On July 1, the Bundesliga summer transfer window opened, and Chu Zheng was immediately pushed into the transfer market by Wolfsburg.
However, as Alofs expected, no one paid any attention to Chu Zheng, who was priced at 60 million.
In other words, Chu Zheng's worth has kept countless clubs away.
Even Manchester City, which wanted 40 million to take Chu Zheng away with them before the end of the season, backed down.
Manchester City is the wealthy club that Alofs thinks is most likely to take away Chu Zheng, so Alofs directly contacted Manchester City.
Manchester City also officially replied to Wolfsburg that they had given up their plan to sign Chu Zheng.
When Alofs heard Manchester City's reply, his face instantly turned ugly.
At the same time, Mario also got the news, and he immediately contacted Chu Zheng.
"Chu! I'm sorry, Manchester City has given up on you. They chose another defender." On the laptop screen, Mario looked regretful.
To be honest, he actually hopes that Chu Zheng will go to Manchester City, because Manchester City's current defense is very aging and needs fresh blood.
You don't have to wait too long now that Chu Zheng is gone. Perhaps with his excellent form, he can immediately occupy the position of the main central defender.
"So?" Chu Zheng sat in front of the desk in the room, with a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't see too many psychological fluctuations.
"Who will replace me?" Chu Zheng asked with a smile.
"Argentinian, Nicolas Otamendi!" Mario said expressionlessly, "According to media reports, negotiations between Manchester City and Valencia have ended and the two parties have reached an agreement. Otamendi joined with a transfer fee of 45 million.
Manchester City.”
"Understandable!"
Otamendi is 27 years old and in his prime as a professional player.
Moreover, this Argentine defender has proven his ability in the Portuguese Super League and La Liga and is already a mature defender.
Therefore, it is completely normal for Manchester City to give up the high-risk him and choose the low-risk Otamendi.
Thinking about it from another perspective, if Chu Zheng was in Manchester City's position, he would not dare to risk a high price to buy a player who only played for one season.
Seeing Chu Zheng smiling again, Mario really wanted to slap Chu Zheng into the wall.
After all this time, he was still laughing, and Mario couldn't help but sigh that Chu Zheng was so heartbroken.
"Chu, are you really worried about not being able to leave Wolfsburg?" Mario asked curiously.
Chu Zheng grinned and said: "Mario, there is a saying in China that a thousand-mile horse always exists, but a bole does not always exist!"
Chu Zheng was about to tell the story about the Chollima horse when Mario's cell phone suddenly rang.
Seeing Mario getting up to answer the phone, Chu Zheng immediately hung up the video.
Lying on the bed, Chu Zheng stared at the ceiling blankly.
Not long after, Mario sent another video invitation.
"Chu! Good news! Emenalo from Chelsea just contacted me through an intermediary. They want to know if you are willing to return to Stamford Bridge!"
According to FIFA regulations, clubs are not allowed to contact target players in advance.
But in fact, no team will completely abide by this rule. Before contacting the opposing club, they will privately inquire about the player's intentions.
What is more common is that like Chelsea, they contact the target player's agent through an intermediary to explore the target player's tone.
In this way, the player's intentions can be known without violating the regulations on direct contact with players, and it can also save time and energy.
In fact, most of the transfer news breaks out from this middleman.
"Chelsea?" Chu Zheng was startled when he heard Mario's slightly excited voice.
Chu Zheng still has great feelings for Chelsea, the club that trained him.
But the problem is that Chelsea's bench is full of stars. A little guy like him can really play football when he returns to Chelsea.
After Chu Zheng and Mario exchanged opinions, the two did not directly reject Chelsea, but planned to explore Chelsea's tone before making a decision.
Two days later, Mario got feedback from Chelsea from the intermediary.
Mourinho could only guarantee that Chu Zheng would have games to play after joining Chelsea, but he was unable to meet the number of games Chu Zheng requested.
Therefore, Chu Zheng directly asked Mario to reject Chelsea for the second time.
