Chapter 907 2021 International Football Summer Transfers (3)

In fact, Bruno is not opposed to selling Mbappe.

Indeed, Mbappe's ability is unquestionable. Having partnered with Mbappe for four years, Bruno knows too well the French genius's fascinating ability on the court.

However, Bruno also knows that it is very difficult for Manchester United to keep Mbappe.

This is a player with great ambitions!

Today, the young Mbappe has not yet fully grown up, so Bruno can still suppress him in the team and maintain the team's centripetal force.

However, as Mbappe gradually grows up, he will definitely have more pursuits, even the position of the team's number one star!

Bruno would definitely not give in on this point. At that time, the two would definitely have a conflict, and one of them would definitely leave.

Bruno is not just a player at Manchester United. As long as he doesn't want to, he won't leave the team, so Mbappe is almost bound to leave in the future.

Moreover, according to Bruno's memory, Mbappe is a player with a "childhood dream" plot. In the future, in order to

Of course, because Bruno traveled through in the summer of 2023, he didn't know many things that happened later, and naturally he didn't know that Mbappe would join Real Madrid for free in the future. Otherwise, he would not have refused to sell this French boy.

………………

Because of Manchester United's great success in recent years, countless championships have established it as the world's top club and it is a team that all players want to join.

Under such circumstances, Mbappe did not take the initiative to express his desire to leave Manchester United and look for another place.

After all, for a young man who is just in his early twenties, being able to play for the world's top club and even secure a starting position is something that any of his peers would envy.

Of course, Bruno has now demonstrated his strength to crush everyone. Even Harry Kane, England's top star who is in his prime, is willing to help Bruno at Manchester United, so Mbappe dare not have any other thoughts.

However, as Mbappe grows, he will pursue more and more things, such as higher salary, the position of the team's first player, and even the highest honors for professional players: the European Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year!

At Manchester United, it is almost impossible for Mbappe to get these, at least in the short term.

After all, Bruno is only 27 years old and has at least three to four years of his prime.

In fact, with Bruno's self-discipline that is even better than Ronaldo's, as well as his almost abnormal resistance to injuries, it is very likely that he can maintain his peak until the age of 36 or 37 like Ronaldo.

After all, Bruno plays as an attacking midfielder, a position that requires more experience and brains. However, his explosive power and reaction speed, which are more dependent on age and physical conditions, are relatively low.

If this is true, it will be even more impossible for Mbappe to succeed if he stays at Manchester United.

Therefore, leaving Manchester United and seeking the opportunity to lead the team alone became inevitable.

In the past few seasons, Manchester United has had a strong dominance in the Premier League and Europe. Leaving Manchester United and going to other teams may not necessarily win more championships, but it will give him the opportunity to challenge Bruno.

How to choose among these is a matter of personal opinion.

………………

After obtaining Bruno's opinion, Manchester United and Real Madrid officially started negotiations on the transfer of French striker Kylian Mbappe.

Manchester United: Mbappe is not for sale, we won’t sell him!

Real Madrid: Okay, little bro, 200 million euros, a sincere price, that's it.

Manchester United: It's not about the money.

Real Madrid: 210 million.

Manchester United: Brothers, we said, this is not about money. Although we are a small team, we also have dignity. We are not...

Real Madrid: Okay, let’s go.

Manchester United: …

After waiting for two days, there was still no response from Real Madrid. Although Manchester United's general manager Cristiano Giarreta had his own judgment, he still went to discuss the matter with head coach Mourinho.

Mourinho: Stay calm! Don't panic!

Giaretta: But they haven’t made an offer in a few days…

Mourinho: It's okay, we don't have to sell the French kid. Good players are easy to sell. Even if we don't sell him, it's a good thing if he stays in the team!

Giaretta: Well then...

………………

On the afternoon of August 2021, 8, local time in the UK, the 7 Premier League prelude, the 2021th Community Shield kicked off at the new Wembley Stadium, with Manchester United, the 19-2020 Premier League champion and FA Cup champion, facing Manchester City, the league runner-up.

The English Community Shield, formerly known as the Charity Shield, was founded in 1908. Its predecessor was the London Sheriff (Derval) Shield competition first created in 1898. Initially, the game was held at the end of each season, and later changed to around October every year.

In March 2002, the British government pointed out in a report that the English Football Association had violated the relevant regulations on the use of funds when using the income from the Charity Shield. The Charity Shield was also forced to change its name to the Community Shield since 3. This year is the 2003th Community Shield.

