"Karim, Manchester City are going to make an offer for you...... The salary they offer is huge, £3 million, which is double what you get now! This price is estimated that Lyon can only be reluctantly given, how about it, do you want to go to Manchester City? ”

Listening to the excited voice of the agent on the other end of the phone, Benzema was a little stunned.

For the French striker of Algerian descent, he prefers to join Real Madrid, just like his predecessor Zidane, Real Madrid is the team he has always wanted to join, but at this time, Manchester City has made a move on him - for this team, Benzema has no feelings, but now Manchester City's head coach is Dick, and this season is recruiting to attack the Champions Cup, about this, Benzema will not fail to notice.

For a young player, they actually have a lot of options, like Benzema, who can go to a place for a high salary now, or play for another year at Lyon to mature himself and then join a stronger team, and in the same way, he can choose to go to a club that is not so good, but can give more money......

Karim Benzema is an ambitious player, and his choice was to join Real Madrid when he matures, but now, the appearance of Manchester City has given him another option, which is to move this season, to go to the most amazing manager of the moment, Dick, to attack some more important honors.

Under Dick, he may not be the main force, but Dick is a coach who will win championships and develop players, to his men, Benzema does not feel that he will be condescending, but if he joins Manchester City, with Manchester City's current financial resources, it will be a little difficult to join Real Madrid......

"Let's wait and see, at least see if the club will agree to my departure, and then see the conditions." Benzema thought about it and gave his opinion, he has always been a very assertive young player.

'That's right, Lyon haven't agreed to City's offer right now, and we can't put pressure on Lyon because of that, it's not very good.' The agent also calmed down and said to Benzema.

After hanging up, Benzema fell into deep thought.

And at this time, Olas rejected Dick's first offer, reasoning: "Benzema is Lyon's wealth and not for sale, and we will not sell him for money." ”

Hearing this response, Dick laughed - not for sale? Where did Lyon come from, it was nothing more than that he felt that Manchester City's offer was not so tempting......

Soon, City made their second offer: "£25 million." ”

The price is more than 30 million euros, for the current Ligue 1, it is not easy for a player to sell such a high price, you must know that last year's bid king also went to Manchester City, that is, Ribery, his value is only 25 million pounds, when he heard this offer, Marseille was immediately moved, and then agreed to Manchester City's offer......

And now Benzema has only one season of outstanding performance, unlike Ribery, who has had two seasons plus a good performance in the World Cup, Manchester City has offered such a price, which can be called sincere.

In the face of such a price, Olas began to be moved, he knew that he could continue to take a little more, so he had no reason not to agree, even if Benzema could continue last season's performance or even perform better, his price would not exceed 40 million euros, in this regard, Aolas's judgment is also very accurate, and in the past two years, there are not many clubs in the European transfer market that will spend money regardless of the consequences, especially young players like Benzema, such a price has almost reached a limit.

To be honest, if it weren't for an upstart like Manchester City, I am afraid that he would not have smashed a young player under the age of twenty-one like this.

Of course, Olas also knows that since Dick will spend so much money on a young player, then the future of this young player must be very good, but in the final analysis, Lyon cannot stay with Benzema for too long, and in a year or two, there will not be a transfer market that is worth too much more than now.

Perhaps Benzema himself would prefer to go to Real Madrid, but for Aolas, no matter who he sells to, it is the same, and he doesn't mind selling Benzema to Manchester City as long as he can sell it for a sufficient price.

So Olas said he could sit down and talk.

In the following time, the two sides began to tug of war on the specific amount of the transfer fee, and Dick would not throw money indiscriminately, he told Lyon that even if it was another year, no team would pay more, and they would not spend a price that exceeded the current player's value to buy people, and the current price is exaggerated enough.

In the end, after bargaining, Lyon agreed to Manchester City's offer of 27 million pounds, about 35 million euros, this figure is actually not advantageous to Manchester City, because after a year in history, Benzema transferred to Manchester City, worth 35 million euros, although there are 6 million euros in addition, but in the following time, Lyon did not get the money, because in the following year, Benzema's appearance opportunities in Real Madrid were not stable, and Real Madrid was not able to get any decent championships, It wasn't until Jose Mourinho took charge that they won a Copa del Rey title from Barcelona.

