The question of which team Lei Ming would join caused a huge stir online, even overshadowing the transfers of Ronaldo and Messi, making people suddenly realize that although they had been away from Europe for three years, they were still top stars upon their return.
Finally, on August 15, 2021, a bombshell announcement caught the attention of football fans worldwide.
"This is a great transfer, welcome to Lei Ming."
Almost immediately, Manchester City manager Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, and many players posted updates, with almost everyone at Manchester City eagerly anticipating Reming's arrival. Of course, this did not include Joe Hart, who was informed that he would either become a backup goalkeeper or be transferred or loaned out. In the end, he chose the safest option and made money off Manchester City without lifting a finger!
It's fine to sit and collect money even if it's just a second door.
To facilitate the transfer of Lei Ming, the Manchester City owner went to great lengths. While the official offer was a €60 million salary contract, he personally contributed an additional €300 million and a huge mansion as compensation.
Meanwhile, manager Pep Guardiola also promised, with a touch of smugness, that if Reming comes, he will use his specially designed team tactics to strive to build a super-luxury Manchester City team.
This is the most sincere team that contacted Leiming, and also the one Leiming felt was the most suitable. Although it's still in the Premier League, and he might meet his former club Arsenal again, so what? The current Arsenal is no longer the Arsenal of the past. Since the de-Wengerization began, it means that Arsenal and Leiming have nothing to do with each other anymore.
I don't owe them anything at all. In fact, they should thank me, since I left them a large transfer fee when I left.
He was no stranger to Guardiola; the two had a lot of contact in the Premier League before. Guardiola was a very good manager and also a manager who appreciated him a lot. In the past, Guardiola had never been stingy with his praise for him.
At the same time, he also has his good friend Bernardo Silva at Manchester City, which is arguably the most important point.
When Raymond arrived in Manchester, he received an exceptionally grand welcome; even the Manchester City owner personally came to greet him.
Manchester City held a grand welcome ceremony for Lei Ming, with thousands of fans gathering at the Etihad Stadium to cheer him on.
Everyone feels fortunate to have such a world-class goalkeeper.
The grandeur of this welcoming ceremony was comparable to that of Cristiano Ronaldo's initial move to Real Madrid.
For a goalkeeper to do this is absolutely unprecedented, and it's unlikely we'll see such an event again.
Regardless of what league Lei Ming played in before, his performance is beyond doubt. It is a fact that he led Al-Hilal to sweep all teams in Asia. Even if the opponent's league level is low, it cannot be denied that he still has the level of a world champion goalkeeper. Manchester City's investment in him is not just a matter of money and willfulness, but the most correct decision.
Of course, this has also been accompanied by many dissenting voices.
However, Lei Ming, as the person involved, directly showed the world his strength after the start of the league that he had just taken a nap, and when he woke up, he was still the best player in the world.
In the years that followed, the football world entered an era dominated by Manchester City, and the Blue Moon dynasty became a memory for a generation.
Under Reinhardt's leadership, Manchester City won almost every title they could.
The End!
