On July 1, the window of the European transfer market officially opened!
Some transfers that have been negotiated for a long time are being announced on this day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the midst of one blockbuster transaction after another, the news of the Inter Milan team's announcement of a flying reinforcement shocked the whole of Europe!
At a press conference held by Inter Milan about this summer's recruitment, general manager Blanca happily said that Mourinho and Edison have both confirmed to stay in the team and continue to fight in Meazza next season!
This news immediately surprised European clubs that were interested in Mourinho or Chen Xi before.
Some unbelieving clubs even contacted Chen Xi and Mourinho's agents privately, but all they got was the news that they would stay at Inter Milan this season.
After hearing this news, the most excited were the Inter Milan fans. Although the club has made similar statements before. However, at that time, they still had a certain amount of concern.
After all, every year in European football, there are some clubs who say they are not for sale and end up wearing the jerseys of other teams!
Now, the club has officially announced the news at a press conference, apparently with the consent of Mourinho and Chen Xi.
Indeed, after Moratti returned to Milan to discuss the transfer intention with Blanca and others, he rushed to Mourinho's vacation place and told him what Chen Xi said.
Mourinho was also quite moved when he heard that Chen Xi was willing to stay in the team and that his goal was to help Inter Milan defend the Champions League. So I also agreed to stay in the team!
After receiving positive answers from the two, Moratti quickly asked the club to hold a press conference to announce the news. Thus cutting off the idea of those clubs who want to dig in!
As Moratti said, for Inter Milan, being able to keep Chen Xi and Mourinho is definitely more helpful than multiple heavyweight reinforcements!
"Milan Sport" reported after this press conference that Inter Milan has completed the most important "recruitment" this summer!
After getting Chen Xi and Mourinho, Inter Milan also began to tinker with the lineup in the transfer market.
Indeed, with Inter Milan's main squad almost perfect, the club does not need to make large-scale changes to the squad, only to make some additions in individual positions and on the bench.
Of course, for the players whose performance did not meet Mourinho's requirements last season, the Inter Milan team also resolutely took a purge!
The Inter Milan team basically signs one and cleans one, which is obviously conducive to avoiding the team's squad being too bloated!
On July 14, Inter Milan announced the first heavyweight signing of this summer!
Inter Milan and Udinese have reached an agreement over the transfer of Chilean midfielder Pisano.
In order to get Pisano, Inter Milan paid 10 million euros plus Pandev general ownership!
Pizarro is an attacking midfielder, but he runs aggressively, defensively and has similar technical characteristics to Barcelona's Portuguese star Deco! This is clearly in line with Mourinho's requirements.
What's more, Pisano has strong organizational skills, and his arrival can change the lack of imagination in the Inter midfield to a certain extent!
Not long after Pisano joined, Inter Milan announced that Argentine midfielder Emre would join the Premier League team Newcastle for 6 million euros!
Emre did not fit Mourinho's tactical requirements and he himself was not happy at Inter. Last winter, he had the intention of leaving. It's just that at that time, time was in a hurry, and he couldn't make it.
This summer, with the transfer of a member of the Treble, his personal treatment can obviously be guaranteed to a certain extent.
On July 16, Inter Milan announced that Brazilian goalkeeper Giulio Cesar joined the team on a free transfer!
The Flamengo goalkeeper was out of contract in the winter and had already joined Inter Milan in a low-key manner. However, due to Toldo's excellent form, he was loaned directly to Chievo.
Considering that Toldo is nearly thirty-five years old after all, it is obviously urgent for the Inter Milan team to find a successor for him!
Immediately after Cesar's arrival, Inter Milan announced that the contract with 38-year-old goalkeeper Fontana had expired and he was allowed to leave the team on a free basis.
On July 18, the Inter Milan team announced another free signing!
Through Blanca's negotiations, Inter Milan will get Real Madrid's 29-year-old left-wing Solari for free.
Due to the expiration of his contract with Real Madrid, Solari joined on a free transfer. Meanwhile, his compatriot Kiri Gonzalez was in contact with Inter Milan for a contract. Inter Milan let him transfer freely!
On July 21st, Blanca the Great completed another valuable free reinforcement!
PSV Eindhoven's main defender Van Bommel, who played against Inter Milan in the Champions League last season, has expired with his club contract!
