Chapter 437 Wirtz in action

Real Madrid has been chasing for a long time. This time Florentino found Li Yude's agent Wirtz again, and the French were a little embarrassed.

With enough sincerity, they called and even came to discuss the matter time and time again. Each time, Wirtz was unable to help.

Other agents have a lot of say in dealing with players, but he almost only takes orders from Li Yu.

In any case, Wirtz has to play his role this time. Not to mention the benefits promised by Florentino himself, for Li Yu's future, Wirtz also needs to put pressure on Manchester United.

When Ferguson was in office, Li Yu's contract renewal had been put aside. It wasn't that Wirtz didn't want to talk about it, but that Li Yu kept stopping him from going too far. Wirtz couldn't understand what Li Yu was thinking.

Maybe this is the biggest difference between Easterners and Westerners. Westerners are practical, both in public and private matters. However, Li Yu, as an Easterner, always feels that he should leave some room and not make things bigger. Sometimes

You can ignore your own interests and still maintain a happy cooperation.

Wirtz also has to take charge this time, and the way he helps Real Madrid cannot be exaggerated. When talking about Li Yude's contract extension, if we can't agree on a new contract, then consider Real Madrid's offer!

This kind of trick is no longer considered a trick in the world configuration. They are fighting for more benefits for their players, and no one can say anything.

Li Yu's strength is obvious to all. Rooney only played half a season and barely played well. His weekly salary exceeded Li Yu's, reaching 250,000 pounds before tax.

In Wirtz's view, it is not difficult to obtain a pre-tax contract of 280,000 to 300,000 pounds for Li Yu. If even this requirement cannot be met, breaking up will be a relief for both parties.

Without communicating with Li Yu beforehand, Wirtz went to Manchester United to discuss contract renewal.

Appearing in Manchester at this time, the British media are not fools. A storm is about to come, and now is the most critical moment.

In fact, Manchester United has been hesitant about selecting a coach, which has attracted a lot of doubts from the media. The old people are unwilling to take it, and the young people are afraid that the standard is not enough. No matter how hesitant, the day lily will be gone.

CEO Gill can't always direct training and games during the season!

This summer, almost all of the biggest news in European football revolves around Manchester United, which lacks a head coach.

Of course, people's attention is always there, and the media will naturally focus on every little detail of Manchester United.

In addition to the news about Manchester United, Arsenal is also having a hard time. Now Arsenal has become a player supermarket. Every season, heavyweight players transfer and leave, but it is difficult to see Wenger in terms of signings.

If there is any big move, after another year of tinkering, maybe there will be players who can play and be sold.

Manchester City officially announced the signing of Clichy, the iron gatekeeper of Arsenal's defense. This "veteran" who has occupied the main position in the Arsenal team for the longest time in recent years has officially announced his departure from the team. For head coach Arsene Wenger, such "bloodshed"

"It has just begun, and the next one who will definitely leave will undoubtedly be the team's standard-bearer and core Fabregas.

The latest news from today's "Guardian" revealed that Fabio Francesco, who has just returned to London, will formally discuss with his mentor Arsene Wenger on the matter of leaving Arsenal and transferring to Barcelona and the specific details on Tuesday, British local time, today.

This will be a decisive meeting. Francesco, who has played for the Gunners for 8 years, is likely to end his Chiefs career. According to reports, Francesco has returned to Arsenal's training center on Monday and carried out routine activities.

General small sports recovery training. And his future issue will be face-to-face communication with Wenger the next day, although Xiaofa himself has made up his mind to leave.

As for the price, the Guardian revealed that Barcelona raised Francesco’s offer last week to a total price of 35 million pounds. Although it was an increase from the previous offer of 27 million pounds, it was still in line with the Gunners’ price of 40 million pounds. There are differences in price. However, both Barcelona and Frenchman himself are full of optimism that the three parties can formally reach an agreement within this week. The Guardian said that Frenchman hopes to reach an agreement before Arsenal’s trip to Malaysia and China. Finalize a transfer to Barcelona so that he doesn't have to make a futile expedition to East Asia.