After Mourinho learned of Chu Zheng's rejection, he called Chu Zheng directly. During the phone call, he not only expressed his appreciation for Chu Zheng, but also expressed his intention to retain him.
But Chu Zheng simply pretended not to understand and declined.
In the next half month, the top clubs in the five major leagues in Europe's summer transfer window successively made large-scale signings.
First, news broke that Manchester City had officially signed De Bruyne, and then Manchester City spent 49 million to poach England forward Sterling from Liverpool.
Coupled with the ongoing negotiations for Otamendi, the combined value of these three players alone is already hundreds of millions of pounds.
Manchester City's inhumanity has given the European media ample talking points.
Manchester United is not willing to be left alone and has finalized multiple signings in succession.
Monaco’s Martial, Southampton’s Schneiderlin, PSV’s Depay, Bayern Munich’s Bastian Schweinsteiger, Torino’s Darmian and other players’ combined transfer costs are also
Already nearly 100 million pounds.
In the Bundesliga, major clubs are also in full swing buying their favorite players.
Wolfsburg's signings are also continuing.
After De Bruyne left, Wolfsburg quickly signed midfielder Draxler from Schalke 04 for 43 million.
And Chu Zheng's popularity began to disappear under the cover of these heavy signing news.
Soon, some negative news about Chu Zheng appeared in China.
"Chu Zheng is no one interested in the European transfer market. Does this mean that he has not yet been generally recognized by European football!"
"Chinese players are too unfamiliar with European football. Chu Zheng's experience reflects the low status of Chinese football in world football!"
"Where will Chu Zheng go! Many of the main players in the Wolfsburg team have left, and it is almost a fact that Wolfsburg's performance will decline next season."
Various news headlines appeared in newspapers and on the Internet, making many Chu Zheng fans begin to worry.
Early morning of July 16th.
The Chu Zheng family was having breakfast in the main room.
Chu Dong looked at Chu Zheng, who was feeding Lin Mengmeng, and hesitated several times.
Su Ping next to her rolled her eyes at Chu Dong and asked directly: "Xiao Zheng, are you in trouble with your transfer?"
Hearing Su Ping's words, Chu Zheng was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Mom, don't listen to the media's nonsense. My transfer has already been revealed!"
"We don't understand what's going on with you, but it's okay for your dad and I to be listeners!" Su Ping thought Chu Zheng said this because he was afraid that they would worry.
However, this is not the case. Chu Zheng’s transfer situation really took a turn for the better yesterday.
A club that Chu Zheng had never considered appeared, and it had already reached a basic agreement with Wolfsburg.
Leicester City.
Chu Zheng knew this club too well.
And just this season they will shine with a magical light that envelopes the whole world and become a breath of fresh air in the Jinyuan football era.
And this team also produced the best world-class defensive midfielder in the next ten years.
Mario was very opposed to Chu Zheng's move to Leicester City.
Chu Zheng knew that Mario disliked Leicester City being a relegation team.
But Chu Zheng knew what kind of light Leicester City would shine in the 2015-16 season, and he was very excited.
Because joining Leicester City means that he will once again win a heavyweight trophy.
Compared to wealthy clubs, Chu Zheng believes that he is now more suitable for civilian clubs.
He needs a lot of games to quickly gain experience.
This season at Wolfsburg, without the help of talented early warning, God knows how many times he would suffer from inexperience.
But even with the help of talented early warning, Chu Zheng is still often caught off guard on the court.
Therefore, after Chu Zheng hesitated for an hour, he directly dialed Ranieri's phone number.
After the two talked on the phone for nearly two hours, Chu Zheng directly agreed to Ranieri's invitation, making Mario so angry that he didn't contact him for three days.
It was really difficult for Mario to understand Chu Zheng's choice of Leicester City.
Like Chu Zheng, he also believed that Chu Zheng did not have to go to a wealthy club.
But no matter what, I won’t go to a relegation team.
Although there are competitions, is it fun to fight for relegation every year? Therefore, it is really difficult for Mario to understand Chu Zheng’s thoughts.
