If anyone looks back on the 2013 European summer transfers, it will definitely start with a blockbuster transfer.

Atletico Madrid's number one star, Colombian center forward, Tiger Falcao transferred to Ligue 1 Monaco!

When the Qatari consortium bought Paris Saint-Germain and waved oil coupons in European football, Russian tycoon Rybonorev also followed suit, buying Monaco, a traditional powerhouse in Ligue 1, and began to invest heavily this summer.

Falcao's fourth signing of the season is a testament to Monaco's bare and grandeur in the transfer market, with Ligue 1 upstarts bringing in Kondogbia from Sevilla for €20 million, followed by Hams Rodriguez from Porto for €45 million and Moutinho for €25 million.

That is, before the introduction of Falcao, Monaco had already invested 90 million euros in the transfer market.

In order to get Falcao from Atletico Madrid, Monaco invested another 60 million euros, a total of 150 million euros in the summer, and even offered Falcao an annual salary of 14 million euros, which is another amazing move.

Not only that, but the French media revealed that Monaco are not just content with this, they are also targeting Napoli's Edinson Cavani and Zenit St. Petersburg's Hulk, both of whom are worth a lot of money.

It is said that Zenit has offered Hulk a sky-high price of 60 million euros, and if successful, it will be another amazing transfer.

If Monaco is menacing and aims to challenge the position of the French hegemon Paris Saint-Germain, then Paris Saint-Germain, which also has the support of big conglomerates, is not ambiguous.

After Monaco announced the signing of Falcao, Paris Saint-Germain quickly raised the price and finalized Cavani from Napoli for a transfer fee of 64 million euros, surpassing Falcao in one fell swoop and becoming the new transfer king this summer.

It was only the beginning of June, and as a result, blockbuster transfers came one after another, leaving everyone stunned.

Subsequently, Paris Saint-Germain brought in Marquinhos from Roma, spending 35 million euros, and at the same time targeting Real Madrid, wanting to compete with Manchester City, who also have deep pockets, for Portuguese central defender Pepe.

I've seen local tyrants, but I've never seen such a local tyrant.

The two local tycoons of Ligue 1 quickly detonated the media and fans around the world in a very short period of time, making everyone stunned by their transfer operations, and in European football circles, everyone is also clearly aware that the days of the transfer market have changed.

……

Many people say that European football has a pyramid structure.

The top giants are Real Madrid and Barcelona, followed by Manchester United, Bayern and a number of other giants.

With the outbreak of the Serie A phone gate incident, the giants of Serie A have fallen a lot, coupled with the Italian economic depression, the momentum of the Serie A team has plummeted, and the purchasing power has long been much worse than before.

But in this case, the Premier League is taking advantage of the trend, with an excellent league organizational structure, broadcast fee distribution method, even the relegation team has no weaker than the purchasing power of the upstream teams of other leagues, which makes the Premier League team's ability to recruit by leaps and bounds, and it is a big purchase in major European leagues.

But in any case, Premier League teams still can't shake the pyramid structure, and the big teams are still so attractive to top players.

But now, the rise of Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Monaco has undoubtedly made it clear to everyone that the attractiveness of the giants has become much less attractive than it used to be in the face of money.

Falcao is a very promising scorer in the whole of Europe, playing for Atletico Madrid, which is third in La Liga, but transferred to Monaco in Ligue 1; Edinson Cavani is one of Serie A's top scorers and is also favored by many big clubs, but he moved to Paris Saint-Germain.

Manchester City are even more terrifying, after poaching Chilean engineer Manuel Pellegrini from Malaga to coach, they immediately began to buy on a buying spree in La Liga, with targets ranging from Isco to Ilia Ramendi to Negredo to Keylor Navas, all of whom are La Liga's most favored rookies and stars of the year.

When Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco poached popular stars, Manchester City quietly brought in Brazilian defender Fernandinho from Shakhtar Donetsk, spending 34 million pounds, 40 million euros, which is also a huge amount of money.

This simply shocked the whole European football world.

If ten years ago, Roman Abramovich arrived in the Premier League with a money printing machine, brandished cheques to sign stars, created the Chelsea Iron Army, and built a top European team with money, then now, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco are doing the same, even more fiercely and more influentially.

You must know that without them, or in other words, without the two local tycoons of Ligue 1, excellent stars such as Falcao and Cavani will play in the giants of the four major leagues, and the overall pattern will not change.

