Chapter 239 90 million pound offer Van Dijk, crazy, all crazy!

Two weeks have passed since the end of the Champions League final, and the discussion about this game has gradually stopped on the Internet and in reality.

The eyes of the fans are gradually attracted by the increasingly fierce world preliminaries and summer transfers.

Next year is a World Cup year, I don't know if it's affected by this, the transfer market this summer is very crazy, and many stars have the idea of changing teams in order to play in the World Cup.

Barcelona, who have deep pockets, were stimulated by their old rivals Real Madrid's victory, and continued to wave money and buy big money this summer.

After buying Coutinho for 150 million euros, they spent another 105 million to buy Dembele from Borussia Dortmund.

Neymar's unexpected departure and Messi's increasing age have filled Barcelona with a sense of crisis.

While they still have a glimmer of hope of bringing La Masia's Academy jewel back to Camp Nou, that hope has become even slimmer with the signing of a contract extension with Manchester City last summer.

Therefore, Barcelona had to take precautions and eagerly wanted to find an heir for Messi.

There are rumors through the grapevine that Barcelona seems to have a crush on Atletico Madrid's star Griezmann, but the asking price on Atletico Madrid's side is very high, and if Barcelona really wants to buy it, it is estimated that it will bleed heavily.

Although Dembele is already well-known in the Bundesliga, he has received the attention of many giants.

But he, who spent 35 million euros on Dort only a year ago, has risen by 70 million in just one year, which is really exaggerated.

It is precisely because of this huge transfer that Dortmund has become the new black shop in Europe, and the limelight has even covered the Portuguese giants Porto.

However, not everyone is optimistic about this transfer.

Many industry insiders pointed out that there is a big overlap between Dembele's position and Messi's, which makes his play extremely limited.

Unless Barcelona straighten Dembele right now, he is destined to be a green leaf for Messi at the Camp Nou, which casts a shadow over his prospects.

As for Dembele, this is obviously impossible, Messi has just turned 30 this year, and his peak may continue for a few more years.

Considering his strength, form and huge fame, it is impossible for Barcelona to take him so quickly, unless Messi himself takes the initiative to leave Barcelona.

No matter what the outside world says, Barcelona still attaches great importance to Dembele.

After spending a lot of money to buy Dembele, Barcelona learned the lesson from Neymar and directly raised Dembele's liquidated damages to 400 million euros.

With this liquidated damages, even Grand Paris can't afford to forcibly take Dembele away.

Barcelona is buying people aggressively, but Real Madrid, the new Champions League champion next door, is cleaning up the players in the team.

Colombian star J Ronaldo, who had previously spent 85 million euros on Real Madrid to snatch from a group of giants, was finally purged by Real Madrid.

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have signed a two-year loan deal with Real Madrid, bringing the player who once shined at the World Cup in Brazil to the Allianz Arena.

According to Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, he intends to sell Ronaldo directly.

However, Real Madrid president Florentino does not seem to have completely given up on Ronaldo, and I don't know whether he has taken a fancy to the highlight moment of the other party three years ago, or is affected by the help that the other party can help Real Madrid develop its business territory in Latin America.

The reason why Bayern chose to loan Ronaldo with Real Madrid is nothing more than because Heynckes feels that this person is still capable, maybe Real Madrid is not using it properly, or the other party is not suitable for the style of La Liga.

Give him a change of environment, try it in the Bundesliga, and if it works, activate the buyout clause to buy it, anyway, it's only 40 million euros, which is not very expensive.

If not, you can throw it back to Real Madrid on loan for a while.

Bayern doesn't help people recycle garbage!

In the Premier League, Manchester United have announced several big-ticket transfers.

They first spent €35 million to buy the opposition's young defender Victor Lindelof from Benfica.

It was a modest transfer fee, but it broke the record in Manchester United's history and became the most expensive centre-back in Manchester United's history.

From this alone, it is clear that it is true that Manchester United's backline has not strengthened for a long time.

Look at Liverpool next door, all of them are chasing Van Dijk for 85 million pounds, 35 million euros against 85 million pounds, well, the advantage is mine!