As for Barcelona, ​​the "Guardian" stated that Chairman Rosell also rushed back to Europe from South America today. Due to the good relationship with Arsenal's executive director Ivan Gazidis, Barcelona is confident that he will be able to return to Europe after this week. In fact, last summer, Barcelona and Arsenal almost reached an agreement on the transfer of Francesco at a price of 36 million pounds. It was only because of Wenger's unilateral obstruction that the two clubs finally reached an agreement. I can only give up.

The "Mirror" revealed that Barcelona hopes to use Jon Toral and Bellerin, two former La Masia youth training elites who have been signed by Arsenal, as bargaining chips. The Catalan giant believes that the Gunners On the one hand, it was illegal operations that led to the acquisition of Barcelona's future stars. According to FIFA regulations, each player must pay compensation of 350,000 pounds, but Arsenal insists that they made a reasonable acquisition under the conditions allowed by the rules.

In addition, Alvarez, who was previously designated by Wenger as the successor to Francesco, has confirmed to join Inter Milan. Arsenal seems to have to continue to search for suitable candidates in the transfer market. As for Gary, the local iron gate that Wenger has always coveted. - Cahill, who has been clearly told that without a transfer fee of 17 million pounds, can never take away the local international player.

For Arsenal, Gervinho's arrival should be like a glass of cold water, quenching the thirst of fans who are eagerly looking forward to the summer team building offensive. The problem is that Gervinho's transfer has been delayed for more than a month, and it was not available until last weekend. The coffin is finalized, and the fans' enthusiasm for waiting has already begun to cool down. At the same time, the exodus wave of main players such as Francesco and Nasri reached a peak last weekend, and even Theo Walcott and Van Persie were implicated. Arsenal is facing disintegration. What Na felt at this time was no longer hot but cold, a cold that could not be washed away even if Gervinho turned into hot water.

According to Fleet Street, 24-year-old Gervinho is likely to officially join Arsenal this week. He will sign a four-year contract with the Gunners with a weekly salary of 60,000 pounds, while Arsenal will pay Lille 11 million pounds. transfer fee.

Gervinho was born in Anyama, a city in Côte d'Ivoire known as the hometown of football. His real name is Gervais. When he attended the youth training academy of the famous Mimosa Club in Côte d'Ivoire, he was given the nickname "Portuguese" by the team's Brazilian coach. The nickname of the flavor has been used ever since. Following the fast track of Mimosa-Bevren, a Ivory Coast player, Gervinho joined French Ligue 1 Lens in 2007 and then moved to Lille.

Lille enjoyed great success in Ligue 1 last season, winning the league double. Among them, Gervinho scored 18 goals in 31 games. He relied on his tall stature and quickness to open up a world on the wing, becoming a winger. The role completes goals and assists, which is suitable for Arsenal's current 433 playing style. Toure and Ebou both used Beveren as a springboard to jump to Arsenal. In the 2006-07 season, Wenger noticed Gervini who was still in Belgium. Austria's performance even provided him with an offer. This encouraged the player to move up the ladder in Ligue 1. Because of the successful precedent of his compatriots, Gervinho had always dreamed of joining Arsenal.

Arsenal began trying to bring in Gervinho after the end of the season. The transfer work was delayed for more than a month before it was nearly completed. On the one hand, Lille wanted to cash out more money on the player, and the holidays also delayed various transfer work.

In addition, Arsenal faced competition from Tottenham Hotspur when they were competing for Gervinho, but the Gunners' Champions League qualification tempted the player.

In an earlier interview with the French media, Gervinho also explained the reason for the delay in the transfer: "Transfers always have a stage of analysis and negotiation. Fortunately, all parties are satisfied, so things are progressing fairly smoothly."

Later, Gervinho, who was on vacation, further explained his ambition in an interview with The Sun: "I chose Arsenal because it is a young team and I can integrate well and get more opportunities."

Good development, at the moment I still need to improve some technical details. Is going to the Premier League a risk? Not at all. The best risk is to score a lot of goals and play a lot of games. In football if you want to win, you have to take risks, and I

I go to Arsenal to win."