But now it's okay, the food on the plate of the giant team, the meat on the mouth was suddenly robbed by the local tyrant team, and the outstanding stars in the entire European summer transfer market suddenly became fewer, and there were more monks and less porridge, and the entire transfer market suddenly became panicked.

According to the analysis of the French team newspaper, it may not be seen much for the time being, but in the next two or three years, looking back on the transfer market in 2013, everyone will be surprised to find that this is the beginning of a big change.

When Manchester City, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain begin to snatch the favoured players of the European giants, greatly weakening the appeal of the giants, then the result is competition, the fiercest and most brutal competition.

Football matches are about the players, and behind the players are the monetary interests.

And for the local tyrants, they are not bad at all.

……

Yang Yang received the news during his trip to Northern Europe, and he also saw the analysis of the team newspaper on his mobile phone, but he had to admire Florentino's prediction more than a year ago.

European football is really starting to change.

Real Madrid's purge last summer, with all its efforts to promote rejuvenation reforms, is preparing for today.

Nowadays, the situation on the outside is turbulent, but the impact on Real Madrid is not great.

Of course, Real Madrid can't be careless, because now it's just starting to grab good stars, then they will start to grab good semi-finished products, then they will start to grab young talents, and finally they will start to grab the academy.

This situation has already gone through once in the turn of the century years, not only have famous stars continued to create sky-high prices, but even many young players have become very sought-after, but in the end it ended in the bankruptcy of the Bundesliga.

The only difference is that this time the competition will be far more fierce and will last longer than at the beginning of the century.

European football is a big market with players moving freely, and it is believed that over time, the impact of this trend will gradually subside, and then return to stability.

As for which giants will be trampled on at that time, no one knows.

The only thing Yang Yang can be sure of is that Real Madrid's life will not be easy, but it will not be too miserable.

……

At a time when the transfer market is turbulent and unpredictable, Real Madrid has been testing and preparing in the transfer market.

Bayern Munich triggered the liquidated damages clause of Dortmund striker Gotze, paying a transfer fee of up to 37 million euros, and at the same time providing Gotze with an annual salary of 7 million euros, poaching the Dortmund striker to the Allianz Arena.

The move took place at the end of April, and Gotze's departure caused Dortmund to change their strategy and try to keep Lewandowski, stopping all teams that coveted the Bosnian striker and turning down all offers.

The strategy of the Hornets is very clear, after selling Gotze, Lewandowski must be retained, which can maintain the competitiveness of the team, after all, Reus alone cannot support Dortmund's frontcourt attack.

Gotze's transfer is also a good opportunity for Chinese player Chen Tao.

Lewandowski stayed, Real Madrid's plan to poach Lewandowski was shattered, and Baldano and the technical team moved the Bosnian center forward from Real Madrid's shortlist and began to try Manchester City's Aguero.

Sergio Aguero had stated after the season that he was interested in Real Madrid's favor, but Manchester City did not want to sell their star at all, so Real Madrid's contact did not have the desired effect.

As a last resort, Baldano began to contact Suarez with Liverpool.

Suarez wants to leave Liverpool is not unusual, he has hinted more than once in the past six months that he may leave the Reds, and after the season, he even said that although he has a contract with Liverpool, he still hopes that Liverpool will consider offers from other teams, especially Real Madrid and Barcelona.

"Every player wants to reach the pinnacle of their career, playing for teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona is the ultimate dream that all players can have."

Suarez says he can bring unreserved energy to the team because he has never been stingy with giving his all, whether at Ajax or Liverpool, he will always be the hardest working player.

"On the first day I joined Ajax, the coach gave me a CD with the video of Yang Yang's game, I was the same age as him, but he had already achieved fame, and I was not famous, but the coaches of Ajax told me that if I learned from him, I would be able to make a name for myself, and I did it, so I have today."

When asked by the media which team Suarez would choose if both Real Madrid and Barcelona wanted him at the same time, the Uruguayan striker did not hesitate to choose Real Madrid.

"Over the years, Yang Yang has been my leader in my professional path, he is my predecessor at Ajax, and my greatest wish over the years is to be able to play side by side with Yang Yang on the pitch, not only for me, but for all the players from Ajax, it is the highest honor."

"So, I hope to follow in his footsteps, from Ajax to Liverpool and from Liverpool to Real Madrid!"

Suarez's public statement undoubtedly aroused the interest of Real Madrid's transfer department, and it was immediately accelerated to put into operation.

At the same time, Messi, who is on vacation in Argentina, has just made a major decision.
