Chapter 12: The Present Situation of Manchester City

David Silva is the 'national treasure' of Spanish football club Valencia, and anyone who follows European football in a few years will be able to call him by name, and he is also an absolute mainstay of Valencia and the Spanish national team.

At that time, it was Barcelona's 'Dream Three' that dominated Europe.

Pep Guardiola's team almost swept across Europe, and at the same time, the Spanish player structure of that team also formed the Spanish team again, which can also be called the Spanish 'Barcelona' team, which is almost a copy of Barcelona, and uses the same tactical style of play, to jump to the top of the world stage and win the highest honor of the national team - the Hercules Cup.

It is in such a Spanish team that David Silva, as a non-Barcelona player, can have a starting position, you can imagine how remarkable it is.

These are Wansheng's impressions of David Silva, who is definitely a player at the core of the midfield, and even if he is only 19 years old, he is definitely the 'baby' of his team.

What reason does Valencia have to sell such a 'national treasure' to Manchester City!?

After the introduction of the club staff, Wan Sheng learned about the situation, it turned out that the current David Silva does not have the status of a 'national treasure' in Valencia, in fact, he is in a bit of a miserable situation now.

David Silva has been out on loan for a season in order to play professionally.

Last year, Claudio Ranieri left Chelsea and returned to Valencia, and he was a little disliked by Silva, so he agreed to Parma's transfer request, but Parma and Valencia could not reach an agreement on transfer negotiations.

Negotiations were unsuccessful and David Silva had to stay in Valencia, but Ranieri really didn't like him, so he loaned David Silva to Eibar FC in the Basque Country.

Not trusted by the new manager, I want to play in the professional league. David Silva, who could only choose to go on loan, could only agree to the invitation of the Elva team, and then he played in the Spanish second division for a season.

David Silva has been doing well at Eibar's table and has become an absolute mainstay for Eibar and has played almost the entire season, but in Valencia he is still not taken seriously and in the eyes of others he is only playing in the second division, which is not a big deal. And he wasn't very good at Elva - it took a season to score a goal that could be counted on one hand, how good can he be!?

So Valencia is ready to continue to send David Silva out on loan, young players just need more training, especially like this 'little talent', a few more years of training, more experience, and then return to Valencia, in the end, Xiàn will be a lot better.

That's when Manchester City came.

Manchester City have submitted a transfer request to Valencia. Valencia also had to think carefully about the offer, which is 1.8 million euros, which may not sound like much, but compared to a young player who has to go out on loan in order to play. This price is definitely not low.

Players like David Silva can count several in every top league club, especially La Liga giants like Valencia. Manchester City's offer has Valencia's heart fluttering.

Valencia and Parma failed last year in talks over the transfer of David Silva because they demanded a buy-back clause that set out a three-year period. Valencia want to buy back David Silva, but they only need to come up with three times the current transfer fee.

Such a 'bully' transfer clause, Parma naturally could not accept, they bought Silva and cultivated him into a talent, but Valencia was able to buy it back directly, which is absolutely unacceptable to any club, not to mention, the transfer fee negotiated by the two sides at that time was only about 1.5 million euros, and the price of three times was only 4.5 million euros.

Now Valencia are still asking for this clause because they are afraid of selling young talent to other teams, although they don't think David Silva has much talent, but what if!?

What if David Silva is a genius?

They sold David Silva, and two years later David Silva became a world-class star, and his value skyrocketed by more than 10 million euros.

Valencia FC have such concerns, so they want to sell young players with a 'buy-back' clause so that they still have room to 'regret'.

Of course, this is difficult for other teams to accept.

Unless the player's transfer price is high enough, the price of the buy-back clause is certainly unacceptable, and Manchester City FC is the same, they directly raised the offer to 2 million pounds, which is equivalent to 3 million euros, and then Valencia decided to abandon the genius clause.

Any clause has a price floor, for David Silva, Valencia believes that the bottom line is 1 million euros, since Manchester City is willing to pay more than 1.2 million euros, they naturally agreed to the transfer, after all, that adds up to 3 million euros, 3 million euros is definitely not a small number, this money is enough to buy a qualified top league main player, and they don't need to be cultivating young talents.

Obviously, in Valencia's view, no matter how David Silva grows, in a few years, he will at most become a qualified La Liga player, and that's it.

So this transfer, they think it's still worth it.

There is nothing worthless at Manchester City, because the transfer is a request of the new manager, they just need to do it, and it is the new manager who is not worth it.

