Chapter 232: Manchester City's arrogance shocked the football world by offering the three major clubs at the same time!

Manchester City's offer put Bayern in a dilemma. The price of 35 million euros just stepped on Bayern's psychological threshold.

Selling Kroos at this price is acceptable to Bayern.

But Kroos has performed very well in Bayern, and he is very young and a product of Bayern's youth training. Selling him at this price seems to be a bit of a loss for Bayern.

Especially when the Champions League is about to enter the knockout stage, giants like Bayern do not want to see too many changes in their team's main lineup.

If Manchester City offered Kroos this price this summer, Bayern might still consider it.

However, the winter break is too short. Even if they can find a suitable replacement in the transfer market, they will not be able to integrate him perfectly into the team in a short period of time.

Especially when the team was drawn against Chelsea in the knockout stage of the Champions League, Guardiola only hoped that the team would make some reinforcements in some local positions and did not want the team's main players to leave.

So he asked the club to reject Manchester City's offer.

Hoeness did not do so immediately, but reported the matter to Rummenigge.

"35 million euros may be Manchester City's initial intended price. If we negotiate with them, they are likely to raise the price. Even if it doesn't reach Modric's 50 million euros, 40 million or even 45 million euros are possible. If we can really sell Kroos at this price..."

Hennes didn't say the rest, but the meaning was conveyed.

Selling Kroos for more than 40 million euros is a huge profit for Bayern.

Rummenigge's thinking is more long-term. Guardiola has clearly expressed his opposition, so he naturally doesn't want to go against Guardiola.

Besides, Guardiola is right. The league, cup and Champions League have all entered the final sprint stage. It is indeed not appropriate to make too many adjustments to the team's main framework at this time.

But he did not immediately refute Hoeness, but asked a question: "How long is left on Kroos' contract with the club?"

Hoeness quickly replied: "He has one and a half years left on his contract, and it will expire next summer!"

"Then we should start contract renewal negotiations with him!"

One and a half years is still too short, and delaying it any further would obviously be disadvantageous to Bayern.

"We have contacted his agent, but Kroos' agent said that they are not in a hurry to renew the contract. It seems that they want to wait until the World Cup is over before discussing it."

"Are you waiting for a price?"

Rummenigge frowned, he remembered one thing. After Bayern won the Champions League last year, Kroos asked his agent to ask the club for a salary increase.

He is not satisfied with his current salary and hopes to get a higher salary.

It is normal for players to want a pay raise, because it is not only related to their own interests, but also a recognition of their status in the team.

However, Bayern's current salary system should not be adjusted too much. If Kroos is given a raise, then the salaries of Robben, Muller and other players who have not yet renewed their contracts must also be increased!

So last year, Bayern rejected Kroos' request.

It now seems that Kroos has not given up and plans to confront the club after the World Cup.

By the end of the World Cup, if Kroos has not renewed his contract, he will only have one year left.

With only one year left on his contract, if Kroos is still unwilling to renew it, he will have to get rid of it quickly, otherwise he will lose both his money and his life.

Thinking of this, Rummenigge had the urge to accept Manchester City's offer and sell Kroos now.

Fortunately, he still had his sanity and did not make such a foolish decision.

"Let's get in touch with Manchester City again and see what their bottom line is!"

"What do you mean, Chairman?"

Hoeness was confused and didn't know what Rummenigge's intention was.

"Real Madrid can negotiate with Tottenham for a year for Bale, so what's wrong with us letting Manchester City wait for half a year?"

Hoeness suddenly realized and immediately understood what Rummenigge meant.

This is to treat Manchester City like a fool! However, although Manchester City is arrogant, he is not the stupid son of a landlord.

After receiving Bayern's response, they did not waste any more time on Kroos.

Instead, they made an offer to their last target, who was also their real target - Fabregas.

Like Kroos, Fabregas only has one and a half years left on his contract.

So the offer made by Manchester City is also 35 million euros.

After receiving Manchester City's offer, Barcelona was furious!

When Fabregas transferred from Arsenal to Barcelona, ​​they paid a transfer fee of 40 million euros.

Although 5 million of the money was paid out of Fabregas' own pocket, Barcelona also paid 35 million euros.

At this time, Manchester City actually wanted to take Fabregas away from them for the same price? Dreaming! Fabregas is 26 years old this year, in his prime. Barcelona thinks that Real Madrid's Ozil can be sold for 50 million euros, so Fabregas can't be sold for less than this number, otherwise he will be outdone by Real Madrid? Our Barcelona players can't be worse than Real Madrid's! Besides, everyone knows that Arsenal is short of money, but even so, Real Madrid can cheat 50 million euros from the professor.

Manchester City is a well-known wealthy city and has no shortage of money.

