As the end of the season approaches, Lister's agent becomes busier and busier. Manchester City, a new upstart, is already working hard to bring in players.
When Abramovich first came to Chelsea, he directly wrote a blank check and bought whoever he wanted. Today, Alfa Hime is even better than Abramovich. But with List's advice, he can buy whoever he wants.
, he did not buy players casually like Abramovich. Buying players is very step-by-step.
After Kompany arrived, Manchester City's next target was a veteran. Because Liverpool had already begun to contact Hobrachian and reached an agreement on the introduction of Mascherano. With Mascherano
, coupled with a defensive midfielder like Sissoko, so Gilberto Silva is ready to leave Liverpool, and Liverpool agrees. Gilberto Silva will be 31 years old soon, but his performance is still acceptable.
Historically, Gilberto Silva was still selected into the Brazilian national team for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and was the absolute main force of the Brazilian national team at that time. Gilberto Silva was already thirty-four years old at the time
, in addition to Brazil's lack of a good defensive midfielder, Gilberto Silva has maintained his condition very well.
Although he will be thirty-one soon, his price is not that cheap. After all, he is still Liverpool's defensive midfielder this season. If he had not passed the age of thirty, he would be a player worth at least 15 million pounds. In the end
Manchester City spent eight million pounds to introduce Gilberto Silva from Liverpool.
Even though he is 31 years old, Manchester City fans are still very happy. Compared with so-called genius central defenders like Kompany, Gilberto Silva is much more famous. During his career, he won the World Cup as the main defensive midfielder.
Champion, European Cup champion, and even won two Champions League titles with Liverpool. He is a very low-key and powerful midfielder among the current Premier League midfielders.
Players like Haman and Reina are many times higher than what Manchester City has now. And the important thing is that players like Haman and Reina are already thirty-four years old. There is no way to compete with Gilberto.
Compared with Silva, Hamann and Reina are all players that Manchester City is ready to clean up.
With the example of Chelsea, Manchester City fans really like to have an oil tycoon. Look how long it has been since he came here, and they have already introduced famous generals like Gilberto Silva and Kompany.
Talented central defender.
But Manchester City has not stopped recruiting at all. The next player he targets is the really difficult player, and that is Dortmund's midfielder Modric.
Modric is the most difficult player to introduce. Modric's performance in Dortmund has shocked European football. In the Bundesliga rating list, Modric ranks first in the midfield position. Modric has excellent skills and extraordinary skills.
His ability is also very good, his passing is also good, and the most important thing is that as a technical player, his defensive awareness is also very good. And Modric not only performs well in the club, he has also become a leader in the current national team.
Core midfielder. Performed extremely well in the European Cup qualifiers.
Therefore, there are not just one or two clubs that are interested in him. Many wealthy clubs have already begun to contact Dortmund. It stands to reason that Manchester City is the least competitive. After all, Manchester City has struggled to avoid relegation this season. Manchester City cannot even compare with Dortmund.
.
But it's different with List. Modric's agent Mario Mamic is List's younger brother, and the relationship between the two is very good. List has been very supportive of Mario Mamic some time ago.
Therefore, when it comes to Modric, List has done a much better job than other clubs.
"Lister, do you really think Manchester City can develop?"
Although the two have a good personal relationship, Mario Mamic is still very worried. After all, Manchester City is an upstart and is still relegated this season. Who can say what the future will bring. Although there is Chelsea's example, in the past ten years,
There are not just one or two clubs that have been ruined by rich people. Therefore, although he believes in List, he cannot make fun of his own players. Currently, Modric is the best player in Mamic's hands.
"Mario, you have never seen the generosity of these Middle Eastern rich people. They don't regard money as money at all. Their economic strength far exceeds Abramovich. As long as they have players they like, let them spend a summer
They won't blink an eye at hundreds of millions of pounds. That's two years. No other strong team in the Premier League can ignore Manchester City."
"But Manchester City is a small team after all."
"Mario, it is more important just because it is the beginning. Modric's salary in Dortmund is only 70,000 pounds or 80,000 pounds a week, there is no problem. As long as he performs well, he can earn 100,000 pounds or 120,000 pounds.
Manchester City will never be stingy with £150,000. Mario, do you believe me this time?"
"kindness."
Mamic nodded. Recently, Mamic has been in contact with many clubs, all of which are strong teams in European football. However, none of these people together are as important as Riester. Mamic trusts Riester very much, because there have been many clubs in Croatia in recent years.
All the stars came to the mainstream European leagues. It was all with List's help. He decided to trust List.
"Liester, don't Manchester City need a defender?"
"Why, you want to recommend one."
"How about Joel Luca?"
List did not answer immediately. Because List knew that Mamic was offering a bundled deal to Manchester City. Since he wanted Modric, he bought Joel Luca together.
Riester was not angry. Because friendship is friendship and business is business. What Mamic is doing now is normal, and the Joel Luka recommended by Mamic is very strong. He is another talented defender from the Croatian defense line, known as
He is the strongest tall full-back in the world. Joel Luca is a right-back. He is 1.93 meters tall and is very good at the full-back position.
