In July, as Premier League clubs issued pre-match summons, players from all over the world also returned one after another.
Next, not only are the pre-match training sessions going on in various clubs, but the transfer market is also becoming more and more lively, ushering in the peak period of Premier League transfers.
This summer window, the Premier League transfer window is very lively, and countless media are constantly being stimulated by major transfer news as if it is Christmas.
In early June, as soon as the summer transfer window opened, the Manchester Evening News broke the news that Manchester City would continue to purge redundant players in the team on a large scale during this summer window. This time it would be the largest roster purge in the history of Manchester City.
This is indeed the case!
A week later, the first cleaning crews showed up.
Four players, Navas, Clichy, Caballero and Sagna, were listed for sale in the transfer window.
The official reason given by Manchester City is that these four people do not meet the tactical requirements of Manchester City coach Guardiola.
Four players were purged in one day, immediately causing a collective uproar in the English media and making countless media and fans aware of Manchester City's determination.
In the following days, Manchester City continued its purge and successively announced the departure of as many as six players, including Iheanacho, Onar, Boni, Moi, Nolito and Manchester City's legendary iron waist Fernando.
Manchester City's series of crazy purges completely detonated the English media.
A large number of Blue Moon fans even yelled at Guardiola on social media, saying that he was trying to destroy Manchester City.
But no one thought that Manchester City would do something even crazier, that is, their moves in terms of signings, which were simply simple and crude.
Just a few days later, Manchester City officially announced a new signing almost every day.
Benjamin Mendy
Bernardo Silva
Kyle Walker
Edson
Danilo
Luiz
Kayode
These seven players have cost Manchester City nearly 300 million pounds in total. In addition to the 190 million pounds Guardiola squandered last season, Manchester City's investment in signings in the two seasons has reached a terrifying 500 million pounds.
This has caused many Premier League club mouthpieces and media to publicly denounce Manchester City as a gold-dollar football, showing naked envy and hatred.
In addition to Manchester City, the annual drama of Manchester United intercepting Chelsea some time ago also made countless fans applaud and made countless media enthusiastic.
After the end of last season, Mourinho, who only won one Community Shield championship, was not immediately fired by Manchester United's top management. Instead, he received a large amount of money for signings.
This caught all the media by surprise and they had no idea what happened.
Mourinho and Manchester United CEO Woodward, who received high-level support, waved the pound and targeted Real Madrid's Morata.
Mourinho's tactical system needs a strong center who can be a fulcrum.
However, Ibrahimovic was injured and his attitude towards contract renewal was ambiguous, which forced Manchester United to reconsider the choice of striker and start negotiations with Real Madrid.
Chelsea, on the other hand, made a formal offer of 100 million pounds for Moyang immediately after the transfer window opened. The offer continued to increase, reaching 120 million pounds, but Liverpool refused without hesitation, which made Chelsea helpless. He had to give up his pursuit of Mo Yang.
Conte told Costa before the transfer window opened to find a new home.
Conte then targeted Everton's star Lukaku, who scored 25 goals this season, and wanted to bring the abandoned player back to Stamford Bridge.
Originally, both parties were talking about their own issues, but it seemed that there was no connection at all.
But Manchester United simply couldn't bear to be gaped at by Real Madrid's Florentino Lion.
Morata wants 90 million euros, which is far beyond Manchester United's expectations.
While Manchester United was hesitant to accept the offer, Everton showed its desire to buy Manchester United captain Rooney.
The emergence of Everton made Manchester United realize that there is still Lukaku, why bother to let Real Madrid kill him?
So after friendly negotiations between Manchester United and Everton, Rooney joined Everton for zero transfer fee.
Lukaku moved to Manchester United for £7,500 plus 15 million in additional terms.
Now Chelsea was dumbfounded. Just when the negotiation was about to be concluded, it was cut off.
There are very few first-class centers in their prime in the transfer market, and even fewer may be transferred. The only candidates who meet Conte's requirements are Lukaku and Morata.
Helpless, Conte finally had to sign Morata for 58 million instead.
Except for these three clubs, the other clubs have not made much action.
