Chapter 693: Chinese-funded Milan
Negotiations between AC Milan and the Chinese side continued, and the behind-the-scenes boss Li Hongyong vowed to take AC Milan, and publicly promised Milan fans that as long as the acquisition of Milan was successful, there would be a large investment.
As a result, Milan fans are waiting for Brother Li to acquire AC Milan as soon as possible, and pay attention to the news of AC Milan every day, but there is no further news released for the time being.
In Italy, Inzaghi met with Galliani and Silvio Berlusconi to reconfirm the Milan takeover, to which they replied that a verbal agreement had been reached. Two days later, Inzaghi met Li Hongyong with Berlusconi, and the "Ninth Master" jokingly asked Li Hongyong about the acquisition of AC Milan, and Li Hongyong did not evade, and the answer he gave was: Next month!
There have been no shocking transfers in European football this year, but there has been a lot of media speculation about Zhang Shujie's whereabouts, and giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona have guessed the most, even if these two teams already have a forward combination like BBC and MSN, but as the two best teams in football today, it is not surprising that Zhang Shujie, who has won the Ballon d'Or, even if he really goes.
But Feng Kai asked the media this sentence: "You are always thinking about Zhang Shujie going to Real Madrid or Barcelona, well, let me ask you, who will be the substitute in the two teams of BBC and MSN? I can tell you very clearly that as long as Zhang Shujie's physical condition allows, he will never be a substitute! Regarding this, I will definitely indicate this in the contract!"
Someone replied to Feng Kai's words: "If you go to Real Madrid, you can let Benzema be a substitute, and if you go to Barcelona, you can also squeeze Suarez on the bench." ”
Feng Kai replied again: "Yes, then please let Ronaldo and Messi serve Zhang Shujie! Please go and ask these two people if they agree." ”
These words are nothing more than jokes, Feng Kai has long said that no matter how much Real Madrid and Barcelona offer, they will not send Zhang Shujie there. Zhang Shujie is the person who is the core of the team, instead of going to these two teams and Mero to compete for the position of the leading boss, in that case, it is not good for the players and the team.
Just when Zhang Shujie's matter was being hyped up by the media every day, another piece of news attracted people's attention: Manchester City, which has always been fond of Chen Zihua, announced that it would abandon the acquisition of Chen Zihua and completely locked its eyes on Wolfsburg midfielder De Bruyne! As for why Manchester City did not want to bring in Chen Zihua, the reason was that Chen Zihua said such a sentence.
"I'm not going to leave PSG right now, I'm very happy here. I don't know what will happen in the future, but for now, I can tell everyone for sure that at least I'll be at Saint-Germain next season. ”
This is Chen Zihua's original words. But he was also very careful to explain that it was next season, that is, the next year, and what would happen in a year, so no one knows.
Chen Zihua has announced that he will stay, not only Manchester City can't buy him, but Bayern can only do it. Manchester City, without Chen Zihua, immediately launched Plan B to get De Bruyne in their hands. In terms of difficulty, it is easier to get De Bruyne than to get Chen Zihua. After all, Paris Saint-Germain is the Ligue 1 champion team, and they are not short of money, and they just gave Chen Zihua a salary increase, so that his annual salary reached 8 million euros! If there is no full reason for Chen Zihua to leave, he will definitely not leave.
De Bruyne is different, first of all, Wolfsburg is completely suppressed by Bayern Munich in Germany, and it is very difficult to win the league title like in 2008/2009, and secondly, Wolfsburg does not pay too high salaries, and from this point of view, it is very difficult to retain people. These are the opposite of Manchester City, a Premier League team that is rich, has the ability to compete for the title, and can offer higher wages, and believes that as long as the price is reasonable, it is not impossible for De Bruyne to leave Germany.
In addition, Di Maria, who has not had a good time at Manchester United, also has the idea of leaving. Di Maria, who joined last summer for 75 million euros, could not unleash his full power in the hands of Van Gaal, Manchester United also wanted to sell him, Paris Saint-Germain wanted to take over the market, "Angel" has a strong personal strength, served Ronaldo and Messi in Real Madrid and the Argentine national team respectively, and has achieved good results. But the Chinese media are worried that if he really goes to Paris, will it affect Chen Zihua's position?
Chen Zihua is not worried about this at all, because the positions of the two are a little different, in Paris, Chen Zihua plays in the middle, while Di Maria is always on the left wing, and the two will not form a conflict.
With all this hype, the transfer market can be regarded as lively, but it is only thunder, and the rain has not yet fallen. Overall, this year's transfer market has been a lot quieter than last year.
On June 27, the Chinese consortium acquired a 99.93% stake in AC Milan for 740 million euros, and the century-old giants officially became a Chinese team. In the follow-up, the two sides will complete the transfer one after another, Li Hongyong has not taken office immediately, and the owner of AC Milan will still be Berlusconi in the short term.
Although there are still some formalities to be completed, Milan already have a part of the upfront capital injection, in short, it is possible to buy players. Of course, some people are going to leave the team before they buy.
Keisuke Honda was the first to leave, and after Galliani's loss, Keisuke Honda is no longer favored and will return to CSKA Moscow, with the number 10 jersey left to the new owner. This is followed by Robilio, who has moved to Guangzhou Evergrande on a free transfer at the end of his contract, followed by Matri, Muntari, Pazzini, Essien and others. There is also Bonella, with whom AC Milan will terminate his contract.
Someone goes out, someone comes in, and now AC Milan has been determined to belong to Li Hongyong, but the transfer of the team has not completely ended, and there is only one upfront investment in funds, to put it bluntly: Milan can spend a lot of money to buy people, but it is not up to the level of Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City and other teams, all positions are strengthened at one time.
This is why Inzaghi told Zhang Shujie that AC Milan will take two years to fully recover, the key is here, the complete transfer of the team is a very complicated process, and it will be completed by the end of the year at the earliest.
The current AC Milan has Yan Tao pressing on the backline, and this position can be ignored for the time being, they have to consider the midfield and the front, which must be strengthened, otherwise they don't want to qualify for the Champions League next season. On July 2, AC Milan officially announced that it had reached an agreement with La Liga club Sevilla to sign Colombian striker Baca for a transfer fee of 30 million euros, a five-year contract and an annual salary of 3.5 million euros. This transfer is the most expensive transfer for AC Milan in recent years, but it is not worth mentioning in world football.
However, just a week later, AC Milan's next transfer plan shocked the world, and they publicly stated that they wanted to buy Bayern striker Zhang Shujie!
