This may be because they have money but no place to spend it. As a wealthy team in the Premier League, Manchester City has been in a complete mess during the transfer window this summer. Look at how many big-name stars Paris has waived. , Messi’s signing even took only three days to complete. Look at Manchester City. After a summer and spending 100 million pounds, they let go of two big-name stars.
Due to special reasons, many clubs have a certain financial deficit, so this summer's transfer window is a bit dull. Only those teams with foreign investment, such as Manchester City and Paris, with deep pockets, are in the transfer window. There are many big moves in the market, but Paris does not have money to spend at will. They are also considering costs and benefits. In this regard, Paris seems to have a more say.
As far as Messi’s transfer is concerned, why he can earn a lot of money is partly due to Messi’s influence. No player has ever made such a big splash in the transfer market. . And after joining Paris, the income created for Paris is enough to match Messi's annual salary. Was this a prescient move by Paris? No, Paris is only interested in Messi, because money is not a problem at all for Paris.
Manchester City can also use money to sign any player they want, but it must be done in moderation. This summer, Manchester City did not make many moves, but a signing is a big purchase, but it also requires a purchase. What do you mean by signing a Grealish who is a good value for money, or a big-name player who can enhance Manchester City's influence and strength. It is because of Grealish's signing that Manchester City indirectly lost two big-name stars.
Grealish and Messi
First of all, the joining of Grealish does make Manchester City very passive in signing Messi. If Guardiola has never wanted Messi Messi joining Manchester City is another matter, but if Guardiola misses Messi because of signing Grealish, this is the worst decision Manchester City has made this summer.
Why did Manchester City sign Grealish so quickly? You must know that Grealish’s worth is only in the range of 35 million pounds to 50 million pounds. Manchester City actually spent 100 million pounds to buy Grealish. Of course Villa I happily agreed, this is definitely a profitable deal for Aston Villa.
Soon after, Grealish joined Manchester City, but then Barcelona suddenly announced that Messi could not renew his contract. This really caught Manchester City off guard. Even if the Manchester City boss intended to sign Messi, he still had time to draft a contract. . After all, Grealish's transfer has just been completed, and there are still many details. There is also the question of whether Messi is still needed when Grealish comes to Manchester City. This misses the initiative to sign Messi. Paris is full of sincerity and has drafted the contract in advance, waiting for Messi to leave the team. In this way, Manchester City missed out on Messi's joining because of Grealish's joining.
Grealish and Manchester City
After losing Messi, Grealish’s performance in Manchester City games was not very good. Indeed, Manchester City fans need to give him opportunities and time, then Manchester City seems to be worried about losing Messi. Seeing the income and influence Messi has brought to Paris after joining Paris, any club that has the ability to sign Messi will be envious.
However, for the sake of face, Manchester City may have to go all the way in signing Kane. Manchester City must still retain the initiative to win the championship in the new season. Grealish obviously cannot satisfy Manchester City's needs. Require. So Manchester City paid 115 million pounds for Kane.
For Tottenham, Kane is not for sale. Once Kane leaves, Tottenham will completely become a mid-range team in the Premier League. Therefore, the Tottenham boss still prefers Kane to stay on the team, while Kane prefers to leave the team. This gives Manchester City an opportunity to negotiate with Tottenham.
However, Manchester City’s offer is slightly less sincere. You must know that Grealish spent 100 million pounds to introduce Kane. As a superstar in today’s football, 115 million pounds is, for the Tottenham boss, , which is an insult to Kane. Therefore, the Tottenham boss directly rejected Manchester City's offer.
Although Manchester City later raised its offer, the Tottenham boss was a little angry about Manchester City's previous offer. Subsequently, Kane announced that he would stay on the team, ending the farce.
Summary
As far as Manchester City is concerned, Grealish joined Manchester City at the wrong time. Perhaps it was Guardiola’s personal doing, because he did not want Messi to join, but The introduction of 100 million pounds directly disrupted the transfer market. Kane's subsequent move to Manchester City also became a difficulty. With Kane announcing that he would stay with the team, the farce ended. In this summer's transfer market, it can be said that Manchester City The game was a complete mess, with Grealish causing Manchester City to miss out on two major stars.
