Although there is no record, Manchester United has never lacked a sense of existence in the transfer market. Wretched operations such as big spending and price hikes have made Manchester United a "stirring stick" in the transfer market. But they are good at being attackers, and it seems that they have been used this time.
According to British media reports, Manchester United has dropped out of the race for Drigues, captain of the Dutch giants Ajax. The news came so suddenly that many fans thought it might be April Fool's Day, but referring to Manchester United's previous inertia, they couldn't help laughing because it was their normal operation.
Speaking of this popular fried chicken in European football, Manchester United and his story are actually earlier than Barcelona now. Last year, Mourinho, then head coach of Manchester United, attached great importance to Ajax's talent and sent scouts to inspect Ajax's club. According to the survey of Manchester United staff, the Drigues family has a tradition of getting fat, and Drigues is likely to suffer from hereditary obesity, which will affect the competitive state of Drigues. Finally, the transaction was interrupted.
Drigues, who stayed in Ajax, has been at his best this season. Players who meet a wave of players will start from the Champions League play-offs and finally reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. Ajax would have been the last game against Liverpool if it hadn't been for Tottenham Lucas Mora's magical performance.
How well did Ajax play this season? You can tell from their opponents. In the group match against Bayern, Real Madrid was eliminated in the eighth stage and Juventus was eliminated in the quarter stage. From being treated as a gift package to finally persuading and respecting all fans, Ajax's dark horse color once made people see Ajax galloping in Europe.
Ajax went all the way forward, and captain Drigues was the most reassuring presence on the team's defense. Although he is only 19 years old, his calmness, steadiness and ability to read competitions make people gasp in admiration for the birth of another Dutch genius. As the youngest captain in the Champions League semi-final, Drigues made himself famous while escorting Ajax all the way. Numerous big clubs sent a large number of people to attract them, the first one being Spanish giants Barcelona.
Because another boy of Ajax, Frankie De Jong, has been taken into consideration by Barcelona, Barcelona is eager to bring German player Drigues to Camp Nou to improve the defense of old Barcelona, and the player himself is eager to join Barcelona. However, as Ajax gets better and better, Driget's performance gets better and better. The addition of Bayern and Juventus complicates this seemingly unexpected transaction.
The competition of several giants has put pressure on Barcelona. Some time ago, the management of Barcelona was photographed by the media and flew to Amsterdam for negotiations. However, after seeing a large number of buyers, Drigues's agent suddenly asked for an increase in commission, transfer fee and player commission. Barcelona are worried that Drigues's super-high annual salary will become a hidden danger in Barcelona's dressing room, so they have a tug-of-war with Drigues's team.
It was such a tug of war that Manchester United saw the opportunity and they took advantage of it. British media reported that Manchester United generously promised Drigues's agent a commission and even gave Drigues a weekly salary of up to 300,000 pounds. Gemdry guy can't refuse such conditions.
Just when everyone thought that the deal between Drigues and Manchester United was going to be settled, British Sky Sports released a heavy news this weekend that Manchester United had withdrawn from the game in Drigues.
Within a week, the plot reversed twice, and the familiar scene actually confirmed the price increase attribute of Manchester United. I didn't buy it, just to raise the price. It is this hasty price increase that has not caused complaints from some clubs in recent years.
The club that suffered from Manchester United's price increase was Real Madrid first. Bell and Ramos, who were unhappy in Real Madrid recently, were raised by Manchester United. The former may be worth about 60 million euros at that time, but it was raised to 70 million euros by Manchester United. Finally, Real Madrid bought it from Tottenham Hotspur for more than 90 million euros. Ramos, the leader of Real Madrid's dressing room, was deadlocked with Real Madrid on the issue of renewing the contract, and it was Manchester United who raised the price from it that made Ramos get a high salary in renewing the contract with Real Madrid. In fact, Cross, who just finished the contract renewal with Real Madrid, was also overcharged by Manchester United when he came to Real Madrid from Bayern. But because of his emperor dream, Real Madrid didn't take money because of the price increase.
Real Madrid suffered a lot, but Bayern was not much better. When Gotze moved from Dortmund to Bayern, it was also because Manchester United raised the price by 30 million euros in the middle of the game that Bayern finally won Gotze for 37 million euros.
Manchester United's highest price is J Ronaldo. During his stay in Porto, J Ronaldo was not famous, but Manchester United wanted to buy the future star for 36 million yuan. In order to compete with Manchester United, Monaco spent 45 million to bring it to France.
Well, there are quite a few people raised by Manchester United in recent years. The transfer and renewal of Cesar Fabregas, Neymar, Muller and other stars have all been affected by Manchester United's price increase. But judging from the results, I really don't buy Manchester United. I just raised the price and left.
Of course, there are times when prices are raised, such as Sanchez in Manchester United now. At that time, Manchester City and Manchester United both wanted Sanchez. In this battle, Manchester United became the winner, but considering Sanchez's performance, it is obvious that Manchester City is the winner.