Manchester United is not stingy and reluctant to spend money, but uses the money to buy strikers.

On July 10, Manchester United officially announced that the club brought former Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku, who has been performing very well in recent seasons, from Everton for 85 million euros!

This is the second-highest transfer in the entire football world this summer.

This is not over, a few days later, Manchester United announced that they bought Chelsea's champion midfielder Nemanja Matic for 45 million euros!

Nemanja Matic played 40 games for Chelsea last season, contributing two goals and nine assists, although the stats are not luxurious, and far less impressive than Xiaofa.

But his contribution to Chelsea is evident and Chelsea's defensive hardness that would not have been as good last season without the defensive rigidity he had propped up Chelsea's midfield.

His departure is a big blow to Chelsea, especially as Liverpool and Manchester United are both recruiting this season, and it will be difficult for the Blues to hold on to the league title they have won so hard.

Manchester United's three transfers cover the entire central axis of the front, midfield and backline, and they cost 165 million euros, which is really a big hemorrhage!

But Mourinho is bitter, although the club has strengthened the three lines according to his requirements, why are the people who bought them not the first choice in his mind, all of them are alternatives?

Damn, the club executives are deliberately fooling me, right?

Manchester United are hiring, and Liverpool are not idle.

While spending huge sums of money chasing Van Dijk, Liverpool spent 42 million euros to take the outstanding Egyptian pharaoh - Salah from Rome.

Salah went round and round and returned to the Premier League, but this time, he was no longer joining a team in a blue shirt, but a Red Army with red blood flowing in it!

Moreover, Jurgen Klopp is prepared to use him as a regular in a completely different way from where he was in the Chelsea squad.

For this transfer, the outside world has not paid much attention.

Salah's performance in Serie A is really good, but he is not well-known, the transfer fee is not high, and there is no hype.

More attention has been spent on tracking Liverpool and Manchester City's moves to Virgil van Dijk than on his transfer.

In response to Liverpool's offer of 85 million, Manchester City's reaction was still a direct rejection, and repeatedly stated that Van Dijk was not for sale in the team, he was well at Manchester City and would not go anywhere.

In the face of another refusal from Manchester City, Klopp gritted his teeth and ruthlessly increased the price again, raising the offer to 90 million pounds.

Crazy crazy, either I'm crazy or the world is crazy.

When fans learned the news, their first reaction was to question the authenticity of the news, and when they confirmed that the news was true, they were even more shocked.

If someone spends 100 million pounds chasing a supergiant like Lin Quan, they can still understand it.

Although 100 million pounds is very expensive, this kind of strong, young, and vital supergiant for the team is hard to come by, and it is not a loss at all to spend such a price.

But spending almost £100 million chasing a defender is a loss of heart?

They said they couldn't understand it at all!

Chelsea defender David Luiz surprised them a few years ago when he moved to Paris for £50 million.

I didn't expect that there were still masters, and in just a few years, the price was raised to 90 million pounds!

Football seemed to have become unfamiliar overnight, leaving fans a little confused.

You buy a £90 million defender, how expensive is your striker?

It's all burning money, who can afford to play football?

In fact, it is not that there are no players with good quality and low price, it depends on whether you can seize the opportunity to complete the leakage.

For example, Juventus, the hegemon of Serie A, has just spent 20 million euros to successfully pick up the leak from Grand Paris and take away the opponent's midfielder Matuidi.

20 million euros, in this era of rising transfer fees and serious inflation, there are no good players to buy.

And a star like Matuidi, who has proven his strength in the top giants and is in his playing years, is still the main player of the French national team, can be bought for 20 million euros, let alone fans, even Juventus itself is a little unbelievable.

The reason why Juventus can pick up the leak is also very simple, Grand Paris wants to purge the players in the team to make room for the arrival of Mbappe, Matuidi is the target of purge, Grand Paris does not expect how much money his transfer can make, only hopes that he will leave quickly.

Not to mention Matuidi, even Di Maria was almost purged by Grand Paris, and later let the Angels escape because Manchester City rejected Grand Paris's offer.

