Sami Khedira was born on 4 April 1987 and played for Stuttgart in the Bundesliga from 2005 to 2010, winning the Bundesliga title in 2006-07. After the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Real Madrid introduced the German midfielder, with Real Madrid won the La Liga title, the Spanish Super Cup, the Spanish Copa del Rey and the Champions League, although it was once the absolute main force of Real Madrid, but this season, Khedira suffered frequent injuries, performance average, his contract with Real Madrid expired this summer, and the two sides have not reached an agreement on a contract renewal. While a number of big clubs were vying for the German star, Blackburn came out on top to get Khedira.
According to Blackburn's official website, Khedira will officially become a member of the Roses from July 1, 2015, and his contract expires on June 30, 2019.
The addition of Khedira will give Blackburn Rovers a boost in midfield, and as he will be a free agent, Arthur will not have to spend any transfer fees on Khedira, and Transfermarkt's valuation of Khedira has reached 20 million euros, which means that Blackburn will save a lot of transfer expenses.
Blackburn Rovers have officially announced the signing of substitute goalkeeper Trapp, and now they have announced the news of Khedira's arrival, and it can be said that the Serie A champions have been very efficient in the transfer market this summer.
The introduction of two German players in a row can also show that Klopp has begun to play his role in the team's transfer.
Blackburn Rovers have always been sellers in the transfer market, and this time, they uncharacteristically had two signings in the transfer market, which was somewhat difficult to adapt to, but soon Arthur's team fell out of their true nature
On June 30, Manchester City announced on its official website that the team officially signed De Bruyne from Blackburn, according to "Sky Sports", De Bruyne's transfer fee reached 70 million pounds, and the two sides signed a six-year contract.
De Bruyne was born on June 28, 1991 and is now 24 years old. De Bruyne is a Genke academy graduate, in 2012 he joined Blackburn Rovers for 7 million pounds, at first was not reused by Ancelotti, in the 2012-13 season he only made 9 appearances for the Roses, until Klopp arrived gradually became the main force, in the past two seasons, De Bruyne scored 20 goals in 67 appearances, last season De Bruyne led the team to win the League Cup and FA Cup, he handed over 16 goals and 18 assists luxury statistics.
Kevin De Bruyne's impressive performances in England have caught the attention of a number of big clubs, with Manchester City being the club most interested in Tintin. Although Blackburn Rover's sporting director Monchi has repeatedly declared in the media that De Bruyne is not for sale for the team, Blackburn Rovers finally gave up resistance in the face of Manchester City's repeated price increases. De Bruyne was not in the squad for Blackburn's home game against Schalke in the pre-season warm-up game, and he flew to Manchester for a medical as soon as possible after the game.
Manchester City announced on their official website today that they have signed Kevin De Bruyne to a six-year contract, and Tintin will wear Manchester City's No.17 shirt for the new season. In terms of transfer fees, the figure is a staggering 70 million pounds, about 96.5 million euros, and De Bruyne's value is infinitely close to Ronaldo and other top stars, so this is also Arthur's agreement to sell De Bruyne to.
Kevin De Bruyne is the all-time leader of Manchester City with a transfer fee of £70 million, and the top bidder in the European transfer market this summer.
Speaking to Manchester City's official website, the Belgian said: "As a player, I want to be at the highest level. I hope that at the end of the season, I can help the team win some titles and everyone will be happy. I think that's the most important thing for the club and the fans. ā
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini spoke highly of De Bruyne: "I am very happy to sign De Bruyne and I am convinced that his return to the Premier League will be a great success. We need some special players in our team and Kevin De Bruyne is what we need, mentally, physically, tactically and technically, he is a perfect fit for City. We like to play attractive attacking football and Kevin De Bruyne will help us to play on all four fronts. ā
De Bruyne's departure will not have much impact on Blackburn, because in addition to the old Lampard, there are Coutinho and Rakitic who can be qualified in this position, and Arthur is also ready to promote the reserve team's 18-year-old Deli Alli to the first team this season, so De Bruyne's departure has not worried Klopp.
However, with multiple fronts and possible injury concerns, Blackburn Rovers brought in an attacking midfielder.
On July 1, Blackburn officially announced that the team signed French midfielder Payet from Marseille for a transfer fee of 11 million pounds, equivalent to 15.5 million euros. After passing a medical examination, Payet signed Blackburn to a five-year contract with an option to extend for a further year.
