Chapter 728 When we buy people, we must pay more for them!
After an intense season, the top players in the Premier League are looking forward to the new season even more.
There are wealthy teams looking forward to competing for the championship in the new season, and there are mid-range teams looking forward to entering the European theater.
Even if it is just a relegation team, they must go all out to stay in the Premier League and earn at least 100 million more advertising revenue every year.
In this context, each team's recruitment efforts are naturally huge.
Defending champion Manchester City was the first to bear the brunt and successively signed strong reinforcements.
Signed 7000-year-old Spanish midfielder Rodri for 23 euros, and bought 6500-year-old Portuguese defender Cancelo for 25 million euros.
Both transfers were made quickly and decisively.
Next are 19-year-old defender Polo, 22-year-old defender Angelinho, and 24-year-old American goalkeeper Steffen.
These players are preparing the team for the future, and the cost is gradually reaching 5000 million euros.
Overall, Guardiola is quite satisfied with last season's championship-winning lineup. As long as the bench depth is enhanced this season, he can continue to maintain the team's multi-line competitiveness.
Compared to Manchester City's usual arrogance, Arsenal's move surprised many people.
8000 million euros!
Nicola Pepe!
The 24-year-old Ligue forward broke Arsenal's transfer record!
Emery is working hard this season!
In addition to Pepe, Arsenal also spent 3000 million euros to introduce 18-year-old defender Saliba, 2700 million euros to sign 22-year-old defender Tierney, and 870 million euros to buy Brazilian veteran defender David Luiz.
The three transfers will be to strengthen the defense. This summer, many strong teams are doing the same thing.
There is also 18-year-old forward Martinelli, who also cost Arsenal 710 million euros.
At the same time, two young players Saka and Nelson were promoted from the youth team, both of whom are extremely talented.
After a bad season, Emery can't afford to miss anything in the new season.
Arsenal, who have always been frugal, are willing to spend money, and Tottenham, who are also frugal, also spend a lot of money to buy strong reinforcements.
For 6200 million euros, they acquired the 22-year-old French midfielder Ndombele.
This transfer is quite ambitious.
There is also 2700 million euros to sign 19-year-old English teenager Sessegnon, and 1100 million euros to buy 18-year-old England forward Clark.
Both transfers are investments in the future.
The 23-year-old Argentine midfielder Lo Celso joined the team on loan, which is also a big help to Pochettino.
Tottenham also spent more than 100 million euros in the new season.
Chelsea spent 4500 million euros to buy midfielder Mateo Kovacic from Real Madrid.
Leicester City also invested a lot, signing 4500-year-old Belgian star Tielemans for 22 million euros, 3340-year-old Spanish forward Pereira for 25 million euros, and Belgian midfielder Praet for 1920 million euros.
Wolves, seventh in the league last season, also spent 3800 million euros to sign Raul Jimenez. They also bought stars such as Cutrone, Neto, Dendoncker, and Jordan for a total cost of million euros. More than million euros.
Among the average buyers, Manchester United is naturally more aggressive.
The record breaker for a single transfer in the Premier League this season - Manchester United!
The player who set the transfer record is also very familiar to Manchester United fans - Maguire!
The 26-year-old English central defender Maguire was the most dazzling superstar on Leicester City's defense last season.
In fact, he already shined enough in the 2018 World Cup.
England can reach the semi-finals, Maguire's defense is indispensable.
As a deep-lying central defender, Maguire brings the characteristics of England's traditional central defender to the extreme.
It has hardness, height, impact, and can also header the ball.
Maguire has already attracted enough attention.
But for Manchester United, they have been observing it for a long time.
This time last year, Mourinho strongly recommended that the club sign Maguire.
However, the club's transfer department conducted an evaluation at that time and felt that the deal was not worthwhile.
how much is it?
6000 million euros.
This asking price seems a bit high for a central defender, but for a player who has performed well, is young, and has an English household registration, the price is very reasonable.
Especially the good relationship between Xia Xing and Leicester City made Vichai less open-minded at that time.
But even so, Manchester United management is unwilling to spend this money.
But now, they are short on center backs and have no choice but to take action again. However, after an outstanding season, Maguire's worth has been much higher than before.
But Manchester United management doesn't care!
When we buy people, we must pay more for them!
In the end, with the efforts of Manchester United management, the transfer was finally completed for 8700 million euros.
The saying "Man Ti" has once again become a joke among fans.
Solskjaer has nothing to do about it.
Anyway, if the club is willing to pay for it, then let’s do it, as long as the person I want can be brought.
Maguire joined quickly, and Manchester United's second deal was quickly concluded.
For 5500 million euros, Manchester United signed 21-year-old England defender Wan-Bissaka.
This talented defender from Crystal Palace just entered the first team from the youth team last season.
In just one season, he showed top performance and was also selected for the national team.
With his outstanding performance this season, he has won the favor of Solskjaer.
In the end, he transferred to Manchester United for a high price.
The price of 5500 million euros is indeed not low for a young man who has just emerged.
However, it was later rumored by "The Sun" that when they learned that Manchester United wanted to buy someone, Crystal Palace originally wanted to offer 3000 million euros.
But unexpectedly, Manchester United directly quoted 4000 million euros!
And he said that if he felt it was inappropriate, he could continue the conversation!
This left Crystal Palace a bit confused.
Otherwise, let's try offering 6000 million euros?
This time Manchester United's transfer manager is resolute - it's too expensive!
Definitely expensive!
We can offer up to 5500 million euros.
Well, this is how the final transaction price came about.
Although most fans think it is a fabrication, this statement is not groundless.
With two transfers, Manchester United almost spent a summer's transfer budget, and Solskjaer's other strong signings came to naught.
In the end, Solskjaer had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and introduce 21-year-old Welsh forward Daniel James.
The Swansea boy cost 1780 million euros.
He was also promoted to the first team from the Swansea youth team last season.
A season's performance is pretty good.
Played 33 times, scored 4 goals and provided 7 assists.
As a young player, he is considered qualified.
However, for Manchester United's current situation of urgent need for forward reinforcements, this is obviously not enough.
In the new season, Manchester United will still worry about their forward attack power.
Because without buying a new forward, Manchester United also gave away two forwards.
Lukaku was sold to Inter Milan, something the Belgian striker strongly requested to leave.
He was not reused by Solskjaer last season, and now he is determined to leave the team.
Sanchez also left on loan, with the target also being Inter Milan.
This pair of brothers and sisters defected to the Serie A giants at the same time.
At the same time, Manchester United also cleared two defenders, Smalling and Damian, and sent them to Serie A.
Smalling was rented out and went to Rome.
Damian was sold to Parma for a transfer fee of only 248 million euros, which was so pitiful that it was like giving it away for free.
It seems that the replacement of old and new is taking place, but the team is still full of crises.
But for Solskjaer, it's not these transfers that worry him the most.
What he is most worried about is the fate of the team captain... (End of chapter)
