Entering July, the European transfer market has begun, and various giant clubs have launched a fierce offensive for their favorite players.
One of the headlines of "The Sun" today broke the news that Manchester City is preparing to send Adebayor to Tottenham at a low price of 5 million pounds. This news seems ordinary and not very eye-catching. But it is
Such a transaction may actually lead to a series of consecutive transfers and set off a wave of waves in the market.
Manchester City is in the leading position in the competition for Arsenal's number one star Robin van Persie.
The day after Van Persie refused to renew his contract, BBC reporter Ian McGarry broke the news on Twitter that Van Persie would join Manchester City within two weeks for a transfer fee of 22 million pounds and a weekly salary of 225,000 pounds.
The Daily Mail revealed that Arsenal may be forced to complete the transaction as soon as possible in order to prevent the difficulty of preparing for the new season due to the sale of two core players in August last year. However, Manchester City’s current forward staff is too redundant. In Aguero
, with the three forwards Balotelli and Tevez basically staying on the team, they must first complete the cleanup before leaving space for Van Persie.
Who to cleanse? Adebayor bears the brunt.
Because the two have a history of hostility: In 2009, Adebayor joined Manchester City from the Arsenal, and Blue Moon paid a price of 25 million pounds for this.
And just that season, Adebayor maliciously stepped on Van Persie on the court, and he and Arsenal fans and Van Persie himself have been at odds ever since. Therefore, once Van Persie joins Manchester City, Adebayor will not be able to stay with the team. But this season, Adebayor
Debayor was loaned to Arsenal's rival Tottenham, where he performed very eye-catchingly. He scored 17 goals and assisted 11 times in the Premier League, completing a "double-double". Tottenham is very willing to keep him if Manchester City clears him at a low price.
, which couldn’t be better for Tottenham.
According to reports from "The Sun", "Daily Mail" and "Guardian", this transaction is close to completion, and the transfer fee is said to be 5 million pounds or 6 million pounds. Therefore, no matter which price is far away
Less than the actual worth of Togolese people.
The opening of the "Manchester City Supermarket" and Adebayor's low-price sale have directly benefited Tottenham.
Moreover, with the new coach Villas-Boas taking office, they need sufficient funds to rebuild the team, so buying Adebayor and others at a low price will be a good deal.
In order to raise funds for further signings, coupled with Real Madrid, Manchester United's pursuit of Modric is already well known, and Tottenham is likely to sell their core.
A few days ago, Chelsea also rejoined the pursuit of the Croatian. "Daily Mail" stated that Real Madrid is committed to winning this purchase war and is interested in the Tottenham midfielder known as the "Magic Flute"
, Galacticos seems destined to win. After their offer of around 35 million pounds was rejected, they hope to add Carvalho to the deal as an add-on.
The 34-year-old Carvalho has lost his main position in Real Madrid. He has played for Chelsea for a long time and has rich experience in the Premier League, which increases the possibility of this transfer. If the Carvalho + cash deal is reached, eventually
The total transfer price will also be higher than the original offer.
Manchester City's purge will not only involve one forward, Adebayor, but another forward Dzeko may also leave the team.
According to the "News" report, AC Milan is discussing the transfer of Dzeko with Manchester City. Before the transfer to Manchester City, AC Milan once approached Wolfsburg to buy Dzeko. The Serie A giants have also been obsessed with Dzeko. But in the end, he was
Manchester City paid a high price of 27 million pounds.
"" said that Manchester City offered a price of 19 million pounds for the Bosnian. Compared with the purchase price, this will be an outright bargain sale.
In addition to the forwards, Manchester City also has repeated choices in the defense. The left-back Kolarov was at a disadvantage in the competition with Clichy last season. The latter got more starting opportunities, and the Serbian hopes to seek a transfer. He
His next club may also be AC Milan. According to the same report from "", AC Milan is looking for the transfer possibility of Manchester City left back Kolarov. They hope to acquire this Manchester City left back through a rent-and-buy arrangement.
500,000 pounds), the total worth is as high as 145.1 million pounds. If all these transactions come true, then the total transaction volume is bound to be close to 100 million pounds. Therefore, there is a huge storm brewing among them.
However, even after the opening of Real Madrid Supermarket, Manchester City has also shown great interest in opening a supermarket.
On the other hand, Manchester United is also taking action. This time it is not signings, but players leaving.
Park Ji-sung officially transferred from Manchester United to Queens Park Rangers. In an interview, the Korean star said that he was not driven away by Manchester United, but that he wanted to leave.
After ending his seven-year career at Old Trafford, Park Ji-sung signed a two-year contract with QPR. He said: "I took the initiative to ask Manchester United to leave the team because I received a very good invitation.
I took the initiative to tell Manchester United that I wanted to leave."
When Park Ji-sung explained the reason for voluntarily asking to leave the team, he said that on the one hand, he could no longer play the main role at Manchester United, and the other reason was that the promise given to him by Queen's Park was very attractive. "This is a difficult decision, because Manchester United is an excellent club.
The club, everyone wants to play here."
"But I didn't play many games last season and I might still have had a good chance to play if I had stayed at Manchester United, but Queen's Park gave me a very good proposal and I was very interested in their ambition and plans.
.So I made the decision to leave the team. If Queen's Park did not describe the future blueprint to me, I might stay at Manchester United."
Park Ji-sung joined Manchester United from Eredivisie Eindhoven in 2005 and has played for the Red Devils for seven seasons.
With his abundant physical fitness and active running, Park Ji-sung won the favor of Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson. He has started many important matches in important games and is an indispensable all-rounder in Manchester United's midfield.
However, in the 2011-2012 season, due to his age and decline in form, Park Ji-sung's position was gradually replaced by Nani, Mata and others. With the joining of Japanese red star Shinji Kagawa, the Korean also completely lost his position in the team
And finally chose to transfer.
It is reported that the 31-year-old Park Ji-sung may replace the troublesome Button as the new captain of Queen's Park, and he is also looking forward to everything after this transfer. "Leaving Manchester United is a big step, but it is also a major step in my life.
Another challenge.”
Manchester United and Manchester City are all making moves, and Arsenal, which is always poached, is also making moves.
In this summer's transfer market, although Arsenal has acquired two powerful forwards, with Robin van Persie about to leave the team, if the Gunners want to make a difference in the new season, the signings are still not enough. In fact, the Arsenal's signings are still insufficient.
It has been in full swing.
"Sky Sports" exposed an Arsenal transfer case, but it was not a successful or about-to-succeed acquisition, but a failed experience. "Sky Sports" reported that Arsenal once made a bid for Tunisian monster Joseph Moussaconi.
He has previously been invited by teams such as Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Lille.
But his final choice was surprising. The Lekhwiya team from Qatar signed the Tunisian international who was born in 1990.
In an interview with "Sky Sports", the Tunisian said: "I hope to play in Qatar. This is an opportunity given to me, and I seized it. Lille Club once expressed interest in me and hoped to get me.
, but their sincerity is not as good as that of Qatari clubs. I want to improve myself in this league. Arsenal also invited me, but they were not attractive enough to me. Maybe one day I will return to play in a major European league.

