Robinho is not unattractive to Barcelona.*

After Henry left the team, Barcelona did need a left winger, but in contrast, Pedro's existence also made Guardiola not urgent in this position. In this regard, it is a bit similar to Lin Sen's attitude towards the midfielder. Simply put, it is better to have nothing than to be too much. Therefore, Robinho, who has been "inspected" in La Liga, is indeed a good choice.

If Robinho had changed to Yaya Toure a season or two before, it would have been a ridiculous deal, because at that time, the value of the cyclist who was facing Pele's successor was even three to four times that of the latter. But now, Manchester City's proposal has made Barcelona hesitate whether it is worth it, because of a simple formula.

Manchester City has already bid 23 million for Yaya Toure, so is Robinho still worth 23 million?

The answer Begiristan finally came to is, no.

So, they refused Manchester City's exchange, but this time, they did not continue to get involved in David Silva's issue, but directly gave Yaya Toure's price: 35 million.

When receiving a fax from Barcelona, ​​Linson had just ended a conversation with two England internationals.

Richards and Wright Jr.

As Manchester City youth training, compared with Ireland, Lin Sen's willingness to leave these two players is undoubtedly stronger. Of course, this is not that he also values ​​the other party's household registration book, but that the two performed really well in the rotation last season. Richards can be the right one and the center, and Wright Jr. is often able to play a role as a substitute for Robben.

The conversation with the two was both good and bad.

The good news was that under Linson's persuasion, Richards finally nodded to the team. The bad news was that Wright, who had only one year left in the contract, just refused Manchester City's salary cut and renewed contract. In the face of money, Linson's conversation failed to get any effect. In this way, Manchester City only had two options left, either let Wright perform his last year's contract and leave for free. Or he had to sell this summer.

Considering that Wright Jr. also has a weekly salary of up to 70,000 and is nearly 30 years old, Lin Sen tends to the former because Wright Jr. is not selling much money at present. Instead of doing so, it is better to let the opponent stay. Moreover, registration for the Champions League in the new season is a youth training place.

In addition to the matter between Richards and Wright Jr., in fact, before that, Manchester City's official website announced another cleanup: Bulgarian Petrov transferred to Bolton freely.

This is Manchester City's third cleanup this season.

"A substitute midfielder 35 million?" Looking at Barcelona's fax, Ma Wood sneered repeatedly.

With the label of a rich man, Ma Wood has long been accustomed to encountering sky-high asking prices. He was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten, but no one could blame each other. But since he was willing to do business, he had to follow the basic principles of business. Although the previous few bargains in Barcelona were also "sky asking prices", in Ma Wood's opinion, it was no different from rejection. Because it was obvious that David Silva could not be equal to Yaya Toure. But what does the other party mean now?

Lin Sen, sitting opposite Mawood, smiled a little.

Naturally, he wouldn't tell Mawood that Yaya Toure is actually worth 35 million, and although Barcelona gave such a price, it doesn't mean that they really think Yaya Toure is worth 35 million now. Most of a player's value is achieved through his performance on the court, and a small part represents his appreciation space. Yaya Toure's transfer to Barcelona's value is 9 million. Two seasons have passed, and his performance has more than doubled his value. But Yaya Toure is already twenty-seven years old, which means that his appreciation space is not large.

"What's the news over there?" Linson did not answer Ma Wood's words, but asked about another transfer.

"Their attitude is very firm." Mawood shook his head, "No sell."

Lin Sen frowned and asked, "What about the players?"

"Worse." Mawood shook his head, "I had a contact with Mascherano's agent Tammel. He said that the player himself would rather leave England. At first I thought it was the other party's negotiation method, but after verification by multiple parties, it is likely to be a fact."

Linsen suddenly fell silent.

25 million is Manchester City's latest offer to Liverpool, but this offer was rejected by Liverpool in less than a day. Linson does not think that such a offer will lose to the rumored Inter Milan. Although he doesn't know how much Mascherano finally went to Camp Nou, he thinks that Manchester City's offer has not yet reached the point where Liverpool will be so moved that he will give the main midfielder to his competitors.

Of course, Manchester City can continue to raise the quotation, even if it meets the rumored 30 million quotation in Liverpool, it is worth it in Lin Sen's opinion. There is too much money, and it is not just this benefit. You can use money to make up for some of your disadvantages or increase some advantages that your competitors do not have. However, the problem now lies in the players.

If Mascherano insists on leaving England, what can Manchester City do?

Lin Sen sighed in his heart, somewhat helpless. Although he had known that Mascherano's transfer difficulty was probably higher than Yaya Toure, most of it was due to Liverpool's considerations, but he did not expect that the biggest problem was on the players. The problem was round and round, but it was still about Yaya Toure. However, there was no gain. At least, interfering with Mascherano still forced Barcelona to change their transfer attitude.

