There are a lot of transfers on Manchester City's side. After bringing in Fernando Torres, Manchester City did not stop the pace of recruitment. La Liga is over, and Manuel Pellegrini has arrived at Manchester City.

It was supposed to be a break for Pellegrini, but Pellegrini was in a good mood. Manuel Pellegrini arrived in European football at Villarreal and was used to bringing in low-cost players. Now all of a sudden, he is in a nouveau riche like Manchester City, and he himself feels very good. was able to directly introduce Torres and David. With a player like Silva, Manuel Pellegrini really feels so good.

That's why he's been following Manchester City's transfers, and he's personally involved in them. Manchester City first brought in Argentine player Zabaleta for £8 million and then Gareth from Aston Villa for £12 million. Barry.

Of course, it's not over yet. Manchester City have paid another £8 million to bring in their left-back from Everton. Bynes though later hailed as Ashley. England's No. 1 left-back after Cole, but for now he is still a nobody. Although he did well at Wigan Athletic, he joined Everton for £5 million.

But last season he was largely a substitute at Everton. Because last season Lescote played at left-back at Everton and played very well. Bynes couldn't beat Lescott at all, so he had to play as a substitute. Because Baines was not included in Manchester City's list of reinforcements, it was Lister who strongly recommended Pellegrini to make Manchester City spend eight million pounds to bring in.

Although after Torres, Manchester City did not have any big transfers that shocked European football. But this period has made the Premier League powerhouses more worried. Because now Manchester City is clearly increasing the depth of the team's bench. Like Zabaleta, Barry, and Baines are all powerful stars. It's about constantly improving City's squad.

Take a look at Manchester City's current squad, with Fernando Torres, Tevez, David. Silva, Luka Modric, Kompany, Thiago. Silva and Krarov are both big spenders, and Manchester City's main squad is already very strong. Plus Joel. Luca, Barry, Baines, Zabaleta, Gilberto. There is certainly no shortage of young talents like Joe Hart, Richards, and Sturridge in a powerful star like Silva.

It can be said that Manchester City is strong enough now. It's up to City's manager to integrate them. But Manchester City is Manchester City, and it has just been honest for a while, and it has once again exploded a large transfer. Manchester City brought in Hleb from Tottenham for £24 million.

At 27 years old, Hleb is a real star in his playing years. Hleb became famous in Villarreal. It was Arneson who was brought in to Tottenham for 14 million pounds. Since arriving at Tottenham, Hleb has also performed well, firmly holding the main position on the right side of Tottenham, and is one of the most dribbling players in the Premier League every season.

Hleb is an old disciple of Pellegrini, and it was at Villarreal that made a name for himself at Pellegrini. Manuel Pellegrini also brought him to Manchester City this time. And Hleb received a weekly salary of 70,000 pounds at Tottenham, but he was able to get a weekly salary of 110,000 pounds immediately after arriving at Manchester City.

So far, Manchester City has brought in eight players before the transfer market opens, spending more than 150 million pounds. Proud, it's really beautiful. Manchester City's signings can be said to have attracted the attention of all the strong teams in European football. They even think that Manchester City's recruitment is not over, and it looks like Manchester City's situation is to continue to recruit them.

And at this very time. There is one piece of news that directly overshadows Manchester City's success in the transfer market.

9 June 2008. The election of a new president of Real Madrid has been announced. Of course, you don't need to look at it at all. Everyone knows the results. Because until this day, there was only one candidate for the presidency of Real Madrid, and that was Florentino. Thus, the Electoral Commission of Real Madrid officially announced that there was only one candidate for the presidency. So Florentino automatically became the new president of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is a century-old giant, the world's No. 1 giant. An upstart like Manchester City is no matter how glamorous it is in the transfer market. He also can't match Real Madrid's attention. At Florentino's inauguration ceremony, there were Real Madrid's honorary president, Di Stefano, two vice-presidents of Real Madrid, thirteen members of the Presidium Committee, and countless senior members of Real Madrid.

Of course, the mayor of Madrid, Gallardón, the president of Atletico Madrid, Cerezo, the president of Getafe Club, Torres, and many other important members of Spanish sports were all in attendance. Highlight the influence of Real Madrid, the influence of Florentino.

