With the end of the World Cup, the European League has returned to the attention of the media and fans.

During the World Cup, European football quietly completed several major transactions.

The first thing that is unsurprising is that Atletico Madrid center Diego Costa transfers to Chelsea for a high price of 38 million euros. This deal was reported by the media long before the World Cup and even before the end of the season.

In addition to Diego Costa, Chelsea also fell in love with Atletico Madrid's defense line, among which left-back Felipe transferred to Chelsea for 20 million euros. Yang Yang's former teammate was favored by Mourinho. If he could continue Atletico Madrid's performance at Chelsea, he would undoubtedly take his career to a higher level.

The two deals have brought nearly 60 million euros in transfer income to Atletico Madrid, and other potential players who have left the team one after another and the team's performance in the Champions League last season will all give Atletico Madrid a very abundant funding.

After selling Diego Costa, Simeone immediately introduced Croatian center Mandzukizi from Bayern Munich, a deal that cost 22 million euros.

Goalkeeper Courtois has been in the doubts about transfer since six months ago. The outside world has always linked him with Barcelona, ​​and the Belgian goalkeeper himself has not strong desire to return to Chelsea.

According to Mourinho's intention, he hopes that the young Courtois will return to Stamford Bridge and compete with veteran Cech to take up a double insurance for Chelsea's goal, but Courtois clearly refuses.

From the perspective of career development, during his three years at Atletico Madrid, he has proved that he is the most outstanding among the young goalkeepers in Europe. He is also the main level of the Champions League final and the best goalkeeper in the Champions League. In this case, he cannot accept that he has to give up everything he has obtained at Atletico Madrid and compete for Chelsea to take up his post.

From a personal perspective, he had a Spanish girlfriend who was very adaptable to Spanish life and was unwilling to return to the Premier League. So he clearly stated before the Brazil World Cup that he hoped that Chelsea could give him a correct word. If he could not replace Cech, it would be better to let him transfer to Atletico Madrid forever.

Atletico Madrid officials also made the same statement, hoping to buy out Courtois, but Chelsea refused to contact Atletico Madrid about Courtois' transfer because Atletico Madrid's bid did not meet Chelsea's requirements, and even Barcelona felt embarrassed.

According to the revelations given by the British Daily Mail, Chelsea's clear asking price for Courtois is 40 million euros, but both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona believe that the price is relatively high and are still in contact and negotiations with Chelsea.

Atletico Madrid is also preparing for both ways. If Courtois cannot be kept, they will introduce Oblak from Benfica of the Portuguese Super League.

The Slovenian goalkeeper is only 21 years old and very young. He performed well in the Portuguese Super League, but he has not really proved his strength so far. But even so, if Atletico Madrid wants to get him, he must pay more than 15 million euros in transfer fee to convince Benfica.

If Diego Costa leaves the team and introduces Mandzuki, David Villa goes to the United States, Atletico Madrid targets Real Sociedad French player Griezmann, and the transfer fee is expected to be as high as 30 million euros.

...

In addition to Atletico Madrid's entry and exit, another popular transfer team during the World Cup is Barcelona.

The starry sky before last season, and the team was empty after the end of the season, and the team was in a financial crisis and Chairman Rossell stepped down, all these made Barcelona fall into a quagmire. Many people are worried whether Barcelona will never recover from now on?

But during the summer transfer, Barcelona proved itself with efficient transfers.

With a net worth of 20 million euros, Croatian midfielder Rakitic was introduced from Sevilla. This transfer is hailed as a major move by Barcelona to strengthen the team's midfield. Rakitic has proved his strength in La Liga.

Not only that, Barcelona also aimed at Bayern Munich's midfielder Tony Kroos, hoping to introduce the World Cup champion to the team, replace veteran Xavi's position, and act as the team's midfield soul core.

Fabregas went to Chelsea with a transfer fee of 33.5 million euros, which was another big deal for Barcelona, ​​and it also caused controversy among Barcelona fans. Many people believe that it is not wise to sell Fabregas, but some people believe that Fabregas did not play as a successor to Xavi during his time at Barcelona.

In addition, Barcelona sent the team's substitute winger Sanchez to Arsenal at a high price of 37.8 million euros, which was a rare big deal Wenger made in recent years.

One Sanchez and the other one Fabregas, two players' transfers have brought more than 70 million euros to Barcelona and reduced a large amount of salary expenditure, which has further alleviated the club's financial pressure.

But at the same time, Barcelona was frustrated in the competition for Chelsea central defender David Luis. Brazil's central defender transferred from Stamford Bridge to the Princes Park Stadium in Paris, France at a high price of 45 million euros, which also represents a frustration in Barcelona's plan to strengthen the defense.

