The summer European transfer in 2011 started with Etoo's transfer to the Russian Premier League Anzhi.

In order to get the Cameroonian striker, the Russians offered a huge annual salary of 20 million euros, allowing Etoo, who is over 30 years old, to transfer to Russia at a high price of 27 million euros.

It can be said that once this transfer broke out, it immediately caused a huge response in the entire European football world.

Media and fans around the world have realized that the rules of the European summer transfer market have changed.

Nowadays, those who can call for trouble in the transfer market are no longer those traditional wealthy families, but the wealthy people flocking from all over the world, such as Manchester City's Abu Dhabi consortium, Anzhi's Russian richest man, Paris Saint-Germain's Qatar consortium, and La Liga Malaga's Qatar consortium...

After obtaining huge investment from the boss behind them, these rich teams attacked all over the transfer market, not only raising the overall value of the transfer market, but also robbing traditional wealthy teams.

For example, Atletico Madrid's Aguero.

The Argentine striker has been in contact with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and everyone has basically determined that Aguero either goes to Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​but in the end, no one expected that Manchester City took the initiative, used a 45 million euro termination fee, and persuaded Aguero with a high annual salary, and brought the Argentine striker to the Premier League.

It is obvious that the Abu Dhabi consortium also learned from last year's experience and lessons. At that time, they hesitated for a moment, which led to Valencia's David Silva's transfer to Real Madrid. David Silva's performance at Real Madrid has been obvious to all over the past year, and Manchester City also regrets this.

This time, Manchester City cut the mess with a quick knife and directly took Aguero, causing both Real Madrid and Barcelona to miss the opportunity to strengthen themselves.

Here, after sending Etoo away at a high price, Inter Milan continued to strengthen its pursuit of Higuain.

According to Italian media reports, Benitez has basically agreed to coach Inter Milan, and the Nerazzurri also basically agreed to let Benitez transform Inter Milan according to his own ideas, first of all, to get Higuain.

For this reason, Inter Milan immediately made a offer to Higuain after sending Etoo away.

Xiao Yanbing's performance in Real Madrid is not bad, but because of the fact that the world's superstars like Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic are blocking him in front, it makes him look even more bleak. But in fact, he scored more than twenty goals on all fronts last season, which is very rare.

The transfer market also has a very high evaluation of Higuain, because he is only 24 years old, and Inter Milan takes 30 million euros at one move. It is obvious that he also wants to win Higuain before other competitors such as Juventus and Naples.

After several negotiations, Higuain finally transferred from Real Madrid to Inter Milan for a high price of 35 million euros.

...

Regarding Higuain's transfer, Real Madrid's management can only be considered half-supported.

On the one hand, the Argentine striker really wants to prove himself on a higher stage, rather than living in the shadow of Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic all the honors he can get in Real Madrid.

The defending of the Champions League alone is enough to become the brightest glory of his career.

On the other hand, Real Madrid is not resistant to Higuain's transfer, because the team cannot provide Higuain with the space he wants at the moment, and at least it cannot guarantee his main position. Moreover, after the youth training young player Morata joined the second team, he performed well and could become a qualified substitute.

So, after several considerations, Real Madrid finally made a decision to let Higuain leave the Bernabeu for a transfer fee of 35 million euros and switch to Inter Milan.

After receiving this transfer fee, Real Madrid immediately increased their pursuit of Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder Modric.

The Croatian midfielder has long received attention from Manchester United and Chelsea, but after entering the summer transfer market, especially Real Madrid publicly expressed their interest in Modric, Tottenham Hotspur immediately increased Modric's offer.

Originally they offered Manchester United 20 million euros, but after Chelsea joined, the offer increased by 30 million euros. Now that Real Madrid has intervened, they have even raised the asking price.

Ancelotti coached Chelsea for two years and is very familiar with Modric. He has a very high opinion of the Croatian midfielder and believes that he is the kind of player who can help Real Madrid greatly improve their midfield control.

Therefore, Jose Sanchez, the number one negotiator in Real Madrid and head of the Ministry of Commerce, went to London in person to hold face-to-face negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur CEO Daniel Levi.

Two days later, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur announced that they would introduce Croatian midfielder Luca Modric from Tottenham at a high price of 33 million euros. The 25-year-old midfielder will play for the Bernabeu in the next few years.

...

The two players, Varane and Modric, were signed one after another. After Real Madrid sent Higuain away, the team's streamlined lineup plan was launched again. Argentine midfielder Gago joined Valencia for a transfer fee of 5 million euros.

