When the entire Spain was immersed in the atmosphere of winning the World Cup and the uprising of the 18th La Liga princes, Gao Han returned to Manchester, England from South Africa and began to host Manchester City's summer transfer.

But he could receive the news as soon as possible and command remotely for everything that was happening far away in Spain.

As early as February, Gao Han had made it clear that Manchester City will focus on increasing the thickness of the bench lineup this summer and there will be no more big signings, which also sets a tone for the transfer market this summer.

And everyone knows that Gao Han always does what he says.

Martin Petrov finally refused to renew his contract with the club. He said that the conditions offered by the club could not be agreed, so he finally chose not to renew his contract with the club and transferred to Bolton for free.

This also made him the first person to leave Manchester City this summer.

The second to leave the team was Brazilian forward Ruo. The center came to Manchester City for a transfer fee of 19 million euros in 2008, but after only half a year of playing, he was loaned to Everton. However, he performed well in Everton and Gao Han decided to keep it.

Judging from his performance last season, if Gao Han's requirements were not met, another young player Sturridge performed better and was a local player, so Gao Han decided to send him away.

Everton was originally interested in the Brazilian center, but the Toffees could not meet Manchester City's transfer fee requirements, so in the end, if they had a transfer fee of 10 million euros, they went to Galatasaray in Turkey.

After sending away Petrov and Joe one after another, Manchester City only had five players, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Sanchez, Sturric and Adam Johnson, on the front line in the new season. According to Gao Han’s three forwards, it is definitely not enough, so the forward signing was put on the agenda.

In terms of midfield, Stephen Ireland was sent to the transfer market by Gao Han early, and the midfielder also attracted the attention of many Premier League teams including Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Aston Villa.

Among them, Aston Villa is also interested in Manchester City's former captain Richard Dunn. This central defender is very powerful, but it does not meet Gao Han's requirements for the defender, so he is forced to leave the team.

Tottenham Hotspur is also interested in Manchester City's Croatian right-back Korluca. Redknapp hopes to introduce the defender to strengthen the team's right-hand offense and defense.

"Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur are both very sincere, but they don't have much money."

In the conference room at the city stadium, Manchester City President Mubarak, General Manager Paul Fottery and Chief Scout David Harrison, and Gao Han, who has just returned to Manchester from South Africa, are discussing the signing goals for the new season.

In this summer's transfer, Gao Han only gave two or three candidates initially, and arranged the club to start operations early, but other positions still need to rely on the situation in the transfer market and adapt to the situation.

Especially Manchester City is now considering substitutes. Not every player can calm down, be a substitute with peace of mind, and guard the water dispenser well, so the signing plan may be adjusted at any time.

But after hearing Paul Futrey's words, Gao Han was a little surprised, "Why are you short of money?"

Logically speaking, the broadcast rights distribution of the Premier League is quite balanced, and each team has a large amount of money, so how can they lose money?

Paul Futrey certainly knew why Gao Han asked this, but he smiled helplessly.

"Actually, the overall income of the Premier League has indeed increased very quickly in recent years, but the salary of players has increased faster. I still remember that a weekly salary of 100,000 was considered a sky-high price, but now it is a weekly salary of hundreds of thousands of pounds. In addition, the club has made money in the past few years and has made a lot of recruitment. The overall strength has been improved, but the investment is not small and the operating pressure is also great."

"Among the four strong teams, Manchester United and Arsenal have the strongest business capabilities and the highest daily income on the game. However, the former is trapped by the debts of the Glazer family, and the latter has both teams slid down on diet for the new stadium. In addition, the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis are coming, and Chelsea has also begun to tighten its money."

"That's true for the giant teams. Think about it, what else can the other teams do?"

Gao Han understood what Paul Futre meant.

The most important difference in the income gap between Premier League teams is still concentrated on match days, the Champions League and commercial development. But now several giant teams have encountered problems. Manchester City has burned so much last year, so it is impossible to burn again this year. As for Liverpool, there is no confidence in the giants, so other teams in the Premier League have to live a hard life.

This is how it is in the professional league. You have to eat meat on it and then drink soup on it.

The same situation will definitely happen to the future La Liga. Even if the broadcast rights reform is really successful, Chinatown must continue to advance in the three lines, especially in commercial development, North America and Asia, especially the Chinese market, must increase efforts.

"What do they plan to do?"

Paul Futley smiled, "Lease first and buy out."

"They are so beautiful." Gao Han laughed with a squeak. This was simply a scene of making money from nothing.

"However, if they are willing to exchange people, they can consider it."

"Substitution?" Paul Futrey felt a little curious.

Gao Han nodded immediately, "If you don't have money, just exchange it for someone. This is normal."

