The new season for a professional team definitely doesn't start with the first league game, strictly speaking, it starts on the first of July every year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoFrom this day onwards, the players who have been on leave will be returning to the club to report and the coaches will start their work, and the new signings that the club have previously finalized will join the team on this day to start their new adventure.

Before that, June was the busiest day for brokers.

In the world of football, no one has ever counted a specific number, but we all know and want to believe that the vast majority of player transfers are finalised in June.

During the month, countless agents flew from one end of the world to the other, and countless radio signals about player transfers echoed over Europe, South America, and Africa. In the dead of night, you may still be able to hear them haggling over the phone.

James. After contacting various clubs, Merry still felt that only Bayern Munich was the most suitable for Ribery, so he called Ribery again, introduced the situation to him, and finally expressed his thoughts.

"As things stand, I still think that Real Madrid is not for you, Frank. You said that going there can greatly increase your fame and income, but in fact, this Real Madrid is not Florentino's Real Madrid, this Real Madrid is very civilian, and you go there will not improve your image......"

Merry patiently explained to Ribery the reasons why he was not in favour of choosing Real Madrid.

He convinced Ribery, who decided to choose Bayern Munich among the teams interested in him. Perhaps in terms of overall fame, with the decline of the Bundesliga in recent years, Bayern Munich's fame is also declining, but it is still a well-deserved hegemon in the Bundesliga. Such a team clearly meets Ribery's requirements - to go to the big clubs, to be able to offer a salary that satisfies him, to be able to challenge for the title, not only in the domestic league, but also in the Champions League. Although Bayern Munich will only be able to play in the UEFA Cup this season, no one doubts that they will be able to return to the Champions League next season.

Now that Ribery has made the choice, Bayern Munich are in a good position to do their job, and they have made an offer of €20 million to Metz in the hope of acquiring the team's most recognizable star.

But Metz is not a dirt bun who has never seen money, and the Metz club has always insisted on the business philosophy of discovering young seedlings all over the world, and then cultivating them themselves, and then selling them to other teams after the results are produced, so they are no strangers to selling their own excellent players. Club president Molinari was completely dismissive of Bayern Munich's 20 million offer, saying in an interview with reporters: "Frank is the most important player in our team, he is not for sale!" ”

Who believes? Everyone knows that Ribery's departure from the team is a foregone conclusion, and now it is not for sale?

Don't you just want to raise the price?

Ribery was a little nervous when he heard the club's president's reaction. He remembered that in the previous contract between the two parties, it was specifically stated that if he was leaving, the club could not use malicious price increases to force him to stay. So he asked his agent Merry to contact the club.

Molinari's reply was: "We really don't think two thousand is enough to prove Frank's worth." Since Frank is leaving, wouldn't the high transfer fee be more in line with his status? ”

Bayern Munich did not want to let Ribery go, and they quickly made a second offer - 26 million euros, which is a transfer fee, and if Bayern Munich reaches the last 16 of the Champions League next season (that is, in 08-09, because Bayern Munich in 07-08 played in the UEFA Cup), they will pay Metz 4 million euros. That is to say Frank. Ribery's transfer fee is actually 30 million euros.

Ribery is happy with the transfer fee, although Molinari wants more, but the club and Ribery have an agreement that must be respected. had to agree to Bayern Munich's offer and let the player contact the opposing club.

The matter went quickly, and the personal contract was finalized in just a few days, as long as Ribery flew to Munich for a medical examination after his vacation and signed it.

Then the Metz club officially announced that their star in the team, Frank. Ribery moved to Bayern Munich for a total of 30 million euros.

In the scramble for Ribery, Bayern Munich had the last laugh.

And with this transfer, Ribery has become a wealthy class. Bayern Munich offered him an annual salary of more than 4 million euros after tax, which is much more than he earned when he was in Metz. His annual salary at Metz was €1.14 million before taxes, and his contract at Bayern Munich nearly quadrupled his salary, not including bonuses.

Metz also received a transfer fee of 26 million euros, easing the team's already tight budget.

It's a joy for all.

Only the local media in Metz satirized Ribery for going around in circles and going to a team that was playing in the UEFA Cup. "We are the reigning champions of the UEFA Cup!"

But other media don't see it that way, Bayern Munich's participation in the League Cup is an accident, no one doubts that Bayern Munich will be able to participate in the Champions League next season, and Ribery is not just playing at Bayern Munich for one season. For the voice of the local media in Metz, it is only regarded as a sour grape mentality.

※※※ Just when Metz and Bayern Munich were bargaining for Ribery, Chu Zhongtian also had a club on his side that made an offer to Metz for him. Juventus' offer is 12 million euros.

Not to mention Molinari at this price, even Chu Zhongtian felt that it was an insult to himself - as a giant, do you think that all players should voluntarily lower their prices to join? I'm sorry, I'm not that kind of person.