Since then, during Calderon's administration, Gemini Gago and Higuain, introduced from Argentina, both left Real Madrid in the same summer, which made many media and fans who were very optimistic about them feel very sad.

Higuain left decently, while Gago was unable to gain trust for a long time and did not show his due strength. In the end, he lost his position at the Bernabeu step by step and had to be forced to leave.

In the winter break in 2007, he joined the franchise for 27 million euros and left for 7 million euros four years later. This is the cruelty of the transfer market.

Compared with Gago, Granero's market conditions are better. He transferred from Real Madrid to the Queen's Park Rangers, a Premier League team with a high price of 10 million euros. This Premier League team is determined to relegate in the new season and attaches great importance to Granero and pays tens of millions of transfer fees for this. Granero is also determined to prove himself again in the Premier League.

Just like when he was in Getafe.

After sending away two substitutes, Gago and Granero, Real Madrid loaned young player Canales to Valencia. In this way, there were only six players left in the midfield, namely Kaka, Xavi Alonso, Xavi Martinez, Mascherano, David Silva and Modric.

In terms of staffing, Real Madrid's midfield lineup is so strong that it is better than last season.

However, since Real Madrid is determined to fight on multiple fronts in the new season, the Real Madrid technical team led by Valdano and Zidane decided to introduce another player, and finally introduced the Spanish U21-age midfielder Andel Herrera from Zaragoza for 7.5 million euros.

This 21-year-old Spanish youth team international is currently following the Spanish U21 youth team in the Denmark European Youth Championship. He is the main force that cannot be defeated. He forms the midfield iron triangle of the Spanish national team with Xavi Martinez and Barcelona midfielder Thiago. Herrera is known for his comprehensiveness, both offense and defense, with delicate skills under his feet, and is especially good at passing. Long passes and transfers and passes behind him are his specialties.

Zaragoza is already in a financial crisis and has to sell people to survive. Herrera performed well in La Liga last season, which has attracted the attention of many teams. After being targeted by Real Madrid, the two sides quickly hit it off.

In addition to the transfer fee of 7.5 million euros, Real Madrid also loaned youth training young player Matteos to Zaragoza for training.

...

Since the players introduced by Real Madrid are not big-name stars, the progress is quite smooth, but Barcelona's signings are full of twists and turns, because the transfer budget is limited, they have to be petty.

By the end of June, after Real Madrid had basically bought the players they wanted, Barcelona had not yet reached an agreement with the other party in the two transfer markets of Fabregas and Sanchez.

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid sent Aguero away at a sky-high price of 45 million euros, the bedsheets immediately introduced Colombian striker Falcao from Porto for a sky-high price of 47 million euros, which was a shocking transfer.

Although Falcao performed well, 47 million euros is indeed extremely expensive for a player who has not proved himself in the four major leagues. It is reported that the transfer involves third-party ownership and Mendes.

In addition to Falcao, Atletico Madrid also loaned Brazilian midfielder Diego from Wolfsburg, introduced Turan from Galatasaray, Turkey, spent 12 million euros, and introduced Gabi from Zaragoza for a transfer fee of 3 million euros...

After Aguero transferred to Manchester City, David De Gea eventually failed to keep it. Manchester United got the Van der Sar's successor from the Bedding Team for a high price of 21 million euros.

Diego Fran went to Inter Milan for a transfer fee of 5 million euros.

...

Perhaps because of feeling the hardships in the transfer market, before we could see progress at the end of June, Barcelona began to sell people to raise money, including Boyan, Jefferen, Gabriel Milito, Kyrison, Romeu, Caceres, Heleb and other players were sent out of the Camp Nou one after another.

After raising enough funds, Barcelona finally got the superstar he wanted.

With 39 million euros, Barcelona successfully introduced Fabregas from Arsenal.

A few days later, Barcelona announced that they would introduce Chilean winger Sanchez from Udinese for 26 million euros.

The joining of two generals has also improved Barcelona's overall strength, and they are also introduced specifically for Barcelona's lineup shortcomings. So almost everyone believes that in the new season, Guardiola's team has the opportunity to beat Real Madrid and wash away the shame of last season.

...

After Real Madrid successively introduced players such as Modric and Herrera, Florentino focused on negotiating Neymar's transfer with Brazil's Santos. Real Madrid's chairman is full of interest in Neymar.

His Yang Yang Garobinho's policy was not successful at that time. Now he hopes to adjust it, using the combination of Yang Yang Ganemar as the core of Real Madrid's team formation in the next few years.