After Lyon agreed to Manchester City's offer, the next thing to do was Benzema himself.

"I believe you have the quality to establish yourself in Manchester City, but you must know that Manchester City has a lot of good players now, no one can guarantee that they will have the main force, but now Manchester City's standard striker is only three, plus you only have four, you and Torres and Di Natale, in my mind the status is the same, you will definitely get no less opportunities, and next season we will play more games, everyone will have a lot of opportunities...... I don't dare say it's going to be right, but I'll tell you it's not a wrong choice, put in a good performance and we'll have some big trophies this season. ”

Dick was very frank and told Benzema that in his mind, Benzema's status is an important player, but he will not be the absolute main force, although he needs to compete with Torres and Di Natale, but there are not many opportunities to play.

As for personal treatment, Benzema already knows it, he has no opinion on this salary, and at his age, even if he goes to the best team, he will not get a higher salary than this.

"What I want to know, Mr. Dick, is what you think of me as a player." Benzema asked, and he is now more concerned about that.

"You? A very well-rounded striker, who can not only score goals, but also pull and play, and in that you are very close to Torres, but Torres is closer to the goal, you have more range of movement. Your characteristics are different from Torres and Di Natale, Di Natale is a pure goalscorer, Torres can contribute a lot, and you, can contribute more, of course, in terms of goal threat and personal ability, you and Torres still have a certain gap, but you are still young, there is still room for growth. I don't have any prejudice against any player, but for the players I admire, I let them know how to get to the top of their game, and you, that's the kind of player. ”

Hearing Dick's words, Benzema's face also had a hint of excitement, after all, this is Dick's recognition of him, in the current European football, the player recognized by Dick, that is, the golden sign, will definitely have his outstanding place.

"I don't think there's any reason why I shouldn't agree to your invitation...... I'm happy to be able to play in the Premier League. ”

Benzema stood up and then extended his hand to Dick.

"I'm glad you were able to see that." Dick laughed and shook Benzema's hand: "It's a smart choice, you know, this season, we are going to attack the Champions Cup, and I think we have a good chance of winning the championship...... I've won a trophy at any club in at least two years, and at Manchester City it's no different. ”

Soon, after the transfer window opened, Manchester City announced several of their signings for the season.

10 million pounds, the core of the Portuguese national team midfielder Deco transferred from Barcelona, 30 million pounds, the Brazilian national team right-back, Dortmund's main right-back, Dick's old Alves joined Manchester City, 27 million pounds, the best team in Ligue 1 last season, the promising newcomer Benzema, joined Manchester City from Lyon.

These three signings are also all the signings of Manchester City this season, and unlike last season's buying spree, Dick continued his transfer method this season, that is, a large number of changes in the first season, and a targeted purchase of several important players in the second season, and this season is no exception.

Defenders, midfielders, forwards, these three players cost Manchester City 67 million pounds, and in terms of sales, only Joel Luka went to Tottenham for 12 million pounds, oh, and the other one, that is, former England international Vassell bought out his contract and then joined a team from Qatar on a free transfer - the team is said to have given Vassell a satisfactory salary, thus bringing the former England international to the Middle East and once again play a part in the development of Asian football.

With only three players bought, the net investment reached 55 million pounds, and compared to last season, although Manchester City did not buy a few people this season, it is full of gold - of course, it is money money.

'I don't think we're going to buy any more guys, we bought a lot of players last season and they've been very good, and with the addition of three top players this season, City have enough strength to play in all competitions...... It's going to be a busy summer and I'm glad I set aside time for my vacation. ”

Dick announced in an interview that Manchester City's transfer has been terminated, for which he is sure that there is still 145 million pounds left in this season's transfer fee, plus the remaining 64 million pounds from last season, this huge amount of 209 million pounds has been transferred to a separate account, when Dick leads the team to win the Champions Cup, this money, this money, will be Dick's own.

Even Mansour thinks that it is not easy for Dick to actually get this money, because the contract says that he will win the Champions Cup this season, if there is no such restriction, if Dick drags on for a few years, saves a transfer fee of 100 million a year and then accumulates it, even Mansour will not be such a wronged leader......
