These signings all cost money, and Mourinho's relationship with club owner Abu and manager Emnaro is now very stalemate. The transfer funds he can get may not be sufficient, if he doesn't sell people,

, there may not be money to buy the players he likes.

...

After finishing the game with Liverpool, the next day, Manchester City continued to face the challenge of Crystal Palace at home.

With Lin Quan's goal in the 76th minute of the second half, Manchester City defeated his opponent with a difficult victory.

After winning this victory, Manchester City won the Premier League half-time championship this season with a 9-point lead.

After 19 rounds of battle, their scores were 16 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses, and 51 points.

This result set a record in Manchester City's history, but unfortunately, they fell behind Chelsea in the 2005-06 season by 1 point and failed to break the Premier League half-time record.

The Chelsea team in Mu's first period created a terrible record of 17 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the Premier League, which is the team with the highest score in the half-time Premier League so far.

Chelsea also won the Premier League championship that season with a huge lead.

With Chelsea’s successful examples, after winning this half-time championship, Blue Moon fans can breathe a little relieved.

They are currently 9 points ahead of Arsenal, who is second-placed, and this advantage is still very big.

Judging from the characteristics of Arsenal's habitual collapse in the later stage of the season, as long as Manchester City does not collapse more effectively, the possibility of winning the league championship is very high.

But for Manchester City, they are not without hidden worries.

Although I won the game, Manchester City's condition is still bad.

Neither team was able to score in the first half, which was very rare at Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City's offense has indeed had problems, which has generally made Blue Moon fans worried.

Chelsea has suffered from the powerlessness of the striker, and its record this season has declined greatly, and its league points are almost caught up by Everton.

If Manchester City follows Chelsea's footsteps, it will be hard to say in the second half of the season.

It is precisely because of this that Manchester City's determination to sign ups during the winter break has become even greater.

On January 1, 2014, the transfer window for the winter break of the five major leagues officially opened.

The major teams that had already locked in their respective recruitment targets waved their checks and quoted the targets they liked.

The first move was Manchester City's neighbor Manchester United. After the transfer window opened, the Red Devils immediately offered Chelsea a price of 30 million pounds, hoping to introduce the opponent's midfielder Mata.

Like De Bruyne, Mata is not the kind of player Mourinho likes.

After Mourinho returned to Chelsea, Mata's appearances and scoring efficiency both declined significantly.

This season, he has only played 14 games for Chelsea, including 10 league games, 2 league cup games and 2 European Cup games.

Mata scored only 1 goal in these 14 games, but it was scored in a low-level match like the League Cup.

Compared with his phenomenal performance and absolute core position in Chelsea in the previous seasons, Mata's current performance and position in the team have declined very seriously.

Unable to obtain the guarantee of absolute main position and playing time, Espanyol gradually became interested in leaving.

In order to participate in the World Cup, Mata was unwilling to sit on the bench at Stamford Bridge again, so he expressed his idea of ​​leaving.

After Scholes retires, the Red Devils and Manchester United really needs a top midfielder. Mata's trip to Manchester United seems to be a good result for both sides.

Mourinho did not speak out to keep Mata, but instead club manager Emnaro had some contact with Mata at the instruction of Abu.

After all, Mata is also an important contributor to help the Blues win the Champions League. Abu has feelings for such an old player.

However, Mata's intention to leave was decided, and Emnaro's retention was not successful.

So, after a bargaining with Manchester United, the two teams finally reached an agreement for £37 million, and Mata officially left the Blues and joined the Red Devils.

This transfer is reasonable, but it is still surprising.

Mata has always been Chelsea's thighs and true core for several seasons. Unexpectedly, after Mourinho's return, he was quickly abandoned. It was indeed a emperor and a minister!

The transfer between Chelsea and Manchester United made Lin Quan and De Bruy feel a little worried.

With Mata missing, Chelsea's competition in the midfield seems to be less intense.

Maybe De Bruyne can get a chance to play?

Will this affect De Bruyne's transfer?

"Uh, do you think Chelsea will let you go now?"

De Bruyne wasn't sure: "I don't know, it shouldn't be an impact, right? There are Oscars, William and Hazards in the team!"

Oscar and Hazard are players Mourinho like very much. Hazard is regarded as his own Messi by Mourinho, and he wishes he would play every game.

Oscars are also highly valued, and their appearance order is even ahead of Mata.

After that, Mata, William, Moses and others were then able to get De Bruyne's turn.

So after walking a Mata, the impact on De Bruyne was not that big.

Just as the two were discussing the transfer issue of De Bruyne, according to Real Madrid's mouthpiece Ass, Premier League tycoon Manchester City made an offer to Real Madrid for 45 million euros, hoping to introduce Real Madrid's midfield star Modric.

If Real Madrid accepts this offer, the transfer will become the highest transfer in the winter break.

However, facing Manchester City's offer, Real Madrid refused without thinking.

Manchester City did not give up. They continued to raise their offer and once again launched an impact on Modric at a price of 50 million and an annual salary of 7 million euros.

This price is exactly the same as the transfer fee for Ozil to join Arsenal. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in Ozil's transfer, Real Madrid slaughtered Arsenal.

With Ozil's current performance in the Premier League, he is not worth the 50 million at all, and 35 million is almost the same.

Modric has not been joining Real Madrid for a long time. Although he has already shown his slightest style of a general in the game, considering that his price when he joined Real Madrid was only 35 million euros, for a midfielder, one and a half

The value of the season has increased by 15 million euros, which is quite exaggerated.

In addition, the annual salary offered by Manchester City is too high, and they are worried that the players themselves will not be able to withstand the temptation and are abducted by Manchester City.

Therefore, facing Manchester City's offer, Real Madrid began to hesitate.

Do you want to make this money?

"We can't let Modric go. We finally stabilized the framework of the main lineup. Now is the time to make efforts to win the championship. At this time, let him go. Do you still want the league champion? Do you still want the Champions League champion?

Want it?"

Ancelotti expressed strong opposition to the transfer. As a coach, he naturally did not want to see the tactical system he had finally built collapsed due to the lack of a player.

Real Madrid currently has very good results in the league and Champions League. After spending huge amounts of money to introduce Bale, their purpose is to the Champions League trophy.

At this time, naturally, we can’t sell the team’s midfield core just because we are greedy for this little money!

So, Florentino made a decision: "Reject Manchester City's offer, and in addition, inform Modric's agent that we need to re-sign a contract with them, and the club will give Modric a salary increase!"

Modric's annual salary is 4.5 million euros after tax, and the price offered by Manchester City is half higher.

Real Madrid can refuse Manchester City's offer, but they cannot just refuse the offer without any expression. At this time, not only should they use the main position and emotional cards to retain the players, but they also have to give them a raise. In this way, the players will not be dissatisfied with the club.

.

Real Madrid plans to offer Modric an annual salary of 6 million, which is the second place in the team, and is the same level as Casillas and Ramos, second only to Ronaldo and Bale.

Modric has only been joining the team for more than a year, and the club has raised his salary. I wonder if other players will have any ideas when they hear the news, and will they also ask for a salary increase?

When Florentillo thought of this, he felt a little headache.

Damn Manchester City, why do you have to offer Modric?

One quotation caused our salary system to collapse!

Damn oil guy!

Real Madrid's refusal was expected by Manchester City. They were not discouraged, but immediately shifted their target and placed it on Bayern's midfielder Kroos.

On January 4, according to the Munich Daily, Manchester City offered Bayern for 35 million euros, hoping to take Kroos away.

Now, it was Guardiola's turn to have a headache!