Payet told Blackburn Rovers: "Blackburn showed that they really want me, both the chairmen and the manager gave me that feeling. It's very important for me and I want to join a team that has a clear plan for the future, and Blackburn's plan is in line with my ambitions. ā
The 28-year-old, who joined Marseille from Lille for ā¬11 million in the summer of 2013, was impressed in Ligue 1 last season, scoring seven goals and providing as many as 17 assists in 36 league appearances. Payet, who previously played for Nantes and Saint-Etienne, has made 14 appearances for the French national team, scoring one goal.
Blackburn already have five French players after bringing in Payet, but it seems that Arthur is not too much, and soon the Roses have added another French international.
Also on July 1, that is, before and after Payet, Blackburn's official website was refreshed again, announcing the signing of Caen midfielder N'Golo Kante, and the two sides signed a four-year contract for a transfer fee of 7 million pounds, equivalent to 9.6 million euros.
The 24-year-old French midfielder, born in Blackburn Rovers in 1991, moved to Caen from Bollegni in 2013. In two seasons, he played 82 games for Caen, contributing six goals and five assists. N'Golo Kante's defensive sweep against the sky, his ability to play the ball consistently, is similar to that of former Chelsea midfielder Claude Makellele. The French midfielder, who is only 169 cm tall, is not only flawless defensively, but also quite good in attack.
It is worth mentioning that after signing Kante, Blackburn will almost have a complete French central axis: Griezmann + Martialpaye Pogba + Kante Varane, and these six people are also the absolute main force of the French national team.
It can be said that the Blackburn gang, which accounts for most of the starting force of the French team, will become the biggest force in the French national team, and to some extent will determine the ultimate heights that the host country can achieve at the European Championship in France next year.
Because of Bentley's unexpected retirement and De Bruyne's transfer, Blackburn's midfield needs to be different, Hernandez, Harry Kane, Neymar, Mahrez, Griezmann and Anthony Martial's forward lineup can be said to be overcrowded.
Unlike the other five who are all born in the 90s, Hernandez, a 27-year-old striker born in 1988, can already be regarded as a veteran, and Hernandez, who is unwilling to be overtaken by a bunch of little guys, asked the team for a transfer for the first time this summer.
Although he wanted to keep Hernandez as a super substitute, in order to give Martial and other youngsters more opportunities to play, Arthur still agreed to the transfer request.
Hernandez can't be a regular at Blackburn, but he's definitely in demand in the transfer market.
Just half a month after Blackburn put Hernandez up for sale, the Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen officially announced the official signing of Mexican striker Hernandez, who has the nickname of "Little Pea", for a transfer fee of 20 million pounds.
Hernandez left Blackburn Rovers to land in the Bundesliga, signing a three-year contract with Bayer Leverkusen. At the pharmaceutical factory, Little Pea gets the No. 7 jersey.
The 27-year-old came through the Mexican club Guadalajara before landing in Europe to join Blackburn Rovers in the summer of 2010. Although the little peas under Ancelotti did not occupy the main position, they have always been loved and trusted, and have repeatedly scored on key occasions to play a role as a surprise player. However, after Klopp took over, Hernandez became less playing time and gradually became marginalized.
In 157 competitive games for Blackburn, Hernandez scored 59 goals and provided 20 assists. In terms of national team, Hernandez has played 74 international games for the Mexican national team, scoring an astonishing 40 goals and is also the most reliable scoring point in Mexico's frontcourt.
Hernandez has been looking for a home since submitting his transfer request, and in the end, Bayer Leverkusen of the Bundesliga has won the favor from a crowd of contenders.
Bayer Leverkusen's sporting director Worrall welcomed Hernandez's arrival: "He's a very fast striker, he's very strong and he's very technical. With him we will be more varied in attack and I'm glad he chose Bayer Leverkusen. The Bundesliga needs such great players. ā
Hernandez himself expressed his expectations for the new environment and the new team in the Bundesliga: "I played in the Premier League, which is the best league in Europe, and now I want to go through the Bundesliga. I've heard a lot about the great stadiums in Germany and their very loyal fans. The Bundesliga is an attacking league and that appeals to me. It's great to play for a team like Bayer Leverkusen, which is a great opportunity for me and hopefully to do well here. ā
Hernandez's departure came as an unexpected episode for Blackburn Rovers this summer, and they were soon back on their path to reinforcements. (To be continued.) )
