more. Real Madrid fans can't sit still. They began to offer suggestions to the club's senior management:

"Although we are the champions of the Champions League, the Chinese say it well, it is easy to fight the country, but difficult to defend the country. We have to buy some people, right?"

"Although it is impossible to buy Long Shute, how many players with tens of millions of players like Harry Kane and Hazard can buy?"

"The next best thing, didn't that Lewandowski always wanted to come to Madrid?"

"It's really not possible, it's okay to buy a young man like Draxler or Icardi!"

"We have to show our ambition to the world!"

But no matter how the fans petitioned, Florentino was still unmoved, and he didn't spend any more money.

Not only did he fail to buy superstars, but he cleaned up three players in a row—among them, Jesse, who was once hailed as "Raul's successor", even sold for 2500 million euros.

Coupled with 700 million Cheryshev and 150 million Medland, Real Madrid not only did not spend money in this transfer window, but instead made a net profit of 350 million euros!
The world must be crazy!
Arsenal, which has always been stingy, spent 350 million in anger, but Real Madrid, which has always been rich and powerful, earned [-] million! -
What about Liverpool?

Although Long Shute is on the other side of the world, he will receive real-time news from the club.

Joe Allen, who reached the semi-finals with Wales in the European Cup, was not satisfied with being a substitute here and moved to Stoke City for £1800 million.

Also leaving the team is striker Jordan Ibe. Although Liverpool have adopted a wide range of rotations, as the sixth striker, he still can't get too many opportunities and can only go to Bournemouth at a price of 1600 million pounds. ——I have to say that the English household registration book is quite valuable...

The 32-year-old central defender Skrtel also chose to leave the team. Liverpool did not deliberately embarrass the Slovak iron guard who dedicated 8 and a half seasons of youth to the team. Sexual transfer fee, let go of "Brother Prison Break".

Foreign youth players such as Brad Smith and Pedro Chirivela, who were previously considered to have little potential, were purged one after another, and only received a total of about 1000 million pounds.

In terms of signings, Liverpool signed German defender Matip for free, adding a strong player to the defense.

Then, they signed the Southampton thigh that they have been negotiating since April for 3400 million pounds-Sadio Mane. He scored twice. You know, he scored 4 goals on all fronts last season...

Even if he can't show such strength in Liverpool and can reduce such a terrible opponent, the 3400 million is worth it!

In addition to Mane, Liverpool also bought central defender Van Dijk from his hometown, and the cost also reached 3000 million pounds-you know, when this Dutch defender joined the Saints a year ago, he was only worth 1600 million. .

He doubled his net worth in a year, and the fellow slaughtered Liverpool viciously!

In addition, Rodgers originally wanted to sign Newcastle's midfielder Wijnaldum-this Dutch midfielder also led his team to beat Liverpool's defense in the league-but Long Special suggested that he Looking at Liverpool's current midfield thickness, he can only give up.

After all, in Liverpool's frontcourt, apart from Long Special and Coutinho occupying a position respectively, Sturridge, Benteke, Firmino, Mane, Origi, Ince... six The forwards rotate two positions, vice-captain Henderson, Emre Can, Milner, Lucas, Lallana... five midfielders compete for two positions, and the competition is fierce enough.
-
time flies.

In the distant land of America, Chile defeated Argentina again after a lapse of a year, and Messi once again fell on the penalty spot.

The World Cup runner-up in 2014 and the America's Cup runner-up in 2015 and 2016, the club king suddenly entered an inexplicable problem.

On the contrary, his opponent Cristiano Ronaldo ushered in a bright moment, leading Portugal to win the European Cup in a completely unfavorable situation-although they relied on a series of draws and new rules to stumble and complete the great cause of winning the championship, but the champion It is the champion!

European Cup champion + Champions League champion, although there is no gain in the country, these two most important honors have almost guaranteed Ronaldo to win the Golden Globe Award this year.
-
The short vacation is finally over.

Long Shute stretched his waist on the beach in Fiji, glanced at his wife who was still resting with her eyes closed, and let out a long breath.

Fortunately, after all, he is already an old couple. This month, he has basically gotten enough rest, and proper exercise has also allowed him to maintain a perfect body shape.

Long Shute fiddled with Emma's long golden hair, and drew a circle on her face:
"We're leaving here tomorrow, Harney."

Feeling a little itchy, the little witch wrinkled her nose slightly:
"I bet it will rain in London tomorrow."

Long Shute shook his head with a dumbfounded smile, but heard a tremor from the phone on the table.

He reached out to open the phone, and his expression changed slightly.

This is an email from Johnson, General Manager of Liverpool FC.

"Bayern Munich made an offer, ready to buy Emre Can and Holger Badstuber in a package, the initial offer... £4000 million (Can's contract is only one year)."

These two German players are Bayern's own youth training, and their feelings for Bayern cannot be described in words.

As long as Bayern calls up, they can even return with a pay cut, right?

Long Shute sighed, and sent a reply to Johnson:

"can."

Two of his old teammates finally left him after briefly working together for a season.

Some helpless parting.
