Chapter 330
Chapter 330
In the hot transfer market, although Manchester City have moved much less in comparison, they are actually not idle at all.
If nothing else, just for Xu Ning's transfer application, they all refused a little.
Leading Portugal to victory in the World Cup, Xu Ning's dominance was further demonstrated, so strong that all opponents could not breathe.
In this case, since you can't beat Xu Ning, then the best way is to join Xu Ning... On the contrary, that is to buy Xu Ning.
Although Xu Ning's transfer fee is destined to be sky-high, as long as Xu Ning can be bought, it means that the championship is guaranteed.
And the championship is guaranteed, which brings a significant improvement in the image of the club, an all-round increase in commercial income, and there is no need to worry about losses.
Therefore, the fax of Xu Ning from all the giants flew to Manchester City like a snowflake.
Maybe the owner behind Manchester City is not the richest man in the world, but for the local tycoons who make money directly from the oil, let alone two hundred million, even if they add a zero, they have to consider whether to sell it!
Real Madrid and other giants can only sigh, at least for now, they and Xu Ning can only be inseparable.
In addition to Xu Ning, because Manchester City showed their dominance in all aspects last season, other players have also been sought after.
Compared to Xu Ning, other players are definitely less important to Manchester City, so it is not without opportunities to dig into the wall.
For example, the young De Bruyne, such as Van Dijk, who has already taken the main position, such as Yaya Toure, the core of the midfield....
Almost every player received an offer.
Among them, there are bound to be people who hesitate and eventually choose to leave.
While City's salary package is not bad, choosing a team that can get more consistent opportunities is also an important factor for professional players.
So, there are bound to be people leaving and people coming for Manchester City.
In terms of selling, Pellegrini fully respected the wishes of the player himself.
Those who have confirmed departure are Santa Cruz, Xavi Garcia, Rodville, Boyata and Pantilemon.
Santa Cruz because there are really no chances at Manchester City.
With Xu Ning, Dzeko, Sergio Aguero and Roberto Firmino in this position, it will be difficult for him to guarantee playing time even in the cup unless there is a serious injury wave.
Unlike other players over 30, Santa Cruz has to keep his fitness.
No way, who let his Paraguayan national team still have to count on him to score.
So even if Manchester City's treatment is very good, he can only regret leaving.
Xavi Garcia is in a similar situation with Rodwell, they are still young and have a chance to fight for the national team.
If you have been a marginal person at Manchester City, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the favor of the national team.
Even if Manchester City are champions, but you don't play at all, what does the championship have to do with you
, Pantilimon is worse in comparison, after all, the goalkeeper position is different from other positions,
and it is usually not easy to rotate.
Joe Hart is stable, although the state must have ups and downs, but after all, it is the English international goal, and the main position is definitely there.
If he does not leave Manchester City, I am afraid that Pantilimon will only be on the bench for the rest of his career.
Compared to the departure of others, Pellegrini is actually unwilling to let Pantilimon go.
Although the second goalkeeper looks unobtrusive, it is actually a very important position.
Once the main goalkeeper is injured, a reliable second goalkeeper is needed.
If there is no reliable substitute goalkeeper, the team's results will inevitably plummet.
After all, other positions can also make cameos, but the goalkeeper you make a cameo attempt?
Pellegrini persuaded for a long time, but Pantilimon had already made up his mind and really couldn't stay.
No way, Manchester City can only look for a reliable second door in the transfer market.
The last to go is the team's backup centre-back Boyata.
During the winter break last season, following Xu Ning's advice, Manchester City brought in two central defenders at once, and both central defenders showed great potential.
Van Dijk has been able to secure himself as a centre-back and Rudiger is also very qualified as a substitute, often making a great contribution.
Add to that captain Kompany and the veteran Demichelis, and Nastasic, who is already willing to be a substitute rotation, and Boyata is too embarrassing.
He is ranked sixth
, and even the domestic cup has few opportunities to play,
so how can he raise the ball?
Manchester City have not retained much, after all, Manchester City's central defender position is already a bit bloated, and hoarding too many players is not necessarily a good thing.
Manchester City did their best and did not embarrass these players on the transfer fee.
Pantilemon went
to Sunderland on a free transfer; Rodwell also went to Sunderland for £7 million
; Xavi Garcia joined Zenit for €13
million; Santa Cruz returned to Malaga on a free transfer; Boyata went on loan to
Queens Park Rangers;
There are also a number of other young players from the second team, most of whom have also left the team temporarily on loan.
If there are players lost, then there will inevitably be players to be added.
As a substitute goalkeeper, Pellegrini brought in former favourite Caballero from Malaga for a transfer fee of €6 million.
For being able to bring Malaga to a double is definitely something that Pellegrini will brag about for the rest of his life.
So he also had a special preference for the Malaga players at that time.
Xu Ning naturally didn't need to mention it.
After signing for Manchester City, Pellegrini took Santa Cruz and Demichelis directly from Malaga.
If it weren't for the fact that Manchester City really didn't need Isco, Isco would have worn the Blue Moon shirt last season.
Looking for a backup goalkeeper this time, Pellegrini still chose to trust Caballero.
Caballero is also a proper veteran, and being able to get a big contract at the end of his career is undoubtedly the best option, and he will not go to any main position.
The two hit it off immediately, and everyone was happy, and the transfer was completed quickly.
The full-back position is not strong, and Pellegrini negotiated with Arsenal's Zania.
Sarnia and Arsenal's contracts expired and chose to join Manchester City freely, so that the salary can also be higher.
As a result, in addition to the midfield position, Manchester City's other positions no longer need to be strengthened.
Pellegrini trusted Xu Ning very much and specially called Xu Ning, who was still on vacation.
