Chapter 810 Still need to spend money!

"Master Huan, Woodward is looking for you. What's the matter?"

Mubarak asked with concern while sitting in the afternoon tea courtyard of the Landmark Hotel.

As arch-rivals in the same city, Manchester City is particularly concerned about every move of Manchester United.

Yang Huan was sitting there, looking around with nothing to do.

Ever since the chef of the Landmark Hotel was poached by Yang Huan and taken to Southampton, the business here has been getting worse and worse.

But there are still people who come to patronize.

This is very simple. Since we are facing different customer groups, we always need people.

Hearing Mubarak's question, Yang Huan turned his head and smiled slightly, "What else? They want to bring in our players."

When Mubarak heard this, a trace of worry flashed across his eyes.

Although Master Huan said it calmly, in Mubarak's eyes, this matter was quite serious.

Even though Manchester City is now firmly in the race for the Premier League title, all of this was built on transfers and spending money.

If one day, Manchester City tightens its money supply, their situation may become even more bleak than Manchester United.

Moreover, Mubarak is also very clear that this is a critical moment for the Premier League to reshuffle. Whoever falls behind will find it difficult to reverse the situation. Therefore, Manchester City must maintain its position in the first group no matter what.

If you want to achieve this goal, you have to spend money!

Young Master Huan said that Manchester United wanted to poach their players, but he didn't say who they wanted to poach. Mubarak didn't know how to ask either, so he could only guess. But this guess was very confusing.

Nowadays, almost every transfer of Europe's top stars is closely related to Manchester United.

Since last summer, the reputation of the League of Legends in raising prices has been well-known in the world of football.

Could it be that the team that is raising the price has now also set its sights on Manchester City?

With Manchester City's current lineup configuration, the midfield and frontcourt problems are not very big, so although they are interested in James Rodriguez, the need is not urgent. Instead, the defense is Manchester City's biggest weakness.

That's why Manchester City wants to sign Mangala.

Previously, Britain's Daily Express published an interview with a Manchester United insider. It was said that as early as half a year ago, Manchester United sent scouts to track Monaco's Mangala. Does this mean that Woodward really wants to take action against Mangala?

The more Mubarak thought about it, the more Yang Huan thought about it. Anyway, it was best to keep it a mystery. Let's just bid hard!

"What's the matter? Why aren't you talking?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

He now holds the initiative. Whether to sell or not, and to whom to sell to, isn't it all up to him?

"By the way, Daniel!" Yang Huan looked at Daniel Levy, "I have already negotiated with Bayern Munich. Schweinsteiger will transfer to Tottenham Hotspur. His value is 20 million euros."

Daniel Levy and Hamad looked at each other and nodded continuously.

They were shocked when Yang Huan told them that he wanted to bring in Van Gaal's favorite player, Schweinsteiger.

But by now, Schweinsteiger is destined to move to Tottenham Hotspur, and they have long since calmed down their excitement.

In the new season, Tottenham Hotspur, with Schneiderlin and Wanyama already in the team, has introduced Schweinsteiger. The defensive midfield position of Tottenham Hotspur is really full of strong players and talents.

As for spending 20 million euros to introduce Schweinsteiger, although the German midfielder is a bit old, he is the core midfielder of the world champion after all. 20 million euros is worth it!

In fact, behind this transaction, Yang Huan had another transaction of his own that he didn’t mention.

That is, Javi Martinez's move to Bayern Munich.

According to the decision made after negotiations between the two parties, Schweinsteiger participated in the transfer of Javi Martinez for 20 million euros, and Bayern Munich increased the price by another 40 million euros in order to introduce Javi Martinez.

Not only that, the ownership of two young midfielders, Godino and Hojbjerg, was also added.

This was the result of Rummenigge and others personally coming to Southampton and talking with Peter Kenyon for three full days. Otherwise, after the incidents with Neuer and Toni Kroos, Yang Huan would have been unwilling to sell Javi Martinez to Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, knew they were in the wrong and were eager to buy the player, so they had to make concessions during the negotiations.

"How is it? Is Van Gaal satisfied with this transfer?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Daniel Levy kept nodding his head. “Van Gaal was very surprised. He didn’t expect that Bayern Munich would let Schweinsteiger go. So, he couldn’t stop smiling!”

Yang Huan also laughed, "Then tell that old guy not to stare at my players digging in the future. We have to point our hoes at the same direction. Otherwise, just wait and see how I deal with him next time!"

Daniel Levy couldn't help but smile, obviously remembering what Van Gaal had said to them.

But soon, he put on a bitter face again and asked, "Master Huan, what about Depay..."

"Thirty-five million pounds, not a penny less. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, forget it!" Yang Huan didn't say anything more.

Thirty-five million pounds?

Converted to Euros, that’s more than 40 million, a pretty high price!

But considering that first-line players are so scarce right now, Depay is only 20 years old and has just shined in the World Cup, such a price is not really unacceptable.

Daniel Levy glanced at Hamad, who nodded immediately and said, "Okay, Master Huan said 35 million pounds, then it's 35 million pounds, no need to think about it anymore!"

That expression, that tone, he's so rich!