Upon learning of this news, many giants, including Inter Milan and Barcelona, sent invitations like this later titan!
In the end, with Blanca's ingenious skills and Inter Milan's name as the treble last season, Inter Milan pulled teeth from Barcelona's mouth and got this fierce player!
The tall Van Bommel clearly strengthened the lack of height in Inter's midfield defense to a certain extent!
After getting Van Bommel, Davies, who was unhappy at Inter Milan, was also able to transfer freely, and he chose to join Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League!
This is another counterpoint, a personnel adjustment of nationality!
After entering the end of July, Inter Milan continued the pace of purging.
Koko and Pasquale, who are basically unplayable in the team, have been loaned out, which has also reduced Inter's salary burden to a certain extent.
In addition to these two, there are also a number of young talents in their twenties who have been sent to some small clubs in Serie A for training!
After entering August, the Inter Milan team broke out two blockbuster transfers in a row!
On August 2, Inter Milan's official website announced that they got Argentine central defender Samuel from Real Madrid!
This news immediately shocked European football.
You know, Samuel only joined Real Madrid from Serie A at a high price last season, and who knew that he would return to Serie A after only one season!
Samuel, 27, nicknamed "The Rock", is a regular centre-back for the Argentine national team, who spent many years in Serie A for Roma and won the league title as a central defender in 2001, before moving to Real Madrid last year for 25 million euros, when he was considered a pillar of Real Madrid's new backline and signed a five-year long-term contract with Real Madrid. But Samuel's arrival did not change Real Madrid's weak defense, in the first half of the season, due to the lack of midfield support, Samuel often faced the skilled La Liga striker alone, there were many low-level mistakes that led to the conceded goal, his strength was once doubted by fans, although in the second half of the season after adapting to the rhythm of La Liga, Samuel gradually improved, post-season statistics show that the 04-05 season is Real Madrid's 10-year season with the fewest goals conceded. However, the Real Madrid hierarchy seems to have lost patience with him, and it has now been confirmed that the introduction of Spanish defender Ramos is aimed at replacing Samuel.
Samuel, who is not happy in La Liga, wants to return to Serie A. Under the operation of Blanca, who has a very good relationship with Real Madrid, and Inter Milan has a number of Argentine players, this also gives Inter Milan a head start!
In order to get Samuel, Inter Milan paid 16 million euros. This price is almost 10 million euros less than last year's Samuel. It's obviously a good deal!
After getting Samuel, the European media also lamented that Inter Milan has a near-perfect backline!
At the same time, after getting Samuel. Inter Milan also have some overcrowding in the centre-back position.
Inter Milan now have six central defenders in the first team: Materazzi, Carvalho, Kompany, Mihajlovic, Córdoba and Burdisso. With the addition of Samuel, it reaches seven!
In the end, Inter Milan opted to send Burdisso out on loan. Maintained a configuration of six central defenders!
Considering the strength and fame of these six central defenders, Mourinho may be in a sweet trouble in the new season!
Just three days after Samuel joined, Inter Milan announced another shocking signing!
"Portuguese superstar, former World Footballer of the Year Figo joins for free!"
This news has once again exploded in European football!
Although Figo is over 30 years old, as a technical player, his form has not declined significantly. He also has one year left on his contract with Real Madrid.
Although before, there was news that Figo wanted to leave Real Madrid. But it is widely believed that the former world footballer is worth at least tens of millions of euros!
Who knows, this world footballer of the year actually joined for zero value!
However, after Inter Milan announced the details of the contract. The outside world was relieved.
Because, in the two-year contract signed by Figo and Inter Milan, he will receive a total of 6.9 million euros! That's about the same as his annual salary of 3.5 million euros, although it is a bit different from his previous annual salary of more than 4 million euros at Real Madrid. But considering Figo's age of thirty-two, it was obviously a good result to be able to get such an annual salary.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, were able to get rid of Figo's high salary.
From the point of view of both clubs, this is a win-win result!
Figo is one of the best right midfielders in the world, and after he joined Inter Milan, Van der Meyde's position in the same position as him was even more awkward.
So the Dutchman also chose to leave, and he joined Everton in the Premier League on loan!
After Figo joined Inter Milan, his shirt number also became the focus of attention.