However, after the news of Juventus' offer was revealed, the Chinese media was excited. There were only some rumors that Juventus was interested in Chu Zhongtian before, and no one dared to say such things because they had no conclusive evidence. Now that Juventus have made an offer, it means that it is true.

Juventus! Nicknamed "The Old Lady", the team also has a large following in China, having won 29 Serie A titles, two UEFA Champions League titles, four Coppa Italia titles, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, three UEFA Cups, four Italian Super Cups, two UEFA Super Cups, two Toyota Cups...... They are the most influential team in Italy, with more fans than AC Milan and Inter Milan. There have been many passing greats in history who have played in the jersey of this team. It is a great honour to be able to play for this team.

If our Chu Zhongtian can play for such a giant team, we don't have to envy the Korean star Park Ji-sung who plays for Manchester United!

Juventus fans in China were the most excited, and they couldn't wait to accept Juventus' invitation on behalf of Chu Zhongtian - "To be able to play for Juventus, even if I want to die immediately, I will do it!" ”

Because neither Juventus nor Metz have disclosed how much the offer is, no one knows Juventus' offer. However, for many Juventus fans, as long as they can have the opportunity to play for Juventus, even if it is to pay for it.

China's media are even more ecstatic, one by one, as if they have been beaten with chicken blood.

"The old woman of Serie A has taken a fancy to Chu Zhongtian! It's close to joining a real giant! Why do you say "really rich"? Because Chelsea, Chu Zhongtian's first professional club, is not a real giant.

"Chinese fans have more expectations for Serie A? Chu Zhongtian has great hopes for a transfer to Juventus! ”

"The teacher is calling, Chu Zhongtian switched to Serie A!"

…… It seems that Chu Zhongtian is going to join Juventus the next day, which has aroused the interest of fans across the country.

A few days later, the news that Metz rejected Juventus' offer came out, which caused domestic fans to scold Metz for not knowing how to lift, delaying the good future of our family Chu Zhongtian.

They didn't know that the person who took the initiative to reject Juventus was Chu Zhongtian.

On the one hand, it is naturally because Juventus's offer really makes Chu Zhongtian feel angry, and this kind of offer is an insult to him. Is a player who led his team to the UEFA Cup, who finished the game with an injury in extremely difficult circumstances and helped the team win the championship worth 12 million euros?

On the other hand, Chu Zhongtian considered it carefully, and after consulting his father, his girlfriend Emily, and his agent Merry, he felt that Juventus was not suitable for him. The overall style of the team, the style of Ranieri as a manager, is not suitable for him. Going to Juventus is not a good choice.

Of course, Ranieri will have some regrets, but I'm sorry that Chu Zhongtian is not familiar with him. This is the end of the story with Juventus, even if Juventus continues to increase the price, he will not consider it. But then again, is the old woman, who has always been budget-conscious, really willing to raise the price for a player who occupies a non-EU spot?

After the story with Juventus is over, the story with Sevilla is here.

Sevilla made an offer of 18 million euros to Metz for Chu Zhongtian. This offer is actually very sincere for Sevillari, because they are not a big team like Real Madrid and Barcelona, and they have a lot of money that cannot be used up.

However, in the eyes of Molinari, this price is still not enough. It turned out that Ribery could sell for 30 million, so Chu Zhongtian should also sell for 30 million.

Chu Zhongtian didn't expect that he could be worth 30 million, in his opinion, 20 million was about the same.

So Molinari didn't say anything when he rejected Sevilla's offer, even though he and the club also had clauses like Ribery's. He has feelings for Metz, even if he leaves, he has to earn as much transfer fee as possible for the team, so that he can pursue the future with peace of mind, and let Metz get benefits, why not do such a good thing?

As a result, Sevilla did not make any further offers. Apparently they think that 18 million is enough, and they can't afford to pay more money and don't want to pay it - 20 million for one person, Sevilla is not Real Madrid or Barcelona, with this money they can buy a lot of people...... And it turns out that they did.

After their unsuccessful pursuit of Chu Zhongtian, they spent four million euros to take a midfielder Seydoux from Ligue 1 Lens. Keita (seydou_keita). Keita is also an excellent defender in Ligue 1, having scored eleven goals in 37 games for Lens last season, making him the best performer in the team. Like Chu Zhongtian, he is a midfielder who can attack and defend well, with a powerful left-footed long-range shot, outstanding physical fitness, good technical ability and tactical awareness, and can play the role of playmaker behind the striker, as well as a left-sided player.

Such a well-rounded midfielder, only four million euros, is much cheaper than Chu Zhongtian...... Sevilla is not a Kaizi, don't let cheap and practical people don't want to spend at least 20 million to buy Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian also occupies a non-EU quota that plays at the same time. Although Keita is an African Malian who plays for the Malian national team, he also has French nationality, so he does not occupy a non-EU quota.

At this point, he has an advantage over Chu Zhongtian.