However, the arrival of Gervinho is obviously not enough to break the haze that has enveloped the Gunners. Following the disappearance of Fabregas, Nasri and Clichy, Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott were also involved in transfer rumors last weekend.

Unlike Denilson, Bendtner, Ebou, Roski and others who were on the purge list before the end of last season, the above-mentioned players are all the main players of the team. If they all leave, the team will obviously collapse not only half of the team.

According to BBC reports, Manchester City is likely to sign Clichy this week for 7 million pounds. The 25-year-old French left-back has joined the Gunners for eight years. His current contract expires next season and has not yet been renewed. Last month, Clichy told the Gunners

The club expressed its intention to leave, and soon became the purchasing target of Liverpool and Roma. On the other hand, Wenger has not given up his efforts to keep Clichy.

Van Persie himself is obviously not very willing to leave the Gunners. The Dutch forward is the core of Wenger's football and just had a good season last season.

As the backbone of the team and Wenger's favorite, Robin cannot just leave. This is somewhat similar to the situation Cesc Fabregas is currently experiencing. The difference is that Fabregas' transfer to Barcelona has entered a long period of tug-of-war. Arsenal

It has already rejected an offer of around 30 million pounds from Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona is unwilling to raise the price. The players and the two clubs all want to win the desired fruits at the end of the long battle, and currently the only option is to adopt the procrastination strategy.

Van Persie is obviously far from entering this transfer quagmire. However, according to Fleet Street analysis, Fabregas' continued popularity in the transfer market (Real Madrid restarted its acquisition of Fabregas last week) has made Robin van Persie's player camp jealous, and it is not ruled out.

It is possible to post transfer messages to increase player attention.

Compared to France's tepid transfer war, Nasri is currently becoming a man of the hour in the British transfer market. Following Manchester United's interest in the French midfielder, Manchester City also joined the fray last week. Nasri had previously rejected Arsenal

The renewed contract with a weekly salary of 90,000 pounds stated that the weekly salary must reach 110,000 pounds before he can stay.

In an interview with the "News of the World" last week, Nasri defended himself, "Money has never been the motivation for me to play football. I have always made decisions from a football perspective. I don't want to play with a team that is not mine just for money."

I have made enough money and the first thing now is to win the championship. This is more important than anything else. Because without the championship, you cannot be selected for the Ballon d'Or." This week, Nurse

Lee will return to Colney for pre-season training and face a showdown with Wenger.

While Nasri was defending himself, the media broke the news that Chelsea was interested in Theo Walcott. Like most players, Tiger also took his girlfriend on vacation. Many teammates were involved in transfer rumors, and it was inevitable that the Gunners would have people's hearts. Feeling panic. Wilshere can only hope to maintain the current lineup, "They (Nasri, Fabregas and Clichy) are all members of Arsenal and important players of the club, so we need them to stay. "

However, even if Wenger can once again use the offensive of kindness to persuade several disloyal subordinates to join him and sign Gervinho, it does not mean that Arsenal's team building work this summer is on the right track.

Although he has handed over failed signings such as Jeffers, Aliadie, and Abeye, Wenger still rarely fails to buy frontcourt attacking players, from Henry and Wiltord to Robin van Persie and Adebayor. Check mark, everyone can lead the way. However, in recent years, Wenger football has used offense instead of defense, which has led to the suspicion of "leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses" in recruiting, that is, constantly hoarding attacking players. But offense alone can solve all problems ?

Last season, Arsenal scored 72 goals, joining Manchester United as the only Premier League team to score more than 70 goals. However, Arsenal conceded 43 goals, not only the most among the top four, but also among the top eight. The defensive data are not impressive either. After all, eighth-place Fulham only conceded 43 goals. Greaves, the club’s double champion legend, criticized Wenger: “Because the team lacked a dominant central defender, they lost champion, and such a central defender, they could have found them in the January transfer window." Due to multi-front operations and a lack of capable and experienced personnel, the Gunners first collapsed in the League Cup last season, causing them to lose the trophy. The mistake was precisely a coordination error between goalkeepers Szczesny and Koscielny.

