However, Blackburn Rovers was the first to announce a transfer message: Greek defender Dellas will bid farewell to Blackburn Rovers this summer to join Greek giants AEK Athens.

Speaking to Blackburn Rovers, Dras was full of emotion: "For the past year, I've only been able to watch games as an outsider, and it made me realise how much love I love for football and how strong it feels to have a stable role on the pitch. Football is a big part of my life, I love it so much and without it I would have lost myself. ”

"At the moment I am in the prime of my career and I want to make progress every day in this period. I want to experience what it's like to be needed on the pitch and I want to give it my all for my club. That's why I think about it, I don't want to make money on the bench for nothing, I want to be an active part of the game, just like I did at the Euros last year. I hope you can understand my decision. ”

The 29-year-old, who made the switch from Roma to Blackburn Rovers last summer, was instrumental in Greece's European Championship triumph last season, making just 12 appearances for them last season, starting just four times.

Athens AEK paid a transfer fee of £1 million for Delas, and Monchi was not demanding, after all, Blackburn got Delas for a measly £700,000 last year.

While Dellas is not Blackburn's main rotation, his presence is a strong safeguard at the back, with the experienced defender always ready to help.

In order to make up for the departure of Dellas, and to find a suitable replacement for the aging Stam, Blackburn Rovers quickly identified a promising young centre-back in the transfer market.

At the same time as announcing the departure of Dellas, Blackburn officially announced the official signing of defender Nemanja Vidic from Spartak Moscow in the Russian Premier League.

The two sides signed a four-year contract with a two-year option and the defender became Blackburn's first transfer spending since the summer – Barthez did not spend a single cent on Blackburn's transfer after joining the club.

According to the Daily Mail, Vidic's transfer fee reached £7 million.

On the second day of the official announcement, Vidic completed the pre-franchise physical examination at Blackburn Rovers Laboratory, which also cleared the barrier to joining.

Jose Mourinho has a very high opinion of Vidic, saying: "Vidic is a very talented centre-back, he has improved a lot in recent years and has the potential to become one of the best centre-backs in the world. ”

Vidic himself was delighted to be joining Blackburn Rovers, saying, "Joining Blackburn Rovers is a dream come true and I'm always looking forward to playing at the highest level. I want to be the best player I can be and I think that having Jose Mourinho will help me improve in the right way and I can't wait to see my new players and start a new chapter in my career. ”

Born on October 21, 1981 in Užiči, Serbia, Vidic moved to Spartak Moscow FC in 2004 for an unannounced fee, which is the highest player in the Russian Premier League.

In Arthur's previous life, Vidic at his peak was the first air bulwark in the Premier League, and his high-altitude defensive ability even surpassed Terry's, and his defense of Crouch could make Crouch fight for two headers in the whole game.

In January 2006, Manchester United acquired the Serbian centre-back for around £7 million. From the 2006-07 season, the combination of Vidic and Ferdinand became the main force of Manchester United, becoming the first central defender in European football at the time, and Vidic also had the reputation of being the first central defender at that time.

Nemanja Vidic's characteristics are prominent, but his shortcomings are obvious, namely that he is a bit slow to turn, and the goal scored by Samuel Eto'o in the Champions League final is a classic example, but it complements the more similar style of play of the scavenger.

And 7 million pounds can get a qualified successor after Stam's age, and can "cut off" the Premier League rival Manchester United, Arthur is naturally very satisfied.

In the goalkeeper position, Blackburn is one out and one in, and the defender lineup is also one out and one in, and the strength is increasing unabated.

Blackburn's biggest changes in the summer have been in midfield, with two of last season's veterans leaving and two new team-mates arriving.

As early as after the Champions League final, Li Tie and Davies already had rumors about their departure, and it turned out that these rumors were not groundless.

In the early morning of August 8, Blackburn officially announced the departure of Dutch international Edgar Davies and Chinese international Li Tie, the former returned to his old club Ajax, and the latter transferred to Premier League powerhouse Everton.

