The World Cup is over.
The final outcome was no different from what Lin Sen remembered. Robben missed a single shot that was most likely to make the Netherlands take off the slightly awkward hat of the "King of Uncrowned", which indirectly made Iniesta and Spain.
For those who don’t care about the World Cup, who wins the championship naturally doesn’t care. Lin Sen is concerned about two Manchester City players participating in the World Cup finals. As for what Spanish victory is the victory of beautiful football after the game, what this Dutch team is the ugliest Netherlands in history... and so on, it’s all good.
The frustrated Robben and the proud David Silva, Linson gave them the same treatment: a half-month holiday, which means that they will not only not participate in the warm-up match against Sporting Lisbon, but will also be absent against Red Bulls in New York. The two of them and Suarez also became the latest players to return to Manchester City this summer. In addition to these three, other Manchester City players will all return to the team before the warm-up match against Red Bulls in New York, including Adriano, Di Maria and others.
It is worth mentioning that after the World Cup final, Lin Sen called Robben and David Silva respectively, giving Robben more comfort, while giving David Silva congratulations. During this period, both of them tacitly agreed and did not propose a transfer, although both of them knew that there would always be a result in this matter.
Before the match against Sporting Lisbon, Linson got good news: Barcelona finally nodded to Yaya Toure's transfer.
Ma Wood once again "lose" to Lin Sen.
But once again, he couldn't help but be dissatisfied.
Because this time, Manchester City really only made a quote once, and it was the final offer, but this time, Barcelona finally chose to accept it.
Two thousand five million.
This price is only two million higher than Manchester City's previous offer. It is logical that Barcelona, which had previously requested a transfer fee of up to 35 million, could not accept it so easily. Therefore, the key is that Manchester City has added a condition: Manchester City withdraws from the competition for Mascherano.
Whether it is Linson or Mawood, they know that Manchester City is actually impossible to get Mascherano. But Barcelona doesn't know, so this condition that actually does not exist has also become a condition.
For Lin Sen, a "experienced person", Barcelona's mentality is not difficult to understand, and Yaya Toure is not difficult to sell. The question is how many clubs can afford the price, just like their leader Messi. Who doesn't want such a player? But even if Barcelona is willing to sell, not all clubs are qualified to get Messi.
Arsenal, who is interested in Yaya Toure, bids the highest from beginning to end to 18 million. Then he doesn't raise the quotation any more. Vegiristan knows what Wenger's idea is, but it's just that he has an excellent persuasion like Kholo Toure, and Vegiristan has no choice. Another Chelsea, who is rumored to be interested, has already had many African players in their team, and most of the important players, Drogba, Essin, Mikel, Karau...
Because of this, Chelsea had already suffered from the African Cup in January this year. The most detriment is that unlike other continents only held once every four years, the African Cup is held once every two years. If Yaya Toure is introduced, Chelsea will almost be eliminated in the next African Cup, which is something that Chelsea would not want to see anyway. Therefore, the rumored Chelsea did not really quote a price for Yaya Toure.
In this case, Manchester City has actually become Barcelona's not the best, but the most favorable choice. Because their only actual concern is that Manchester City may become their potential opponent in the European arena. But in fact, there is a condition to introduce Yaya Toure's club. Which team is not a potential opponent of Barcelona?
Therefore, Barcelona can choose to reject Manchester City's final offer, but that means they may face two situations.
One is that Manchester City will inevitably intervene in Mascherano's transfer, which will undoubtedly make Barcelona's transfer to Mascherano face huge competition. The other is that Yaya Toure is only one actual buyer left.
Transfers are ultimately profit-first.
Barcelona nodded to the transfer, which does not mean that Yaya Toure's transfer was completed. Because of the first meeting between Mawood and Seluke, he was shocked by the opponent's Lions' opening words: an annual salary of 12 million yuan is three times the contract he signed with Barcelona last year. In addition, the signing fee is 5 million yuan.
There is no doubt that this has far exceeded Ma Wood's imagination, although Lin Sen had given him a vaccination before this: Yaya Toure's contract is difficult to negotiate.
Currently, the highest salary in Manchester City is Robinho, who just finished his loan contract. His weekly salary is 160,000 yuan, and his annual salary is nearly 9 million yuan. Of course, this is before tax. But you should know that when Robinho signed this contract, he came as Real Madrid's main striker, and at that time, Manchester City did not have even the second attraction except for money.
