In fact, when recommending Sana to Rangnick, Chu Zhongtian himself didn't know much about the current situation of this past opponent. In order to find out whether his recommendation was clear, he went back to find information, and then found out that Sana was still a very popular player this summer. At least from the news, there were many transfer rumors about him.

Rumor has it that Liverpool's Benitez is going to sell Alonso and buy Sana. For Benitez, Sana seems to be a player of the same style as Alonso... Then it is said that Arsenal's Wenger likes Sana very much and hopes that he can come to Arsenal to strengthen his waist. Since Vieira left, Arsenal has been missing a midfielder who can harden in the midfield. Fabregas is an excellent commander, but not hard enough. But Marseille chairman Dassier said that Wenger had his phone number, but never called. Arsenal wanted Sana's dream in daydream.

After Arsenal became cold, Everton strongly intervened in his attention to Sana. They allegedly offered 10 million euros and had received the approval of the Marseille club... But it has been half a month since then, and there has not been any news about the following article.

At the same time, Premier League clubs interested in Sana include Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland. From the current perspective, Sunderland seems to have the upper hand. It is rumored that Sunderland will be able to provide a contract with Sunderland soon.

In addition, if Hoffenheim really quotes Marseille, they are not the first Bundesliga team to be interested in Sana. Hamburg once quoted Marseille for 5 million euros at the end of June, but the following was gone.

It seems that this "killing machine" is quite popular... This shows that Sana is indeed a capable player, otherwise so many clubs would not have fallen in love with him. This discovery made Chu Zhongtian feel a little relieved. If the person he recommended was a very bad player, then while disappointing Rannick with Sana, he would probably be disappointed with his own vision.

Sana was happy that he was able to maintain a high standard.

※※※ Steve Bruce has a particularly bad temper today.

The negotiations between Sunderland and Marseille are coming to an end, and what both sides are talking about is no longer money. He believes that his team has been in contact with Marseille captain Sana in these two days. He is very optimistic about the Marseille captain. He believes that after Sana comes, he can quickly become the core main force of the team. Although the team has been relegated in the first two seasons, Bruce hopes that after Sana joins, the team can reach the top ten.

He had already made plans for the blueprint after Sana came to Sunderland. With Sana, Sunderland's midfielder could be hardened, and Marblanque (steed_malbranque), Andy Reid (andy_reid), Murphy (daryl_murphy) and others would have much less pressure in the midfield.

Unexpectedly, he received a call just as soon as he got up. On the other end of the phone, Sana's agent told him that Marseille had terminated the negotiations with Sunderland.

Bruce was shocked by the news. At first he thought he hadn't woken up, but he heard it wrong, or that Sana's agent was joking with him. So he quickly called Marseille's chairman Dassie.

Dassie told him clearly on the other end of the phone that the Marseille club decided to terminate the negotiations.

"Why is this? Didn't we talked well before?"

"Because you're asking for a low price, Steve," said Dasier.

"But you agree to the transfer fee of 6 million euros!" Bruce was full of fire before mentioning it. For the sake of the six million, both sides had been talking for half a month. In the end, Marseille saw that no other team was interested in Sana, so he had to agree.

"The situation has changed now, Steve. There is a club that offers a higher price than you..."

"Who? How much is the offer?" Bruce interrupted Dasier's words and questioned.

"I can't tell you this, Steve. Anyway, if you really want to get Lorik, just show some sincerity."

After saying that, Dasie hung up the phone.

"Damn!" Bruce was so angry that he cursed at the phone. "This group of greedy Frenchmen! I just knew that none of the Frenchmen were good things!"

He scolded Darcière here, and Darcière also scolded him there: "Damn it, an irrespectful British bastard... I called here at just about the time of the day..." He mumbled and lay down to continue sleeping.

After Bruce vented, he called Sana's agent and asked if he knew who the club that competed with Sunderland was.

"It's the Bundesliga champion, Hoffenheim." The agent replied.

"Ah?" Bruce was stunned for a moment. He was not familiar with this name. At least he could not be familiar with the club name and the "Bundesliga Champion".

"They...why should they compete with us?" Seeing that the guy who was bad at his good things finally revealed his identity, Bruce came without even calling him.

"They have money, Mr. Bruce." The agent was very calm. Anyway, going to Sunderland and going to Hoffenheim are the same for him. The key is not to look at the quotes they gave to the Marseille club, which he couldn't get a penny. The key is to look at which of these two clubs offered more attractive conditions for themselves and Sana.

"How much do they offer?" Bruce hoped to find out Hoffenheim's bid from here so that he could make targeted adjustments. If he didn't know the other party's offer, he would fall into a passive position.

"I don't know this either, Mr. Bruce, the old fox, didn't tell me, and he was very strict. Now the media outside the world also knows what Hoffenheim quotes to Marseille, but no one knows their quotes, they all guessed randomly."

