But amidst the wave of public opinion, a day later, the British Guardian published news. Greenwald stated in a column that Gao Han did not mention a word about contract renewal when he was interviewed after the game. As before, the rapids retreated and left Manchester City.

"As I said before, if Gao Han leads the team to win the Champions League, he will leave Manchester City and the Premier League. Now, the facts are approaching my previous prediction step by step, maybe in the next day or two."

The famous anchor of Spanish Radio Ser de la Morena also vowed that Gao Han will leave Manchester City and the Premier League. "As far as I know, Manchester City has been informed clearly that Gao Han has rejected the club's sky-high annual salary of 100 million euros. .”

With the outside world speculating on whether Gao Han will leave Manchester City, Barcelona has given two pieces of precise information on its official website. The first one is Guardiola's contract extension, which the outside world has been paying attention to.

The Barcelona coach has made it clear that he will complete the contract extension with Barcelona and will sign a contract in the near future.

If the first news surprised all Barcelona fans, then the second news made them feel very depressed, that is, captain Puyol will officially undergo knee surgery on the afternoon of June 1.

Puyol's left knee was injured in a match against Racing Santander on January 22, and he was sidelined for three months after being substituted. However, Puyol refused surgery and adopted conservative treatment, which has not been completely completed. After recovery, even the Champions League final was played behind closed doors, so the performance was not particularly ideal.

After the Champions League final, after treatment by the team doctor, it was felt that Puyol's left knee injury could no longer be delayed and that surgery was needed. The players, coaching staff and club also unanimously agreed with this plan, so the surgery was decided.

But the surgery is expected to sideline Puyol for more than three months, with a return as early as early in the season.

However, people are unsure whether Puyol can continue to be the main force of the club's defense after his return.

Therefore, after Puyol announced his surgery, Barcelona has urgently started the signing process.

Milito has been excluded from the squad by Guardiola and is expected to leave the team in the summer. After Puyol's surgery, it is urgent for Barcelona to introduce a high-level central defender, and according to media rumors in Catalonia , Barcelona’s number one signing target is centre-back Thiago Silva, who plays for AC Milan.

Since Thiago Silva joined AC Milan in 2009, his performance has been very stable and has attracted the attention of many wealthy teams. This summer, many wealthy teams including Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea and Manchester United are all signing up. Pay attention to this Brazilian central defender. His contract with AC Milan expires in 2013, but his annual salary is only 2.5 million euros after tax. This is obviously not in line with the performance of the Brazilian central defender.

It is said that AC Milan is negotiating a contract extension with Thiago Silva, but the Brazilian central defender's agent Mendes said in a previous interview with the media that Galliani's contract extension lacked sincerity and the annual salary given was too high for many interested parties. The lowest in Thiago Silva's side.

Although Mendes' move is suspected of putting pressure on AC Milan, it also allows many wealthy teams to smell the opportunity and have their thoughts on Thiago Silva, especially Barcelona, ​​which is in urgent need of a central defender. .

In addition to Thiago Silva, Barcelona’s central defender signing list also includes Manchester City’s defensive midfielder and right central defender Mascherano. However, it is very difficult to introduce this Argentine player. The other one is Olympique from Chinatown. Tamendi.

The Argentinian central defender was once a popular figure in the European football transfer market, but with the downturn of the World Cup in South Africa, many teams were scared away. However, his outstanding performance this year, especially helping Chinatown get fourth in La Liga, Reaching the Champions League, Otamendi once again won the recognition of all the wealthy teams.

Chinatown's two central defenders, Otamendi and Alderweireld, are the recruitment targets of many wealthy teams. Barcelona prefers Otamendi, whose characteristics are close to Puyol.