Now, in the words of Mawood's previous evaluation of Yaya Toure, a substitute midfielder who actually wants to see Cristiano Ronaldo's annual salary? Is this really appropriate?
In Mawood's view, this is either a disguised rejection or just a mere thought of money and crazy.
But the fact is, Seluke really thinks Yaya Toure deserves the world's first annual salary.
The huge gap made the first contract negotiation between the two parties ended in vain. The two parties agreed to discuss the next day, and Seluke went back to seek Yaya Toure's opinion, while Ma Wood needed to negotiate with Linsen.
When Lin Sen received a call from Ma Wood, he was not surprised. He had long known that Yaya Toure's contract negotiations could not be completed in one day. In my memory, Yaya Toure's first weekly salary for joining Manchester City was the first Premier League salary of 220,000 yuan, and the annual salary was almost nearly 12 million yuan.
The salary space of a team is generally proportional to the transfer fee. However, compared with the transfer fee, the control of salary space is generally strict. This is no different from the wealthy or ordinary teams. The only difference is the size. Some teams even set salary caps. This is why many big-name stars who have passed the peak often have no one to ask for free, because the problem is not the transfer fee, but the salary.
Manchester City, with a sufficient transfer budget, is naturally far superior in salary space. But this does not mean that Manchester City can give high salaries without restrictions. First, UEFA's fiscal fairness bill is different from transfer fees. Once the salary is given, it will be more than one year of entanglement. Second, it is the team's salary balance.
Of course, Manchester City can meet Yaya Toure's salary requirements, which is not a big deal for Manchester City. But the problem is that once Manchester City gives Yaya Toure a salary, now is not the situation where Robinho sees all the mountains when he arrives at Manchester City. At that time, Robinho won the first annual salary of the Premier League. After all, Robinho's fame abilities are there, but what is Yaya Toure now? Not to mention that he has not made any contributions, what is your status? You get the first annual salary in the world? What about the meritorious ministers who won the championship last season? What about Robinho? Where is David Silva? How many should they get?
After all, Manchester City now has no conditions to continue to give Yaya Toure the first annual salary of the Premier League like Lin Sen remembers.
Therefore, Lin Sen also disagrees with giving Yaya Toure an annual salary too high. Not to mention 12 million, Yaya Toure's salary cannot even exceed Manchester City's current maximum salary, which is 9 million. Otherwise, a series of chain reactions are almost expected. Most of the players in Manchester City have just arrived last season and have not yet "get the mark" in contracts, but they are only in a delicate situation.
During the negotiations on the next day, the two sides still did not reach an agreement, but compared to the first time, the gap between the two sides was finally no longer so huge.
Seluke seemed to finally realize Manchester City's concerns. He made concessions on the annual salary requirement, with an annual salary of 10 million, a signing fee of 4 million, and a signing contract for three years. Ma Wood gave Manchester City's conditions: an annual salary of 7 million, a signing fee of 2 million, and a signing contract for five years.
Not only the annual salary, but also the contract years were different.
At this point, Seluke's idea is very clear. Yaya Toure is twenty-seven years old and signing for three years means that if Manchester City does not want the player to leave freely in two years, they must negotiate a new contract with the other party. At that time, Yaya Toure is twenty-nine years old. He can completely seek a lifelong contract, and the salary requirements will definitely not be low. But if it is five years, the option is on Manchester City's side, because after fulfilling this contract, Yaya Toure is already 32 years old.
Negotiations can only be delayed until the third day. At this time, the patience of both sides has reached the critical point.
Just when Yaya Toure's contract negotiations may collapse at any time, another transfer from Manchester City was announced to be completed, and the target was one of the "three major difficulties": Ireland.
In the end, Manchester City, Aston Villa and Ireland each made a move. Manchester City reduced the transfer fee requirement from 10 million to 9 million. Aston Villa also used this to increase the contract to Ireland, and Ireland itself no longer asked Manchester City for a breakup fee of 2 million, and the transfer was reached.
On July 20, Ireland, who went to the United States to train, left the team and returned to England.
The next day, Manchester City's official website announced their fourth cleanup of the season: midfielder Ireland transfer Aston Villa.
In the announcement, Manchester City wished Ireland all the best in the new team. Ireland, which had almost turned against the club before, also expressed his gratitude for the club's cultivation and the long-term support of the fans in an interview. Of course, for head coach Lin Sen, that was not mentioned at all.
After Robinho's transfer situation has been decided and Ireland disappeared from the official roster, the second of the three major difficulties have been eliminated. (To be continued)