"Hell..." Bruce cursed.

I don’t know how he will deal with the other party’s offer? Just quote a price and then look at Marseille’s reaction? If Marseille refuses, it means that he is not as high as his opponent. If Marseille agrees? It means that he is the same as his opponent, or even higher than his opponent... But how can he ensure that he will not be a sucker? What if Marseille refuses to pay more money even though he is the one who is clearly higher than his opponent, but Marseille refuses to pay more money?

Bruce is about to have a headache.

He really wants to get Sana. In his eyes, Lorik Sana was born for midfield defense, and his arrival can greatly enhance Sunderland's strength.

But Sunderland is not a rich club. Keane spent a lot of money when he was the head coach here, but he was relegated every year. Now Sunderland Club implements fiscal austerity policies. Before buying Darren Bent and Manchester United's young rookie Campbell had already spent nearly 16 million euros. Now buying Sana, it is not easy to take out the six million euros... If you want to add it, you have to go to the board of directors to sharpen your mouth with those stingy directors. When he thinks of the faces of those people, he has a headache.

※※※Bruce was unwilling to give up Sana, and he also knew that there was not much time. Since the other party was competing with him, the other party was likely to finalize the deal in a short time. He had to hurry up.

So he didn't bother to discuss with the board of directors and directly submitted an 8 million euro. After reporting, the stones sank to the sea.

He didn't know whether it was his second offer that was low, or whether Marseille deliberately concealed the real price and forced himself to pay higher money.

If he had money, he would pay ten million. But now, he couldn't afford so much money. If he really made so much offer, he would be rejected by the club's board of directors in the end. The board of directors could not understand it as a player who looked like a butcher's decision to pay ten million. They would think that Bruce was crazy, and then reject the deal, and then plotted to find excuses to open him.

He now remembered the answer he angrily asked Sana's agent why Hoffenheim competed with him.

"Because they have money, Mr. Bruce."

Because they have money... they have money... they have money... money... Bruce suddenly feels bored. If you have money, you can be so arrogant? The football world is not as rampant as you have money! Look at Manchester City! Hoffenheim bastards! Even if you are rich, you are rich enough to compete with your country. Don’t think of buying Ronaldo, buying Kaka, or buying Messi!

※※※Rangnick wouldn't know that far away in England, the head coach of a Premier League team was cursing them.

Marseille Club has notified Hoffenheim Club that it can negotiate a contract with Sana. So he entrusted Shindermaize to be fully responsible for the transfer negotiations and strive to sign a contract that satisfies both parties.

After winning Sana, Hoffenheim's main introductions this summer have all ended. If there are any further introductions, they will be targeting the young players in the future. The next transfer focus is to clean up the unnecessary players within the team. Now there are as many as 32 players in this Hoffenheim's first team. Although some players are temporarily drawn from the second team, there are too many. If Sana joins, there will be 33 players, and Hoffenheim must lose weight.

Although Gustavo has not many opportunities to play at Hoffenheim and is a bit too reckless, he is still very popular in other places.

If you want to sell, you should be able to sell it for a good price.

In addition, for young midfielder Steffen Haas, Hoffenheim's midfielder competition is too fierce and cannot be faced by him. So he also wants to leave. Currently, several low-level teams are very interested in him, and Offenbach has fired a quotation of 200,000 euros. If nothing unexpected happens, he should eventually join Offenbach, a team in the German regional league.

Christopher Yanker (christoph_janker) in the team's defender joined Hertha Berlin in a free transfer.

In addition, the nineteen-year-old right-back Jonas_strifler also transferred freely to Dynamo Dresden, which is also a German regional league, equivalent to the League C team.

In terms of cleaning up players, Hoffenheim is more generous than Real Madrid. Except for Demba Ba, who sold 14 million euros in the idea of ​​not being able to compete with his opponents at a cheap price, only Haas earned 250,000 yuan, and the rest were sold for free.

But this is also impossible. Hoffenheim has just risen and has achieved some results. However, most of the players in the team are in the second division, or even the amateur league. These people often cannot afford to sell at any price. It is better to leave people for free and win some reputation of "humanity".

Ibertberger finally found a team willing to accept him - the German second-tier team Cottbus. After being relegated last season, the lineup has changed a lot this season. Although Ibertberger can no longer play in Hoffenheim and cannot even play as a substitute. However, for a team like Kotberger who is determined to return to the A-level team, his experience and ability are still highly favored.

To this end, Cotbus is willing to pay 1.5 million euros.

Hoffenheim did not bargain for this price. Both clubs were fine, and the rest was Kotbus and Ibertsberger negotiated their own personal contracts.

Ibertsberger is also very satisfied with joining Kotbus. After all, this is a team that has just been relegated. The team that has just been relegated is basically a favorite to upgrade in the second division, and his treatment can also satisfy him.

So the two parties quickly signed a contract.