Daniel Levi also immediately nodded in agreement.

Mubarak, who was sitting next to them, was also a little surprised, because he could see that Tottenham Hotspur was also ambitious.

Tottenham Hotspur introduced Schweinsteiger and Depay, strengthening the midfield and frontcourt. Coupled with the previous high-priced introduction of Miranda, Felipe and Azpilicueta, as well as the famous coach Van Gaal, the overall strength of the North London team has been greatly improved.

If Van Gaal could integrate the team well at the beginning of the season, he could have made it into the top four of the league.

On the other hand, Manchester City's central defender has always been a pitfall. When the top target Varane is impossible to introduce, the young Mangala is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for Manchester City.

Thinking of this, Mubarak gritted his teeth and said, "Master Huan, I have discussed Mangala's transfer with Jean-Luc Bissin of Monaco before. They insisted that he must pay 50 million pounds. I wonder if they can..."

"This..." Yang Huan hissed, "This is a bit difficult!"

After a pause, Yang Huan explained: "You know, although these teams are subsidiaries of Miracle Football Investment Group, they are all responsible for their own profits and losses, and they have their own ways of buying and selling players, so..."

But just when Mubarak thought that Yang Huan was going to shirk the responsibility, Young Master Huan sighed heavily.

"Well, we are old friends. I will break the rules here and give you another 5 million pounds discount!"

Mubarak's eyes lit up, "Master Huan, what you mean is..."

"Forty-five million pounds. If that doesn't work, you'll have to go to Monaco to negotiate it yourself!" Yang Huan said with a wry smile.

Then he added, "With this price, I'm afraid I'll have to talk to Bi Xin about it later, and I might even have to subsidize them privately!"

Mubarak's original price was 40 million pounds, which is equivalent to about 50 million euros.

But now, all he needed was the five million pounds, and seeing Young Master Huan say so, Mubarak gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then forty-five million pounds!"

Yang Huan's face was not filled with any happiness, but rather a hint of sadness. "Well, after finally making it to the Champions League, Monaco was ambitious and wanted to make a big splash. But now, not only has the head coach been poached, but also the main central defender and the main forward have all been poached."

Mubarak and Daniel Levy couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"Master Huan, don't we still have Mitrovic, Biglia and Navas?" Daniel Levy said with a smile.

"Yes, otherwise, just sell them all. We and Tottenham Hotspur will just have to make do and take them all!" Mubarak also laughed.

Although it was just a joke, it was obvious that if Yang Huan agreed, they would nod immediately and the price would be negotiable.

Apart from anything else, Biglia and Navas' performance in the World Cup was absolutely amazing.

These two players have already received invitations from a lot of teams.

As for the 20-year-old Mitrovic, he came from Southampton's youth training and was hand-picked by Drogba. In addition, he scored 21 league goals in a single season in the French Ligue 1. How bad can he be?

"Don't even think about it. It's so wonderful. If we really sell these three central players, then we will have no chance of winning the Champions League in the new season!" Yang Huan scolded with a laugh.

Yang Huan knows which players can be sold and which players cannot be sold.

Aubameyang, Depay and Mangala can be sold because the team has found their successors, so it doesn't matter if they are sold.

But Mitrovic can't do that, because there is no one in Monaco to take over his job.

Embolo has just started to emerge in the league, but Monaco decided to keep him in Basel this season to continue to improve his strength.

After all, after transferring to Monaco, he will be on the bench for a long time and lack opportunities for game training.

As for Monaco's local young player Benzia, his progress is not obvious. He will serve as Mitrovic's substitute in the new season. If he fails to improve his level, he will probably be abandoned by Monaco.

In order to fill the hidden danger in the front line, Monaco spent two million euros to book the young striker Ezequiel Ponce from Newell's Old Boys in Argentina in advance.

At the age of seventeen, he has played for Newell's Old Boys for a season, made fifteen appearances and scored four goals. He has great speed and stamina, is flexible in positioning, and has excellent shooting and heading skills.

This time, Monaco used Martino's connections in Argentina to snatch this gem from Manchester United and Roma. He will not join Monaco immediately, but will continue to play for Newell's Old Boys until he is eighteen years old.

Not just Ponce, Monaco have also finalised the transfer of Luka Jovic from Serbia's Red Star Belgrade.

This 1.81-meter-tall, 16-year-old young striker, known as the Serbian Falcao, is a very comprehensive striker and is highly regarded by the Southampton scouts.

These players are talent reserves for the future, in case Mitrovic is poached by other teams one day.

After all, given Monaco's current situation, it would be difficult to keep their players if there was a team that wanted to poach them.

In addition, Biglia has also attracted much attention from the outside world, but Monaco is also negotiating with the French Ligue 1 team Montpellier, hoping to introduce Montpellier's 19-year-old midfielder Samson.

This is a new midfield star that emerged in the French Ligue 1 last season and performed quite well.

It is precisely because of the excellent scouting system and talent pool that Yang Huan and Monaco dared to let these players go one after another.

In fact, if it weren't for the consideration of competing in the Champions League in the new season, I'm afraid even Biglia and Navas would have been sold.

And this is also Yang Huan’s positioning of Monaco!