The defensive line signings are not good, but the players leave the team frequently. Veteran Puyol announced his retirement. Alexander Song performed poorly in Barcelona and will be loaned back to the Premier League West Ham United in the new season, which makes Barcelona's defense still tight.

According to news from the Teronian media, 32-year-old goalkeeper Valdes is about to leave the team. Barcelona is urgently needed to introduce a strong goalkeeper. The first choice is Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Courtois, but he cannot reach an agreement with Chelsea on the transfer fee. The second choice is Bundesliga goalkeeper Ter Stegen.

Valdes faced a situation that is almost exactly the same as Casillas. Both goalkeepers are short in size and play at a high level with their reaction and flexibility when they are young. However, after they get older, their physical functions decline and they gradually cannot keep up with the team's needs.

Valdes hasn't left yet, Courtois may not be able to come, and Ter Stegen is still in the rumor, but Barcelona introduced Chilean goalkeeper Bravo from Real Sociedad for 12 million euros during the World Cup.

This is obviously also a transfer strategy, which is to tell all transfer negotiating opponents that after Bravo joins the team, Barcelona's demand for goalkeeper position will no longer be so urgent.

...

Real Madrid also adopted a strategy of being close to Barcelona in the goalkeeper's signing.

As soon as the World Cup ended, Real Madrid immediately announced that it would introduce Costa Rica goalkeeper Navas from Levante for a transfer fee of 10 million euros. This goalkeeper who shined in the World Cup will begin to compete for Real Madrid.

During the World Cup, Real Madrid quietly completed a contract renewal with Di Maria and transferred Herrera to the Premier League Manchester United for 40 million euros. The latter transfer once sparked speculation from the outside world that Real Madrid reached a consensus with Manchester United on De Gea's transfer, but the news was quickly overturned.

After the World Cup, he led the Netherlands to the quarterfinals. Van Gaal, who performed well, will officially step down as the head coach of the Dutch national team and serve as the head coach of Manchester United. After he took office, he immediately said that De Gea is a non-selling product of Manchester United, and no team can take De Gea away from Manchester United.

This firm statement undoubtedly cut off Real Madrid's hope of introducing De Gea. Bardano then went to Manchester in person to have a final contact with Manchester United, but the Red Devils did not start negotiations with Real Madrid from beginning to end.

Robben also successfully transferred to Bayern Munich during the World Cup and will form the devil's wings with Ribery in the new season.

In other words, during the World Cup, Real Madrid did not make any progress in signings except for introducing a Navas. Instead, they sold two players, Herrera and Robben, and substitute goalkeeper Diego Lopez, then transferred to AC Milan freely, which undoubtedly added to the outside world's concerns.

Especially when De Gea's transfer was set, many people were worried. Will Real Madrid suffer a blow in the transfer market?

...

Yang Yang had just returned from the World Cup and had not had time to rest well. All kinds of news in the transfer market rushed towards him like a tide, and his agent Raiola even came from European football to China in person.

This time, he did not just bring good news for Yang Yang.

"Espanyol is very interested in Wu Lei. I have already contacted him. As long as he agrees, Espanyol can immediately negotiate with Ajax and promise to give him the main position."

Yang Yang was very happy to hear this news and landed in La Liga. This is undoubtedly a further training for the young Wu Lei, which is also very beneficial to his long-term development in the future.

However, everyone could see that although Wu Lei was named Yang Yang II, he was not Yang Yang.

Yang Yang was Ajax's star back then, from Ajax to Liverpool, while Wu Lei transferred to Espanyol, but I believe that as long as Wu Lei continues to work hard and continues to improve his level, there will be a chance to go further.

"This time De Gea's transfer was setback, which is very unfavorable to Real Madrid, because the team's transfer operation focus throughout the summer was De Gea. Florentino ordered this goalkeeper, but Manchester United doesn't even talk to Real Madrid, and no one can do anything to him."

With De Gea's contract in his hand, Manchester United itself is not short of money, and Van Gaal is also a very strong coach. It is said that Ferguson also called the Manchester United management and asked to keep De Gea no matter what, which makes it increasingly difficult for Real Madrid to introduce this goalkeeper.

"Navas is positioned as a substitute. His problem is very similar to Casillas. He is twenty-seven years old and not young. Real Madrid is still making the final efforts for De Gea, but at the same time they are also preparing a second plan, which is Chelsea's Courtois. Of course, it really doesn't work in the end, so Casillas stays for another year."

This is indeed a very tangled situation, but there is no way.

Many times, in the transfer market, you can’t be willful if you have money.

What's more, Real Madrid has always been very careful when spending money.