He has always worn the No. 7 shirt in the national team, and in Real Madrid, because of Raul, he failed to wear the No. 7, but he also got a No. 10 shirt that symbolizes the core!
In the Inter Milan team, the No. 7 jersey belongs to King Chen Xi, and the No. 10 jersey belongs to the striker Adriano.
The importance of these two people to Inter Milan at this stage is self-evident.
Therefore, it is clearly unrealistic to deprive them of their jersey numbers.
Eventually, Mihajlovic, who was a defender but was carrying the number of the attacking player's jersey, gave up his No. 11 shirt.
Therefore, Figo also ushered in a new journey at the same time, but also got a new number!
After the Inter Milan team got Figo, the outside world couldn't help but sigh that next season, the Inter Milan team will have Chen Xi on the left side and Figo on the right side. How terrifying would such a configuration be?
After getting Figo, Inter Milan also said that this season's recruitment is basically over.
Although this summer, Inter Milan brought in six players in one go. But instead of becoming bloated, their lineup has achieved a slimming effect!
What's more, the club has secured the likes of Van Bommel, Solari, Cesar and Figo for free. And Pisano and Samuel, two powerful players who are familiar with Serie A, only spent a total of 26 million euros!
Combined with the €6 million recovered from the sale of Emre, Inter's net transfer spend is just €20 million.
This is undoubtedly the smallest transfer expenditure of Inter Milan in recent years. But looking at the quality of recruitment, it is not inferior at all!
The media could not help but sigh at the means of Blanca the Great!
…… At the same time, AC Milan and Juventus, rivals of Inter Milan, are also cautious in the transfer market.
Among them, AC Milan got the young Serie A goalscorer Gilardino and the Czech Jankulovski!
Combined, these two only cost AC Milan 32 million euros!
Coupled with the fact that AC Milan recovered 8 million euros through the sale of Dorasu and Tomasson, their net transfer expenditure this year is only 24 million euros!
Juventus, on the other hand, used Moggi's brilliant skills to poach Gunners captain Patrick Vieira from Arsenal. The value of 20 million is also much lower than Vieira's value of more than 30 million in the previous two seasons!
In addition, the ownership of half of the young defenders Chiellini and Mikoli only cost Juventus a total of 4 million euros!
Juventus' expenditure this season is also 24 million euros!
It can be said that this year's Serie A top three seem to be good in the transfer market, and they have not burned money!
In fact, this year's transfer market has generally been regionally sensible.
Even the Chelsea team, which has been on a spending spree in previous seasons, have been cautious this season.
Their biggest transfer spending was the £21 million purchase of England's talented winger Wright Phillips from Manchester City!
On top of that, the left-back Del Horno, who they bought from Athletic Bilbao, only cost them £8 million!
The rest is basically the introduction of some young players!
They also recouped nearly £20 million by selling players such as Thiago, Cayman, Parker and Forsel!
As a result, Chelsea's transfer expenditure this season is less than 10 million!
In addition to Chelsea, fellow Premier League giants Arsenal have also continued Wenger's habitual line of petty play in recent years.
Arsene Wenger only signed Belarusian magician Hleb from Stuttgart for a floating price.
If Hleb performs well at Arsenal next season and Arsenal have a good record, they will only have to pay a maximum of £10 million for this transfer!
Coupled with the fact that Wenger sold the team's captain Vieira and recouped 20 million euros (13.7 million pounds), Arsenal even made a profit through this season's transfer!
Arsene Wenger's old rival Alex Ferguson hasn't invested much this season either!
This season, Manchester United Club has only announced three signings, two of which are goalkeepers, the young goalkeeper Foster spent 2.5 million pounds on Manchester United, and the old Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar only spent 4 million pounds on Manchester United!
Another acquisition was Manchester United's purchase of South Korean winger Park Ji-sung from PSV Eindhoven, a deal that cost them only £4 million!
After purging Kleberson and Phil Neville, who decided to leave because he couldn't play, a total of £6 million was recovered for Manchester United.
As a result, Manchester United have spent less than £5 million this season!
Liverpool, which is also a top four team in the Premier League, has bought a lot of players, but some of them are free to join.