Florentino was a brilliant orator and began his inaugural speech on the stage: "We know what we are here for. We're here to bring people back to their dreams and stability, to get back the time we wasted, to build Real Madrid into the best club of the 21st century. We know the world is going through a difficult time, but we want Real Madrid to regain its momentum and return the club to its rightful place. We will rely on great people and attention to detail so that we can continue to be role models. Our image is our most valuable asset"

"We've been through a chaotic time, but we know that the more together we are, the farther we can go. Shaping Real Madrid as a leader in the sporting, economic and social spheres is an unprecedented challenge for us. We're going to build a team that wins honors, brings enjoyment to people and acts like role models. We will reinvent a dream and consolidate it. ”

"For us, it's a profound ceremony. It's an honor, but it's also a great responsibility. We know our goals and what our members expect from us. We have to regain our dreams. We come here with humility and passion, and we know that there are many hurdles to overcome. I will try to make Real Madrid the best club of the 21st century. ”

The European Championship has been going on for two days, but even the European Championship cannot hide the news that Florentino is back as Real Madrid. Florentino is the real big man in European football, and his comeback even the president of FIFA and UEFA cannot afford to take lightly. His appointment has made European football's giants restless. They were all afraid that Florentino would poach their star of the house.

Originally, everyone was reporting the news of Manchester City in the transfer market, and then occasionally interspersed with things like Chelsea's change of coach, Inter's change of coach, Barcelona's change of coach, and Liverpool's change of coach. Of course, with the start of the European Championship, the media has begun to focus on the European Championship.

But Florentino came out of Real Madrid and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Florentino's appeal has surpassed that of the European Championships. Because everyone wants to see Florentino come back this time. What kind of surprise will it give everyone.

Of course, Florentino never let the media down. Florentino told everyone in European football that although he has been away from European football for nearly two and a half years, he is still the same Florentino himself.

"The most special one has come to the Bernabeu!"

On June 10, 2008, the day after Florentino became president of Real Madrid. Real Madrid announced that Jose Mourinho, who had been away from Chelsea for almost a year, had become the new manager of Real Madrid. It is clear that Florentino had an early agreement with Jose Mourinho, which is why he announced the new Real Madrid manager the day after he became president.

Real Madrid signed a three-year contract with Mourinho, whose salary reached eight million euros after tax. Just two months ago, Jose Mourinho and Barcelona were on the verge of joining Barcelona. But when Barcelona broke their verbal promises, Mendes quickly made contact with Florentino, and Mourinho joined Real Madrid two months later.

Mourinho's style, Barcelona didn't like, Cruyff didn't like. In fact, Real Madrid also didn't like it. Florentino didn't like it either. But Florentino is now in no way. Because Real Madrid has not won the title for five seasons. Since the departure of Bosque in 03. Real Madrid were in turmoil. Not only are there no heavyweight champions, but even the Champions League has become a laughing stock for everyone.

How can Real Madrid, as the world's No. 1 giant, endure such a situation. Although the current Real Madrid is still attracting the attention of world football. But it is also the laughing stock of world football. Real Madrid now are hungry for the title, no matter what method they use, as long as they can win it. And they were satisfied. That's why Florentino quickly reached an agreement with Mourinho after Mendes made contact with him.

Just a week after the arrival of one of the most special ones, Real Madrid announced a transfer that caused a sensation in world football. It also made Real Madrid members cheer loudly for Florentino. Even the newspapers Marca and Ace cheered and began to sing praises for Florentino.

"The number one superstar is coming to the Bernabeu!"

"The King's Arrival!"

"The beginning of a new era for Real Madrid!"

Not only Real Madrid's newspapers, but all the authoritative media in European football were shocked by the transfer. Many newspapers even compared the transfer that appeared this time to Zidane's arrival at Real Madrid.

Who is so charismatic and influential? Of course, Kaka, the current number one in world football, is the core player of Milan. Only the arrival of Kaka will have such an impact.

On 17 June 2008, eight days after Florentino became president of Real Madrid, Real Madrid's official website announced that Real Madrid and Milan had reached an agreement. Kaka has already passed a medical examination at Real Madrid and came to Real Madrid for 71 million euros. Kaka signed a six-year contract with Real Madrid, with an annual salary of €14 million before taxes. Because Kaka enjoys the Beckham Act, his after-tax salary exceeds more than 11 million euros. He has become the highest-paid player in European football at the moment.

