Real Madrid pressed step by step, Bale stopped training again, and the transfer was in a stalemate. △

If Tang Hua, who suffered a four-round victory, was at the three-way crossing of a head coach at this time, then the situation Manchester City faced at this time was also a three-way crossing for Lin Sen, who was the football manager. However, at this moment, Lin Sen ran to Cambridge hundreds of kilometers away, and then seemed to be leisurely watching a British League Two match that many people might even know if they didn't listen to the introduction.

No one would believe such a thing when said, but Lin Sen did it.

Because he felt that even if he stayed in his office in Manchester for a whole day, he would not be able to change anything.

For all fans who are following Bale's transfer, Manchester City should be "dirty" now, because Bale has almost broke with them openly. However, in fact, the atmosphere inside Manchester City is far less bad as the outside world imagines. Except for Bale, all the club staff still go to work on time, and everything about the team, including training, is still orderly.

Pellegrini announced the list of home games against Liverpool in the second round of the league. Unexpectedly, Bale's name was not found. But this time, at the pre-match press conference, Pellegrini was no longer polite in the face of Bale's problems.

"Everyone knows why Bale is not on the roster. For the head coach, if a player is not in training, then he is not suitable for the game. For the club, if a professional player cannot respect his contract, then he has no need to play."

It is obvious that it is not just that Pellegrini was finally angry. In fact, on the day Linson left Manchester and headed for Cambridge, Manchester City gave a tough response to Bale's absence from training again: withholding one week's salary and being transferred to the reserve team.

This response is also a reply to Barnett's "threat".

As a person directly responsible for the transfer matter, Lin Sen knew very well, but if things were allowed to continue like this, there would be no benefit for both players and Manchester City, and it could be said that it would be a loss-win situation. Although Manchester City tried to downplay the impact of this matter on the team as much as possible, the impact on the team atmosphere was ultimately difficult to completely eliminate. For players, it seemed that Bale could achieve the goal of joining Real Madrid through this matter. But in fact, this came at the expense of his personal reputation.

Any dream should be respected, but dreams cannot be completely detached from reality, otherwise it will become a delusion. Bale, who has become the darling of Manchester City fans, has undoubtedly disappointed Manchester City fans after this incident.

In the game against Liverpool, Manchester City's die-hard fans cast slogans in the stands: bale=bye. (Baer = goodbye.)

Without angry insults or sensational retention, Manchester City fans used such a seemingly plain slogan to declare their complete disappointment with Bale.

Fans’ disappointment, club toughness.

It did not make Barnett retreat. When he was interviewed by the media again, he once again made a fuss: Manchester City’s decision was unreasonable, they should know that this way cannot keep Bale. Fans’ slogans? I just want to say that such fans are not worthy of having Bale.

Undoubtedly, Barnett's remarks will cause another fierce response among Manchester City fans, but Lin Sen is not surprised because he had already begun to wait for Barnett to put his "threat" into practice.

Bale's transfer has come to this point, and it is meaningless to talk about trust and understanding. Now, there is only the word "interest". For Barnett, the interests of Bale, who was originally bound to Manchester City, have been completely separated at this time because he, or they want greater interests.

This is the first time Lin Sen has encountered this situation, although this situation is not uncommon in past transfers.

Sometimes it is only a luxury to get together and part.

Now, everything can only continue coldly according to their own interests, and then it is destined to end coldly.

Time is gradually approaching the last moment when the transfer window is closed.

This long soap opera is still going on. Today, the media reported that Bale is likely to stay behind. Tomorrow, the latest offer from Real Madrid was accepted by Manchester City. Both sides were close to reaching an agreement. Bale was absent from training the day after tomorrow. He directly rejected all the speculations from the previous few days and returned the transfer to zero again...

Real Madrid obviously does not want to give anyone, especially Lin Sen, the impression they intend to hang themselves on a tree. In recent times, "Marca" and "As" have been rotated in, almost spreading rumors about Real Madrid and several wingers in the world, including Chelsea's Hazard and Liverpool's Sterling...