Davies is 32 years old, and although he joined Blackburn Rovers for a fee last season and won the Premier League title, Blackburn Labs is not optimistic that the veteran will continue to contribute enough in the new season, and Mourinho and Arthur are both inclined to let him move in order to appease Cambiaso in the same position.

In the end, Ajax regained the veteran for £5 million, and Davies also felt a little tired of being out and about, and readily agreed.

Compared with Davies's responsibility, Li Tie's transfer is much simpler, Moyes's phone call and Everton's offer of 3 million pounds, so that Blackburn only raised this figure to 4 million pounds, and the transfer was basically completed.

Although Li Tie was only a member of the rotation at Blackburn last season, only contributing 1 assist in 13 games, his strength is worlds different from his previous life, and his "running immortal" characteristics and midfield attributes are quite appreciated by Moyes, and finally Li Tie turned to the arms of the Toffees when he could not see the future in Blackburn.

After seeing Li Tie's transfer to Everton, Arthur also had to sigh that his fate with Everton could not be changed in two lifetimes.

It's just that Li Tie joined Everton in the previous life, more because of the support of sponsors, but in this life, he relied more on his own strength to let the other party cast an olive branch.

Mourinho intends to promote Ronaldo to the winger position in the new season, so after the departure of Li Tie and Davies, Blackburn's midfield looked a little thin, but Blackburn soon announced two signings.

Blackburn's first new midfield signing was not an immediate strike, but for the team's future personnel reserve - French player Lars Diarra, who plays as a defensive midfielder and can also play as a guest on the right.

In 2004, Diarra's first year as a regular in the team, he was voted the team's best young player of the season, and it was this season that some people began to call him "The New Makelele", and this nickname is enough to reflect Diarra's playing characteristics.

However, he is not enough to compare with Makelele, and Blackburn's £1 million transfer fee is enough to prove his current level.

There is no doubt that without any aura and a low price in Ligue 2, Diarra will not get much chance at Blackburn Rovers this season, and Arthur and Mourinho believe he will play more in the development squad unless there is a large injury situation.

None of Blackburn fans will be satisfied with the departure of Davis and Lee, who have been left with an obscure Las Diarra, but they believe that Arthur, who has had a spectacular trade in the past few seasons, will surprise them, and the later signings will prove their vision.

On the third day of Las Diarra's arrival, Blackburn Rovers updated the transfer information again on their official website, announcing that Figo had joined the club until 30 June 2007 on a contract that would expire on 30 June 2007 and that a press conference would be held today.

Yesterday morning local time in Europe, Figo and his Real Madrid teammates took part in their final training session under the leadership of Luxemburg. In the afternoon, the Portuguese left the hotel where the Galactic Fleet was stationed in Austria and flew to Blackburn to undergo the medical formalities of joining Blackburn.

Figo said: "I'll go to Blackburn Rovers and see if they give me a chance to play. I will have a press conference on Saturday to say goodbye to the fans and unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to say goodbye to the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu. ”

The subsequent medical examination at Blackburn Rovers showed that Figo's physical condition was normal, which completely cleared the last transfer hurdle. Everything is as Real Madrid marketing official Blonzoti previously said, "Blackburn will officially announce the transfer after the medical examination." All agreements have been reached so far and I think Figo will appear in front of the English media on Saturday".

The Spanish media regretted this, and the "Marca" newspaper said that "the first transfer of the galaxy superstar has left".

It took just two days for Figo to travel to Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday to talk to Arthur about yesterday's signing, and the media believe it has something to do with the Portuguese gang in Blackburn's side.

At present, in the Blackburn club, in addition to the main squad of Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco and Carvalho and other Portuguese internationals, coach Mourinho is also Portuguese, with the presence of many fellow countrymen, which is also a major factor attracting Figo.

Under his contract, Figo will earn £2.8 million a year for the first season and £3 million for the second. Real Madrid do not ask Blackburn for any transfer fees. Even so, Real Madrid could save the high salary of 12 million euros left in the last season with Figo.

In the 2005-06 season before Arthur, the first season of the move to Inter Milan, Figo proved that he was not old with a near-perfect performance, adding to the already luxurious Blackburn midfield. (To be continued.) )
