As the days ticked into the new millennium, and with the ticking of chequebook-wielding teams, the focus of the fans began to quietly shift away from the European Championship and focus on the increasingly hot summer transfer market.

After all, although the finale of the European Championship has not yet started, it is still at least three or four days before the final begins. It's obviously unrealistic for fans to keep their attention and enthusiasm for a game for so long, so it's understandable to turn your attention to the transfer market, which is constantly sending out surprise packages.

People have a heart for gossip, and this sentence is especially applicable for most fans. On days when there are no games, isn't it the various rumors and transfer news that fans like to watch the most? If this were not the case, then the undisciplined media workers would not be racking their brains every day to create news to drive up sales and ratings.

In the first summer transfer period after the arrival of the new century, it can indeed be said that there are many surprises. Early on the morning of July 1, the Premier League Chelsea announced that they would buy the new Corsa Liga Golden Boot for Atletico Madrid for 15 million euros, and the 28-year-old Dutch center forward Hasselbaink dropped a bombshell on the first day the transfer door opened!

Chelsea's extravagant move for Hasselbaink was like a starting gun on the 100m, triggering a new arms race for Premier League teams. Not long after, Aston Villa announced that they had signed former France international David Ginola, for which they would pay Tottenham Hotspur a transfer fee of 3 million euros; Liverpool, who has not tasted the taste of the league championship for ten years, poached the German defender Babel, whose contract expired, from Bayern Munich with a high salary, and Bayern General Manager Hoeness was so angry that he scolded in the office!

As for Arsenal and Manchester United, who are currently in the limelight in the Premier League, Wenger and Ferguson have both set their sights on France who are fighting bravely in the European Championship, so even if they get the club side, they can only wait until the European Championship is completely over to negotiate the contract with the player they want.

Compared with the lively Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga, which are also the four major leagues, seem much calmer, whether it is Real Madrid and Barcelona, which are the two giants of Spain, or Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga champion, did not take action immediately after the transfer door opened, but pretended to be deep as if it was none of their business. However, many people know that such a calm is just an illusion - Real Madrid and Barcelona will complete the presidential election in the next half a month, and it is naturally impossible to launch an offensive in the transfer market at this time; The Bundesliga is because most teams are generally insufficient in terms of financial resources, it is difficult to spend a lot of money to bring in strong reinforcements, and the German national team was out early in the group stage of the European Cup, which has brought a lot of negative impact on German football, and many famous stars are reluctant to play in Germany at this time.

Now that we've talked about the other three major leagues, let's take a look at Italy. The first team to make action was AC Milan, who were all four away last season and suffered a humiliating defeat in the Champions League after finishing bottom of the group stage.

On the morning of the opening of the transfer door, Galliani announced with a smug face that they had signed a five-year contract with Georgian left-back Kaha Kaladze, who plays for Fiorentina FC! In order to bring in Kaladze, AC Milan paid a full transfer fee of 22 million euros to finally get this transfer!

For AC Milan's recruitment, the Italian media still quite recognized. After all, Kaladze has played a number of games for Fiorentina in the past season, and judging by his appearance on the pitch, the Georgian has fully adapted to the atmosphere of Serie A, and the probability of a situation like Kovacevic and Jose Mari is naturally extremely low. Therefore, it is unanimously agreed that with the addition of Kaladze, a versatile backfield who can play multiple positions such as left-back, left-center-back and midfielder, it has greatly strengthened the depth of AC Milan's bench and can effectively avoid the embarrassing situation that the team has no one available on the left side after the suspension of Na Ertini last season!

Surprisingly, Fiorentina did not announce any major transfers after losing Kaladze, an important substitute at left wing-back, but brought in Dutch veteran De Huye, who had failed to compete with Cudicini for a free spot from Chelsea, who were in the process of purging the squad. At the same time, the Purple Lily also spent a small sum of about $1 million to bring in homegrown rookie goalkeeper Ivan Pellizzoli, who is still four months away from turning 20 years old, from promoted Atlanta!

For Fiorentina's two signings in the goalkeeper position, many people expressed a puzzled attitude. After all, now that the team has the god of Toldo and the qualified substitute of De Sanctis, where do we need others to come and make trouble?

After some reasoning and analysis, it is generally accepted that this was a harbinger of De Sanctis's imminent departure from Florence. After all, it is an indisputable fact that Fiorentina cannot provide him with enough training opportunities for the young goalkeeper who is already making a name for himself in Italian football, so it is normal for Fiorentina to find a reliable replacement for Toldo after his departure.

While Fiorentina's current moves in the transfer market have been somewhat disappointing, the good news of other Serie A teams has distracted fans in a big way: Inter Milan have spent a lot of money to bring in Romanian striker Adrien Mutu from Verona, Roma have bought Brazilian defender Emerson who has just won the Bundesliga Player of the Year award, and the soap opera between Lazio and Parma centre-forward Crespo has also feasted the eyes of bored fans.

Sampdoria, who returned to Serie A after a year, attracted a lot of attention, with the support of Berezovski's ruble, the Sea Blue made frequent moves, not only bringing in Portuguese striker Nuno Gomez at a price of $20 million, but also having scandals with Concicao and Zahovic, who are hot names in the transfer market, and it is not at all a promoted polo team.

In this way, fans enjoyed the successive blockbuster news in the transfer market while ushering in the last game of this European Cup. Italy, led by Maldini Sr., and the Gallic Army coached by Le Maire, will have a fierce battle for the final championship trophy this night!
