The first-class midfielder has officially announced the signing, what other "trees" can fans go on?
Reporter Hanbing reported that the Saudi League suddenly entered the game with the amount of capital, which disrupted the situation of the entire summer market. Coincidentally, the Saudi league grabs people, and the midfield is also the focus.
Originally, Kante was almost certain to join Barca on a free agent, but finally chose Saudi Arabia, which has an annual salary of tens of millions of euros. What is even more shocking is that Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves, who was the focus of the Premier League six last year, chose to receive a high salary in the Saudi League at the age of 26 in the prime of his career, and also set a record for transfer fees in West Asia by the way.
After this wave of first-class midfielders are looted, what other top midfielders are available for the big clubs and the Saudi league to choose from?
The reinforcement of the midfield by the Premier League Seven has basically come to an end, but there are still some places. Manchester City switched to Celta midfielder Vega after withdrawing their rivalry against Bellingham and Rice. The 21-year-old Spanish midfielder has a €40 million release clause in his contract, with Liverpool and Chelsea being Manchester City's main contenders. Liverpool are also looking to test signing Valverde from Real Madrid for an offer of more than 80 million euros. Although it was extremely difficult, Kloopp was willing to give it a try. Of course, Valverde is currently a non-sale for Real Madrid. Bellingham joined, Brahim returned, Modric and Ceballos renewed their contracts, Real Madrid has 8 players in 3 positions in midfield, and there is indeed the possibility of cutting players.
After Manchester United signed Mason Mount, they did not have the budget to sign the second player worth more than 50 million euros. However, Moroccan midfielder Amraba and Benfica's 18-year-old midfielder João Neves, who is worth 10 million euros but will not pay less than 40 million euros, still want to sign Fiorentina. Arsenal have also picked up another Benfica midfielder, F. Ruiz, but the latter has a whopping €120 million in liquidated damages, making it impossible to invest hundreds of millions of euros in the 23-year-old Portuguese midfielder after Arsenal have signed Kai Havertz and Rice. Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United are also competing for Dutch midfielder Simmons, who is also worth around €40 million.
Another potential top midfielder is Manchester City's B seat, with the Saudi league always looking to sign the champion midfielder. While Manchester City certainly won't let people go easily, the Saudi league doesn't lack money. Whether he can convince the B seat is the core element of the transfer, in Saudi Arabia he can work with Portuguese national team teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Neves, and can also get several times higher annual salary than Manchester City. In addition, Grand Paris' Verratti also received an offer from Saudi Arabia, and although Grand Paris will not agree to a transfer fee of less than 80 million euros, like the B seat, the decisive factor preventing Verratti's transfer to the Saudi league is only himself.
