Chapter 18 Harsh

For fans, summer transfers may not always be a hearty meal, and it may also help others wash their dishes.

Any fan wants their favourite team to surprise them during this period, but at the same time, they also face the possibility of losing perhaps their favourite star. This possibility depends on many aspects, the player's table, the club's finances, the manager's preferences, but in general, the possibility is inversely proportional to the club's situation.

Last season wasn't the best for Manchester City, but that didn't stop all City fans from being optimistic about this summer as they remain the reigning champions of the league and they have welcomed back their 'king', albeit not in the dugout.

The European summer transfer window opens on July 1, but it doesn't have to wait until that date for transfer talks to take place. Therefore, Manchester City, as one of the protagonists, is naturally indispensable to some rumors.

With Manchester City's growing popularity in Europe, unlike Lin Sen, who just joined Manchester City, he would take money all over the world to buy but was still called a fool of money, and now Manchester City's goal is gradually high-end. At least, this summer, when the media put names like Manchester City and Lionel Messi together, no one thought how ridiculous it would be if it did happen.

The media put Messi and Manchester City together, of course, on the premise that Messi is rumored to be unhappy in Barcelona, but from another aspect, it undoubtedly proves the strength of Manchester City. If you don't have a big enough fish tank, how can you hold such a big fish?

For Manchester City, it is no longer a question of whether the other side can do it, but whether the other side is willing or not.

Overall, this summer, at least so far, the mood of Manchester City fans is still good, except, of course, those "juvenile control" who have been "spoiled" by Linsen. Because to this day, Manchester City's recruitment is still in the rumor stage, and the transfer situation has gradually become clear.

Two players confirmed a possibility of leaving, both from the backline.

Richards and Nastasic.

The former is an Academy player that City fans have watched grow up with and can always be forgiven in any situation, while the latter was once seen as the heart of City's defence for the next decade.

Now, both men are in trouble at Manchester City.

In an interview with reporters, Pellegrini has hinted consciously or unconsciously that neither player is in his plans for the new season, "Richards needs to play, but after the arrival of Sagna, the position has become saturated. Richards could stay and take the competition, but frankly I can't guarantee his place, so ......

Nastasic? He's in a similar situation to Richards, and there's no doubt he's an important player, but the best thing for him is to get on the pitch. ”

At the end, Pellegrini didn't forget to add: Of course, about the transfer market, I think you should ask Lin, he knows better than me.

Thereupon. The media really found Linsen, and just as Linsen was driving to leave Manchester City's headquarters, he was blocked by reporters at the door, and Linsen could certainly ignore them. But knowing that if they didn't answer their questions, most of them would not give up, Lin Sen simply stopped the car and simply answered a few questions they were most concerned about through the window.

Richards and Nastasic? We've already received a couple of interesting offers, but we're still evaluating them.

The words of Porto manager Rodrigo? He has the right to express his opinion, as to whether I am an amateur manager or not. If the criterion is the level of the offer, then I don't think I would mind being an amateur manager. Mangala? He's a good player. Also players that we are interested in, but we only accept what is reasonable. Let me illustrate with a simple analogy. Gone are the days when silver was bought at the price of gold and then sold for stone.

……

The answer to the media is always half-truth, half-baked, half-hugging the pipa and half-covering the face.

Of course, this is not Lin Sen's intention to conceal it, but the fact is that even if you tell the truth, you may not necessarily believe it all, so why bother?

For Nastasic and Richards, Linson did not lie, after these two players entered the transfer market, Linsen did receive several offers, Nastasic has two main next homes, one is Juventus in Serie A, the other is Schalke 04 from the Bundesliga, and Richards is in a similar situation, there are also two offers, one is West Ham United, and the other is from Fiorentina in Serie A.

In these two transfers, Lin Sen's attitude is to let go and stay.

It was Richards, who did not deny that he actually liked the defender, although during his time at Manchester City, Richards was mostly a substitute, but it can only be said that it was a pity that he ran into Zabaleta. As a traditional English full-back, Richards is impeccable both physically and in spirit, but players who rely too much on their body are often prone to injury, and the peak of their careers is generally not long, which may be a bit cruel to say, but this is the reality, or how to say that playing habits determine the time to play.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Richards, who is already twenty-eight years old, has begun to appear "glass" attributes, if Manchester City takes the initiative to abandon Richards at this time, of course, it is very ruthless, but even if Richards is aware of his age and hopes to get the opportunity to fight for perhaps the last contract of his career, and has no intention of continuing to stay at the club as a substitute, then maybe it is a good choice for both parties to get together and disperse.