In this way, Ibertberger joined Cottbus for a transfer fee of 1.5 million euros and left Hoffenheim's training camp in Leogan, Austria. When he joined the team, he spent 250,000 euros. Now it has increased six times, and the increase is already considered high. With Hoffenheim winning the championship, the first-team players have basically increased their value to more or less.

Chu Zhongtian's net worth was already 30 million when he joined the team, so the increase was not high. And now he is an absolutely non-selling product for Hoffenheim. However, the market estimates Chu Zhongtian to at least exceed 50 million euros.

As for Ibissevic, Hoffenheim spent 10 million euros to buy him, and the actual expenditure was 6 million. The remaining four million agreed to wait until Ibissevic scored a total of 30 league goals in Hoffenheim before giving. If Ibissevic was not injured last season, the four million would probably have been given, but once Ibissevic was injured, the remaining four million would be left for the new season.

When there were rumors about Ibisevic's transfer, some media said that it was impossible to take Ibisevic away without paying 20 million. But Rangnick said that even if he pays 40 million, he would not be able to take him away.

In fact, Ibisevic's current net worth is only about 20 million. If he hadn't been injured last season, he had just recovered from injury and his net worth would have been higher.

When Sarihovic joined Hoffenheim, he had 200,000 euros. Now he has no 25 million euros. No one can take him away. Even if a team is willing to pay such a high price, Rangnick will not let him go. Sarihovic did not expect to leave Hoffenheim. After playing for three seasons at Hoffenheim, he has adapted to Hoffenheim's life and football. When he was struggling to find opportunities in Hertha Berlin, it was Hoffenheim who gave him new hope. Now he has achieved success and has always maintained a grateful heart to Hoffenheim. So last season, the news that Hertha Berlin and Bayern Munich were just interested in him was rejected by him. His contract did not expire until 2012, and he would not go anywhere before it expires.

※※※The negotiations between Lorik Sana's agent and Shindermaize were going well. Because Sana himself tends to join the Premier League and the Bundesliga, and in these two leagues, the advantage of the Bundesliga is that it is closer to his motherland and has similar living habits. Many Eastern European players in the Bundesliga will not feel unfamiliar with him here. He is closer to his family.

In addition, Hoffenheim is a Bundesliga champion team, participating in the UEFA Champions League next season, which is also very attractive. Marseille ranked second in Ligue 1 last season, and he also participated in the UEFA Champions League. He was not very happy to go to Sunderland. From a team that can participate in the UEFA Champions League to a relegation team, the gap is really too big... Now that Hoffenheim can also participate in the UEFA Champions League, that's great.

In terms of treatment, Hoffenheim is rich, so the contract he issued also satisfies Sana.

The two sides only had two days to discuss the details, and then Sana flew directly to Heidelberg for a physical examination. After the physical examination, he signed a contract with the team. Then he threw all the things like moving and finding a house in Sinsheim to his agent, bid farewell to his wife and children, and walked alone, flew to Leogan, Hoffenheim training camp.

When Sana arrived at the training camp, it was six o'clock in the afternoon and the team's training was about to end.

Rangnick met with him, everyone shook hands and greeted him, and then Rangnick asked Sana to watch the team's training outside, while he continued to direct the training himself.

Hoffenheim players also noticed the new teammates on the sidelines. They all turned their eyes to them. Sana, who was standing outside, had long hair and beard, and it did look very consistent with his legend - he was not the kind of gentle or shy person. Just looking at his outfit, you can tell what his temper and personality should be.

Everyone was secretly observing the new player. Sana was also observing his new teammates who were about to play for four seasons.

His eyes swept across the faces of Van Nistruid, Simunic, Hildebran, Kolarov, Sarihovic, Ibisevic and others, and finally frozen on Chu Zhongtian.

His opponent on the court was the first player to dare to fight him head-on and not lose his advantage.

Chu Zhongtian reached out to rush his teammate to ask for the ball on the court. After his teammate passed the football to him, he did not stop, but directly rubbed the football over the top, bypassed the opponent's defensive player, and then landed directly at the feet of Van Nistruei. After receiving the ball, the "King of Small Boundary Zone" did not lead forward, but directly shot. The football got under his armpit from Hildebran and entered the goal.

Fans outside the court cheered and applauded Van Nystruei. After scoring the goal, Van Nystruei pointed at Chu Zhongtian and thanked him for his assist.

It seems that this is the commander who once fought with him, who is now the commander who takes offense as his mission.

I am here to be his bodyguard.

Well... You can't be an opponent with such a person, and it seems good to be a teammate... ※※※ Bruce finally knew how much Hoffenheim spent to snatch Sana from him.

On the day Sana handed over to Hoffenheim's training camp in Leogan, Austria, the official websites of Hoffenheim and Marseille Club released the news at the same time:

"Lorik Sana transfers to Hoffenheim for 10 million euros."
Chapter completed!