They only paid 35 million euros to buy a player. This is too insincere!

So Barcelona not only rejected Manchester City's offer, but also turned the tables and offered Manchester City 50 million euros in the hope of bringing in their No. 10 player Lin Quan.

This offer is obviously a joke! If 50 million euros can take Lin Quan away, then the big clubs will be able to flatten Manchester City's threshold!

Pellegrini was a little angry after receiving Barcelona's reply.

"What does Barcelona mean by this? Are they really thinking about Lin Quan?"

If Manchester City leaves Lin Quan, it will be downgraded to a level from a top team to an ordinary team.

All the team's current tactical systems are built around Lin Quan, the absolute core of the team. If he leaves, Manchester City will really collapse.

Fahim nodded: "Barcelona certainly hopes to bring Lin Quan back to Camp Nou, but don't worry, we will not accept any offer for Lin Quan from any team. He is not for sale at Manchester City!"

With Fahim's statement, Pellegrini felt relieved.

Manchester City is not short of money. If they don't want to let a certain player go, other teams will have no chance of taking him away even if they offer a sky-high price!

"Can Fabregas still be bought?"

Pellegrini asked with some lack of confidence.

Being rejected by Real Madrid and Bayern Munich consecutively made him realize a problem: these top teams are reluctant to make major personnel adjustments in the middle of the season.

Therefore, it is very difficult to buy the players you like from these teams! Unless they are looking at players who are not very important in the opponent's lineup and have little impact on the team's performance, just like Mata of Chelsea.

Thinking of Chelsea, Pellegrini suddenly thought of something.

Before, Lin Quan seemed to have recommended a young Chelsea player to him and left him a videotape. The player's name was De Bruyne.

Pellegrini searched for a while in his office and soon found the videotape.

"This is?"

Fahim asked curiously.

"Just take a look and you'll know!"

The two then watched the videotape together in Pellegrini's office, which recorded the various wonderful combinations between Lin Quan and De Bruyne in the Bundesliga.

After watching it, both Pellegrini and Fahim showed expressions of surprise on their faces.

“This is the player we need!”

The two said it in unison, and then they were stunned for a second, and then they both laughed.

“He and Lin Quan work very well together!”

"Well, his pass was very sharp!"

"I checked and found out that he and Lin Quan were respectively the assist king and the golden boot winner in the Bundesliga last season!"

"The assist king in the Bundesliga? Then why didn't Mourinho use him at Chelsea?"

"Mata is also not valued by Mourinho!"

What is De Bruyne? Just a newcomer. Although he won the Bundesliga assists title, he has not proven himself in the Premier League.

On the contrary, Mata has not only proven his strength in the Premier League, but has also been the offensive core of Chelsea in the past few seasons.

However, even Mata was abandoned by Mourinho, so it is normal for De Bruyne to be abandoned.

Pellegrini seemed to be thinking that Mourinho and Guardiola were really two extremes.

Guardiola makes good use of the midfield, and under him the potential of the midfielders can be developed and utilized to the maximum extent.

Therefore, many top stars, especially midfielders, are flocking to Guardiola.

But Mourinho seems to have done the opposite, which is really strange! "Then let him be!"

Pellegrini made a decision. Since it is difficult to buy the main midfielder from other giants, he will first bring De Bruyne to the Etihad Stadium.

"We are the leaders, Chelsea may not let us go easily!"

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Pellegrini reminded that one bad thing about the top team is that it easily becomes the target of public criticism.

Chelsea can sell Mata to their arch-rivals Manchester United, but if Manchester City offers the same price for Mata, Chelsea will most likely refuse.

The reason is simple, Manchester City is already so strong now, if Mata is sold to them, it will only further enhance their strength, which will greatly increase the difficulty for other teams to snatch the championship from Manchester City.

Although Chelsea is currently ranked only fifth in the league points, they are a team aiming to win the championship.

Judging from the various signings Chelsea has made during this winter break, they will not give up the championship to Manchester City so easily.

Therefore, even if De Bruyne is of no use to them, they may not agree to Manchester City's offer. Instead, they may sell De Bruyne to teams in other leagues at a lower price.

"Well, I know. I will continue to contact Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern and other teams to create the illusion that we have not given up on recruiting players from top clubs. If we make an offer to Chelsea at this time, Chelsea's vigilance will not be so high!"

Pellegrini's eyes lit up. This secret move was indeed a brilliant one.

But what if one of the three teams, Huang, Saren, and others, agrees to their offer? "Haha, is there any need to ask? Of course we should buy them all!"

Fahim showed a confident smile on his face.

Who are we Manchester City?

It is currently the richest club in the entire football world!

Other giants may still calculate carefully for a small transfer fee, but this problem does not exist at all for Manchester City!

