Robinho is not unattractive to Barcelona.

After Henry's departure, Barcelona does need a left winger, but on the contrary, Pedro's existence also makes Guardiola not urgent in this position, which is somewhat similar to Linsen's attitude towards the back, simply put, it is better to lack than to excess. Therefore, Robinho, who has been "inspected" in La Liga, is indeed a good choice.

If it had been a season or two ago, Robinho had traded for Yaya Toure, it would have been a ridiculous deal, because at that time, the cyclist boy who was Pele's successor was worth three or four times as much. But now, Manchester City's mention has made Barcelona hesitate whether it is worth it because of a simple formula.

Manchester City have already bid Yaya Toure to 23 million, so is Robinho still worth 23 million?

Begiristan's final answer was, NO.

As a result, they rejected the exchange from Manchester City, but this time, instead of continuing to dwell on the issue of David Silva, they directly offered Yaya Toure's price tag: 35 million.

When the fax was received from Barcelona, Linson had just finished a conversation with two England internationals.

Richards and Wright Jr.

is also a Manchester City academy, compared with Ireland, Linson's willingness to keep these two players is undoubtedly stronger, of course, it is not that he also values the other party's household register, but the two of them were really good in the rotation last season, Richardz can be right or middle, and Wright Jr. can often play a role as Robben's substitute.

The results of the conversation with the two were good and bad.

The good news was that under Linson's persuasion, Richards finally nodded to stay on the team. The bad news is that Wright Jr., who has only one year left on his contract, has just rejected Manchester City's salary cut to renew his contract, and in the face of money, Linsen's talk has failed to make any difference, so Manchester City is left with only two options, either let Wright Jr. fulfill the last year of his contract and leave for free. Either that or it will have to be sold this summer.

Considering that Wright Jr. also has a weekly salary of up to 70,000 yuan and is close to 30 years old, Lin Sen tends to the former, because Wright Jr. can't sell much money at present, so it is better to let the other party stay, and the registration for the Champions League in the new season is also a youth training place.

In addition to the matter of Richards and Wright, in fact, before that, Manchester City's official website announced another purge: Bulgarian Petrov is free to move to Bolton.

This is City's third purge of the season.

"A substitute back for thirty-five million?" Looking at the fax of Barcelona. Marwood sneered.

With the label of a local tyrant, through Guò's transfer last summer, Marwood has long been accustomed to encountering sky-high prices, originally one was willing to fight and one was willing to suffer, and no one could complain about anyone, but since he was interested in doing business, he had to follow the basic principles of business, although the previous few counteroffers Barcelona were also "asking for a sky", but in Marwood's view, it was no different from refusal. Because it is clear that David Silva cannot be equal to Yaya Toure. But what does the other party's 35 million mean now?

Lin Sen, who was sitting across from Marwood, smiled slightly.

Naturally, he would not tell Sù Marwood that Yaya Toure was actually worth 35 million, and although Barcelona gave such an asking price, it did not mean that they really thought Yaya Toure was worth 35 million now. The vast majority of a player's value is played on the court, and a small part represents his appreciation. Yaya Toure's transfer to Barcelona is worth nine million. Two seasons have passed, and his watch has more than doubled his value. But Yaya Toure is twenty-seven years old, which means: There is not much room for him to appreciate.

"What's the news from Liverpool?" Instead of answering Marwood's words, Linson asked for another transfer.

"They were very resolute." Marwood shook his head, "Not for sale." ”

Lin Sen frowned. Then he asked, "What about the players?" ”

"It's worse." Marwood still shook his head, "I had a contact with Mascherano's agent, Tammel, and he said that the player himself would prefer to leave England, at first I thought it was a negotiation tactic by the other side, but after many verifications, this is probably true. ”

Lin Sen suddenly fell silent.

Twenty-five million, this is Manchester City's latest offer to Liverpool, but this offer was rejected by Liverpool in less than a day. Linson doesn't think such an offer will lose to the rumored Inter Milan, although he doesn't know how much Mascherano ended up going to Camp Nou, but he thinks that Manchester City's offer has not yet made Liverpool excited enough to give the main midfielder to rival Cheng Dù.

Of course, Manchester City can continue to increase the offer, even if it is to meet Liverpool's rumored offer of 30 million, it is worth it in Linsen's opinion, there is a lot of money, not just this benefit, you can use the money to make up for some of your disadvantages, or add some advantages that competitors do not have. But, now the problem is with the players.

If Mascherano insists on leaving England, what can Manchester City do?

Lin Sen sighed in his heart, somewhat helpless, although he had long known that Mascherano's transfer difficulty was probably higher than that of Yaya Toure, but that was mostly due to Liverpool's considerations, but he didn't expect the biggest problem to be on the player. The question went round and round, but it still went around Yaya Toure. However, it is not without gains, at least the intervention in Mascherano has finally forced Barcelona to change some changes in their transfer attitude.