Nastasic, on the other hand, is different from Richards, who is only 21 years old, and although he has suffered from injuries, his injury is not a problem in Linsen's eyes. When it comes to injuries, perhaps one thing that may be easily overlooked is the issue of injuries, which were never a problem for Manchester City when Linsen was in charge, but last season, they became Pellegrini's biggest headache. In the eyes of outsiders, this may be just an accident, but only people inside Manchester City know that there is actually only one reason, and that is Linsen.

This is also the reason why Linsen conquered everyone in just a few seasons in the Manchester City team, and the results are of course the biggest factor, but Linsen's other identity has to be said to be equally great.

To get back to the point, in Lin Sen's memory, Nastasic should have gone to the Bundesliga, that is, Schalke, and then was bought out by Schalke.

But now, Lin Sen doesn't want to give up Nastasic completely, not because of anything else, but because of the other party's age.

As long as injuries are not a problem, what reason is there for a 21-year-old centre-back who can establish himself in the first line of giants?

Therefore, unlike Richard Zlinson, who has already approved his agent to negotiate with West Ham United, Linson is still stuck on Nastasic's offer, because both Juventus and Schalke have played with Linson the recent popular loan and buyout offer method in Europe, that is, to sign a loan contract and then set a buyout clause in the contract.

Of course, the two offers are different, although both teams want to have a buyout clause, Juventus wants the buyout clause not to be mandatory, while Schalke agrees with the mandatory buyout clause. But for Lin Sen, whether it is mandatory or not, he does not want to set it. For Linson, it's better to have a smaller club to go on loan, because obviously neither Juventus nor Schalke can help you level up for free.

And now, it is impossible to directly reject the offers of Juventus and Schalke, because Nastasic's agent does not do it at all, and the reason is simple, not to mention that Nastasic cannot find an opportunity at Manchester City at present, and even if there is an opportunity, how many agents will really refuse their clients' transfers? Don't forget what the agent eats from.

Therefore, Lin Sen had to make himself a little harsh.

Juventus want to go on loan? Not mandatory? Okay, um, why don't we talk about Pogba by the way?

Schalke also want to go on loan? Compulsion? It is also possible to buy out the amount of 30 million.

So, obviously, no one is stupid, so the transfer had to be slowed down.

It's true that things have to be settled, but Lin Sen still wants to see, and it won't hurt him to drag it out.

Different from these two established transfers, on the other hand, the process of several big scenes of digging each other's feet is different.

David Luiz's transfer, after Paris Saint-Germain's inquiry was rejected by Linson, the Paris side seems to have really turned their target to Mangala, and so far Linsen has not received a second fax from the other party, which is good news for Linsen. What made Lin Sen feel a little weird was another transfer, that is, Bale's transfer.

After Bale's agent Barnett communicated with Lin Sen, Lin Sen has not waited for any follow-up. Linsen knows that Real Madrid is busy, and they are busy grinding with Monaco about the transfer of James Rodriguez, but the other party is so "snubbing" himself, is it because they are very confident in themselves? Or do you think you're easy to deal with?

Speaking of which, if Bale transfers, in terms of explosiveness, it seems that he will not be inferior to James Rodriguez, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Sen just sneered in his heart.

Compared to Real Madrid, Barcelona is much more generous.

After Linsen and Subisareta reached an agreement on the player swap, just yesterday, Linsen had the first meeting with Sanchez's agent Ferichevich, and the results of the meeting were good, at least, Ferichevic left with a smile when he left, because Sanchez had played hotly with Arsenal before, Ferichevic was originally in England, although the target has changed from Arsenal to Manchester City, but for Ferichevich, as long as the player itself is not excluded, Manchester City is no worse than Arsenal.

So, will Sanchez choose Arsenal or Manchester City? For him, the smartest choice now is to remain silent and then sit back and watch what happens.

And today, according to the scheduled schedule, Linson is ready to meet with another player's agent, which is Cesc Fabregas's agent Darren Dunn. (To be continued......)
