Star Card System

The stumbling 2019-2020 season has ended.

This season will go down in history in the future.

A plague has put the football world on hold.

In the end, it stumbled and barely ended.

Manchester United ended with the Europa League championship.

Although the league was regrettable, the final result of the Europa League was not bad, and this season also gained something.

At least fans can look forward to the next season.

This summer, European clubs are under great pressure.

Because of the impact of the plague, the global economy has suffered a serious blow.

Especially for the giants, player salaries are the top priority.

The total investment in the entire summer transfer window is the lowest in five years.

Now it is difficult for clubs to pay large transfer fees to buy players.

However, for some local tycoon clubs, they still have the ability to spend money like water.

For example, Chelsea spent 80 million euros to introduce German teenager Havertz, 53 million euros to introduce Werner, 50.2 million euros to buy Leicester City's popular genius Chilwell, and 40 million euros to buy Ajax striker Ziyech. These four transfers alone exceeded 200 million euros. There are also a number of powerful stars such as goalkeeper Mendy, center back Thiago Silva, and defender Sarr. Chelsea has great ambitions in the new season.

Manchester City, which lost the championship last season, continued to spend money this summer, focusing on improving the back line. They spent 68 million euros to sign Portuguese star Dias and 45.3 million euros to introduce Dutch center back Ake. The two transfers exceeded 100 million euros. There are also young forwards Ferran Torres and Bustos joining, and Manchester City's two lines continue to upgrade.

Arsenal is also not idle. They signed Thomas, a powerful midfielder, for 50 million euros, introduced Gabriel, a young Brazilian defender, for 26 million euros, and also signed William, an experienced striker from Chelsea. The three lines are continuously strengthened. This summer, they promoted a group of young players from the youth team, such as Smith Rowe and other young players. These young people will become the new hope of the team in the future.

Tottenham spent a lot this summer, more than 100 million euros. Lo Celso, Reguilon, Doherty, Hojbjerg, Joe Rodon... Many powerful stars joined the team. In the new season, Mourinho has more trump cards to compete with old rivals.

Leicester City sold Chilwell. They did not keep the money in the bank, but invested it all in the transfer market. 35 million euros to sign Fofana and 20.9 million euros to buy Castagne. These two players are all defenders, just to make up for the vacancy after Chilwell left the team. In addition, they promoted Luke Thomas, Daniel Iverson and other young players from the youth team to continue to ensure the flow of young blood.

Competitors have made moves, and this season's Premier League champion Liverpool has not been idle. They have made moves in succession, signing Diogo Jota, Thiago and Tsimikas, and all three lines have been strengthened. Liverpool is looking forward to defending the title in the new season.

The Premier League is lively, and Serie A is also lively this year.

Juventus spent 72 million euros to dig Arthur from Barcelona. Then they sent Pjanic from the team to Barcelona for a transfer fee of 60 million euros. The economic operations of these two clubs are very good...

Naples spent 70 million euros to transfer Osimhen from Lille in Ligue 1 to Naples. They have great ambitions this season.

Inter Milan introduced Ashraf from Real Madrid at a high price of 43 million euros, but it is indeed a high-end product, and the money is worth it. Barella was bought out again, spending 32.5 million euros. At the same time, Sensi and Pinamonti were signed, spending a total of 46 million euros. Adding up these transfers, Inter Milan's transfer fee is over 100 million.

La Liga is still an era of three strong teams competing for supremacy.

Atletico Madrid bought out Morata, who was on loan from Chelsea, for 35 million euros. The 27-year-old Spanish center is looking forward to rebirth. Former Atletico Madrid star Carrasco returned from China and spent 27 million euros. The most surprising thing is that Atletico Madrid signed Barcelona veteran Suarez, and the transfer was only 9 million euros. Rodrigo Riquelme, a young player promoted from the youth team, is highly appreciated by Simeone and will get a chance in the new season.

Barcelona, ​​which is still in a period of change, has not changed much this summer. Arthur was sold and Pjanic was introduced, and there was not much change. The 20-year-old Portuguese teenager Trincao cost the team 30 million euros, but this transfer was not favored by many people. After all, this young man has not proved his strength in the top league. Young players such as Fati and Pedro have been promoted to the first team. They are the new hope of the team. It is precisely because of their rapid growth that the club can boldly abandon veterans and decisively sell stars such as Suarez, Rakitic and Vidal. Barcelona's transformation is still ongoing, and they are still latent in the new season.

Compared with Barcelona's downturn in the transfer market, Real Madrid is also the same. They sold players such as Ashraf, Reguilon, and Rodriguez, and accumulated more than 100 million euros. The rest are just some loans and youth team promotions, without major moves. Last season, they spent a lot of money and introduced many talented stars, Milito, Mendy, Rodrigo, Jovic... These young players are enough to fill the team's lineup. Real Madrid now has a complete lineup and good financial situation.

In Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain is still the only one.

Paris spent 50 million euros to buy out Icardi, who was on loan last season, and then spent only a few million euros to bring in Rico and Rafinha. This is their total transfer investment, less than 60 million euros. They promoted many young rookies from the youth team, such as Muyinga, Pembele, Ati... Paris's signing strategy began to develop towards a benign defense line.

Although Paris did not spend a lot of money, they are still the club with the most investment in Ligue 1.

Last season, Ligue 1 was cancelled in the second half of the season due to the epidemic, which had a great impact on all clubs. In terms of advertising revenue, a lot of share was lost. So everyone has no money.

Compared with Ligue 1, the Bundesliga is poorer. They are still the poorest of the five major leagues, no doubt about it.

Bayern spent 49 million euros to dig up Sane from Manchester City, which is also their limit.

Dortmund signed the English genius midfielder Bellingham. For this 17-year-old teenager, they spent a high price of 30 million euros. At the same time, the 15-year-old supernova Moukoko was promoted to the first team. Dortmund's overall idea this season is still clear, and it is still developing in the direction of cultivating supernovas.

Many European giants are surging in the transfer market, but on the Manchester United side, their management's transfer operations have not satisfied the fans... (End of this chapter)