Arsenal's biggest signing was on French Ligue 1 forward Lacazette from Lyon, costing £4,770.
In addition, their most important signing is to retain the team's thigh Sanchez.
As for Tottenham, if the club's top management's goal this season is to win the championship, even their own fans may not believe it.
The stinginess of Tottenham's senior management in the transfer market this season has even caused some discordant voices within the team.
After selling Walker, Tottenham only made some minor adjustments to the bench. The largest signing was Aurier for 22.5 million euros to fill the vacancy after Walker left.
As for Liverpool, the silence so far this season has made the media feel a little unusual.
Because since the summer transfer window opened, Liverpool has been quiet except for some young players on loan who have entered the transfer market.
The two veterans, Sturridge and Reva, who had been clamoring to leave before, completely stopped talking about it after Liverpool won the championship. They renewed their contracts with Liverpool for one year just after the season.
The media's hunch was correct.
On June 31, Liverpool suddenly officially announced that they had successfully signed Monaco’s Brazilian midfielder Fabinho for 46 million pounds.
Within the next week, two more forward signings were announced one after another.
Signed Portuguese winger Thiago Jota from Wolves for £15m.
Then he took Xherdan Shaqiri from Stoke City for 14 million.
These two strikers are not worth much, and it is obvious that Klopp is preparing for multi-line operations this season, strengthening the depth of Liverpool's bench.
However, just when the media thought that Liverpool's signings for this season were over, the English media suddenly revealed that Liverpool was in contact with the Swede.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the culprit behind Ibrahimovic's ambiguous attitude towards renewing his contract with Manchester United was immediately found.
After Manchester United's Mourinho learned about it, he was stunned for a while and then smiled helplessly. He knew that Ibrahimovic's contract extension would most likely not be completed.
In Mourinho's eyes, no forward can refuse the pass from Liverpool's monster midfielder.
Being teammates with Mo Yang means countless goals.
…
"Zlatan, have you really decided?"
In the living room of Ibrahimovic's house in Manchester, a fat man sat opposite Ibrahimovic, with an ugly expression on his face.
Raiola, the famous vampire in football, and Mendes are the two biggest agents in football.
But Raiola's reputation is too bad. He is an agent who purely maximizes profits as his ultimate goal and then sucks blood.
Mendes is very different from him. Although Mendes is also good at hype, his transfers can often make the club, the players and himself get the maximum benefit and make everyone satisfied.
From this point of view, Raiola and Mendes are not on the same level at all.
Seeing that Ibrahimovic was about to successfully renew his contract with Manchester United, he didn't expect that Liverpool would suddenly come out.
At the end of the season, the contract between Manchester United and Ibrahimovic is over. Ibrahimovic is now a free agent and he can go to any club he wants.
Once Ibrahimovic goes to Liverpool, the benefits of Manchester United's promise to him will be gone.
That's five million pounds, and he can get it as long as Ibrahimovic moves his fingers.
"I've decided! Go to Liverpool!" Ibrahimovic grinned, his eyes were extremely firm, his tone was unquestionable, and he was domineering.
He has played against Liverpool three times this season, and he knows very well how terrifying Liverpool's monster midfielder is.
As long as that monster is around, he thinks no team in the Premier League can do it better than Liverpool.
If you can't beat them, join them!
"Zlatan, you have to think clearly. Once you join Liverpool, your reputation in the Premier League will be greatly affected! Liverpool is Manchester United's mortal enemy, and Manchester United fans will not let you go! And Liverpool fans may not let you go.
You will be welcome!"
Raiola is still trying to persuade Ibrahimovic to stay at Manchester United, but he is unwilling to give in.
"Then what!" Ibrahimovic squinted and glanced at Raiola, "I never care about their opinions. What I pursue is victory and championship. As long as I can bring them honor, I am their god.
!”
Raiola was startled by Ibrahimovic's eyes, did not continue to persuade, and gave up decisively.
If it were an average player, he could still handle it.
But for this man, he couldn't hold it, and he didn't dare to, otherwise the beating would be a light one.