Kaka's joining is a real big deal. The media compared him to Zidane's joining Real Madrid, which is not an exaggeration. Zidane won the World Cup and the European Championship that year, and became the only top superstar who could be compared with Ronaldo at that time. For Zidane, who is already 29 years old, Florentino spent 76 million euros.

Kaka is only twenty-six years old now, and in terms of age, he is at his peak. And Kaka is still in the best of European football, and no player can compare to him. To be able to bring in such a player, really only Real Madrid has this ability.

You don't have to look at anything else, just look at the jersey sales to know Kaka's current fame. After Real Madrid announced the introduction of Kaka, the number 8 shirt sold for 3,000 pieces in three hours. A set of Kaka No. 8 shirts with full names and numbers costs 84.99 euros, which is even more expensive than Beckham's shirt in the first place. But demand is still in short supply.

In one day, more than seven thousand of Kaka's jerseys were sold. Florentino even said that Real Madrid was able to earn back Kaka's transfer fee and salary in just half a year.

In fact, in order to introduce Kaka, Florentino spent more than 90 million euros. Kaka's agent, his father, was a money obsessive, and in order to convince him, Florentino paid Kaka's father a commission of eight million euros. And Rist holds Kaka's image rights, Florentino wants to take back half of the image rights, plus he needs Rister to contribute to Kaka's transfer. Also gave Rist a commission of six million euros. This resulted in a commission of 14 million euros.

And it's not over yet. Kaka, as the world's No. 1 superstar, came to Real Madrid this time, and Florentino gave Kaka a signing fee of 6 million euros. In addition, Kaka signed a six-year contract of 84 million euros this time, and Real Madrid also gave Kaka's father a one-time salary share of 4.2 million euros. All the other messes add up, and it costs almost 100 million euros to bring in Kaka Real Madrid.

On June 29, 2008, Kaka officially debuted at Real Madrid. At that time, more than 50,000 people were present at the Bernabeu to welcome Kaka, and they really thought of Kaka as Zidane. While Real Madrid fans were basking in the bliss of bringing in Kaka, Florentino told Real Madrid fans that your happiness has just begun.

On 1 July 2008, just two days after Kaka's appearance at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid announced that they had brought in their sharpshooter Cristiano from Arsenal for €46 million. Ronaldo. After being transformed into a centre-forward by Arsene Wenger, Cristiano was transformed into a centre-forward player. Ronaldo has become a leading scorer in the Premier League, scoring more than 30 goals for Arsenal in all competitions in two consecutive seasons. Cristiano. In his four seasons at Arsenal, Ronaldo has scored 87 goals for Arsenal, and his goal efficiency can be compared to that of Thierry Henry.

Speaking of which, Wenger was very reluctant to let him go. Because Arsenal has been able to stabilize their results in the past two years, thanks to Cristiano. A marksman like Ronaldo. It's a pity that Arsenal's financial pressure is relatively high, and Cristiano. The high salary that Ronaldo is asking for, Arsenal can already afford. So he sold it to Real Madrid and got a transfer fee of 46 million euros.

Kaka came and then Premier League marksman Cristiano. Ronaldo is here. Is Florentino coming to an end? No, Florentino's madness is not over.

Cristiano. Just three days after Ronaldo's arrival at Real Madrid, Real Madrid announced another heavyweight transfer. On July 4, 2008, Real Madrid announced that it had brought in French star Franck Ribery, known as "Zidane's successor", from Manchester United for 54 million euros.

Ribery is worth more than Cristiano. Ronaldo is taller and not Ribery's performance is better than Cristiano. Ronaldo strong. It's that it's much harder to bring in players from Manchester United than it is from Arsenal. Manchester United's stars in their playing years are worth a lot, while Arsenal's stars are worth much less.

Money? Real Madrid are never short of money, and Florentino is not short of money. Less than a month after Florentino became the president of Real Madrid, he recruited several top players in European football at that time. Serie A superstar Kaka, Premier League star Franck Ribery and Cristiano. Ronaldo, the three of them spent Real Madrid more than 170 million in transfer fees. If you count the agent commissions and player signing fees, the introduction of Real Madrid by these three people cost about 220 million. Because their broker commissions are much higher than the average transfer.

Everyone in European football was so amazed by Florentino's hand that even the knockout round of the European Championship was not as attractive as Florentino's action at Real Madrid.
