Chapter 815 Spend It with Money!
After the game against West Bromwich Albion, Manchester City began to concentrate on preparing for the next game.
The next game is still away, the opponent is Southampton.
This is not a good opponent to deal with.
At the same time, the news about Real Madrid's pursuit of Hazard has become more and more intense!
The local Belgian media even found that Real Madrid's football director showed up at Hazard's home and had contact with Hazard's father.
When pictures of Valdano walking out of Hazard's house came out, there was an immediate uproar.
FIFA has rules on transfers.
Unless it is a player with the second half of the contract left, otherwise, the club is not allowed to contact the player in private.
Of course, this rule is difficult to regulate.
But if it was discovered, that's another story.
After the photo was circulated, Real Madrid denied the rumors that they had been in contact with the players in private for the first time.
"Valdano just happened to pass by Hazard's hometown during a tour of Belgium!"
This is what the Real Madrid spokesman said.
Of course, this is an excuse.
Everyone knows it's an excuse.
But what can you do with Real Madrid?
After all, even if you contact Hazard's family, you can't say that Real Madrid is directly contacting the players!
Real Madrid's spokesman was very proud when he said this.
Whoever Real Madrid wants, will do anything to get it!
High-flying Real Madrid fans also joked on social media.
"I hope Valdanodo travels to Belgium!"
"If only I happened to meet Azar by chance!"
"It should be hoped that Hazard will come to the Bernabeu..."
Real Madrid fans are very proud.
What about Manchester City!
What about the new Champions League champion!
On the background!
On the attractiveness of players!
Ten Manchester City can't compare to Real Madrid! !
In the media, Madrid's media is mostly a ridicule gesture.
In their opinion, Real Madrid wants a player, and it is not surprising to use such means.
Who made Real Madrid a natural attraction for players?
The English media is accusing Real Madrid of illegal signings.
"Valdano obviously played a side ball. He was in contact with Hazard's family. However, such behavior is undoubtedly a loophole in the rules!! Such a blatant violation of the signing rules should be given by UEFA. punish!"
"Sky Sports" said in the report.
But even if the English media scolds, Real Madrid will not care.
On the contrary, their fans believe that it is the attraction of Real Madrid that can be used in this way.
And the Manchester City club, of course, is very annoyed!
As soon as the news came out, club director Soriano appeared in the office of head coach Gao Bo to discuss countermeasures!
Pacing back and forth from Soriano, looking anxiously.
The trouble that Real Madrid brought to Manchester City is indeed quite troublesome.
Gao Bo didn't care: "As long as we move forward with renewing the player's contract as soon as possible, Real Madrid will have nothing to do."
"No, no, even if Hazard renews his contract in the end, our club is still put together by Real Madrid. This matter can't be left alone, otherwise other big clubs will come to play with our players like this. Annoying!"
"Be sure to give Real Madrid a fluke!"
Soriano said.
"The boss has already told me that money... is not a problem!"
Gao Bo's eyes lit up, and Gao Bo did not participate in the signing plan of the winter window, because it was a trade transfer of some young players, and had little connection with the first team. Gao Bo did not want to spread his energy too much.
But after hearing Soriano say this, Gao Bo came up with a trick.
"They dig our corners, and we can dig back!!"
Gao Bo said.
Soriano's eyes also brightened: "What you said is true!!"
"What Real Madrid can do, why can't we do it!!"
"Do you have any plans for the winter window, Gao? Why don't we quote all Real Madrid players?"
Soriano only wanted to disgust the other party.
But Gao Bo did not agree.
"We have a saying in China that it is better to cut off one finger if it hurts ten fingers!!"
"Since we want to take revenge, let's be ruthless, concentrate resources, and poach a player from Real Madrid who will definitely make them feel pain!!"
Soriano looked at Gao Bo strangely: "You don't want Ronaldo, do you?!"
Gao Bo rolled his eyes: "I want it, but it's just to get revenge on the opponent. It's not worth paying such a big price. Moreover, the person who bought it should also consider whether we can use it."
Soriano nodded.
According to the current market, it is really... too difficult to buy Ronaldo.
"Central defender!! Our central defender is still a little weak!"
Gao Bo stood up and said after thinking for a while.
Now the team's main central defender is Kompany's partner Umtiti, but the strength of the two backup central defenders Maguire and Lescott is not top-notch.
And Gao Bo thought of the future French team's golden center-back combination, Varane partnered with Umtiti! !
"Varane!!! Concentrate resources and attack this point in Varane!!!"
Gao Bo said in a deep voice.
And Soriano shines.
Varane....
The genius central defender who claims to be the future core of Real Madrid's defense has gradually replaced Pepe's main position and has begun to play the main force in Real Madrid!
Digging out Varane is an irreparable loss for Real Madrid's team building plan in the next five years!
Although people are more concerned about the players in the frontcourt.
However, a good central defender will be a real rarity in the next few years!
"Then Varane!!" Soriano punched his palm! !
"This time, we also want to let Real Madrid experience the feeling of being robbed of players!!"
......
Soon, City's transfer department had plans.
Currently, Varane's contract penalty is 70 million euros!
This price is undoubtedly sky-high for a central defender.
After all, players in the backcourt are inherently less valuable than those in the frontcourt.
70 million to buy a central defender, it is estimated that not many teams will be willing to do so.
But... that doesn't include Manchester City.
"No contact with Real Madrid!!"
Soriano personally sat in charge and directed the operation of "strongly digging" Varane this time.
"Let the PR department handle Varane directly!!"
"How much does he want, let him come up with it himself!!"
Soriano said domineeringly.
In short, Real Madrid uses the so-called "children's dream" to attract players.
Manchester City is much easier.
They just throw money at it!
