Chapter 0726, we buy people, we must buy at a higher price!
After a tense season, the Premier League giants are looking forward to the new season.
There are giants looking forward to the championship in the new season, and there are mid-table teams looking forward to entering the European zone.
Even if it is only a relegation team, it must go all out to stay in the Premier League, at least 100 million more advertising revenue per year.
In this context, the recruitment of various teams is naturally great.
Defending champions Manchester City bore the brunt of the attack, making successive signings.
7,000 euros to sign 23-year-old Spanish midfielder Rodri, 65 million euros to buy 25-year-old Portuguese defender Joao Cancelo.
Both transfers were quick and decisive.
Next up are 19-year-old defender Poro, 22-year-old defender Angelinho, and 24-year-old American goalkeeper Steffen.
These players are preparing for the future of the team and are spending a gradual 50 million euros.
Overall, Guardiola is still relatively satisfied with the team that won the championship last season, and as long as he increases some bench depth this season, he can continue to maintain the team's multi-front competitiveness.
Compared to Manchester City's usual arrogance, Arsenal's shot surprised many.
80 million euros!
Nikola Pepe!
The 24-year-old Ligue 1 striker has set a new transfer record for Arsenal!
Unai Emery fought hard this season!
In addition to Pepe, Arsenal also spent 30 million euros to bring in 18-year-old defender Saliba, 27 million euros to sign 22-year-old defender Tierney, and 8.7 million euros to buy veteran Brazilian defender David Luiz.
The three transfers were all made at the back, and many of the big teams were doing the same thing this summer.
There is also 18-year-old striker Martinelli, who also spent 7.1 million euros on Arsenal.
At the same time, two youngsters Saka and Nelson were promoted from the youth team, both of whom are extremely talented.
After a terrible season, Unai Emery can't afford to miss out on the new season.
Arsenal, who have always been frugal, are willing to spend money, and Tottenham, who are also frugal, have also spent a lot of money on reinforcements.
For 62 million euros, they photographed 22-year-old French midfielder Ndombele.
This transfer is quite ambitious.
There is also 27 million euros to sign 19-year-old England teenager Sessegnon and 11 million euros to buy 18-year-old England striker Clark.
Both transfers are investments in the future.
The 23-year-old Argentine midfielder Lo Celso has joined the team on loan and has also been a big boost for Pochettino.
Tottenham also spent more than 100 million euros in the new season.
Chelsea spent €45 million to buy midfielder Mateo Kovacic from Real Madrid.
Leicester City also invested a lot of money, signing 22-year-old Belgian star Tielemans for 45 million euros, buying 25-year-old Spanish striker Andreas Pereira for 33.4 million euros, and signing Belgian midfielder Praate for 19.2 million euros.
Wolves, who were seventh in the league last season, also signed Raul Jimenez in a big way, spending 38 million euros; At the same time, the total cost of buying stars such as Cutrone, Neto, Dendoncker, and Jordan also exceeded 100 million euros.
Among the buyers who bid for the average, Manchester United is naturally more arrogant.
This season's Premier League single transfer record set-set-Manchester United!
And the player who set the transfer record is also very familiar to Manchester United fans - Maguire!
The 26-year-old England centre-back was the brightest star in Leicester's defence last season.
In fact, he was enough to shine at the 2018 World Cup.
England were able to reach the semi-finals thanks to Harry Maguire's defence.
As a dragger centre-back, Maguire has taken the characteristics of England's traditional centre-back to the extreme.
There's hardness, there's height, there's impact, and you can head the ball.
Maguire has already attracted enough attention.
For Manchester United, though, they've been watching for a long time.
At this time last year, Jose Mourinho strongly recommended that the club sign Harry Maguire.
However, at that time, the club's transfer department evaluated it and felt that the deal was not a good deal.
How much?
60 million euros.
The asking price may seem a bit high for a centre-back, but for a player who has performed well, is not very young, and has an English household book, the price is fair.
Especially with the good relationship between Xia Xing and Leicester City, it made Vichai at that time not have a lion to open his mouth.
But even so, Manchester United's management is reluctant to shell out the money.
But now, they are short of centre-backs and have no choice but to strike again.
However, after a season of excellent performance, Maguire's value is much higher than it was at the beginning.
But Manchester United management doesn't care!
We buy people, we have to buy at a higher price!
In the end, thanks to the efforts of Manchester United's management, the transfer was finally sold for 87 million euros.
The statement of "Manlift" has once again become a joke among fans.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no choice about it.
Anyway, the club is willing to pay for it, so let's pay it, anyway, I just need someone to bring it.
Harry Maguire quickly joined, and United's second deal was quickly struck.
For 55 million euros, Manchester United signed 21-year-old England defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The talented defender from Crystal Palace just broke into the first team from youth last season.
In just one season, he gave a top performance and was also selected for the national team.
It is also with his excellent performances this season that he has been favored by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
In the end, he joined Manchester United on a high-priced transfer.
The price of 55 million euros is indeed not low for a young man who is just starting out.
However, later, according to rumors in The Sun, when it was learned that Manchester United wanted to buy him, Crystal Palace originally wanted to offer 30 million euros.
But unexpectedly, Manchester United directly offered 40 million euros!
And if you think it's not appropriate, you can continue to talk!
This left Crystal Palace a bit of a blur.
Otherwise, let's try it for 60 million euros?
This time, Manchester United's transfer manager is resolute - expensive!
Definitely expensive!
We contribute up to 55 million euros.
Well, that's where the final deal price comes from.
Although most fans think it's apocryphal, this statement is not groundless.
The two transfers have allowed Manchester United to almost spend a summer's transfer budget, and several other strong signings of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have come to naught.
In the end, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had to settle for the next best thing, bringing in 21-year-old Welsh striker Daniel James.
The Swansea lad spent €17.8 million.
He was also promoted to the first team from Swansea City's youth team last season.
A season's performance is not bad.
He made 33 appearances, scoring four goals and providing seven assists.
As a young player, it's also qualified.
However, for Manchester United's current situation of desperate need of reinforcements in the striker, it is obviously not enough.
In the new season, Manchester United will still have to worry about attacking power in the attack.
Because without buying new strikers, Manchester United sent away two strikers instead.
Romelu Lukaku was sold to Inter Milan, something the Belgian striker had strongly requested to go.
He was not heavily used by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last season and is now adamant about leaving.
Sanchez also left on loan, with Inter Milan also targeted.
At the same time, the two brothers defected to the Serie A giants.
At the same time, Manchester United also cleared the two defenders of Smalling and Darmian, and also sent them to Serie A.
Smalling was loaned out and went to the city of Rome.
Darmian was sold to Parma for a transfer fee of only 2.48 million euros, which is pitifully small, and it is the same as giving it away for nothing.
It looks like a transition is underway, but there is still a lot of danger in the team.
For Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, though, it is not these transfers that are most worried.
What worries him the most is the departure of the captain of the team...... (End of chapter)
