And Serie A champion Inter Milan is also looking for ways to strengthen, so as to achieve three consecutive Serie A championships in the new season!
They first brought in Van der Meyde from Ajax for €12 million.
Then asked about the price of Manchester City.
They hope to get Manchester City's left-back, Fabio Grosso.
They took a fancy to Grosso's offensive ability.
The 1.91-meter-tall full-back scored more than five goals and provided more than ten assists for Manchester City in all competitions last season!
One of Manchester City's best players last season.
Putting the talented German player Lahm on the bench, he couldn't even do anything.
After some haggling.
Moratti even called and started talking about feelings with Maxa.
Finally, Maxa said, Grosso, we will sell it to you for as much as we paid for it.
Moratti was almost crazy with joy!
Grosso's current market price is well over 15 million euros!
First of all, because he is an Italian player, he played in Serie A before, and then adapted to the Premier League.
Don't think it's easy.
Many players who were good in League A are not even good enough to be substitutes when they go to League B.
Being able to adapt to multiple leagues without distinction is also a talent in itself.
Secondly, Grosso is 26 years old this year, which is when a player enters his golden period of strength.
From now on, the next five years will be his peak period.
Buy him now and enjoy his best years.
This is the age when a player is most worth buying, and it should be more expensive.
Finally, his performance last season completely reached star level. And he has just been officially called up by the Italian national team and became the international football team.
Fifteen million euros is definitely not expensive, and maybe even 1,700 or 1,800 euros will be taken over by someone.
How could Manchester City sell it for just 2.5 million euros?
"Of course, the premise is that Inter Milan trades the other half of Adriano's ownership to Manchester City." Maxa can be said to have a clue.
This sound of abacus can be heard throughout Europe.
However, Moratti didn't hesitate for a second and agreed directly.
Because Adriano this season broke Inter Milan's fantasy.
When they sent Adriano to Manchester City, their valuation of Ade was 26 million euros.
But after one season in Manchester City, although Ade also scored goals and assists, he also showed a certain tactical effect and won two championships.
But... compared with many talented players, Adriano is indeed a bit "weak".
The main reason is that he did not show the improvement that people expected at the age when he should improve.
Such players are often young, and older is not necessarily better.
The most obvious one is the comparison between Adriano and Ribery.
Both of them were "scary" at first.
But starting in the middle of the league, Ribery gradually became the team's starting right winger, with a stable position and increasingly visible contributions.
And Adriano, due to the sudden emergence of Robbie Fowler, directly lost his "starting position in the cup".
Although they are still the starters in the league, everyone knows that Manchester City's real main battlefield last season was the English League Cup and FA Cup.
Therefore, Adriano is unsatisfactory in terms of progress and team status.
His net worth has shrunk to around 22 million.
This is still considering that Inter Milan will repurchase him.
If other leagues were to simply buy Ade, the price they would pay would be similar to Grosso, around 16 million.
The same thing happened to Adriano and Manchester City's Premier League starting goalkeeper Petr Cech.
But Cech's worth is not high to begin with.
The drop from 4 million euros to 1 million euros is not as big a shock as Adelaide's shrinkage of nearly half.
So the current average ownership value of Adriano is probably equivalent to... 8 million euros to 10 million euros.
Plus 2.5 million for Grosso.
Manchester City is equivalent to giving Inter Milan a 20% discount.
This friend is really interesting.
Last year's deal was not in vain.
In the end, the transaction went through smoothly.
"Inter Milan acquires Premier League attacking winger Grosso for 2.5 million euros!" 》
"Details of Grosso's transaction revealed!" Half ownership of Adriano + 2.5 million euros! 》
"This is a win-win deal! Manchester City used Grosso for free for a year, and Inter Milan got Grosso at a 20% discount! 》
"Manchester City should have made €15 million from this deal!" As a result, all the backhand is invested in Adriano, and it is very likely that everything will be lost! 》
"Man City invested a total of 20 million euros in order to get the complete Adriano!" But Adriano is obviously not worth the price! Unless he fully realizes his potential, Manchester City will barely make a loss! 》
"Man City finally has a negative grading transaction! Adriano becomes Marquesa's Waterloo? 》
People are talking about the deal between Grosso and Adriano.
And soon, Manchester City made noise again.
"Seaman's form declined significantly in the second half of last season! Arsenal's signing of goalkeeper is imminent! 》
"There are not many goalkeepers who meet Arsenal's recruitment requirements!" They need immediate strength, not potential goalkeepers! 》
"Considering the ages of Henry, Vieira, Pires, Ljungberg, Campbell and other players, Wenger can only buy powerful famous players! 》
"Wenger invites Deng Kai to dinner! The drunkard doesn't care about the wine, but between Lyman? 》
"Wenger finally played his cards right!" After Deng Kai nodded, Manchester City expressed its willingness to let go of the Lehmann deal! 》
"The love of a man and his concubine!" Hit it off immediately! Arsenal paid a whopping €10 million to acquire 33-year-old Manchester City goalkeeper Jens Lehmann! 》
"Sky Sports": "Manchester City has got money! They actually gave their best goalkeeper to one of their biggest competitors!"
"The Times": "Manchester City's deal is incomprehensible! Without Lehmann, can they count on Cech? Caballero is more reliable than Cech!"
"Manchester United": "Manchester United is very dissatisfied with Manchester City sending Lehmann to Arsenal! Ferguson bluntly said that this deal is a nonsense!"
Everyone thought Manchester City had done something stupid.
Being able to defeat Arsenal in the FA Cup final does not mean that Manchester City is completely better than Arsenal.
What's more, Lehmann's superb performance in the FA Cup is also very important.
He twice saved Henry's one-on-one shot.
As a result, Manchester City changed hands and gave Arsenal the last piece of the championship puzzle.
This is really...
Similarly, Wenger, who profited from the deal, praised Deng Kai's character afterwards: "Our deal with Manchester City is a purely commercial transaction, and this deal is a deal that both parties are satisfied with."
"Of course, I found Deng Kai and talked to him about this matter. But I hope he can see the win-win part of this deal."
"Except for Arsenal, no other team can give me a price of 10 million euros."
