One Thousand and Fifty-Five, the Situation Has Changed...

Thiago moved to Bayern Munich at a high price of 25 million euros, firing the first shot in the European summer transfer market, which made the originally dull transfer market suddenly boil.
Everyone was surprised by this transfer.
It's not that Thiago is not worthy of Bayern, but the price given by the Bundesliga overlord.
According to reports from the Catalan media, Thiago wants to go to Bayern wholeheartedly. His current termination fee is 18 million euros.
In theory, as long as Thiago pays the money, he can buy out the contract with Barcelona and transfer to Bayern freely.
But Bayern did not do this, but paid an extra 7 million euros, bringing Thiago's transfer value to 25 million euros.
Of course, the reason is not that Bayern found out in conscience and did good deeds, but that Barcelona was unwilling to release people with a termination fee. If Bayern let Thiago forcefully activate the termination clause, they would have to pay a large amount of value-added tax, so the Bundesliga overlord finally paid 25 million The euro reached a consensus with Barcelona.
This transfer fee is actually relatively cheap.
Real Madrid introduced from Real Sociedad the local midfielder Inliaramendi who was popular last season. The termination fee is 30 million euros, but Real Sociedad is not willing to sell Inliaramendi for 30 million euros.
In other words, even if Real Madrid pays 30 million euros and Real Sociedad does not agree, Real Madrid and the players can only be forced to use the termination clause. After adding value-added tax, the total investment is expected to be as high as 38.95 million euros.
This is really already a sky-high price!
If it is said that Yinlia Lamendi was the core midfielder of Real Sociedad who won the fourth place in La Liga last season, and his performance was remarkable, then Thiago was not the main player in Barcelona. He started 15 games, came off the bench in 12 games, and played 1412 minutes , 2 goals, 4 assists, this performance is not too eye-catching.
But everyone feels that Bayern's deal is too worthwhile!
Bayern chairman Rummenigge is grinning from ear to ear, thinking that this is one of the two most cost-effective transfers this summer.
Another deal is that Bayern signed Gotze from Dortmund for 37 million euros.
Three blockbuster transfers, all midfield players, all young, all talented.
But it also triggered a butterfly effect.
After Gotze moved to Bayern, Dortmund announced the signing of Mkhitaryan from the Ukrainian Shakhtar Donetsk for a sky-high price of 27.5 million euros.
The 24-year-old Armenian player played 42 times for Shakhtar Donetsk last season, scoring 29 goals and 12 assists.
Goetze was sent away for 37 million euros, and Mkhitaryan was signed for 27.5 million euros. These two operations of Dortmund are not considered profitable, but more of a stop loss.
It was at this time that the British media Sun, which has always been known for its transfer secrets, released news that Real Madrid officially made an offer for Leeds United's talented midfielder Paul Pogba.
60 million euros!
Once the transaction is completed, this will be the highest price so far in this summer's transfer market.
When the news broke, Pogba was in Turkey, leading the French national youth team all the way.
After entering the knockout round, the French team first defeated the host Turkey team 4:1, and then defeated Uzbekistan in Asia 4:0 in the subsequent quarter-finals.
In the semi-finals, with Pogba's one pass and one shot, the French team defeated their opponents 2-1.
The captain of the French National Youth Team has shown his worth in this high-level contest.
And in the finals, with Pogba's earth-shattering long-range shot, it penetrated Uruguay's goal, defeated Uruguay 1-0, and won the World Youth Championship!
Pogba also won the Golden Globe Award at the World Youth Championship with his outstanding performance throughout the event.
The whole of Europe began to report the young talented midfielder of Leeds United, especially in the face of Real Madrid's crazy offer of up to 60 million euros,
It shocked the whole world.
But only a few people know that Real Madrid's offer is actually 50 million euros, and it comes with a final mentality, but the transfer asking price given by Leeds United is 60 million euros.
The reason why he stabbed the Sun newspaper was more to put pressure on Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is also very calm, just holding on to the pressure and not letting go, it is playing a game with Leeds United.
As long as Pogba does not perform better in the World Youth Championship, Real Madrid will definitely be able to negotiate the price, even at 50 million euros, because so far, no other team has made an official offer.
Fortunately, Pogba is also very competitive. He shined in the last two rounds of the World Youth Championship, especially winning the Golden Globe.
That is, on the day the French team won the World Youth Championship, Real Madrid general manager Jose Sanchez called Fernando Lucas. Real Madrid officially compromised and agreed to sign Pogba for 60 million euros.
At this moment, Ancelotti, who was on vacation in Italy, also called Leonardo, the football director of Greater Paris.
...
"What did you say?"
