Star Card System

After a tense season, the Premier League giants are looking forward to the new season.

Some giants are looking forward to the championship in the new season, and some mid-level teams are looking forward to entering the European war zone.

Even if it is just a relegation team, it must go all out to stay in the Premier League, at least an extra 100 million in advertising revenue each year.

In this context, the strength of each team's recruitment is naturally very strong.

The defending champion Manchester City took the brunt and signed strong reinforcements in succession.

70 million euros signed 23-year-old Spanish midfielder Rodri, and 65 million euros bought 25-year-old Portuguese defender Cancelo.

Both transfers were quick and decisive.

Next are 19-year-old defender Polo, 22-year-old defender Angelino, and 24-year-old American goalkeeper Steffen.

These players are all prepared for the team's future, and the cost is gradually increasing to 50 million euros.

Overall, Guardiola is still quite satisfied with the championship lineup last season. This season, as long as some bench depth is strengthened, the team's multi-line competitiveness can continue to be maintained.

Compared to Manchester City's usual generosity, Arsenal's move surprised many people.

80 million euros!

Nicolas Pepe!

The 24-year-old Ligue 1 striker broke Arsenal's transfer record!

Emery has gone all out this season!

In addition to Pepe, Arsenal also spent 30 million euros to introduce 18-year-old defender Saliba, 27 million euros to sign 22-year-old defender Tierney, and 8.7 million euros to buy Brazilian veteran defender David Luiz.

All three transfers are to strengthen the defense line, and many strong teams are doing the same thing this summer.

There is also the 18-year-old striker Martinelli, who also cost Arsenal 7.1 million euros.

At the same time, two young players Saka and Nelson were promoted from the youth team, both of whom are extremely talented.

After a bad season, Emery cannot afford to make mistakes in the new season.

Arsenal, which has always been frugal, is willing to spend money, and Tottenham, which is also frugal, also spent a lot of money to buy strong reinforcements.

For 62 million euros, they bought the 22-year-old French midfielder Ndombele.

This transfer is quite bold.

They also spent 27 million euros to sign the 19-year-old English teenager Sessegnon, and 11 million euros to buy the 18-year-old English striker Clark.

Both transfers are investments in the future.

The 23-year-old Argentine midfielder Lo Celso joined the team on loan, which is also a great help for Pochettino.

Tottenham spent more than 100 million euros in the new season.

Chelsea spent 45 million euros to buy midfielder Kovacic from Real Madrid.

Leicester City also invested a lot, signing the 22-year-old Belgian star Tielemans for 45 million euros, buying the 25-year-old Spanish striker Pereira for 33.4 million euros, and signing the Belgian midfielder Praet for 19.2 million euros.

Wolves, who ranked seventh in the league last season, also signed Raul Jimenez for 38 million euros; at the same time, they bought stars such as Cutrone, Neto, Dendoncker, Jordan, and the total cost exceeded 100 million euros.

In this bidding-like purchase, Manchester United is naturally more arrogant.

This season's Premier League single transfer record creator - Manchester United!

And the player who created the transfer record is also very familiar to Manchester United fans - Maguire!

The 26-year-old English central defender Maguire was the most dazzling superstar on Leicester City's defense last season.

In fact, he was already shining enough in the 2018 World Cup.

England can reach the semi-finals, and Maguire's defense line has contributed greatly.

As a lagging central defender, Maguire has brought the characteristics of England's traditional central defender to the extreme.

He has hardness, height, impact, and can head the ball.

Maguire has already attracted enough attention.

But for Manchester United, they have been observing for a long time.

At this time last year, Mourinho strongly suggested that the club sign Maguire.

However, the club's transfer department conducted an assessment at the time and felt that the deal was not worthwhile.

How much?

60 million euros.

This asking price seems a bit high for a central defender, but for a player who performs well, is not very young, and has an English household registration, the price is very fair.

Especially with the good relationship between Xia Xing and Leicester City, Vichai did not ask for a high price at the time.

But even so, Manchester United management was unwilling to pay the money.

But now, they are in short supply at the central defender position and have no choice but to make another move.

However, after an outstanding season, Maguire's value is much higher than before.

But Manchester United management doesn't care!

We have to pay more to buy people!

In the end, with the efforts of Manchester United management, the transfer was finally completed at 87 million euros.

The saying "Man Lift" has once again become a joke among fans.

Solskjaer has no way to deal with it.

Anyway, the club is willing to pay the money, so just pay it, anyway, it's fine as long as the person I want can be brought in.

Maguire joined quickly, and Manchester United's second deal was soon reached.

Manchester United signed 21-year-old English defender Wan Bissaka for 55 million euros.

This talented defender from Crystal Palace just entered the first team from the youth team last season.

In just one season, he showed top performance and was also selected for the national team.

With his outstanding performance this season, he was favored by Solskjaer.

Finally, he transferred to Manchester United at a high price.

The price of 55 million euros is indeed not low for a young man who has just emerged.

However, according to rumors from The Sun, when Crystal Palace learned that Manchester United wanted to buy players, they wanted to offer 30 million euros.

But unexpectedly, Manchester United directly offered 40 million euros!

And they said that if they felt it was not suitable, they could continue to talk!

This made Crystal Palace a little confused.

Otherwise, let's try 60 million euros?

This time, Manchester United's transfer manager was determined-it's expensive!

It's definitely expensive!

We will offer a maximum of 55 million euros.

Well, this is the origin of the final transaction price.

Although most fans think it is fabricated, this statement is not groundless.

Two transfers almost exhausted Manchester United's transfer budget for the summer, making Solskjaer's other several strong signings come to nothing.

In the end, Solskjaer could only settle for the second best and introduced 21-year-old Welsh striker Daniel James.

This Swansea boy cost 17.8 million euros.

He was also promoted to the first team from the Swansea youth team last season.

His performance in one season is not bad.

He played 33 times, scored 4 goals and assisted 7 times.

As a young player, he is qualified.

However, for Manchester United, which is in urgent need of strengthening the striker, this is obviously not enough.

Manchester United will still worry about the attacking power of the striker in the new season.

Because without buying a new striker, Manchester United sent away two strikers.

Lukaku was sold to Inter Milan, which was strongly requested by the Belgian striker.

He was not reused by Solskjaer last season, and now he is determined to leave the team.

Sanchez also left on loan, and his goal is also Inter Milan.

This pair of brothers in distress joined the Serie A giants at the same time.

At the same time, Manchester United also cleared out two defenders, Smalling and Damian, and sent them to the Serie A league.

Smalling was loaned out to Rome.

Damian was sold to Parma for a transfer fee of only 2.48 million euros, which was pitifully small, like giving him away for free.

It seems that the old and new are changing, but the team is still in crisis.

However, for Solskjaer, the biggest worry is not these transfers.

What he is most worried about is the captain's stay or departure... (End of this chapter)