Manchester City is not short of money and can fully afford multiple transfer fees.

It would be fine if other giants don’t agree to sell players, but as long as they dare to agree, Manchester City will dare to buy them!

Money is not a problem at all!

So, on January 10, Manchester City again made offers to Real Madrid, Bayern and Barcelona.

Manchester City's offer for Modric has been raised to 55 million euros! The offer for Kroos and Fabregas has been raised to 40 million euros! The news that Manchester City has simultaneously offered money to the three top football clubs immediately swept the entire football world and became a sensation in the football world.

While countless media and fans were paying attention to and following the progress of these transfers, Manchester City quietly made an offer to Chelsea, hoping to take away the abandoned midfielder De Bruyne for 15 million euros.

Compared with Manchester City's offers to the three giants, De Bruyne's offer of 15 million euros seems too ordinary, so ordinary that it was hardly reported by any mainstream newspapers.

Obviously, everyone thinks that with Manchester City's tycoon style, this kind of offer will basically buy role players and substitute players, not the absolute main force of the team.

Moreover, De Bruyne has only played five times for Chelsea this season and contributed only one assist, and his performance was very average.

The media will not put too much energy into reporting on this kind of player.

After all, the football world knows that there are many fans of Modric, Kroos and Fabregas.

But there may be very few people who know De Bruyne.

Chelsea had the same idea, so after receiving Manchester City's offer, Chelsea did not directly reject it, but stated that De Bruyne was an important member of the team and that Chelsea saw his talent and potential.

Obviously, this is a bargain.

If they really appreciated De Bruyne's talent, they would not have denied him the opportunity to play.

Manchester City did not waste time and added 5 million euros to the original offer, raising it to 20 million euros.

This price is already very high for De Bruyne, after all, his experience at Chelsea was not successful.

After sitting on the bench for half a season, it is very doubtful how much form he still has.

Moreover, in the German transfer market, De Bruyne's value has fallen below 20 million euros.

The price offered by Manchester City is obviously very sincere! The ball was kicked back to Chelsea. With Manchester City still in contact with several giants, De Bruyne seems to be just their backup option, and Manchester City does not seem to attach much importance to him.

So Chelsea didn't take this matter to heart.

Out of respect for Mourinho, Chelsea manager Emnaro informed Mourinho of the incident.

After Mourinho learned the news, he thought for a while before remembering who De Bruyne was.

"The player who can't even play as a substitute? Manchester City wants to sell him to them!"

In order to raise money to buy the players he likes, Mourinho is willing to sell even Mata, let alone De Bruyne.

In order to buy Lin Quan, Emnaro spent a lot of time paying attention to Werder Bremen's games.

So he was quite impressed by De Bruyne, even though he failed to get a starting position at Chelsea.

But this player is not weak. If he is paired with the right players, he will be a great threat on the court.

Manchester City happens to have a golden partner who has proven himself in the Bundesliga - Lin Quan! Therefore, selling De Bruyne to Manchester City is a very hidden danger.

"Jose, I have to remind you that De Bruyne is not without strength. If we sell him to Manchester City, he may become a huge threat to us!"

Mourinho was already very dissatisfied with Emnaro, so when he heard Emnaro's words, Mourinho sneered: "Are you questioning my judgment of people? If this guy really has the ability, then it would not be Oscar and Hazard who would appear in the starting lineup, but him!"

Mourinho lost his temper because he felt that Emnaro's words challenged his authority as head coach.

He actually questioned his own judgment and use of people. Who does he think he is? I am a man who has won two Champions League titles. How could I make a mistake? Besides, he wants to buy players. Matic, Drogba, Salah, Zouma and others are all players he has his eyes on.

To buy these players, 50 million euros is not enough.

Selling Mata is not enough, he still needs a lot of money.

If Abramovich is unwilling to pay, where can he get money if not by selling players? At this time, there are fools like Manchester City who offer them money, and Mourinho cannot refuse.

"Mourinho, you will regret this!"

Emnaro had always tolerated Mourinho before, but this time, he really couldn't stand it anymore.

"Maybe, but now, this is my team and I have the final say!"

So, under Mourinho's authorization, Manchester City and Chelsea quickly completed the transfer.

On January 12, Manchester City announced on its official website that Chelsea midfielder De Bruyne officially transferred to Manchester City and he will wear the No. 17 jersey to play for the Blue Moon.

This transfer news did not cause much waves in the football world. Compared with De Bruyne, everyone was more concerned about the transfer rumors between Manchester City and other giants.

However, after introducing De Bruyne, Manchester City has obtained the players they wanted, so they plan to end the offers from the three major giants and instead buy some defenders they want to strengthen the team's defense.

But at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

Bayern's attitude towards Kroos' transfer has actually softened.