Paul Futley and David Harrison looked at each other and were both surprised. Could it be that Gao Han really targeted them? Or was it just a joke?

"Who do you want to change?"

"Aston Villa's words...that James Milner."

"It's him!" Paul Futrey suddenly realized.

This player is Aston Villa's main midfielder, performs very well, and is the creator of the youngest age record in the Premier League. He is a typical English player, but he is good at his feet, has solid basic skills, and can also take on many different positions. He is a very diligent and versatile player.

"This season we will attack multiple lines in the Champions League, league and two cup matches. Mill will get a lot of opportunities after joining the team. If Aston Villa is willing to change, he will be replaced."

"What about Tottenham Hotspur?" Paul Futrey asked again.

Tottenham Hotspur almost entered the top four of the league last season and entered the Champions League, but eventually had to participate in the UEFA Cup, which has to be said to be a big regret. After losing a large amount of income, the North London team had to start tightening their money.

Coleluca is the player Redknapp has always wanted, and so is Stephen Ireland. However, Redknapp also wants to get Van der Fate from Real Madrid, so his pursuit of Ireland is not strong.

"Garreth Bell."

"Garreth Bale?" Paul Futrey hissed, frowned and thought, "The young player who performed well in the second half of last season?"

"Yes, it's him who played games with us and formed two wings with Allen Lennon. He was very fast and had a strong impact. He was also quite reliable in crossing from the left. I think it's good."

David Harrison smiled bitterly after hearing this, "But he seems to be a defender."

Gareth Bale was born in the Southampton youth training camp. Like other Saints' youth training, he has solid basic skills. He switched to Tottenham Hotspur in 2007, but later he was seriously injured and was on the verge for a long time. After returning from injury, he appeared as a substitute. However, every time he came on the bench, Tottenham Hotspur lost, so many people called him a disaster star.

He is a good friend to Walcott, who plays for Arsenal. The two used to play together in Southampton, but he obviously did not have the luck of the little tiger and met Wenger.

At Tottenham Hotspur, Gareth Bale never got a chance, even last season, but later with left-back ACTO participating in the African Cup, Gareth Bale qualified and served as the left winger. She performed well and gradually gained a foothold.

This is why the devil's wings formed by Gareth Bale and Allen Lennon when they were against Manchester City.

Korluca's transfer valuation is about 10 million euros, and Gareth Bale should be about the same number now. One can be changed, and it is really possible to do it.

"So what about the full-back? Is there a difference for me?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

Everyone smiled helplessly.

This man really never cares about player positions, especially at changing player positions.

"Can he do it?" Paul Futrey asked with concern.

The Portuguese often have concerns about England's youth training players, fearing that the team that cannot integrate into the high-altitude team will be wasted one investment.

"Don't worry, this player is good." Gao Han laughed, "Oh, by the way, there is another one, we can add some more money. You talk to Tottenham Hotspur, the tall center who sat on the bench when playing with us before was called..."

Gao Han had no impression of this tall center, but he glanced at the bench that time and took a look at it. He thought it was very good, and he was not very old, only seventeen years old, so he didn't care much.

"Yes, it's Harry Kane, it seems that I can't play at Tottenham Hotspur. If you put it in, one for two, we can add some money."

Paul Fottery smiled bitterly. Is Tottenham a player who is digging Manchester City or is Manchester City digging Tottenham's corner? Why does it feel like Gao Han has been planning for a long time?

But this really wronged Gao Han.

In fact, if Tottenham hadn't brought it to the door, he wouldn't have considered poaching these two players, but they were all substitutes. Gao Han prefers to poach such more shaped young players, cultivate and train them.

Moreover, he has seen it with his keen eyes that these two players are indeed among the best among the younger generation in the UK.

Of course, if it were another team, Gao Han would still be able to make a mistake. However, for any Premier League team, who does not have one or two outstanding young players except Manchester City, which is ridiculed as an international column?

After Stephen Ireland and Richard Dunn left the team, Harry Kane, Gareth Bale and James Milner happened to introduce them to fill the vacancies of the team's local players and youth training, and strengthen the team's bench thickness, killing two birds with one stone.

What's more, this doesn't cost much.

"By the way, have you dealt with the two players I told you last time?" Gao Han asked with concern.

When he initially planned the summer transfer plan, Gao Han gave Paul Futre two people, one who chose a left-side central defender who had been selected for more than half a year, and the other was a substitute he planned to be Kaka. These two players were appointed by him and were of great importance.

"Don't worry, I definitely don't dare to be careless about what you told me. I've already contacted you."

As he said that, Paul Futrey handed over two pieces of materials and went to Gao Han.
