The madness of the summer of '09 began.

In this summer without the European Championship, without the World Cup, all eyes are on European football. Every day when people wake up, they have to look at the front page of the newspaper or the headline of the sports column.

It all started with an old man named Florentino Pérez Rodríguez becoming president of Real Madrid again on June 1.

On May 14, Florentino announced his candidacy for the presidency of Real Madrid at the Ritz Grand Hotel in Madrid.

In the early hours of June 1, Florentino automatically became the new president of Real Madrid as the sole candidate. On the evening of the same day, the "Chilean Engineer" Manuel Pellegrini was appointed as the team's head coach, Valdano as the club's director and assistant to the president, Padessa as the sporting director, and Zinedine Zidane as the president's special adviser.

Then, the summer madness began completely.

On June 8, Real Madrid officially announced the signing of Brazilian star Kaka from AC Milan for a transfer fee of 65 million euros. After the "phonegate" experience, the Rossoneri are now completely in financial difficulties. The only thing that can be done is to sell their former prince to Real Madrid, who will not be short of money, and save them from danger.

At a time when Kaka's transfer news has not yet calmed down, another bomb has been detonated in European football.

"Manchester United have accepted a record offer from Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo will be part of Real Madrid." Marca writes.

Another Madrid sports newspaper, "As", said: "Real Madrid has bound Cristiano Ronaldo, although he is still a Manchester United player." ”

Two consecutive local media in Madrid, Spain, reported that Ronaldo had signed for Real Madrid.

Although there is no official announcement from Manchester United and Real Madrid, the news seems to be known to everyone.

Then, more details were revealed.

El País, Spain's largest newspaper with the largest circulation, used the headline "Cristiano Ronaldo, 94 million", with the following words: "Manchester United accepted Real Madrid's offer of 94 million euros, as long as Real Madrid meets Ronaldo's personal conditions, the transfer will be completed." Le Monde noted: "After the double confirmation of Manchester United and Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo has set a new record for the transfer fee of a player. The newspaper also revealed that "Ronaldo will sign a six-year contract with Real Madrid, with an annual salary of 10 million euros after tax." ”

Even UEFA has joined in.

Describing the incident, UEFA's official website reads: "The Premier League champions have accepted Real Madrid's offer for Cristiano Ronaldo and will later be made official by Real Madrid, with the transfer expected to be completed before the end of this month." The headline on FIFA's official website is succinct: "Manchester United agree to sell Cristiano Ronaldo." ”

Seeing this, Manchester United Club of the English Premier League and Real Madrid of Spain have issued statements on their official websites, confirming that both clubs have accepted each other's transfer requests, and Ronaldo will transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid before June 30.

One summer, the arrival of two world footballers suddenly put all the pressure on the new Champions League champion Barcelona.

Even if the new season has not started yet, if Barcelona does not act here, then it can be said that the season has not yet started, and Barcelona has already lost here.

Barcelona here are scrambling to get a big deal done quickly.

However, Inter Milan's offer for Ibrahimovic seems delicate here, and instead they have come and kept asking Eto'o for the price.

Barcelona here are keen to add Africans to Ibrahimovic's transfers, not only to reduce the transfer fee a little, but also to get rid of Samuel Eto'o, the player at the top of Pep Guardiola's purge.

It doesn't feel right, and that's what Pep Guardiola said when he explained why Samuel Eto'o had to leave Barca, and the perfunctory meaning couldn't have been more obvious, as the African player with the most goals in La Liga history, couldn't have been rewarded with a contract extension.

Here Inter Milan ignored Barcelona's bid and kept asking Eto'o for it.

Originally, Barcelona also wanted to stalemate with Inter here, but after they received the news that Inter were ready to turn around and bring in Leeds United striker Kuyt, they couldn't sit still.

So, they first agreed to Inter's offer for Eto'o, and first cleaned up the people who needed to be cleaned up, at least without smashing the players in their hands.

As soon as they took over the deal for Samuel Eto'o, there was a big news break in the British media on the other side.

"Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has joined Leeds United for €46 million plus a player swap."

People here at Barcelona are stupid.

They felt like they were being played by Inter Milan and Leeds United.

This time, not only did he not buy the striker he wanted, but he also sold his striker.

But after discovering that they were deceived, they can only continue to look for stars in the transfer market. After walking around, I found that there are really few frontcourt players who really meet the requirements, and they have to be strong and famous.

In the end, they set their sights on the "Dutch gang" that Real Madrid was preparing to purge.

And Van Persie is their ultimate goal.

But the question is, will Real Madrid sell to Barca?

^^^

"Coach, we're rivals next season."

On the phone, Van Persie was talking to George Lee.

It's the middle of July, and the transfer war in European football is still in full swing. Just now, Manchester City, a new force in the Premier League, which is also throwing money at the transfer market, was exposed to a piece of news.

They are ready to bring in Dutch striker Robin van Persie, who once played for Leeds United, from Real Madrid, and the transfer fee has not yet been revealed.

But according to media estimates, there will certainly be no less.

After all, the price of European football is really a bit high by these bigwigs.

Originally, Manchester United and Manchester City both wanted to bring in Van Persie, but Manchester United, who had just lost Cristiano Ronaldo, still pinned their hopes on Tevez, who had performed very well before he could stay.

However, there has been no agreement on wages.

Real Madrid, who couldn't wait, sold Van Persie directly to Manchester City.

"Has it been decided, how did I hear that there seems to be something wrong with the physical examination."

"It shouldn't be a big problem, I'm ready to look for a house in the UK. I'm going back to Leeds in a few days to get together with Alain. ”

"Why don't you look for me?"

"Isn't this afraid that you will beat me, you can rest assured that I will definitely not stay when I meet Leeds United next season."

After Van Persie went to Real Madrid, he did not play very well, mainly because Real Madrid's frequent changes of coaches here made him have no fixed position and tactics. It's also to blame George Li, who played all positions in the front field when Van Persie was at Leeds United before, and Van Persie has been short of people to play after he went to Real Madrid.

Now if he can pass the physical examination and return to the Premier League, then George Lee really has to pay attention to Manchester City.

The two of them talked and laughed, on the one hand, they kept recalling Van Persie's previous time at Leeds United, and on the other hand, they talked about the recent transfer situation in the Premier League and European football.

Before you know it, it's been night.

Shortly after hanging up the phone with Van Persie, George Lee suddenly saw a new transfer news.

Manchester City have officially signed a five-year contract with Argentine striker Carlos Tevez, who will wear the number 32 shirt. Manchester City did not officially disclose the specific details of the transfer, but according to the Manchester Evening News, the Daily Mail and the Mirror, Manchester City paid £25 million to sign Tevez. In addition, the Mirror revealed that Tevez's weekly salary at Manchester City will be as high as £150,000, second only to Robinho's £160,000.