Arsenal's pursuit of young players has not stopped. According to France's "West France" and Britain's "Sky Sports", 17-year-old Niang from Caen in Ligue 1 is about to try out for Arsenal. Due to UEFA's 18-year-old rule
Only then can he sign an adult contract, so Niang may transfer to Arsenal on a free transfer.

Caen coach
Patrice Garland publicly believes that Niang's choice to trial Arsenal was wrong: "I made it clear to him that he has talent and potential and can do something good. But he is currently doing the right thing.
Something? No, I don’t think so.”
In terms of defense, the partnership between Vermaelen and Koscielny has become increasingly tacit and stable. Koscielny's contract ends in 2014, which means that after the 2012-13 season, Koscielny will only have one year left.
contract.
In order to prevent the tragedy of Nasri, Robin van Persie and other one-year contracts from happening again, Arsenal must make plans as soon as possible.

According to previous media reports, Koscielny's current weekly salary is only 20,000 pounds. If the contract is renewed, the salary will inevitably increase significantly. It is also rare for Arsenal to directly provide such a long contract. When the contract ends
, Koscielny will be nearly 32 years old. It can be said that this contract has almost locked the golden period of the French defender's career, and he may even retire at Arsenal.
While renewing the contract of the backbone of the defense, Arsenal also did not forget to search for a successor. According to "Sky Sports", Arsenal is making an offer for Egyptian international Milo (full name Islam Ramadan), who is currently born in the 90s.
The Egyptian international is currently playing for Haras Elkhedud in the domestic league, and he will represent the Egyptian team in the upcoming London Olympics.
Arsenal also hopes to investigate him in the Olympics. "Sky Sports" said that Lyon, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon are also very interested in the 21-year-old Egyptian defender. Currently, the two Portuguese teams are leading the purchase.

In the midfield, Arsenal seems to have enough personnel. But if they want to further utilize Alexander Song's offensive talents, they need a defensive midfielder. Because Blackburn has been relegated, the team's very powerful French midfielder N'Zongzi may
Will be discounted at a low price, Arsenal and Chelsea have joined the competition for him. "The Sun" said that Nzonzi's transfer value is about 5 million pounds.
