On June 24, at 11 o'clock in the evening, the third round of the group A group stage of the Confederations Cup started, and the Chinese team played against Portugal led by Ronaldo.

Then the Chinese team also launched several attacks, but on the field could not take too much advantage in front of the European champions, Portugal's attack was obviously more threatening, and even the commentator admitted that the "Chinese second team" and Portugal had a big gap in strength.

Lin Li, who scored in the first two games, was still active in this game, but unfortunately he didn't get many opportunities, which also had something to do with the Chinese team being suppressed. Portugal didn't seem to have had much luck either, hitting the post three times, twice with Cristiano Ronaldo alone.

However, in the end, 1:0, Portugal still defeated the Chinese team smoothly. After three games, China has four points with one win, one draw and one loss, ranking third in the standings and missing the semi-finals.

The Chinese team was eliminated, which is not a strange thing in the eyes of many media and fans, the national team composed of "second-tier players" is definitely much inferior in strength, but the Chinese team is not completely without gains, they scored four goals in three games, especially Lin Li, two goals and one assist, is the best player of the Chinese team, and major domestic media have praised him.

The day after the game, An Rong returned to China with the soldiers of the national team, and many fans were picked up at the airport. It can be seen that although they failed to qualify from the group, domestic fans still recognize their performance.

At the same time, AC Milan are still watching the transfer market and looking for the right player to start with. One thing that can be proved is that the Rossoneri do want to get Mbappe, they have already made contact with Monaco, and Mbappe is not averse to going to Milan, although he prefers Real Madrid, but AC Milan has just won the league and the Champions League, and has recovered all its vitality, and Mbappe is of course willing to come to such a championship team.

AC Milan is also ready to make an official offer, but at this moment, Mbappe made a request, he asked AC Milan to give him an annual salary of 15 million euros!

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar from all walks of life. At present, AC Milan's second-in-command Chen Zihua's annual salary is 14 million euros, in other words, Mbappe wants to replace Chen Zihua's position in the team, and this is the only Zhang Shujie, which has caused AC Milan to be very dissatisfied.

Li Yonghong said: "I can understand that a player asks for a high salary, but Mbappe does not have very special achievements in world football at present, and the only one who can get it is a French champion." But if you want me to give him an annual salary of 15 million based on this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to do it. Now whether it is Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua or Yan Tao in Milan, their salaries are all based on the championship, so I can only say to Mbappe that I will never see you again. ”

After these words were exposed by the media, many fans applauded Li Yonghong loudly. It is true that Mbappe is young and powerful, but why does he want to surpass Chen Zihua's status as soon as he arrives in the team? Last season, "Andy" played 50 games for AC Milan, scored 21 goals and assisted 25 times, and was the team's second scorer and first assister.

Coincidentally, Mbappe also asked Real Madrid for a high annual salary of 15 million euros, which was also rejected by Real Madrid. It can be seen that these teams with a lot of history will not give a young player a high salary so easily.

AC Milan has set its sights on other players again, Xu Ziyi, who has been rumored, has not been seen so far, and the rumors of another top player have come again, he is Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci!

It is reported that AC Milan is willing to pay Bonucci a transfer fee of 40 million euros, which is already very high among defenders, which can also show AC Milan's sincerity. Some media said that AC Milan bought Bonucci because Juventus "robbed" their Desiglio, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with Desiglio, Bonucci's relationship with Dybala and Allegri in Juventus gradually began to deteriorate, and he himself does want to leave Juventus, AC Milan is a very good choice.

There was also news coming out of Donnarumma's side, saying: "If AC Milan really want to keep me, they should meet my needs. The implication is that AC Milan will pay him a high salary of 6 million euros a year.

This made the Milan fans who were already dissatisfied with him even more annoyed, and some Milan fans even scolded him for "a lot of money". AC Milan has not officially stated its position, and I don't know Brother Li's attitude for the time being. However, according to the speculation of relevant media, Milan is now the time to hire people, and it is possible to meet Donnarumma's requirements, as for the follow-up, it is unknown.

On June 30, Barcelona officially announced that the buyback clause of Deulofeu was officially activated, at which time Deulofeu's ownership was no longer AC Milan, but Everton. Originally, Deulofeu was reluctant to go to Barcelona as a substitute for Neymar, but Neymar has made it clear that he wants to leave Barcelona, and as for where his next home is, there are rumors that it is Paris Saint-Germain, but this has not been confirmed.

No matter what, Neymar doesn't want to stay in Barcelona any longer, he has been Messi's younger brother for four years, and he wants to be the boss, but Barcelona, with the existence of King Mei, no one can be the boss, Neymar can only choose to leave. It is for this reason that Barcelona bought back Deulofeu for emergencies.

But Messi was not satisfied, he thought that the arrival of Deulofeu could not fill the imminent departure of Neymar, so Messi also found Neymar together with Suarez and wanted to talk to him, but the Brazilian king had made up his mind, and it was useless to persuade Messi and Suarez.

In addition to Deulofeu, Pasalic and Fernandes also left Milan at this point, and like Deulofeu, the two returned to their parent club at the end of their loan spells. The former returned to Chelsea and the latter to Fiorentina.

On this day, AC Milan also regained a lot of players, basically returning to AC Milan at the end of the loan period, but these players basically can't play the main team, and some may not even be able to squeeze into the bench, they are either sent to the reserve team, or find another way.

A day later, the summer transfer window officially opened, Diego Lopes went to La Liga Espanyol, Poli went to Bologna on a free transfer, in fact, for Poli, many Milan fans still hope that he can stay, this player can run and grab, many people appreciate him more, it is not bad to stay as a substitute, Poli himself does not want to go, but the club has never talked to him about contract renewal, so Poli can only leave the San Siro stadium.