Wenger admitted the team's defensive shortcomings at the end of last season and also said that he would focus on reorganizing the backcourt this summer. However, training for the new season is about to begin, and the two central defenders that the fans are looking forward to, Gary Cahill and Samba, have not come yet. Arsenal did contact these two people in advance, hoping for a quick decision. However, Blackburn was still not satisfied with Arsenal's offer of 12 million pounds. Cahill's transfer value increased from 15 million pounds to 17 million pounds, and it was completed. Transactions set up obstacles. In fact, the signing that the team has officially completed this summer is only 1 million pounds to introduce 19-year-old Jenkinson from Charlton. Jenkinson can play as a right back and central defender, but it is expected that a young lower league player will move to the Premier League. It is obviously a luxury wish to use it as soon as it comes.

The professor is quite calm at the moment. When interviewed by the media in his hometown of Strasbourg last week, he insisted that he would not rush into the market. "Everyone is holding back. Everyone hopes that others will make the first transfer first, but everyone Everyone is holding on to the cards in their hands. But by the end of July or early August, no one will be tempted to take action early. The only thing I can say is that my phone is very busy now."

Compared with Arsenal's dismal management, Manchester City still maintains its true character as a wealthy player in the transfer market, waving checks and recruiting people on a large scale. However, it is not easy for the wealthy people to hit people with checks.

Mancini's contract with Manchester City has two years left to expire. Recently, in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Mancini revealed Manchester City's transfer target. He said that he had signed the most promising player in Europe. The talented defender Savage hopes to fulfill his contract with Manchester City.

"I have two years left on my contract with Manchester City and I have a good relationship with the owner. Mansour is close to us and he follows us. The Premier League is the best and in Italy the stadiums are empty with huge stands

, which makes me feel very sad. After reaching the Champions League, we don’t want to just come here, we want to be the leader in this competition.”

"Of course Tevez will stay, there were talks of an exchange between him and Eto'o, but Inter don't want to sell Eto'o. What I can say is that the deal for Savic is done, but Nasri? No,

Not yet. I admire Lavezzi, Hamsik and Cavani, relatively speaking, not so much Pastore."

In addition to Savage claimed by Mancini, the Independent said that Clichy will officially join Manchester City today, and the transfer fee will be 7 million pounds. He will be Manchester City's first aid this summer. It is reported that Clichy

Will join his new Manchester City teammates on Friday and fly to the United States with the team. Adebayor, Wright-Phillips, Bellamy, Bridge, Onuoha and Santa Cruz are among the six

All the members and generals were excluded from the list of traveling to the United States by Mancini, which was equivalent to being given an expulsion order.

"Daily Express" stated that Clichy's joining also accelerated the departure of 30-year-old Bridge. Bridge's weekly salary is 85,000 pounds, which is unacceptable to Newcastle who are interested in him. Therefore,

, he may be loaned out by Manchester City again. Manchester City's price tag for Onuoha is 8 million pounds, and the price tag for Little Wright is 2 million pounds.

Adebayor, who is destined to be purged by Manchester City, dreams of a permanent transfer to Real Madrid. In January this year, Adebayor was loaned to Real Madrid, but Real Madrid refused to pay him a transfer fee of 14 million pounds. Although Blackburn Rovers and Zeni St. Petersburg

Tedros are very interested in Adebayor, but Adebayor only wants to join Real Madrid. "I am ready to wait until the last minute before the summer transfer window closes on August 31. Mourinho told me that he will do his best."

I am fully committed to taking me back and I am optimistic that this deal will be completed. For me, Real Madrid is everything and I love this club."

In addition, the "Daily Mail" stated that Manchester City's backup goalkeeper Given refused the opportunity to join West Bromwich Albion. He only wanted to go to Aston Villa. Manchester City's price tag for Given was 5 million pounds, while Villa only

I want to pay 3 million pounds.
