"So, what does the club mean?"

"10 million pounds," Cook said.

Hearing this amount, Mark Hughes felt relieved. Although £10 million was less than West Ham United's previous request, it seemed to be much less, it should be within the acceptable range of West Ham United. Now Bellamy is West Ham United thinking of taking it off as soon as possible. The market valuation is only 8 million pounds, and £10 million is a pretty good offer.

At this moment, the club chairman Alfaim, who had not spoken, spoke, "Mr. Hughes, there is another thing, that is, the club decided to sign a contract with Brazilian player Ronaldo..."

Mark Hughes was stunned, and then his anger came up in his chest.

Why did the club chairman raise this matter? It must be that Zhang Yang asked the club's senior management to introduce Ronaldo without telling him!

This made Mark Hughes feel that his authority as a head coach was challenged.

"Ronaldo has been injured all the time. If you buy him, the help to the team is really limited." Mark Hughes said.

"We have also considered this issue. Ronaldo is injured now, and his competitive value has declined. This is an indisputable fact. However, we also need to see another point, that is, Ronaldo's influence and commercial value." At this time, Cook spoke, and he knew that this was the time for him to speak.

Mark Hughes didn't speak, he listened silently.

"As the best scorer in the past decade, Ronaldo has many fans around the world, and his influence is immeasurable," Cook said. "If Manchester City can introduce Ronaldo, then the club will take a new level in terms of influence. Even if Ronaldo only plays for Manchester City for one minute, it will benefit Manchester City."

After receiving a call from Zhang Yang that Ronaldo intends to transfer to Manchester City, Cook immediately communicated with club chairman Alfaim. The two agreed that this was an opportunity.

Although the two of them didn't believe that Ronaldo's injury would be controlled and his competitive level would be good, they were both businessmen and knew that Ronaldo's arrival in Manchester City would have a huge impact on Manchester City.

In addition, there is another point, that is, an agreement has been reached between Ronaldo and AC Milan, that is, Ronaldo can transfer freely!

Manchester City can get Ronaldo without spending a penny.

The club's big moves in the transfer market have always been criticized. If they can get Ronaldo without spending money, it will be a turnaround, right?

After hearing what the club general manager said, Mark Hughes knew that he was powerless to stop Ronaldo's joining.

Fortunately, the club also agreed to Bellamy's joining, which made Mark Hughes worry much less about the configuration on the front line, which can be regarded as meeting the basic requirements.

He could only nod and agree, saying that he would respect the club's decision and agreed to introduce Ronaldo. The club said that what he attracted to the introduction of Ronaldo was Ronaldo's influence. What else could he say?!

The entire transfer is progressing very quickly.

On January 31, 2009, Manchester City's official website announced that the club introduced Welsh scorer Bellamy from West Ham United for £10 million!

This transfer almost collapsed. West Ham United was very unhappy about Manchester City's price cut by 4 million pounds. It was not just because the price cut by 4 million pounds, but I felt unhappy. Why did you Manchester City never bother with the transfer fee when buying other teams? It was very refreshing. Why was it our turn to West Ham United so unhappy?!

What? What if you look down on West Ham United?!

In anger, West Ham United wanted to stop the transfer negotiations, but after they were angry, they calmed down and thought for a while, and had to admit that this was the most suitable opportunity to sell Bellamy. It would be difficult to miss the Manchester City store and sell Bellamy to 10 million pounds!

So, this transfer transaction was finally reached!

After buying Bellamy, the media also believed that Manchester City's signings this winter ended!

However, just an hour before the transfer window was about to close, Manchester City Club issued another announcement.

"The club has reached an agreement with AC Milan Club on the transfer of Brazilian star Ronaldo. Ronaldo will transfer from Milan to Manchester City as a free agent. Manchester City will sign an 11-year contract with Ronaldo. In the next two seasons, we will see Ronaldo galloping at the Manchester Municipal Stadium."

After Manchester City announced the news, the media was in a big uproar.

Some people don't believe it is true.

