"Are you interested in Angel?"

When Mendes heard Linsen talk about Di Maria, he was a little surprised. Di Maria is indeed his player. He just signed the contract last year. In terms of optimism, Mendes values ​​this young Argentineer more than Falcao. The chapter updates the fastest. He knew that Malaga asked for Di Maria last year, but that was just asking for the price. Later, there was no further text. However, he didn't expect that Linsen would ask him now.

"He is one of my main goals this summer." Lin Sen didn't hide it and briefly said the situation. If he is interested in a player, his agent can't get around it.

"So, you decided to sign Di Maria? Give up David Luis?" Mendes asked with all his thoughts.

David Luis? That Brazilian? Lin Sen's tone seems to be optimistic about this young man, but his performance in Benfica in the past two seasons is not very good. How did Lin Sen like him?

"On the contrary, I am going to introduce David Luis first. And I am not going to give up Di Maria, I just have to wait a moment." Lin Sen said lightly, "That is why you need a favor."

"That's it." Mendes nodded, then said with some confusion, "David Louis is not my player, what can I do?"

"I plan to use the genius clause on David Luis, because it will be difficult for David Luis to meet the standard of a labor certificate in a short period of time. Di Maria is different. He is already a member of the Argentine national team. He only needs some time, and the labor certificate is not a problem for him. So..." Lin Sen only said this, Mendes already understood what Lin Sen wanted to do.

"Do you want a priority right?"

"Yes. In exchange, we can also rent Falcao to Benfica for free."

"Haha." Mendes on the phone, on the other hand, shook his head with a weird expression and laughed dryly, "I'm afraid Benfica will not be happy with such a deal."

Free rental? It sounds like Benfica takes advantage, but in turn it means helping others level up. This is not what Benfica wants to introduce Falcao.

"Falcao is just a gift." Linson could hear the meaning of Mendes' laughter, and he also smiled. "If Benfica doesn't want it, it's very simple. I think Porto shouldn't refuse a free gift. If they don't want it, then there is Sporting Lisbon, um, we just made a deal with them, and the relationship is pretty good."

“…”

Mendes couldn't laugh now.

Lin Sen's move is not bad. As a Portuguese, Mendes knows the relationship between these three clubs in Portugal, because the entire history of the Portuguese Super League is simply a history of struggle between these three clubs. Currently, Benfica wins the most championships in the Portuguese Super League. He won the championship thirty times, but since the 1900s, Porto has almost monopolized the championship of the Portuguese Super League. Especially in recent years, Porto has won six championships in seven years and has achieved four consecutive championships, which is only one step away from tying up the five consecutive championships they created in the last century.

In Portugal, many Portuguese fans are concerned about whether Porto can win the championship, but when will they pull Benfica off the throne with the most championships. In this case, Benfica will never want to see Porto continue to grow bigger, even if they can increase their strength a little...

"I understand." Thinking of this, Mendes said helplessly. This is really a use of both soft and hard.

On July 16, he led his new Manchester City. Linson boarded a plane to Johannesburg, South Africa to start his pre-season warm-up tour. In South Africa, Manchester City is expected to stay for about a week to participate in a Vodafone Challenge sponsored by Vodafone. Their first opponent is the veteran South African team Orlando Pirates.

Lin Sen decided not to be happy about this South African training, which is purely commercial in nature. One is because of the tiring journey, and the other is because his opponent's strength is limited, he cannot achieve the best warm-up effect. However, when he was a newcomer, he could only accept the club's arrangements. Fortunately, after the South African training, Manchester City will return to Europe. In Burnley, Glasco Wanderers and Celtics, Manchester City basically does not have to leave England. As for the last warm-up match, the opponent is an old opponent to Lin Sen, because Manchester City has accepted the invitation from Barcelona Club and will participate in this year's Gambel Cup. However, at that time, the new Premier League season had already opened, which is actually not a warm-up match.

I really can't escape Barcelona anywhere. Thinking of this, Lin Sen smiled in his heart.

What made Lin Sen more pleased was that the transfer work has been going very smoothly in the past few days.

Five days ago, Manchester City announced their seventh and eighth signing of the season, 17 million signing talented midfielder Xavi Martinez from Athletic Bilbao, and 5 million bringing Falcao from the Riverbed. At the same time, Gary Cook's work in Spain finally made breakthrough progress. First, Gary Cook and Bardano were photographed meeting in a restaurant, which means that Robben's transfer has officially entered the actual operation stage. Then Valencia finally nodded to David Silva's transfer, which is attributed to the transfer of another Valencia star, David Villa, which gradually showed a trend of soap opera...

