Chapter 232: Making offers to three major clubs at the same time, Manchester City’s arrogance shock

Manchester City's offer put Bayern in a dilemma. The price of 35 million euros just hit Bayern's psychological threshold.

Selling Kroos at this price is acceptable to Bayern.

But Kroos's performance at Bayern is very good, and he is very young and comes from Bayern's youth training. Selling him at this price seems to be a small loss for Bayern.

Especially when the Champions League is about to enter the knockout stage, a giant like Bayern doesn't really want their team's main lineup to change too much.

If Manchester City offers Kroos at this price this summer, then Bayern may still consider it.

However, the winter break is too short, and even if they can find a suitable replacement in the transfer market, they will not be able to perfectly integrate him into the team in a short period of time.

Especially when Chelsea were drawn in the knockout stages of the Champions League, Guardiola only hoped that the team would make some signings and reinforcements in local positions, and did not want the team's main players to be lost.

Therefore, he asked the club to reject Manchester City's offer.

Hoeness did not do so immediately, but reported the matter to Rummenigge.

"The price of 35 million may be Manchester City's initial intention price. If we negotiate with them, they are likely to increase the price. Even if it does not reach Modric's 50 million euros, 40 million or even 45 million euros will be enough." It's possible, if Cross can really be sold at this price..."

Hoeness did not say the rest of the words, but the meaning was already expressed.

Selling Kroos for more than 40 million euros was a bloody gain for Bayern.

Rummenigge is thinking more long-term. Guardiola has clearly expressed his opposition. Naturally, he does not want to go against Guardiola.

Besides, Guardiola is right. The league, cup and Champions League have all entered the final sprint stage. It is really not appropriate to make too many adjustments to the team's main framework at this time.

But he did not immediately refute Hoeness, but asked a question:

"How long does Kroos have left on his contract with the club?"

Hoeness quickly replied: "His contract has one and a half years left and it will expire next summer!"

"Then we should start contract renewal negotiations with him!"

One and a half years is still too short, and delaying it any longer will obviously be detrimental to Bayern.

"We have contacted his agent, but Kroos's agent said that he is not in a hurry to renew the contract for the time being. It seems that they want to wait until the World Cup is over to discuss it."

"For sale?"

Rummenigge frowned and remembered something. After Bayern won the Champions League last year, Kroos asked his agent to ask the club for a salary increase.

He is not satisfied with his current salary and hopes to get a higher salary.

It is normal for players to want a salary increase, because it is not only related to their own vital interests, but also a recognition of their status within the team.

However, Bayern's current salary system should not be adjusted too much. If Kroos is given a salary increase, then the salaries of Robben, Muller and other players who have not yet renewed their contracts will definitely also be raised!

So last year, Bayern rejected Kroos' request.

Now it seems that Kroos has not given up yet and plans to have a showdown with the club after the World Cup.

By the time the World Cup is over, if Cross has not renewed his contract, he will only have the last year of his contract.

With only one year left on the contract, if Cross is still unwilling to renew, he will have to deal with it quickly, otherwise he will lose both manpower and money.

Thinking of this, Rummenigge had the urge to accept Manchester City's offer and sell Kroos now.

Fortunately, his sense was still there and he did not make such a foolish decision.

"Let's get in touch with Manchester City again and see what their bottom line is!"

"Chairman, what do you mean?"

Hoeness was surprised and didn't know what Rummenigge's intentions were.

"Real Madrid can negotiate with Tottenham for a year so that Bale can talk to Tottenham. Why do we make Manchester City wait for half a year?"

Hoeness suddenly understood and immediately understood what Rummenigge meant.

This is the plan to fish for Manchester City as if it were a success!

However, although Manchester City is arrogant, they are not the stupid sons of landlords.

After getting Bayern's reply, they did not continue to waste time on Kroos.

Instead, they made an offer to the last target, and their real target - Cesc Fabregas.

Like Kroos, Fabregas only has a year and a half left on his contract.

Therefore, the offer made by Manchester City is also 35 million euros.

After receiving Manchester City's offer, Barcelona was furious!

When Fabregas transferred from Arsenal to Barcelona, ​​they paid a transfer fee of 40 million euros.

Although 5 million of it was paid by Fabregas out of his own pocket, Barcelona also actually paid 35 million euros.

At this time, Manchester City actually wanted to take Xiaofa away from them at the same price?

Dreaming!

Fabregas is 26 years old this year and is in his prime. Barcelona feels that Real Madrid's Ozil can be sold for 50 million euros, so Fabregas cannot go below this figure no matter what, otherwise he will be outperformed by Real Madrid. Already?

My Barcelona players cannot be worse than those of Real Madrid!

Besides, everyone knows that Arsenal is short of money, but just like this, Real Madrid was able to defraud 50 million euros from the professor.

You, Manchester City, are well known to the world as a rich man, and you are not short of money at all.

