Chapter 625
Su Fei and Gao Yuanyuan enjoyed the rare off-season together, traveling around the country and enjoying the mountains and rivers.
On the other hand, with the coming of June, major clubs have officially started the transfer war in the summer of 2007.
On the evening of May 30, the first heavyweight transfer of this summer was born.
The Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich announced through their official website that they had acquired striker Luca Toni from Fiorentina for 11 million euros.
Luca Toni, 30 years old and 1.94 meters tall, is currently the main center of the Italian national team. In the two seasons of the Fiorentina club, he contributed 49 league goals.
In the total of 177 games played in Serie A, Luca Toni scored a total of 91 goals, making him the top center in Europe.
Luca Toni mentioned in the press conference held that night: "I love Serie A, but I also look forward to new challenges. After careful consideration, I chose to leave Italy and join Bayern. If I come back, I will choose a club in my hometown of Modena until I retire."
In addition to Luca Toni, Bayern Munich also signed four players earlier.
They are Hamit Altintop, midfielder of Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga, Jan Schlaudraf, forward of Aachen in the Bundesliga, Jose Ernesto Sosa, midfielder of Estudiantes de La Plata in the Argentinean League, and Marcel Janssen, defender of Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga.
Before June, Bayern Munich had signed 5 players. Everyone knows that Bayern Munich, which only ranked fourth in the Bundesliga last season and suffered a defeat in the Champions League, will usher in a wave of major changes in the new season.
......
There was more than one heavyweight transfer that night.
Premier League team Portsmouth also announced through its official website that it had signed Muntari from Serie A team Udinese for £7 million.
23-year-old Sulai Muntari, who is 1.79 meters tall, is the main defensive midfielder of the Ghana national team and one of the star defensive midfielders in Serie A today.
At the signing press conference, Portsmouth's new head coach Harry Redknapp mentioned: "The team has been actively communicating with Udinese about the deal for Muntari since the season before last. He performed well in the World Cup in Germany last year, with a strong body and excellent offensive awareness. He will become the team's core midfielder in the new season."
Portsmouth, which made significant progress in the 2006-07 season, obviously has a goal for next season that is not as simple as relegation.
Before signing Muntari tonight, they had already signed central defender Sylvain Distin, who terminated his contract with Manchester City and became a free man, and Charlton's Herman Hredason yesterday.
......
Also tonight.
Newcastle United announced that they had officially sent off midfielder Scott Parker and acquired their midfielder Joey Barton from Manchester City for £5.5 million.
According to relevant news, Joey Barton's weekly salary at Newcastle will reach £70,000, which is the salary level of top stars in the entire Premier League.
"Obviously, Joey Barton's level is definitely not up to the level of the top midfielders in the Premier League, but he has won five championships with Manchester City in the past two seasons, which has increased his value. However, we still wish this former Manchester City player to show more potential in Newcastle." - Manchester Evening News

At the same time, Su Fei, who was traveling in Sichuan and Chongqing, received a call from Sun Jihai.
"Xiao Su! Have you seen the news? Distin and Barton are gone. Distin left on his own, and Barton... was sent away by Guardiola."
"Yeah, I saw it."
"I have a feeling that this is just the beginning. Guardiola will continue to send more people away and sign more new teammates."
Su Fei felt the anxiety on the other end of the phone, knowing that Lao Sun was worried that he would become the next Barton.
And Lao Sun's next words also verified Su Fei's guess.
"My contract has one more season, and the team has not yet discussed the renewal with me..."
"Don't worry, Brother Sun. You will stay here as long as I am in Manchester City."
"Xiao Su~"
"Stop, Brother Sun! Don't try to be sentimental, I'm hanging up first, just rest assured and enjoy your vacation with your sister-in-law and Feifei."
Su Fei hung up the phone and kissed Gao Yuanyuan who was still sleeping.I got up and went to the balcony.
I made an international call.
"Coach, it's me, Su..."
"Yeah..."
"I'm calling you mainly to ask you something..."
.............................................................
Manchester, coach's office.
Guardiola hung up the phone and couldn't help but take out the small note that Stuart gave him.
He read the name on it several times.
Just now.
Su Fei asked me about the personnel changes during the offseason, and also emphasized several teammates who wanted to continue fighting together.
For this call.
Guardiola was not surprised.
Because after Bernstein told me the secret about Manchester City's signings, I knew that Su Fei was very involved in the team's personnel transfer.
And the note in my hand.
It was sent to me by Stuart from Italy yesterday, and the two also talked on the phone today.
Although Stuart emphasized that this was his previous recruitment plan, Guardiola, who knew the secret in advance.
Knowing that behind this note, it must be Su Fei's intention.
Combined with the phone call just now.
Guardiola felt that Su Fei was not like a player, but more like a hidden manager of Manchester City.
The key is.
After his own investigation and research, Su Fei found that the players on the list given by Quan Zhen are young players with great potential.
Not only have potential but also combat effectiveness.
And there are multiple names in each position.
This simply saved him at least three months.
This feeling.
It made Guardiola feel terrified.
It turns out that behind Manchester City's two successful seasons, Su Fei not only has an influence on the court, but also has more influence outside the court.
"No wonder the team management directly rejected the proposal of Real Madrid to trade Su for 100 million a few days ago."
"They didn't even want to come to the table to talk."
"How could the value that Su can bring to Manchester City be just 100 million?"
Guardiola sighed in his office.
"As long as there is Su in the club."
"Not only does it have a superstar on the court who can influence the game by himself. It can also easily form a super galactic battleship with unlimited potential."
"Monster..."
"A real monster..."
After sighing, Guardiola continued his work.
Two team rotations have just been sold these days. Next, Manchester City will start recruiting as soon as possible.
As for the list.
Of course, it is unconditionally in accordance with Su Fei's little note.