"Lin." At this time, Ma Wood suddenly spoke, "It's really necessary for Yaya Toure?"

"Do you have a new candidate?" Lin Sen said.

"Barry." Mawood didn't keep it a secret, and he nodded and said.

Barry...

Gareth Barry, the England international who should have transferred to Manchester City last summer, in a sense, is also an inducement for Benitez to eventually leave Liverpool, because if Benitez had not "seduced" him, Xavi Alonso would not have wanted to leave. If Xavi Alonso did not leave, Liverpool would definitely not have had such a big decline in performance last season... However, these are just assumptions now.

It is not surprising that Mawood, who has always had a special liking for English local players, is obsessed with Barry. Last year, Mawood also tried to hook up with another England international, Lescott. Just yesterday, Chelsea's official website announced that it had signed Lescott, but the price was not announced. Ingra media revealed that the price was around 15 million pounds, which happened to be the "tightening curse" that Linson put on Mawood last year.

Linson was a little surprised about Chelsea's signing of Lescott, but it was not too surprising. Carvalho left Spain to follow his mentor Mourinho. Chelsea needed a central defender, and David Luis, who was supposed to be among the Chelsea targets, was taken first by himself. Lescott is already one of the few first-class defenders in the transfer market at present, and he has an English household registration.

Speaking of Real Madrid, after his second offer of 32 million to David Silva was rejected by Manchester City again, Real Madrid did not continue to make a offer for David Silva. Of course, Lin Sen does not think that this means that Real Madrid has lost interest in David Silva. Most of the time, the opponent is waiting for the end of the World Cup, just like Manchester City.

The World Cup semi-finals are now over. As Linson remembers, Spain and the Netherlands eliminated Uruguay and Germany in the finals respectively. Manchester City's two core players, Robben and David Silva, will also appear in the finals as opponents. These two players, plus Suarez, who also needs to participate in the third place competition, are destined to miss most of Manchester City's warm-up match this summer.

Let’s get back to the point. Unlike last year, Ma Wood is confident that he has proposed Barry as the candidate.

Although Linson and Aston Villa's O'Neal had an unpleasant fight last season, at the club level, the two clubs did not really die of time. Especially after Manchester City nodded happily on Aston Villa's bid for Ireland, the relationship between the two clubs eased, and in this case, if Manchester City wanted Barry, Aston Villa would not set up obstacles.

After all, Aston Villa is not Manchester City. Manchester City can keep Wright, who is nearly thirty years old, as a substitute for a year and then let him transfer freely, but Aston Villa cannot be so "luxury". Although this year is not Barry's contract year, Barry, who is also nearly thirty years old, this year is the last moment to squeeze out the last value. His value is proportional to his competitive state, so thirty years old is a watershed.

It is worth mentioning that Ireland's transfer is also a troublesome. Ireland, which had previously refused to accept Aston Villa's salary contract, recently his agent proposed a new plan. He said that his clients can accept Aston Villa's contract, but the premise is that Manchester City pays a two million breakup fee. Ma Wood has been very worried about this matter recently. However, because of this, Ma Wood, who was running around in Birmingham and Manchester, has established a good relationship with Aston Villa's manager Crullack.

Seeing Lin Sen silent again, Ma Wood thought Lin Sen did not agree with his opinion, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As the transfer manager, I was really a little frustrated. Although he and Lin Sen handled the transfer affairs together, whether last season or this season, Manchester City's transfer work was actually Lin Sen's own meaning, and Ma Wood was not dissatisfied with this. After all, the transfer work was originally the head coach's wishes, and the board of directors did not erase his credit. However, it seems that every time he had a disagreement with Lin Sen, Lin Sen's opinion became the final decision.

Although Lin Sen's eyes have been proven last season, Ma Wood has to accept this, but this feeling of being "supported" has always been lingering in his heart. But he also knew that he could not "fight" Lin Sen, not only because of Lin Sen's achievements, but also because of the relationship between Lin Sen and the club chairman Mubarak.

Since Lin Sen moved into Manchester City, the outside world has not been ignored, but there has always been a rumor within the club, that is, the reason why Mubarak chose Lin Sen as the head coach was because Mubarak and Lin Sen are old acquaintances. This kind of rumor is not completely unfounded. After all, Lin Sen's entry into Manchester City last year was beyond the expectations of many people. But now, this kind of rumor has changed from a previous derogatory meaning to a compliment as Lin Sen led Manchester City to achieve a brilliant record last season.

This is the difference between being a person with only one's intimacy and being aware of the beads.

"Can."

At this moment, beyond Mawood's surprise, Lin Sen suddenly said, "However, in Yaya Toure's transfer, I hope to work hard for the last time."

"Finally?" Ma Wood was stunned.
Chapter completed!