"There should be no problem. Just wait for my news."
Of course there is no problem. What kind of club is Manchester City? Manchester City now has nothing but money. Al Fahim doesn't care about spending money at all. There is only one thing he cares about most. That is whether spending money can buy good players. He can't wait to bring the world to the world.
All the good players have been bought by Manchester City. They have already brought in Gilberto Silva and Kompany, but they are still afraid of bringing in other stars.
Soon Manchester City once again shocked the English football world. Because they took action too quickly. All the strong teams in English football were eyeing him. Modric, who had been in frequent contact with Dortmund to introduce him, suddenly announced that he would transfer to Manchester City next season.
For clubs like Dortmund, they like to do business with wealthy clubs. Because the only ones who can be long-term customers are these wealthy and powerful teams. They are stable customers. Clubs like Manchester City want to grab players from them.
There is only one most direct way, and that is to get money. It is far more than the price offered by those wealthy families.
Manchester City paid a price of 22 million pounds for Modric, a talented star that European football is coveting, and bought the Croatian star from Dortmund. This is not a small amount, because if converted into euros, the money is more than
Thirty million euros. Modric is not yet twenty-two years old. The transfer fee is already thirty million euros. No club in European football will pay so much money. This time Manchester City has shown people what it means to be a nouveau riche.
, what is a Middle East oil tycoon.
And after buying Modric, Manchester City also bought another player from Croatia. A talented defender Joel Luka who is only 21 years old. It is not cheap. Manchester City spent 1,300 to introduce him.
million euros.
So far, Manchester City has spent more than 50 million pounds before the summer transfer has started. It has introduced a veteran Gilberto Silva, three talented players Kompany, Joel Luca, Mo
Delic. Of course, this is only on the surface. To bring them, Manchester City spent more than 70 million pounds.
Just like snatching Modric, Manchester City spent a lot of money. In addition to Modric's transfer fee of 22 million pounds, Manchester City also paid high commissions to List and Mamic, plus Modric.
Manchester City also paid a high signing bonus. The salary was also 100,000 pounds a week, making him one of the highest-paid people in the Premier League. Overall, Manchester City spent nearly 30 million pounds to introduce Modric. The contract value exceeded 2,000 pounds.
million pounds.
But spending this amount of money is not a big deal at all. Although his own net worth is only 3 billion pounds, Mansour behind him has 20 billion pounds. And the group behind the two of them is
It has assets of 500 billion pounds. Faced with such huge assets, not to mention tens of millions of pounds, or even hundreds of millions of pounds are nothing.
Everyone felt the aggressive attitude of Manchester City. Because no one knew how Manchester City would act or who they would buy. What surprised them most was that Manchester City did not spend money indiscriminately. The stars they introduced were all very good.
Outstanding star. If this summer were to spend more than 100 million pounds like Abramovich did, Manchester City's strength would definitely change qualitatively.
…………
In addition to being busy with Manchester City matters, List has devoted himself wholeheartedly to Messi's transfer. Now there are rumors about Messi one after another. Chelsea's sporting director Arnesen said that Chelsea is willing to spend 35 million pounds to bring Messi.
West. Some media also said that because of Leicester's relationship with Manchester City, they are willing to spend 40 million pounds to introduce Messi.
Although there is some nonsense, it still caused a real stir. The more reliable news is the news from Real Madrid and Barcelona. Calderon is willing to spend huge sums of money to bring Messi, and they are willing to pay 45 million euros to bring him in.
Messi. The same is true for Barcelona. There are already rumors that Barcelona will sell Ronaldinho to raise funds to bring in Messi.
Lister is sitting on the Diaoyutai, and representatives of those clubs come to Lister to meet. Lister's request is very simple, just give him money. If you don't have money, get out.
As the newspaper said, there were only two clubs left. One was Real Madrid and the other was Barcelona. While talking, Lister had already put aside Real Madrid because Calderon really disappointed Lister. Riester doesn't understand why Calderon is willing to spend more than 20 million in transfer fees on ordinary players, but he doesn't dare to invest in Messi. Why he doesn't dare to invest in those truly top players. The money spent on those mediocre players adds up, and buying Messi doesn’t have to be so tiring.
At present, only Barcelona has the most sincerity and strength. Barcelona is very sincere. Begilistan came in person several times to discuss Messi's transfer with Riester. At the most important moment, La Liga Porta also came over to talk to Rist in person. In the past, he looked down on Barcelona because of Cesc Fabregas's transfer. But after talking to them in person about the transfer of a player of Messi's caliber, Rist discovered that Barcelona The issue of money is not as harsh as imagined. On the contrary, Laporta is far more courageous than Calderon. After meeting Calderon twice, the negotiations between List and Barcelona were almost completed, and only the remaining matters were Some parts of Messi's contract.
In particular, the issue of Messi's liquidated damages was deadlocked there. Everything else was easy to negotiate with List, but when it came to this, List shook his head and said: "150 million euros is simply impossible."