As the Premier League champion and the team with the most FA Cup titles, Manchester United is undoubtedly the team with the most participations and titles, whether it is the previous Charity Shield or the renamed Community Shield.

Historically, since winning the first championship trophy in 1908, Manchester United has won a total of 14 Charity Shields and 11 Community Shields.

Different from other cup competitions, the prize for the winning team of this event is not a trophy but a shield, so the name of the competition is not called the XX Cup.

Since a large number of players from both teams participated in the European Cup and the America's Cup in the summer, the training and preparations of both teams in the summer were affected to a certain extent. In addition, the Community Shield was originally a warm-up match, so both sides paid limited attention to this event.

In the end, after a dull battle, Manchester United defeated Manchester City 1:0 with a direct free kick scored by Bruno in the game, winning the championship trophy of this event for the 26th time in history.

………………

After winning this game, it also announced that the 2021-2022 Premier League season is really about to begin!

On this day, Manchester United and Real Madrid finally continued the transfer negotiations on Mbappe. After leaving Manchester United alone for a few days, Real Madrid responded.

After leaving Manchester United out for several days, Real Madrid has finally raised their offer for French striker Kylian Mbappe again: 2 million euros.

Compared with the offer a few days ago, Real Madrid directly increased it by 1500 million euros.

This price even exceeds the highest transfer record in football history of 2 million euros set by Neymar's transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain four years ago.

This time, Manchester United did not respond with any high-sounding words like "we will not sell players for money", but replied directly: Brother, this price is too low, it won’t work.

Then, Real Madrid went offline again and did not respond.

"Don't worry about it, just wait." Giarretta was confident. After several rounds of bargaining, he was sure that Real Madrid was very interested in Mbappe and was not afraid of losing this fat sheep.

What's more, as Bruno and Mourinho said, Manchester United does not have to sell Mbappe.

Manchester United is not in a hurry regarding Mbappe's transfer.

………………

Just when Real Madrid was offline again and was planning to leave Manchester United alone, something shocking happened in the world of football again: Barcelona's star player, the Argentine Yosi, left the Red and Blue Army as a free agent and joined the French Ligue 1 upstart Paris Saint-Germain!

In fact, Yosi's transfer is one of the most watched events in world football in recent times.

As early as August 8, Barcelona officials had announced that the team would not renew Yosi's contract.

The Spanish giants suffered losses of 2020 million euros in the 2021-4.87 season and are heavily in debt.

Due to La Liga's Financial Fair Play Act restrictions, the Catalan team cannot afford Yosi's high salary and is unable to register him.

In 2017, Barcelona and Yosi signed the Argentine's last contract in Barcelona, ​​with a total amount of 5.5 million euros and a contract period of four years, averaging about 1.1 million euros per year. This contract means that Yosi's annual salary is more than the five main players of Barcelona combined.

This contract not only includes a fixed annual salary and image rights income, but also additional income such as renewal bonuses and loyalty bonuses.

Specifically, Yosi's annual salary is about 6132.85 million euros, and his image rights income is 1082 million euros, totaling about 7200 million euros. In addition, the contract also includes a renewal bonus of about 1.15 million euros and a loyalty bonus of 7800 million euros.

Although this contract made Yosi the highest-paid player in world football for a time, and returned to the throne of the world's number one football player in another way, it also placed a heavy financial burden on Barcelona.

In addition, Barcelona has introduced many high-priced players in the past few years, such as Suarez, Griezmann, De Jong, Depay, etc., but most of the signings were not successful, further exacerbating the financial pressure on the club.

According to La Liga rules, clubs must set a salary cap for players and coaches based on the difference between revenue and costs. In Barcelona's current situation, even if Yosi agrees to a significant salary cut, Barcelona's salary expenditure will still account for 110% of its revenue, which is much higher than the 70% level.

Laporta said in a previous press conference that the club is above everything, even above the best players in the world.

On August 8th local time, Yosi himself held a press conference at the Camp Nou Stadium to bid farewell to Barcelona fans.

Until now, Yosi joined Paris Saint-Germain, which finally brought this farce to an end.

However, Yosi's departure from Barcelona to join Paris Saint-Germain has put his good brother Aguero in an awkward situation.

The former Manchester City striker refused to renew his contract with his old club Manchester City and joined Barcelona as a free agent. He originally wanted to join his good brother and curry favor with him, but in the end, the big brother ran away.

This is really embarrassing!

Maybe Aguero has fainted in the toilet?