3 million euros to buy a young player, although the price is a bit expensive, but as long as Wansheng is satisfied, it is definitely worth it.

Wan Sheng was glad that Valencia hadn't seen David Silva's genius yet, so he had the opportunity to get it, listening to the staff's explanation, and seeing the future star appear on his roster, he couldn't help but smile.

"Well done!"

Wan Sheng gave praise to the club's transfer department, and then suppressed his excitement and really threw himself into the intense work.

At this time, the players are still on vacation, and so is the team's coaching staff. Even Diamares only made an appearance with him and went on vacation with his wife again.

Wan Sheng didn't have to be so busy, he was actually on vacation, but who let him have the transfer power?

Now is the busiest time for transfer work, having the transfer power is not just about who to buy, the club will help buy it, he doesn't know much about the team, he doesn't know what players are the most suitable, and Manchester City doesn't have the ability to say who they want to buy.

So the first thing Wansheng did was to take a closer look at the current Manchester City.

Get to know the whole team. Get to know every player.

Analyze their performance in the past season, understand their current strength and situation - whether they are ready to transfer and leave, or definitely stay in the team, whether they have the strength to play the main team, or can only play as a substitute, etc., which personnel in the team are unknown, where they need to be replenished, which positions have too many people, and they need to be cleaned up for a certain time. These are all things that Wansheng needs to consider.

Although Wan Sheng actually has a certain understanding of Manchester City, such as how much transfer money the club has, and then the player list of the entire team, and so on. But these are just general situations, and he doesn't know much about each player, especially those who are very ordinary.

In Manchester. Wan Sheng found a hotel to live in temporarily, and then began to work.

He has so much to do.

The club arranged for the staff to help him find a place to live, and he didn't have time to go and see. I've been looking up all kinds of materials, watching all kinds of videos and so on, to get to know the whole Manchester City.

In two days, Wan Sheng had a specific understanding of Manchester City.

Manchester City's main squad is really miserable, except for a limited number of core players, other old and young, unable to take on the heavy responsibility at all, even a few core players, all have their own problems.

For example, Anelka, who fell out with former coach Keegan, is definitely a problem player.

He doesn't have much fame now, because he fell out with Keegan, he didn't play for two consecutive months last season, and now he is ready to transfer away, almost no one thinks that he can stay at the club, and the club's transfer department is also operating, ready to sell Anelka, in their opinion, this problem kid is average, there are a lot of problems, and it is natural to deal with the player.

After learning the news, Wan Sheng hurriedly stopped the transfer work.

You know, that's Anelka, even if there is a problem with his personality, he is also a well-known star, and for Manchester City, which is now in the 'miserable' lineup, it is definitely meaningful to have an extra powerful star.

In addition, the problem is the team's rising star Wright Phillips.

Wright-Phillips initially played for Nottingham Forest's youth team before being dropped by Nottingham Forest, who called him up to the youth team in 1998. Wright-Phillips has been with Manchester City's first team since 1999, making 153 league appearances and scoring 26 goals in six seasons.

Last season, his watch won the favor of Chelsea, so now Manchester City have to deal with Chelsea's pound attack, and Wright Phillips also has to face the temptation of a 'big contract'.

Of course, this is good news for the players.

On the flip side, it's also good news for Manchester City, who are better off on their players than if they are not in a good position to have their players bought, especially for City who are not in a good financial situation.

If the club's funds are no problem, Wansheng will definitely not choose to sell Wright-Phillips, the players who can leave their names in the top league are quite remarkable, at least the strength will never be bad, and then after the training of the football training master system, as well as the attribute bonus of coaching skills, they will definitely be able to play very well on the field.

But according to Wan Sheng's understanding, the transfer funds prepared by Manchester City have been almost used, and more than 10 million pounds have not been recovered, which is a lot of pressure on Manchester City, which is burdened with debt, in fact, club president Wald can prepare more than 10 million pounds of transfer funds, but also because the club is ready to sell Wright-Phillips, which can make the team's funds turn around, exchange a player for a summer transfer funds, and replenish several powerful players, which is what the club with debt pressure needs to do.

Wan Sheng naturally understands this, so he knows that he can't keep Wright-Phillips.

But the question is, how can you sell it for a high price?

Chelsea are a piece of fat and everyone has to take a bite if they have the chance, and now Manchester City have that opportunity because Chelsea are desperate to get Wright-Phillips.

As long as he can sell for a high price, he can also get spare transfer funds to buy players to strengthen the team