Sevilla then spent 12 million euros to buy striker Aruna from PSV Eindhoven. Corne (arouna_kone). On the issue of Chu Zhongtian, you really can't blame people for their lack of sincerity, and this 12 million later became Sevilla's biggest transfer expenditure this summer...... Eight million euros from Pachuca for centre-back Mosquera (aquivaldo_mosquera) and five million euros from Ajax for 21-year-old Belgian star Tom Murphy. De Mul (tom_de_mul), on loan from Chelsea in Bora Luz (khalid_boulahrouz) and veteran goalkeeper De Sanctis (de_sanctis) on a free transfer due to the expiration of his contract with Udinese.

That's all Sevilla's new season, and how much did it cost? Twenty-nine million euros, if you want to buy Chu Zhongtian, these two nine million can't buy so many people.

※※※ Sevilla did not continue to increase the price, but turned to pursue Keita, which also led to the end of the story of Chu Zhongtian and Sevilla.

It seems that the transfer is not as simple as fans think.

Both stories take place in June. At the end of June, Chu Zhongtian received a letter from head coach Jean. Fernández's phone. On the phone, Fernandez was concerned about Chu Zhongtian's recovery from two injuries.

Chu Zhongtian told him that the thigh muscle strain was almost healed. The fractured right hand was a bit more troublesome, but the doctor said that the recovery was also good.

This relieved Fernandez, and then he asked Chu Zhongtian if he had to leave Metz this summer.

"I know Frank's departure may have touched you a little. He got a good contract with this transfer. I also know that we've just won the UEFA Cup, you're both at the peak of your careers, and if you move away at this time, it will bring you more benefits. But I still have to ask - do you have to leave this summer? ”

Chu Zhongtian was stunned by the question, he admitted that he had never considered this question before, so he didn't know how to answer.

"I'm also keeping an eye out for transfer news related to you, and I personally don't think there's a team for you in the transfer market this summer, Chu. If you just want to go to a random team and be a regular player, I believe that with your ability and attitude it is not a problem. The point is that you just want the commitment of a main player? I admit that there are teams that can play in the Champions League and are more attractive than us. But here's everything you're familiar with, and I don't think it's a good idea to leave now. To put it mildly, Frank is gone, and if you go again, the new season of Metz will be tough. I hope you'll stay and help me, Chu. At least wait for one season and use this season as a transition......"

Just like Ribery did when he was leaving last season, Fernandes said the same. He then brought Ribery a successor, Obertan. Franck Ribery has also shared his experience with Obertan this season, hoping that he will be able to prop up the right corridor of Metz after he is gone.

Whether he can or not depends on his performance this season.

Fernandez didn't ask Chu Zhongtian to give him an answer right away, but just asked him to think about it. He and the whole team welcomed him to stay.

Chu Zhongtian thought about it seriously for a long time, and he was not resistant to staying, but if there was a better choice, he also hoped to be able to leave. He didn't want to die right now.

He now also understands how Ribery felt at the beginning - he wanted to leave but didn't want to go, and he was in a dilemma. Ribery was relieved this year, and now it was his turn to be tormented.

If you don't want to be tortured, make a decision early. For example, if you are determined to leave, no matter where you go, you just don't want to stay in Metz anyway. Or rather, make up your mind to stay, no matter how good the opportunities are in July and August, you won't leave.

But this can't be.

Chu Zhongtian could only give Fernandes a verbal promise: "If there is no suitable team for me until the transfer window closes, I will stay." We'll see next year. "He's not reconciled, what if there's a team that suits him well?

He didn't want to be a villain who didn't believe in his words, so he simply didn't say anything from the beginning.

Fernandez also knew that this was the best result so far, at least Chu Zhongtian did not announce that he would leave Metz this summer and find another place.

However, he still told Chu Zhongtian that he hoped he could make a decision as soon as possible: "You are the core of the team, if you suddenly transfer on August 31, we will be very passive." At the same time, if there are teams that really care about you, value you and want you to be the core, then they will never finalize a transfer contract with you an hour before the transfer window closes. Therefore, in fact, by the middle of July, it should be possible to make a decision, Chu. ”

What Fernandez said was very reasonable, and Chu Zhongtian also felt that this matter had dragged on for too long, and it was not interesting to change from an inspirational drama to a soap opera.

He promised to end it all by July 15, and if there is no suitable team before then, he will stay in Metz for at least another year.

If he stays, then his choice will be the same as Ribery's. If he doesn't sign a new contract, and at the same time, his agent will frequently let out his words, saying that Chu Zhongtian will leave Metz after one season, and tell those teams who are still interested in him that if they are still interested, then come to me!

And if a team that fits Chu Zhongtian before July 15 comes to him, Metz should allow him to contact the opposing club on the basis of the right price. He assured that the "right price" would not make it too difficult for Metz, at least 20 million euros.

Although this decision is not final, and there are still variables, it can also make Chu Zhongtian's dilemma a little easier now.

He can collect his mood and face his mother.

It's a more important priority than a transfer.
