Title: Done! Manchester City's First Winter Window Signing
Content:
On January 10th, Beijing time, Brazilian media UOL reported that Manchester City has agreed to a total price of 45 million euros to sign Res, and the deal has been completely finalized.
The action is really fast. It took only 24 hours from the first media report chasing Res for Manchester City to finalize the deal.
Fans who don't pay attention to young players will definitely be unfamiliar with Res. The 18-year-old currently plays for Palmeiras and is one of the best central defender prospects in Brazil's 2006 class.
European giants have been paying attention for a long time. Last summer, Brighton made an official offer, and Liverpool also had contact. At that time, Palmeiras valued Res at 30.1 million euros, and the Seagulls were rejected because their offer did not reach this figure. Liverpool also had no further news as they were unwilling to gamble on an 18-year-old player.
Yesterday, it was just revealed that Manchester City was pursuing Res, and they submitted their first offer of 40 million euros within 2 hours.
After 24 hours of negotiation, both sides reached an agreement on a total price of 45 million euros, which also includes many additional clauses.
The entire transaction process is smooth and powerful.
There are no problems with the price, but there are still differences in when to release the player.
Palmeiras wants to use Res to play in the Club World Cup and wants to release him after the end of the Club World Cup.
Manchester City is unhappy. Signing Res is to rebuild the defense and avoid the problem of the "household registration book."
On the one hand, coming early helps with integration and is also beneficial for the overall defensive cleaning and restructuring.
On the other hand, if he comes after the Club World Cup ends, it won't be enough for three years of household registration book time.
However, in the end, there is no big problem, and Palmeiras will definitely give in.
On the same day, German Sky Sports reported that Malmoosh has reached a personal agreement with Manchester City, and the former has submitted an application to leave Frankfurt.
French media Foot Mercato's chief reporter Santi Aouna also reported that Manchester City is willing to meet Frankfurt's transfer fee demand of 80 million euros.
This deal went from contacting the player to agreeing on the fee in just 3 days, still smooth and powerful.
Indeed, Frankfurt is advancing on two fronts in the league and European competitions, and the Champions League qualification is worth tens of millions of euros, but these are all uncertain things.
There are still half a season left, who knows what will happen, and whether they can maintain their performance.
Selling the star player Malmoosh is a tangible income into the pocket.
Manchester City is also generous. The media's expected starting price of 50 million was not even considered, directly starting at 70 million and meeting the 80 million demand.
Adding 30 million, it's a huge profit.
Res and Malmoosh are basically settled, are the fans happy? It's not over yet.
On January 11th, Beijing time, famous journalist Romano confirmed that Manchester City signed Husanov with an initial transfer fee of 40 million plus variables.
Before this, Husanov's personal contract had already been agreed upon.
Lens demanded 40 million euros for Husanov, and this time it was still smooth and powerful.
A 50 million euro instant kill, breaking Lens' record for selling a player (Opanda, 44 million euros).
Of course, it includes variable clauses, but this price is also very scary, considering that the media's estimated starting price was only 25 million.
In just one night, three deals were made, spending a whopping 180 million.
It reminds the editor of the news a few months ago that the "Daily Mail" revealed that Manchester City had prepared 300 million pounds for Guardiola's successor to spend extravagantly.
