"Set a small goal first, let's say, I will earn 100 million first. "Recently, Wang Jianlin, chairman of Wanda Group, said in an interview that unexpectedly became popular in China.www.biquge.info

Now, with the official opening of the annual summer transfer window, world football has set a "small goal" of 100 million euros!

This summer's transfer in football officially announced that football has entered the era of 100 million! The arms race and the four-yearly European Championship have become the main reasons for the boom in the market.

As a benchmark for measuring the activity of the transfer market, the Premier League can be described as hot this summer, with 13 of the Premier League's 20 teams breaking the all-time record for signings.

This summer, including the Manchester Twins, Chelsea, and Everton, many traditional giants in the Premier League have changed their managers, and Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, Conte and other famous coaches have set off an arms race as soon as they took office. Jose Mourinho brought in Eric Bailly, Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan, Pep Guardiola signed the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Nolito and Leroy Sane for the Blues, while Antonio Conte signed Belgium international Michy Batshuayi for the Blues.

Even Arsene Wenger, who has always been conservative, has been spurred by strong opponents to be generous this summer, spending 100 million yuan to sign Xhaka, Perez and Mustafi and other strong reinforcements. Leicester City, the runners-up of the league last season, are hoping to go one step further in the Champions League, in addition to bringing in Algerian striker Slimani, Mendy and Moussa from the Portuguese Super League for a record price of 30 million pounds. The 20 Premier League teams have spent more than €1.4 billion in the transfer market this summer, a staggering figure.

In addition to the Premier League, the arms race in Serie A this summer is also fierce, affected by Higuain's blockbuster transfer and Suning's entry into Inter Milan, forming a rare large-scale investment in recent years, beating the Bundesliga and La Liga to become the second highest investment league. Juventus and Inter Milan spent 162 million euros and 113 million euros respectively. Roma is also a big spend, spending 98.1 million euros on buyers, ranking third. Napoli is in fourth place with 73.5 million euros spent.

As the leading leaders of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich finalized two of the most important signings as early as the European Championship, Hummels and Renato Sanchez, which made them really beautiful. La Liga twin heroes Real Madrid and Barcelona are showing completely opposite trends, the Galaxy Battleship is mainly stable, and there is almost no action except for recovering Asensio, and Barcelona is spending 120 million to recruit Paco, Gomez and other 6 strong reinforcements, which is not at all as tight as the outside world speculates.

In addition to the intensifying arms race in the leagues, there is no doubt that the quadrennial European Championship is also an economic yardstick and the best stage for players from all walks of life in the world to gild. In this much-anticipated football feast, even if you're just an unknown player, it's perfectly possible to have a successful "grassroots season" as long as you show up well enough to attend this tournament, and this summer's European Championship in France will be no exception.

It is undeniable that the European Championship has indeed spawned a lot of transfers, which has caused the value of many players to skyrocket, such as Michy Batshuayi, Andre Gomez, Joao Mario and so on. Before the European Championships, Belgian Michy Batshuayi was more impressed by fans as a "rumored superstar", but with the end of his trip to France with the Red Devils, his value rose sharply and finally became Conte's first signing since taking charge of Chelsea for 40 million euros. Andre Gomez and Joao Mario, the two humerus ministers who helped Portugal win the cup, are even more "leaping into the dragon gate" and marrying into the two giants of Barcelona and Inter Milan. Even French defender Sissoko, who impressed in the European Championship final, was sold for a high price of 35 million euros from the Premier League.

From the many player transactions completed this summer, it is not difficult to see that the European Championship in France does have the "ability" to help the player's value rise. This summer, we've witnessed the excitement of the European Championships in France, as well as the madness of the annual summer transfer window.

However, having said that, tournaments have always been a "double-edged sword" for players, and we have indeed witnessed many "grassroots" "appreciation" successes, but who can guarantee that this is not a flash in the pan?

The Premier League became the biggest buyer of the summer window, spending more than €1.3 billion on transfers, the highest among any league. The declining Serie A league has also become a big buyer in the transfer market, driven by Juventus and Inter Milan, and the second largest purchase cost. It is worth mentioning that the Championship ranks fifth in the league buying list, higher than Ligue 1, one of the top five leagues in Europe.

The Premier League has been awarded huge TV contracts for the new season, and teams have seen a surge in revenue. This has also led to a huge investment in the investment of all teams in the Premier League. There are four teams that have invested more than 100 million euros, of which Manchester City has spent 230 million euros on the purchase, ranking first. Manchester United came in second with €185 million, while Chelsea and Arsenal were in third and fourth place with €141 million and €113 million respectively. Liverpool have the fifth-highest purchase cost among Premier League teams with €79.9 million, while Leicester City also earned €74.5 million to rank sixth.

The biggest deal of Manchester City's €230 million came from Blackburn.

On July 15, just after the end of this year's European Championship, Manchester City officially confirmed that Mahrez joined Manchester City. The two sides signed a five-year contract for a transfer fee of up to £49 million.

The deal for Mahrez was not actually planned by Blackburn, or rather not expected by Klopp.

Back on the morning of July 12, Riyad Mahrez was driving his Land Rover to the Blackburn Rover. At this moment, his cell phone rang. Mahrez picked up the phone and replied: "Good morning, I'm on my way to training. ”

Jurgen Klopp was on the other end of the line, who informed Mahrez: "Okay, come to training, but you don't have to play on the pre-season tour, we've accepted an offer." ”

Riyad Mahrez has been out for two days this week, and speculation is rife about whether he will travel with the team on the Blackburn Asia Pacific Tour. On 8 July, Mahrez said he was unwell before training and Blackburn sent a doctor to Mahrez's home in Merseyside for a detailed check-up, and the medical team advised him not to attend training the next day. Some commentators have seen Mahrez's absence as a ploy to pressure the club on a transfer, with Blackburn having a psychological price tag of around £50 million.