However, AC Milan Club later announced the transfer:

We hereby announce that Ronaldo's transfer to the Premier League Manchester City club has been completed. The club thanks Ronnie for his contribution to AC Milan in the past two seasons and wishes him good luck in Manchester!

The media have mixed reviews about Ronaldo's transfer from AC Milan to Manchester City!

Some media believe that if Manchester City buys Ronaldo, it is impossible for you to provide any kind of help to Manchester City at the competitive level. They even said that the help Ronaldo can provide to Manchester City is not as good as the Welshman Bellamy who just joined the team!

Obviously, the reason why the media said this was that Ronaldo's frequent injury to his right leg was also consulted with the doctor. The doctor also said that although Ronaldo's injury this time was not a big problem, his scarred right leg was already difficult to bear the overload of football games. In other words, Ronaldo may have to retire due to injury again at any time!

Even Ronaldo was injured in his first game at Manchester City and retired. In the eyes of some people, it is not impossible to happen!

Some people who support Manchester City's acquisition sent their blessings to Ronaldo. They believe that Ronaldo can contribute to Manchester City and have a lot of expectations. Some media have even begun to imagine Manchester City's trident. Robinho - Zhang Yang - Ronaldo. Such a trident combination, even among giants, is a super forward combination, a super luxurious combination!

Of course, some media have also seen the story behind Manchester City's signing with Ronaldo, that is, Ronaldo's influence!

No matter how Ronaldo is in his current state, he has always been the best scorer on the planet and is the idol worship of many fans. Many fans fall in love with football because of Ronaldo!

They always pay attention to Ronaldo and always look forward to Ronaldo's good results!

Therefore, Manchester City’s introduction of Ronaldo will inevitably attract the attention of these Ronaldo fans, and these fans may also become Manchester City fans!

This is exactly what Manchester City club is planning!

Even if Ronaldo cannot succeed at Manchester City, there is nothing. At least, Manchester City can say that they once had Ronaldo!

Once Ronaldo can succeed at Manchester City, it is not to mention returning to his peak state. As long as Ronaldo can score a few goals at Manchester City, this is a big achievement. It is a win-win situation for Manchester City and Ronaldo!

Ronaldo arrived in Manchester on February 1, 2009.

Ronnie's arrival aroused Manchester City's cheers. Manchester City fans were very happy that Ronaldo was able to join Manchester City. Although they also knew that Ronaldo's current condition was not as good as before, this was Ronaldo!

This is Ronaldo!

Manchester City fans were already satisfied when they thought that Ronaldo could play in the Blue Moon jersey! If this were the case before, how could they imagine Ronaldo playing in the Blue Moon jersey!

Ronaldo also accepted an interview at Manchester Airport. He said that he was not here to retire when he came to Manchester, and he hoped to contribute to Manchester!

"I know Manchester has a great goal this season, I know what this goal is, I also know everyone is doing well and working hard for this goal! I hope to be able to join in and make my own contribution to the team!"

Ronaldo's words attracted cheers from Manchester fans and the media. No matter what, Ronaldo's words are very good. Even some media are not optimistic about Ronaldo's joining Manchester City, they have to admit that Ronaldo's words are very pragmatic and encouraging!

On that day, there was a Premier League match.

In this game between Manchester City and Stoke City, Ronaldo did not go to watch the game away, but stayed in the hotel.

In this game, Manchester City was tied by Stoke City 2-2 away. Zhang Yang created a penalty for Manchester City at the last moment of the game. Modric scored a penalty, helping Manchester City tie the score.

After this game, Manchester City's points reached 41 points, and their points were surpassed by Arsenal, and now they are only ranked sixth in the league!

However, the gap between them and Aston Villa, who are four or five, is only four points!

Manchester City still has great hope for the Champions League qualification next season.

After the game, Zhang Yang expressed his welcome to Ronaldo's joining on behalf of Manchester City. They said that Ronaldo's arrival is a great addition to Manchester City's strength.

Three days later.

Round 24 of the 208/2009 Premier League season.

Manchester City's home game against Middlesbrough.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

In this game, Manchester City showed people their offense.

In the eleventh minute, Robinho scored another goal!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The final score of this game is three to zero.
Chapter completed!
