After winning the warm-up match against Aberdeen, Werder Bremen has only one final warm-up game left in July.

Coach Schaaf was very pleased with the team's attacking coordination in the midfield in these two games.

With the addition of Lin Quan and Kevin De Bruyne, Werder Bremen's frontcourt firepower this season has increased compared to last season.

However, the team's backline still has problems, so he started to look for the defender he wants in the transfer market.

He first made a €1.5 million offer for Liberec's defender, 26-year-old Theodor Selassie.

Liberec were champions of the Czech First Division last season and will play in the Champions League next season.

Therefore, they were reluctant to sell their players at a low price at this time, and in the face of Werder Bremen's offer, they rejected it outright, saying that Selassie was not for sale.

However, because the level of the Jet A is low and the attention is not high, it is difficult for them to retain players who have been invited by the top five leagues.

As long as the other party makes an offer that is enough to impress them, they will eventually agree to the player's transfer.

Schaff is well aware of this, after all, these leagues in Eastern Europe, such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland, and even the Ukrainian league, are the home of the Bundesliga.

They want to buy people from these places, unless they are favored by the big clubs of the five major leagues at the same time, otherwise there is nothing they can't buy!

So he added 300,000 euros to his offer of 1.5 million euros and made another offer of 1.8 million euros.

Liberec was struck by the offer, and Selassie was not an indispensable and absolute workhorse in their opinion.

If they get the 1.8 million euros from Werder Bremen, they can go to the transfer market and buy some young demons to cultivate, as long as one of these demons can cultivate a star, they will earn.

So they accepted Werder Bremen's offer and agreed on the transfer.

Selassie can play as a full-back and a full-back, so he can be considered a versatile player.

However, the position of the team's central defender has not been strengthened, and players need to be continued to be purchased.

Before he could buy him, he had to buy the team's main centre-back, Socrates Papastathopoulos, who had been on loan from Genoa.

The Greek is now 24 years old, in his prime, and he was already worth 8 million euros two years ago.

However, after joining AC Milan in the 09-10 season, the value plummeted to 2 million euros because of the fierce competition in the team and the lack of playing time.

Werder Bremen took him on loan last season and his performances have earned him unanimous recognition from fans and clubs alike over the course of a season.

Scharf thinks that this is a player with a lot of strength and potential, so he offers 2 million to buy him out.

Although Genoa was not prepared to recall Papastathopoulos, they did not want to sell it so cheaply.

Especially when he performed so well in the Bundesliga last season, the price of 2 million was not enough to impress them.

So they rejected Werder Bremen's offer and said they would need at least 5 million euros to take the Greeks.

This price is beyond Werder Bremen's bottom line, Scharf gritted his teeth, increased the price to 3.5 million euros, and told Genoa that this is Werder Bremen's bottom line, and no matter how high it is, he will not buy it.

As soon as Genoa heard the offer, they immediately agreed to the deal, making Coach Schaaf understand that he had been tricked, and he was immediately angry.

But he was angry, he still knew in his heart that he had picked up a big bargain.

3.5 million euros to buy a main central defender who can play for the team for at least seven or eight seasons is too lucrative!

And, with Socratis Papastathopoulos' performance in the Bundesliga last season, if he can continue his excellent performances this season.

Then he is very likely to be favored by some giants, and if the team wants to resell it, he will not be able to sell it at all, and he can even make a lot of money.

So he informed the club and quickly signed Papastathopoulos.

With the two defenders in mind, Werder Bremen's budget is running out.

Therefore, he had to sign Dusseldorf's central defender Lukimuja last season for a free fee.

Lukimuya is a free agent, but he is not weak.

He was at the heart of Fortuna Dusseldorf's Ligue 1 attack last season and was preparing to move to Cologne in the Bundesliga.

However, Cologne was unexpectedly relegated last season, which led to the transfer falling through.

He didn't want to play in the lower leagues, but in the face of the olive branch extended by Werder Bremen, he naturally accepted it without hesitation.

After signing three defenders and promoting a young man from the team's echelon, the petty Werder Bremen ended their transfer for the season.

This summer, Werder Bremen received 11.25 million euros from transferring players and 6.25 million euros on buying and lending players.

It is a net profit of 5 million euros, which is a small profit.

Unlike Werder Bremen's thrifty housekeeping and budget-conscious, this year, in the transfer market of European football, local tycoons spent a lot of money and frantically bought their favorite players.

Russian Premier League tycoon St. Pietro Zenit took away the transfer of Porto striker Hulk with an offer of 50 million euros, letting the world know the terrible financial power of the Russian oligarchs.

And Paris Saint-Germain took away the transfer of the opponent's main defender Thiago Silva from AC Milan for the second highest price in history of 42 million euros, which not only almost broke the record for the transfer fee of football defenders, but also let the world know the arrogance of the Middle East tycoons.

Unwilling to be lonely, the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich bought Javi Martinez, the main defender of Athletic Bilbao, for 40 million.

This transfer directly broke the transfer record in the history of the Bundesliga, raising the threshold from 33 million euros to 40 million euros.

However, Martinez's performance in the Bundesliga has not been good, and frequent injuries have caused him to play a lot of times, and his form has plummeted.

This record-breaking transfer was quite a failure for Bayern, but that's all for later.

The madness of the local tyrants seems to have ignited the enthusiasm of the major giants to buy people.

So, they also took action.

Chelsea bought Eden Hazard from Lille for £32 million.

Real Madrid took Modric from Tottenham for £30 million.

Arsenal captain Robin van Persie moved to the Red Devils for £24 million. 、

……

All kinds of transfer news are overwhelming, and these have nothing to do with Lin Quan and others.

However, on the Barcelona side, the World Sports newspaper disclosed a piece of grapevine:

A club in the Soviet Super League made an offer to Barcelona for 5 million euros, hoping to bring Lin Quan of the youth team to play in the Super League.

Because of its small size and lack of follow-up, it was quickly forgotten.

Lin Quan didn't even know about it at all.

However, on the Barcelona side, there are people who can't sit still.

"Damn, what the hell did that kid do, why did someone make an offer before the Bundesliga even started?"