But at this moment, after receiving Klopp's final call, Mahrez was very painful in his heart.

Ahead of the 2016 season, Mahrez was adamant that he would stay at Blackburn. That day, on the eve of the Tottenham game, Jurgen Klopp said: "Blackburn have offered Riyad Mahrez a very lucrative contract, unbelievable for a young player. This short sentence finally ended Mahrez's Blackburn career.

Riyad Mahrez and his team are very confused, believing that Blackburn Rovers are pressuring for a contract extension by tarnishing the player's image. At the same time, he was very annoyed by the idea that he couldn't get a regular starter. Klopp's remarks did not catalyze his desire to prove himself to doubters, but rather backfired.

More rumors began to spread, initially saying that he would renew his contract in a week, which was later extended to a month. But the real situation is not so groundless, and since it is not from the player's side, there are naturally other channels.

Riyad Mahrez is in an awkward position at Blackburn Rovers, and he often has to endure Klopp's reality after Neymar, Bale, Griezmann, Raheem Sterling and others, a situation that Mahrez hates to see.

But what can Mahrez do?

Mahrez is naturally inferior to the iron-clad Neymar, Bale and Griezmann in terms of strength, and emotionally speaking, he is even worse than the England youngster Raheem Sterling, who came from Blackburn's academy.

Rotation, rotation and rotation, Mahrez had enough of the process, so at the instigation of his agent, he was ready to leave the team and go in search of a team that desperately needed him.

After rejecting two offers from Manchester City, Blackburn accepted a third offer of a whopping £49 million.

Then Klopp made the call.

"Let Sergio Aguero be a substitute? Wow, I've really come to the right place. After knowing he was about to join Manchester City, Mahrez joked to his friend.

Yes, in Mahrez's view, Blackburn, the most successful club of the 21st century, is like a besieged city, where countless players who aspire to fame and glory want to enter, but too many famous players want to escape.

This time Mahrez escaped from inside, and he told himself: I am not a deserter, I just want to change the battlefield.

Arthur has long stopped interfering in Blackburn's player transfer, and Mahrez's transfer was only known later, and Arthur is a little unhappy with the deal's approach to Manchester City.

In Arthur's view, only players that Blackburn doesn't want, and an upstart like Manchester City can buy them, and this time they are guilty of Arthur's taboo.

provoked Arthur, Manchester City still wants to be safe?

On the evening of August 3, Blackburn officially announced that the team had signed Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus, signing a five-year contract for a transfer fee of 30 million pounds.

Blackburn Rovers officially said that although the 19-year-old Jesus has attracted the attention of several top clubs in the world, such as Manchester City, he finally chose the Rose Army, and he will continue to play in Palmeiras on loan until December 2016, and officially report to Blackburn in January 2017.

It is reported that the Brazilian star, who was born in 1997, rejected the olive branch thrown by Manchester City and Barcelona in order to be able to join Blackburn, who has Neymar and Coutinho.

Yes, Blackburn signed Jesus for a high price of 30 million pounds, because he was originally the target of Manchester City, and even because of the existence of Guardiola, Manchester City was about to successfully kiss Jesus, but under the interference of Arthur, Neymar, who is also a member of the Brazilian Olympic team, personally persuaded Jesus, and Coutinho also called Jesus, and finally changed the latter's decision.

Gabriel Jesus is a well-rounded player who can play in three positions up front, as a left winger, right winger and centre-forward, and has also been called up to Brazil's Olympic squad this summer.

Gabriel Jesus has scored 19 goals in 30 appearances for Palmeiras this season, which has earned him the attention of a number of clubs across Europe.

Commenting on joining Blackburn, he said: "Blackburn Rovers is one of the best clubs in the world and I am very happy to be able to sign for the club. There are a lot of great players here and I can learn a lot. ”

"I'm really looking forward to showing Blackburn the fans what I'm capable of and I think we're going to create a great future together."

Black's signing of Gabriel Jesus is not entirely a sign of Manchester City, but more because Jurgen Klopp is concerned that the team only has Harry Kane as a full-fledged centre-forward, and needs to bring in a pure centre-forward.

Although Gabriel Jesus was the kind of person who could have squeezed Aguero to the bench as soon as he joined Manchester City, he could only join the team as soon as January, far from quenching his thirst, and Klopp needed Monchi to find a centre-forward for him.

It was difficult for Monchi to be able to have the fighting power without affecting Jesus' position in the team, but in the end he found a solution.

On August 8, Blackburn Rovers officially announced that the team signed former Arsenal, Tottenham striker and Togolese striker Adebayor. Bam Adebayo has not signed with any team since his contract with Crystal Palace was terminated in June, so Blackburn Rovers signed him for free this time.

During his spells with Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace, Bam Adebayor scored 97 goals in the Premier League and has been unemployed since his contract was terminated by Crystal Palace.

Blackburn have only signed Bam Adebayor to a contract until January, with the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations officially kicking off, with Togo international Adebayo set to leave the club for the Africa Cup of Nations.

However, if Bam Adebayo performs well at Blackburn, he will also receive an extension of his contract with the club, meaning that Blackburn will sign him for another year until the end of next season.

Adebayo's strength is naturally not much of a problem as a substitute for Harry Kane, although his character is a small trouble, but it is only half a year at most, and Monchi's signing can be described as a stroke of genius. (To be continued.) )