He only spent 35 million euros to buy someone. This is so insincere!

Therefore, Barcelona not only rejected Manchester City's offer, but also made an offer to Manchester City at a price of 50 million euros, hoping to introduce the opponent's No. 10 Lin Quan.

This quote is obviously a joke!

If Lin Quan can be taken away with 50 million euros, then the major giants will probably be able to level the threshold of Manchester City!

After receiving Barcelona's reply, Pellegrini was a little angry.

"What does Barcelona mean? They don't really care about Lin Quan, do they?"

If Manchester City leaves Lin Quan, they will drop down a level from the top team to an ordinary team.

All the team's current tactical systems are built around Lin Quan, the absolute core of the team. If he leaves, Manchester City will really collapse.

Fahim nodded: "Barcelona definitely hopes to bring Lin Quan back to Camp Nou, but don't worry, we will not accept any team's offer for Lin Quan. He is not for sale to Manchester City!"

With Fahim's statement, Pellegrini breathed a sigh of relief.

Manchester City is not short of money. If they don't want to let go of a certain player, other teams will never take him away even if they offer a sky-high price!

"Can Cesc Fabregas still be available?"

Pellegrini asked with some lack of confidence.

Continuous rejection by Real Madrid and Bayern made him realize a problem: these giant teams are reluctant to make major personnel adjustments in the middle of the season.

Therefore, it is very difficult to buy your favorite players from these teams!

Unless they are looking at players who are not very important in the opponent's lineup and have little impact on the team's record, just like Chelsea's Mata.

Thinking of Chelsea, Pellegrini suddenly thought of something.

Lin Quan seemed to have recommended a young Chelsea player to him before and left him a videotape named De Bruyne.

Pellegrini searched in his office for a while and soon found the tape.

"This is?"

Fahim asked curiously.

"Just look at it and you'll find out!"

The two of them watched the tape together in Pellegrini's office, which recorded the various wonderful collaborations between Lin Quan and De Bruyne in the Bundesliga.

After reading it, both Pellegrini and Fahim had expressions of surprise on their faces.

"This is the player we need!"

The two said in unison. After finishing speaking, each other was stunned for a second, and then they both laughed.

"He and Lin Quan cooperate very well!"

"Well, his passing is sharp!"

"I checked, and he and Lin Quan were the Bundesliga's assists leader and golden boot respectively last season!"

"The assist leader in the Bundesliga? Then why didn't Mourinho use him in Chelsea?"

"Mata is also not reused by Mourinho!"

De Bruyne is nothing, he is just a newcomer. Although he won the Bundesliga assists title, he has not proven himself in the Premier League.

On the contrary, it is Mata. He has not only proven his strength in the Premier League, but has also been the core of Chelsea's offense in previous seasons.

However, even Mata was abandoned by Mourinho, so it is normal for De Bruyne to be abandoned.

Pellegrini mused, Mourinho and Guardiola are really two extremes.

Guardiola makes good use of the midfield, and the potential of the midfielders under him can be developed and utilized to the maximum extent.

Therefore, many top stars, especially midfielders, are flocking to Guardiola.

But Mourinho seems to have done the opposite, which is really strange!

"Then let's decide it's him!"

Pellegrini made a decision. Since it is difficult to buy the main midfielder from other giants, he will first bring De Bruyne to the Etihad Stadium.

"We are the leader, Chelsea may not let him go easily!"

Pellegrini reminded that there is one bad thing about the top team, that is, it is easy to become the target of public criticism.

Chelsea can sell Mata to rival Manchester United, but if Manchester City offers Mata at the same price, Chelsea will most likely refuse.

The reason is simple. Manchester City is already so strong. If they sell Mata to them, it will only further enhance their strength, which will greatly increase the difficulty for other teams to take away the championship from Manchester City.

Although Chelsea currently ranks fifth in the league points, they are a team that aims to win the championship.

Judging from the various signings Chelsea have made during this winter break, they will not give up the championship to Manchester City so easily.

Therefore, even if De Bruyne is of no use to them, they may not necessarily agree to Manchester City's offer. Instead, they may sell De Bruyne to teams in other leagues at a lower price.

"Well, I know that I will continue to contact Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern and other teams to create an illusion to the outside world that we have not given up recruiting from top clubs. If we make an offer to Chelsea at this time, Chelsea's You won't be as vigilant anymore!"

Pellegrini's eyes lit up, and this move revealed that Chen Cang was indeed beautiful.

But what if someone from the three Huang Saren teams agrees to their offer?

"Haha, do you still need to ask? Of course I will buy them all!"

Fahim had a confident smile on his face.

Who are we at Manchester City?

It is currently the richest club in the entire football world!

Other giants may still be careful about the transfer fee, but here at Manchester City, this problem does not exist at all!

Manchester City is not short of money and can afford multiple transfer fees.

