Birmingham also had good news at this time, the previous anxious transfer finally made progress again, the number one target Van Dijk because of the last injury, received a cold reception in the transfer market, Southampton, who was waiting for the price to sell, waited hard, and did not usher in a better offer, even so they refused to lower the standard at all, 50 million pounds, love to buy or not, it's a big deal to sell next year, after all, Van Dijk's strength is there, and next year he will be in good physical condition and may sell at a high price. The 26-year-old Van Dijk himself wants to change the environment to pursue a breakthrough in competition, and is also very satisfied with the most active Aston Villa, and even proposed in a meeting with Lamb that he can not pursue a high salary, as long as it is higher than the current salary of 50,000 pounds, Li Haolong learned of this dynamic, and handed the decision to Lamb, Lamb gritted his teeth and finally reached an agreement with Southampton, 50 million pounds to be paid in two installments, a down payment of 20 million, and the rest to be paid next year, for this convention, Southampton agreed, Van Dijk signed a five-year contract with the club, and his weekly salary did not treat him too badly, reaching 90,000 pounds, liquidated damages of 100 million, and the image rights are generally 55 cents except for those two special players. After successfully winning Van Dijk, the Villa team accidentally set another world record, the world record for the transfer of defenders, breaking the previous 47.5 million pounds held by John Stones.
Isco's transfer has also been negotiated smoothly, Real Madrid has successfully acquired Verratti, who is somewhat unhappy with coach Emery, for 60 million euros, and has not done too much entanglement in Isco's transfer fee, and the Villa team has also won the technical master in two phases for 40 million pounds. Isco is also very interested in the Villa team with Griezmann and other technical players, hoping to see a different football atmosphere in the Premier League, and negotiated personal conditions with the Villa team early, in 2013 he transferred to Real Madrid as a European golden boy with an annual salary of only 2 million euros, and he is not the absolute main force, so it is reasonable to have an idea. Of course, the Villa team will not be stingy with high salaries for such players, offering him a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, 6.11 million euros, which is almost tripled.
Tielemans's parent club Anderlecht is tired of the transfer that has been rumored for several seasons but there is no follow-up, and the club's tentative offer of 26 million pounds actually agreed, but 26 million pounds is required to be paid in a lump sum, which also makes Lamb regret it, because this offer is a cautious offer based on previous transfer rumors, and many teams have made a lot of 30 million offers, and the 20-year-old Tielemans got a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds and a 5-year contract. Liquidated damages of 60 million pounds.
There is still nothing to be achieved in the forward line, even if he is optimistic about Embolo, Schalke's 50 million euros still discourages the Villa team, Lukaku was successfully won by Manchester United without Griezmann for 60 million pounds, and Ibrahimovic, who is a year older, needs a new center forward to replace him.
In addition to the planned transfer and the unexpected news, Villa has gained another little demon, the English League One Walsall team pushed the youngster Rick Henry for 10 million pounds, the 20-year-old black left-back was called the next Ashley Cole a few years ago, and the ups and downs of Walsall in the past two years have not achieved the expected results, but fortunately, it is still good to get a little demon at this price, not to mention that Amavi also needs a real left-back substitute, Lamb quickly signed him, The weekly salary is 20,000 yuan, a 5-year contract, and the liquidated damages are 40 million.
The four new signings have already undergone medical examinations and signed contracts in Birmingham and are on their way to China with Lamb. There is also a newcomer in this line, because Grealish has returned to the UK, and Andre Green has been urgently transferred from the reserves, born on May 2, 1998, he is 180cm tall and weighs 71kg, he is a very fast left winger, he joined the Aston Villa Academy as early as 2006 at the age of 8, and is also a homegrown star, in the eyes of the Villa coaching staff, his potential is even higher than Grealish.
The transfer of players also went well, the two young goalkeepers Golini and Sakic, who were not sold by the club, chose a loan model, respectively to Peterborough United and Shrews in the Championship, Elfik, who was once the captain of Bournemouth, chose to return, he only had 3 million pounds when he transferred to Villa, and the Villa team only received a symbolic 1 million, and will meet in the Premier League next season, Richards was bought by another promoted horse, Brighton, for 4 million pounds, and midfielder Gardner joined the Championship Burton team for 3 million, Striker Ayew transferred to Queen's Parade for 8 million, Coggia returned to Ligue 1 Lorient for 13 million euros, plus Bacuna, who previously transferred to Newcastle for 18 million pounds, a total of 45 million pounds were recovered, almost in exchange for an Isco. At this point, the team's summer transfer window is basically over, and if there are no special circumstances, this is all the players for next season.
The performance of the Lamb team in this transfer is great, Li Haolong in addition to a list, and Griezmann's transfer is busy, almost as a hands-off shopkeeper. The new Lamb burst into an unprecedented enthusiasm and showed great efficiency, the players only had 10 days in China to finalize the transfer within the target, and when Lamb arrived at City C with five new players, the Villa team had only been in the football school for two days.