Three days ago, Linson's offer for David Louis of 12 million plus a subsequent 3 million total price of 15 million was accepted by Benfica Club. Manchester City immediately applied to the British Labor Department for a hearing on David Louis' labor certificate issue, and the results of the hearing will be announced in a week. At the same time, another unknown deal is that Manchester City acquired Di Maria's first right of purchase for three million, and Manchester City can acquire Di Maria for 20 million in the next two seasons. Unlike David Louis's deal, both parties are secretly announced.

Just yesterday, Manchester City announced that they would loan Colombia striker Falcao to Benfica for one season.

It is worth mentioning that Falcao's trip to Portugal is not a willingness, because he had originally rejected Porto and came to Manchester City. Now Manchester City is planning to send him back to the Portuguese Super League. For this reason, Lin Sen personally talked to Falcao, and Xiaozhi was moved by his feelings and finally did not make Falcao think he was a liar. There was no way to do this. He wanted to eat what was in the bowl and look at what was in the pot. He was too greedy and naturally had to digest it.

Including the winger, Manchester City's forward line is almost impossible to avoid than when Linsen started cleaning. Fortunately, the club has restarted the negotiation with Benjani to terminate the contract, and Linsen can only hope that everything will go smoothly. As for another "nail" Brazilian striker, this is no longer a hot potato, it has become purely a candy, but even so, when Linsen comes to South Africa this time, it is not Linsen who has the idea of ​​leaving him, but because if he is left in Manchester, he might have to make a comeback. Instead of that, it is better to bring it out to make some money. You must know that he is in a hot state during training.

During this trip to South Africa, Lin Sen brought 22 people. Except for Benjani, who stayed in the UK to negotiate the termination of the contract with the club, everyone, including the Bend brothers, was on the roster. The lineup seemed to be complete, but in fact, the more important frontcourt players were not yet in place, which was a little behind the plan, because according to Lin Sen's prediction when formulating the transfer plan, all the transfer work should be basically completed in mid-July, but now, most of them have been completed.

On July 18, at Orlando Stadium, Lin's Manchester City officially met with the world.

Manchester City, who was ranked in the 4231st formation, had a main half-time substitute with a score of 3-0, and it seemed to win easily, but in fact, none of them scored in a sports game. Bellamy scored twice with two penalty kicks, and Petrov's free kick was icing on the cake. Lin Sen's debut was not that exciting, but in terms of the results, it was impeccable.

After the game, Lin Sen praised the entire team and focused on the performance of the Bend brothers. While other players were still seeking tacit understanding with their teammates, the middle barrier of the pair of brothers became the key to this game. The two brothers joined forces to resolve most of the Orlando Pirates' offensive outside the penalty area.

However, although the Bend brothers performed well, they did not have their place in Linsen's new season plan for the time being. Linsen plans to loan them out, and in order to allow the two to adapt to the pace of the Premier League as soon as possible, the target is a Premier League team. In this regard, Ma Wood is already paying attention to this.

On July 20, Manchester City was preparing for the second warm-up match with another South African team, Caesar Chiefs, in South Africa. In England, the Sun disclosed the latest transfer news that surprised the entire English football world: Manchester City officially offered Tottenham Hotspur rising star Gareth Bale.

Although everyone knows that the Sun's news can only be trusted by three points, this time, the Sun's statement is very convincing.

According to them, five days ago, Manchester City made a offer worth 15 million pounds to Bale, which is three times the Welsh's value of transferring from Southampton to Tottenham two years ago. However, the offer was rejected by Tottenham's chairman Levi on the same day. Just yesterday, Manchester City, who did not give up, proposed their second offer, this time the offer was increased by 5 million pounds from the previous level and reached the 20 million level. The Tottenham club has not responded yet, but according to insiders of Tottenham, Levi summoned Tottenham's head coach Redknapp last night. Obviously, Bale will be the main topic.

Not only the fans were surprised by this sudden transfer news, but also the person involved, Bale. In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Bale said that he knew nothing about the transfer, but he hoped to stay in White Hart Lane to prove himself than to go to Manchester.