Facing the invisible pressure from Real Madrid, Manchester City did not wait to die. You look for a winger, I also look for a winger, and they are all looking for difficult targets, Paris Saint-Germain's Pastore, Barcelona's Pedro...

The two sides seemed to be intentionally fighting another form of Cold War, but this made Barnett suffer.

If Bale eventually has to stay at Manchester City, then the most unlucky one is undoubtedly Barnett.

Barnett, who had completely understood that Lin Sen was not good at soft and hard, did not put the breakthrough point this time, but turned to Madrid and met with Jose Sanchez, who knew the truth. This meeting finally became a turning point.

----------------

"...In addition to concessions in terms of signing fees, Bell will also give up half of his portrait rights, but he requires us to make some compensation for this on an annual salary."

It's still Madrid, the office, Jose Sanchez is still sitting in that seat, and opposite him is still sitting at the person with the greatest power in Real Madrid.

"It's fair, isn't it?" Florentino smiled.

"It's fair, indeed." Jose Sanchez nodded, "I just didn't expect Barnett to make concessions on his own."

"He has to." Florentino sneered, "There is no time anymore. We are not in a hurry, and Manchester City are not in a hurry. So, does he have any other choice?"

Jose Sanchez smiled.

Florentino was right, Barnett had no choice. If it was an ordinary transfer, at this time, if Real Madrid refused to raise the price, then Barnett might be able to turn to the other side. With Real Madrid asking Manchester City to sign a new contract with Bale, although the benefits he received were not as big as the transfer, it was a pretty good choice after all.

Now, the secret agreement that Real Madrid was originally intended to cut off Manchester City's retreat failed to cut off Manchester City's retreat, but instead cut off Barnett's retreat.

"But, if this happens, Carlo will probably be a little dissatisfied."

Lin Sen has already made it clear that it is not impossible to negotiate if Bale, but Real Madrid must put Isco in the trade. This proposal was previously rejected by Jose Sanchez. Now, since Jose Sanchez and Barnett have reached an agreement, it means that he has already recognized the way to put Isco in the trade.

"Isco is indeed a pity," Florentino said. "But he is still young. If he can really become a world-class player at Manchester City, then of course he can come back in the future."

It is certainly not easy to buy the sold players back. However, Florentino's tone was very plain, as if he was just talking about something ordinary.

What is confidence? This is confidence.

Even if the opponent is Manchester City, even if the opponent is already so tough on this matter, for him and Real Madrid, he still has full confidence in making such a judgment on a player who is about to leave.

Jose Sanchez's reaction, he just nodded.

Just as ordinary.

----------------

August 31.

In the third round of the Premier League, Manchester City, who once again excluded Bale from the roster, faced Stoke City at home. In this game, Lin Sen sat in the stands again. This was also the first time he appeared at the Etihad Stadium since he returned to Manchester City. For his appearance, the fans at the scene received warm applause, while Lin Sen waved and smiled.

However, God did not give Lin Sen any face in this game. Manchester City, who shot twenty-three shots around Stoke City's goal, eventually lost the game, with the score being zero to one.

After the game, Lin Sen did not accept an interview with the media, but soon returned to his office.

Just during the game, he received a call from Spain, a call that means the biggest soap opera this summer may end.

Transfer barriers are cleared.

Everything will come naturally.

Originally, as usual, the transfer window would be closed on this day, that is, the last day of August. However, since this day this year coincides with the weekend, many teams may not be able to handle the transfer procedures on holidays. Therefore, according to the practice, the transfer window would be closed on a day, which means that the transfer will have an extra day of operation time.

On the night of the 31st, Lin Sen flew to Madrid, Spain. This was undoubtedly an "abnormal" visit to the outside world, because in Bale's transfer, what should have happened at this time should have been Jose Sanchez visiting Manchester. However, soon everyone knew why.

Just at the end.

With Bale finally landing in Madrid, Spain, Manchester Airport also welcomed a new guest: Isco.

Subsequently, Manchester City officially announced the introduction of Isco from Real Madrid, and the young Spaniard will sign a five-year contract with Manchester City. At the same time, Real Madrid also officially announced that Manchester City's Welsh winger Bale joined Real Madrid for a contract of six years.