Leonardo was in Brazil when he received a call from Carlo Ancelotti.
As soon as the phone call was made, Ancelotti began to complain, especially about the slowness of his transfer operation.
In the end, it even revealed that Real Madrid signed Paul Pogba at a sky-high price of 60 million euros.
"It's impossible, Carlo." Leonardo shook his head and laughed, "I've already understood that Real Madrid is only willing to give 50 million euros at most, but Leeds United's asking price is 60 million euros. There is a price difference of 10 million euros between the two parties."
"The reason why The Sun published it is to put pressure on Real Madrid. The current price difference between the two sides is still very large. Real Madrid will not compromise easily. What you hear is nothing but smoke bombs. Don't take it seriously."
With that said, Leonardo comforted Ancelotti instead.
Bo Yun in the transfer market is treacherous, true and false, false and true, and sometimes it is really confusing.
In other words, he was completely led by the nose.
At this time, an experienced and wise manager is very important.
"Don't worry, Carlo, I'm going to find an opportunity to meet with David Luiz to talk about the possibility of his transfer. You know, we need a top central defender like him." Leonor Duo said his intention to go to Brazil.
If David Luiz is willing to transfer, Paris can talk to Manchester City.
Today, Manchester City has four excellent central defenders, and it is okay to sell David Luiz.
But Ancelotti is very sure.
"I must remind you, come to Leonardo, this is true. The two sides have reached a consensus. Real Madrid's general manager Jose Sanchez is estimated to be at Leeds United now. He flew over overnight to sign."
"What?" Leonardo panicked, "Really?"
"It's absolutely true. Real Madrid compromised and agreed to Leeds United's asking price. They are very anxious because they are afraid that we will react."
When Ancelotti said this, Leonardo also reacted.
is not that right?
His original plan was to wait on the sidelines for a while, watching Real Madrid and Leeds United lower prices, and then Paris would choose the right time to make a move.
He had called Fernando Lucas before and revealed Paris' interest in Pogba.
But Real Madrid directly raised the offer.
It jumped directly from 50 million euros to 60 million euros, and it was not intended to involve Paris Saint-Germain at all.
Such an operation is very bold.
Obviously, Real Madrid is very clear that once Paris intervenes, Pogba will be more than this price.
As for Leeds United, they accept it as soon as it is good, and they are not greedy to get the price they like.
"Damn." Leonardo cursed angrily.
"I want to remind you again that after Bayern finished running Thiago, they have already started to ask for Coulibaly, and Naples, want to sign Jorginho and Alan, and Chelsea are also interested in Coulibaly and Coulibaly. Erzawa is very interested."
Leonardo began to realize the seriousness of the problem.
One step at a time, one step at a time.
"I see, I'll go back right away."
After hanging up Ancelotti's phone call, Leonardo immediately booked a return ticket to Europe. Instead of going to Paris, he flew directly to London and then transferred to Leeds from London.
After booking the tickets, Leonardo called his assistant in Paris to learn about the latest transfer information.
It's no secret that Monaco have signed Falcao, with word coming long before the end of the season.
The transfer fee is 60 million euros, which is also a sky-high price.
But Falcao's scoring efficiency in La Liga is very high.
"It is reported that Monaco has negotiated with Porto, and the transfer fee of Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez is 50 million euros."
"Who?"
"James Rodriguez."
When Leonardo heard the news, he was surprised, "How is this possible?"
Although this player is not famous, but it is not so outrageous, right?
Fifty million euros?
Is Monaco crazy?
"This nouveau riche... really wants to disrupt the market!" Leonardo couldn't sit still anymore, pacing back and forth.
"In this way, you immediately contact Fernando Lucas of Leeds United and say that I will arrive in Leeds tomorrow night. I hope to have an interview with him and tell him not to agree..."
"Forget it, let me call him myself."
After Leonardo hung up the phone, he tried to calm himself down, he had to calm down his tone.
Fernando Lucas is like a shrewd fox. As long as he detects the clues, the negotiations in Paris will become very passive, and may even be severely tricked.
Thinking of this, Leonardo's call to Fernando Lucas suddenly stopped, and he chose Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser instead.
At this time, it is best to communicate with Nasser first, tell him the situation, and at the same time find out whether the benefactor behind Paris is willing to pay the money.
If the old man didn't care, then Leonardo would simply rush to kill him, and there was no need to talk about the price, it was serious to snatch him away.
If the old man is unwilling to pay the money, then even if Leonardo negotiates the price, it will be of no use.
Thinking of this, Leonardo let out a long breath, then took a deep breath, and then called Nasser.
"Nasser, I need to report something to you. The situation has changed..."