In addition, England national team center Crouch spent Liverpool seven million pounds, Valencia midfielder Sissoko spent Liverpool five million pounds, and Spanish goalkeeper Reina spent Liverpool six million pounds!
That's a total of 18 million pounds!
In terms of selling players, Barosh helped the Reds recoup £6.5 million, and Liverpool's spending this season is just over 10 million!
Newcastle United, who are striving for a revival, have become the craziest club in the Premier League this summer!
The two strikers they bought from Spain, Owen and Luke, cost them £16 million and £10 million respectively, and with the addition of Parker, Emre and Solano, Newcastle United have spent nearly £30 million on transfers this season!
Of course, they also recouped 10 million pounds by selling the likes of Jenas, Bellamy and O'Brien.
Even so, the net expenditure of nearly 20 million still makes them the team that has invested the most in the Premier League this season!
The spending of other teams in the Premier League also fully reflects the weak state of the Premier League transfer market this season!
…… The Premier League, which has caused a storm of gold in European football in recent years, has performed so evenly this season that the outside world generally believes that the transfer market in European football today has become regionalized.
But when it comes to La Liga, Real Madrid has reminded the media and fans of the crazy era of the European transfer market with their big strokes one after another...... It's not past yet!
Baptista, 24 million euros!
Robinho, two four and a half million euros!
Ramos, 27 million euros!
Real Madrid smashed three big sums of more than 20 million euros in a row.
This also made the outside world laugh and say that they were ready to buy Chen Xi for hundreds of millions of euros, but they learned that Chen Xi decided to stay this season, so they could only take the money and smash it everywhere!
Plus Pablo García for six million euros, and Sicinho, who negotiated in the winter and paid in the summer.
Real Madrid's transfer spending this season has reached almost 90 million euros!
Even if 40 million euros were recovered by selling Samuel and Owen (16 million euros for Samuel, 16 million pounds for Owen, and 25 million euros!). They still pointed out nearly 50 million euros, making it the most expensive club in European football this season!
In contrast, Barcelona, another team in La Liga, who trampled the Galaxy under their feet last season, is much calmer.
They have only gotten striker Sguero from Bilbao for free this season.
After Inter Milan's unsuccessful bid for Van Bommel, they simply stopped recruiting this season completely!
On top of that, they also loaned Argentine midfielder Riquelme to Villarreal and recouped a fee of 5 million euros!
Coupled with the cost of cleaning other players, Barcelona has also made a profit in the transfer market this season!
Although there are not many reinforcements, it does not mean that Barcelona's strength has not been replenished.
They have promoted a number of youngsters from the academy to the first team, and Andres Iniesta and Messi, who have been brought in from previous seasons, have already established themselves in the first team.
Riquelme doesn't have to worry about the lack of major generals in the new season!
La Liga giants Valencia have also stepped up their investment this season after suffering a defeat last season.
They spent €12 million on homegrown striker Villa from Zaragoza and full-back Miguel for €8 million from Benfica. Bought Uruguayan winger Istyanov from Uruguayan Phoenix for 8 million euros!
Together with the eight million euros recovered from Sissoko, their investment this season has also reached 20 million euros, second only to Real Madrid!
This also shows their determination to do a great job in the new season!
Sevilla, which has performed very well in La Liga in recent seasons, has become the most profitable team in La Liga and even in the entire European football transfer market!
Baptista and Ramos' transfer to Real Madrid helped them earn more than 51 million euros in transfer income.
In terms of investment, players such as Fabiano, Maresca and Kanute combined only cost them about 10 million.
Coupled with Saviola on loan, the strength of their squad for the new season has not only not decreased, but has been strongly supplemented!
This also shows that this Andalusian team is in a good way!
…… Outside of the three major leagues, the Bundesliga hegemons Bayern Munich also continue their style of poaching in their home leagues. Central defender Ismael has been poached from Bremen!
In addition, they have repossessed young full-back Lahm, who went on loan to Stuttgart.
Plus the free Asian Footballer of the Year Karimi.
Bayern have not invested much this season.
Of course, the generally weak transfer market this summer will not dampen fans' expectations for the new season.
Considering that the World Cup in Germany is a year away, the internationals of some World Cup teams must be gearing up to perform well in order to find a main position for themselves in the World Cup in Germany.
Therefore, the 05-06 season is sure to be a wonderful season!
