The 2016 Copa America began to ignite the beacon in early June!

The opening game was at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, USA, with the hosts of the United States vs. Colombia.

Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez played in this game and performed well, and scored a penalty in the 42nd minute, helping Colombia beat the United States 2-0.

Three days later, in the second game of the group stage, James Rodriguez once again performed bravely, one pass and one shot, helping Colombia defeat Paraguay 2-1, and qualify in the group ahead of schedule with two consecutive victories.

In the third round of the group stage, James Rodriguez did not, Colombia played as a substitute, and eventually lost to Costa Rica 2-3, and finally advanced to the quarterfinals as the second in the group.

...

On June 17, the quarterfinals of the Americas Cup.

In the 22nd minute, Murillo made a straight pass from the back, Cardona made a cross from the left rib, James Rodriguez broke into the top of the penalty area, and shot a curve ball with his right foot, straight into the lower right corner of the goal.

This is also the only goal in Colombia's entire game.

In the end, with Jamele Rodriguez's outstanding performance, Colombia defeated Peru 1-0 and advanced to the semi-finals.

...

Four days later, the Copa America semi-finals were held in Chicago, and Colombia encountered Chile.

James Rodriguez's outstanding performance did not bring good luck to Colombia. The team conceded two goals in ten minutes of the game. In the 57th minute, midfielder Carlos Sanchez accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off by a red card.

Afterwards, no matter how tenacious Colombia was, it was unable to compete with Chile and finally stopped in the semi-finals.

...

With the outstanding performance in the Copa America, Jamese Rodriguez has also become a hot spot in the European transfer market.

What is even more surprising is that during the Copa America, Jamese Rodriguez listed the luxury house in Madrid for sale, which made everyone see his idea of ​​leaving Madrid.

It is obvious that the Colombian midfielder is no longer satisfied with the rotation role of Real Madrid. He is eager to go to other teams to prove his strength and value, and Manchester United is undoubtedly the one who is closest to James Rodriguez.

James Rodriguez's agent is Mendes, and Manchester United's new coach Mourinho's agent is also Mendes. Manchester United CEO Woodward has a very good relationship with Mendes, which makes everyone believe that James Rodriguez's next stop is likely to be Manchester United.

In addition to Manchester United, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are also determined to win against Jameel Rodriguez.

Guardiola replaced Pellegrini to coach Manchester City. He needed to introduce several players who fit his tactical style, including James Rodriguez. And with the Colombian midfielder shining in the Copa America, Manchester City has a stronger interest in him.

Paris Saint-Germain also wants to get Jamele Rodriguez, but Colombian midfielder resists playing in Ligue 1. After all, he comes from Monaco in Ligue 1. Now he hopes to go to the Premier League and go to a broader platform to prove his strength and value.

But if the transfer to the Premier League fails, it is not ruled out that he will return to Ligue 1 and join Paris Saint-Germain.

...

Real Madrid remained silent on James Rodriguez's transfer, but the team quickly passed a contract renewal, locking in De Bruyne's future in Real Madrid in advance.

With the recommendation of Yang Yang, Real Madrid officially launched a contract renewal for De Bruyne, and the Belgian midfielder was determined to prove himself under Real Madrid. He was confident that he would get more opportunities for the game in competition with world-class midfielders such as Tony Cross and Modric, so he signed a five-year long-term contract with Real Madrid.

In addition to De Bruyne, Casemiro, who performed well last season, officially renewed his contract with the club.

This Brazilian player who replaced Mascherano and became the team's main midfielder can be said to be Real Madrid's biggest discovery last season. Now he is highly expected by the team, and renewal is also imperative.

The successor to the appointment with De Bruyne and Casemiro means that Real Madrid's transfer operation this summer is still mainly focused on consolidating its own strength and tapping its internal potential.

But in mid-June, in the early stages of the European Cup, Real Madrid officially announced that they had signed French midfielder Ngolo Kante from Leicester City at a high price of 40 million euros. Leicester City also officially announced the transfer.

Kanter's joining has improved and consolidated Real Madrid's midfield. Everyone clearly sees that Real Madrid will still be extremely strong in the new season, because the midfielder will have two tiger players, Casemiro and Kante, plus David Silva, Modric, Tony Cross and De Bruyne, and Real Madrid is still strong.

In addition to Kante, Real Madrid also officially announced that it had recalled center Morata from Juventus and local young player Asensio from Espanyol. Both players have performed very well in the past two seasons and their strength has been recognized by Real Madrid.