"Forest." At this point, Marwood suddenly spoke, "Is it really Yaya-Toure?" ”

"Do you have a new candidate?" Lin Sen said.

"Barry." Marwood didn't sell it either, he nodded and said.

Barry......

Gareth Barry, who remembers the England international who should have moved to Manchester City last summer, in a sense, is also an incentive for Benitez to finally have to leave Liverpool, because if it weren't for Benitez's "seduction" of him, Xavi Alonso would not have thought about it, and if Xavi Alonso didn't leave, Liverpool would definitely not have had such a big decline in results last season...... However, these are all hypothetical assumptions for now.

It's no surprise that Marwood, who has always had a soft spot for homegrown players in England, has an eye on Barry, and last year he also tried to hook up with another England international, Lescote, who was announced on Chelsea's official website just yesterday for an undisclosed price. The Ingla media revealed that the price was around fifteen million pounds, a figure that happened to be the "tight spell" that Linsen put on Marwood last year.

Linson was a little surprised by Chelsea's signing of Lescott, but not too surprised, Carvalho left Spain to follow his mentor Jose Mourinho, Chelsea needed a central defender, and David Luiz, who was supposed to be among Chelsea's targets, has been preempted by himself, Lescott is already one of the few first-class defenders in the current transfer market, and he is an English account.

Speaking of Real Madrid. After the second offer of 32 million for David Silva was rejected by Manchester City again, Real Madrid did not continue to make an offer for David Silva, of course, Lin Sen does not think that this means that Real Madrid has lost interest in David Silva, most of the time, the other party is also waiting for the end of the World Cup like Manchester City.

Now that the World Cup semi-finals are over, as Lin Sen remembers, Spain and the Netherlands eliminated Uruguay and Germany respectively to meet in the final. Two of City's key players, Arjen Robben and David Silva, will also be in the final as opponents, plus Suarez, who also needs to play in the third-place match. Destined to miss most of City's warm-up games this summer.

Right to the point. Unlike last year, Marwood is now fully sure that Barry is the candidate.

While Linson and Aston Villa's O'Neill had an unpleasant falling out last season, at club level. The two clubs didn't really get along. Especially after Manchester City nodded briskly on Aston Villa's bid for Ireland, the relationship between the two clubs eased somewhat, in this case. If Manchester City want Barry, Aston Villa will most likely not put in the way.

After all, Aston Villa is not Manchester City, Manchester City can let Wright, who is nearly thirty years old, stay as a substitute for a year and then let him transfer freely, but Aston Villa cannot be so "luxurious", although this year is not Barry's contract year, but Barry, who is also nearly thirty years old, is the last moment to squeeze the last value, and the value is directly proportional to the competitive state, so thirty years old is a watershed.

It is worth mentioning that the transfer of Ireland is also a troublesome matter. Ireland, which previously refused to accept Aston Villa's salary contract, recently his agent proposed a new plan, saying that his client can accept Aston Villa's contract, but only if Manchester City pays a two-million breakup fee, Marwood has recently been troubled by this matter, but because of this incident, Marwood, who travels between Birmingham and Manchester, has established a good relationship with Aston Villa's manager Krurak.

Seeing that Lin Sen was silent again, Ma Wood thought that Lin Sen disagreed with his opinion again, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

As a transfer manager, I really deserve to be a little aggrieved. Although the transfer matter is handled by him and Linsen together, whether it is last season or this season, Manchester City's transfer work is actually Linsen's intention alone, and Marwood is not dissatisfied with this, after all, the transfer work is originally the will of the head coach is very important, and the board of directors has not erased his credit, however, it seems that every time he has a disagreement with Linsen, it is Linsen's opinion that becomes the final decision.

Of course, Linsen's eyes have been proven last season, and Marwood has to be convinced, but this feeling of being "overheaded" has always lingered in his heart. But he also knows that he can't "fight" Lin Sen, not only because of Lin Sen's achievements, but also because of the relationship between Lin Sen and club chairman Mubarak.

Since Linson moved to Manchester City, the gossip from the outside world has been aside, but there has always been a rumor within the club that Mubarak chose Linsen as the head coach because Mubarak and Linsen are old acquaintances. This kind of rumor is not completely unfounded, after all, Linsen's arrival at Manchester City last year was really unexpected by many. It's just that now, this kind of rumor, with Linsen's brilliant record with Manchester City last season, has also changed from the previous derogatory to a positive one.

This is the difference between cronyism and discernment.

"Yes."

At this time, to Marwood's surprise, Lin Sen suddenly said, "However, in the transfer of Yaya Toure, I hope to try one last time." ”

"Finally?" Marwood was stunned.

"Hmm." Lin Sen nodded, "Final offer." (To be continued......)