Juventus bought Matuidi but were unable to retain the stalwart of the team's defence, Leonardo Bonucci.

Compared to Barzagli and Chiellini, Bonucci was the youngest of Juventus' three-centre-back system, but he did not expect to leave the team first.

And he didn't go to another league, but another giant in Serie A, AC Milan.

After the news of this happened, the Juventus fans who had just been smiling because of the success of the leak were immediately unable to laugh.

Throughout July, in addition to the above-mentioned blockbuster transfer news, there was another transfer news that attracted widespread attention - Barcelona spent 40 million euros from a team in the Chinese Super League to take away the core of the opponent's midfield, the Brazilian international, the former Tottenham player - Paulinho!

The reason why this matter has attracted widespread attention and even discussion among fans is entirely because the Chinese Super League has always bought players from Europe at a high price in the past, and this is the first time that a top European team has bought each other's stars from the Chinese Super League at a high price.

When Paulinho joined Evergrande from Tottenham, the transfer fee was 14 million euros, and two years later, the transfer fee rose to 40 million.

Even if the player's salary is deducted for two years, Evergrande has to earn.

This is the most surprising point, after all, the Chinese Super League plays Jinyuan football, but I didn't expect to be able to make money from Europeans by doing black shops......

……

When various transfer news from the outside world is flying all over the sky, Manchester City, which has been closely watched by many people, seems to be quiet and does not make any moves.

This disappointed many fans, who felt that Manchester City might have started to give up on themselves.

The team's defeat last season exposed a number of problems, and if these weaknesses are not made up for in the transfer period, the new season will certainly cause a lot of problems for Manchester City.

Manchester City is not really completely inactive as the outside world says, in fact, Guardiola has looked at a lot of players during this time.

On 15 July, City made their first deal of the summer window.

But surprisingly, the team is not buying, but selling.

Manchester City have announced that Son Heung-min has moved to Tottenham for €50 million.

Influenced by Mbappe, Son Heung-min's appearances at Manchester City dropped significantly in the second half of last season, and he didn't even make the squad for the Champions League final.

This made him feel very disappointed and confused, and he came up with the idea of trying a different environment, after all, he didn't want to sit on the cold bench all the time.

After frank and in-depth communication with the players, the team respected the players' opinions and agreed to the transfer.

The price of 50 million is not too high, after all, it cost 35 million when he bought Sun Xingmin.

He has improved a lot at Manchester City in the past two years, and his performance on the field is also obvious to all, and Tottenham can buy him at this price, and it is definitely not a loss.

As for Manchester City, they can only barely hold on to their capital!

The departure of Son Heung-min means that Mbappe's status in the team in the new season has risen significantly.

His appearances will certainly increase significantly this season.

It's just that there are still problems in the team's midfield, and David Silva is getting older and his form is starting to decline, so he needs to prepare a substitute.

So, after announcing the transfer, Manchester City immediately used the money earned from the sale of Son Heung-min to buy seat B from Monaco.

Seat B is a player that Pep Guardiola has been eyeing since last season, and the reason why he didn't shoot is because Manchester City has a lot of personnel reserves in this position.

But the hard lesson of the Champions League final taught him that the depth of the bench was still not enough.

It's never too much to store more players in this position, it's a big deal to make them versatile and rotate them often.

And this is also the direction that Guardiola will focus on reform in the future.

He needs his players to be versatile, because in this way they can be better able to meet his demands and complete his tactics well.

If the purchase of seat B is still expected, then Manchester City's 40 million euros to buy Benfica's goalkeeper Ederson is a bit confusing.

Is Keylor Navas not doing well?

Why spend so much money on a goalkeeper?

A goalkeeper of 40 million euros is too extravagant to be used as a substitute.

Therefore, when everyone saw this transfer, they all felt that Manchester City might have to change the goalkeeper.

The fans' guess is correct, Guardiola is indeed a little unhappy with Navas.

Real Madrid's goals in the Champions League final reflect Keylor Navas' weakness in defending high balls.

In addition, he is not the kind of goalkeeper that Guardiola wants, so Guardiola learned from the pain and decided to strengthen the goalkeeper position! (End of chapter)