After announcing Morata's return, Real Madrid also announced that they would sell Hesse to Paris Saint-Germain, for which the Ligue 1 team paid a transfer fee of 25 million euros. Hesse was also satisfied with a generous contract, eager to get back to form at Paris Saint-Germain.

After Kante joined, Mascherano also transferred to Juventus for 20 million euros.

After a series of operations, Real Madrid finally completed the transformation of the midfield midfield midfield position. Everyone firmly believed that under the support of Casemiro and Kante, Real Madrid's midfield position is still solid and will even be better than last season.

However, there are gains and losses.

After Real Madrid announced the signing of Kanter, Pogba finally couldn't bear Manchester United's hard pursuit. In the end, he broke the new transfer record of 100 million euros in the sky-high price of 105 million euros created by Yang Yang in 2009, successfully returned to the Premier League and joined Manchester United.

This transfer also shocked the entire transfer market.

After Manchester United signed Pogba, as a city opponent, Manchester City was also not idle.

The wealthy Abu Dhabi consortium is never ruthless in equipting new coach Guardiola. First, he introduced English central defender Stones from Everton at a sky-high price of 55.6 million euros, and then signed young winger Sane from Schalke Zero 4 at a high price of 50 million euros.

The two transfer deals cost Manchester City more than 100 million euros in total, which is enough to offset the shock brought by Pogba's return to Manchester United.

Not only that, Manchester City quickly took action again, successfully snatching Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez from Paris Saint-Germain at a sky-high price of 80 million euros.

After Pogba transferred to Manchester United and De Bruyne renewed his contract with Real Madrid, James Rodriguez became a hot spot in the transfer market. The 80 million euro transfer fee also proved his value, which is the same price as when Real Madrid introduced him two years ago.

After selling Pogba, Juventus quickly signed Argentine striker Higuain for a sky-high price of 90 million euros, which set the most expensive transfer signing in Juventus club's history and also set a record for the highest Serie A history.

...

The transfer market is surging.

While Real Madrid signed Kante, Morata and Asensio, they successively sold Mascherano, Hesse and James Rodriguez, their number one rival Barcelona are also intensively signing.

The continuous gains of nothing have doubled the pressure on Barcelona's management.

After Guardiola took office as Manchester City, he was the first to start from his old club Barcelona and poached Chilean goalkeeper Bravo who performed well in the Copa America, which made Barcelona's goalkeeper position vacant.

Barcelona also learned lessons this summer and strengthened the midfield and backcourt signings. First, they introduced Umtiti from Lyon for a transfer fee of 25 million, then they introduced Digne from Paris Saint-Germain for 16.5 million euros, Andre Gomez from Valencia for 35 million euros, and Paco for 30 million euros.

Barcelona has invested a lot in the transfer market.

After Bravo switched to Manchester City, Barcelona quickly targeted Ajax and poached Ajax's main goalkeeper Silaisen with a transfer fee of 13 million euros. He is also the Netherlands' goalkeeper.

Ajax was unable to resist the poaching from Barcelona. After selling Cilesen, Van Gaal did not intend to sign up as goalkeeper, but followed Van der Sar's advice and vigorously promoted the youth team young player Onana.

The black goalkeeper from Cameroon came from Etoo Football School in Cameroon. In 1010, he came to La Macia with Etoo's recommendation, but he failed to receive attention. He switched to Ajax in 2015. He has been trained under Van der Sar's words and deeds over the past year. Ajax is very optimistic about him.

After sending Cilesen away, Ajax spent 10 million euros to introduce Brazilian young player Neres from Sao Paulo. The 19-year-old young player performed well in Brazil, and Ajax was very optimistic about him.

In addition to Onana and Nerez, Ajax's youthfulness continues, focusing on promoting a group of young players including Cruivet, Frenki De Jong, Van der Beck, Dorbery and Dricht into the first team, greatly enriching the first team's lineup. Pete Boss will increase the training and reuse of young players in the new season.

But unfortunately, despite Ajax's kindness to keep him, Bazor finally chose to leave the team.

In the end, the most optimistic midfielder in Ajax in the Netherlands transferred to Manchester City in the Premier League, and the club received two million euros, plus the English local talent rookie Jaden Sancho.

The transfer has been in contact since the end of May. Jaden Sancho originally refused to join Ajax. He hoped to stay in Manchester City and play for Guardiola. However, after signing the young Sane at a sky-high price of 50 million euros, Sancho knew his position at Manchester City. When he could not transfer to other Premier League teams, he chose to accept Ajax's kind invitation.

The condition is that Ajax promises to give him a main position.

After signing Neres and Sancho, Pete Boss sent Gazi he was not optimistic about to Ligue 1, and Ajax received 6.5 million euros in transfer fees.