It's fine if other wealthy clubs don't agree to sell the person. As long as they dare to agree, then Manchester City will dare to buy the person!

Money is no problem at all!

So, on January 10, Manchester City once again made an offer to Real Madrid, Bayern and Barcelona.

Manchester City's offer for Modric increased to 55 million euros!

The offer for Kroos and Fabregas has been raised to 40 million euros!

The news that Manchester City had made offers to the three top football teams at the same time immediately swept the entire football world and became a sensational news in the football world.

While countless media and fans were paying attention to and following the progress of these transfers, Manchester City quietly made an offer to Chelsea, hoping to take away the midfielder De Bruyne who had been abandoned by the opponent for 15 million euros.

Compared with Manchester City's offers to the three major clubs, De Bruyne's offer of 15 million euros seems too ordinary, so ordinary that it has hardly been reported by mainstream newspapers.

Obviously, everyone thinks that with Manchester City's rich style, what they buy with this kind of offer are basically role players and substitute players, and they will not be the absolute main force of the team.

Moreover, De Bruyne has only played 5 times for Chelsea this season and only contributed one assist. His performance is very average.

The media will not devote much energy to reporting on this kind of player.

After all, football knows that there are many fans of Modric, Kroos and Cesc Fabregas.

But there may be very few people who know De Bruyne.

Chelsea had the same idea, so after receiving Manchester City's offer, Chelsea did not reject it directly. Instead, they said that De Bruyne was an important member of the team and Chelsea took a fancy to his talent and potential.

Clearly, this is a bargain.

If you really take a fancy to De Bruyne's talent, you won't deny him the opportunity to play in the game.

Manchester City wasted no time and added 5 million euros to the original price, raising the offer to 20 million euros.

This price is already very high for De Bruyne, after all, his experience at Chelsea was not successful.

After sitting on the bench for half a season, it is very doubtful how much state he still has.

Moreover, in the German transfer market, De Bruyne's worth has fallen below 20 million euros.

The price offered by Manchester City is obviously very sincere!

The ball was kicked back to Chelsea. With Manchester City still in contact with several wealthy clubs, De Bruyne seemed to be just their backup option, and Manchester City did not seem to pay much attention to him.

So Chelsea doesn't take this matter to heart.

Out of respect for Mourinho, Chelsea manager Emnaro informed Mourinho of the incident.

After Mourinho learned the news, he thought for a while before remembering who De Bruyne was.

"Is that the player who can't even play as a substitute? Manchester City just wants to sell it to them!"

In order to raise money to buy his favorite players, Mourinho can even sell Mata, let alone De Bruyne.

In order to buy Lin Quan, Emnaro spent a lot of energy paying attention to Werder Bremen's games.

So he was quite impressed by the player De Bruyne, although De Bruyne failed to get the main position at Chelsea.

But this player is not weak. If paired with the right players, he will be a very big threat on the court.

And Manchester City happens to have a golden partner who has proven in the Bundesliga - Lin Quan!

Therefore, selling De Bruyne to Manchester City is a matter of great hidden danger.

"Jose, I have to remind you that De Bruyne is not without strength. If he is sold to Manchester City, he may become a huge threat to us!"

Mourinho was already very dissatisfied with Emnaro, so when he heard Emnaro's words, Mourinho sneered:

"Are you questioning my judgment of people? If this guy is really capable, then it won't be Oscar and Hazard who will appear in the starting lineup, but him!"

Mourinho lost his temper because he felt that Emnaro's words challenged his authority as a head coach.

He actually questioned his own vision and employment of people. Who did he think he was?

I am a man with two Champions League titles in my hands, what could I do wrong?

Besides, he wants to buy people, and Matic, Drogba, Salah, Zouma and others are all players he likes.

To buy these players, 50 million euros is simply not enough.

Selling a mata is not enough, he still lacks a lot of money.

If Abu is unwilling to pay, where can he get money without selling people?

At this time, there is a fool like Manchester City giving them money, and Mourinho cannot refuse.

"Mourinho, you will regret it!"

Emnaro has always tolerated Mourinho's anger before, but this time, he really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Maybe, but now, this is my team and it's all up to me!"

Therefore, under Mourinho's authorization, Manchester City and Chelsea quickly completed the transfer.

On January 12, Manchester City announced on its official website that Chelsea midfielder De Bruyne officially transferred to Manchester City. He will wear the No. 17 jersey to fight for Blue Moon.

This transfer news did not cause much disturbance in the football world. Compared with De Bruyne, everyone paid more attention to the transfer rumors between Manchester City and other giants.

However, after introducing De Bruyne, Manchester City has already obtained the players they want, so they plan to end the offers from the three giants behind them and instead buy some defenders they want to strengthen the team. Defence.

But at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

In response to Kroos' transfer, Bayern's attitude has actually relaxed.
