Just now, according to the exact news brought by the British media Telegraph, there has been an update on the transfer of Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder has already confirmed his departure from Manchester City at the end of the season and he wants to retire to a club in the non-top five leagues. On this basis, the Saudi league and the MLS are interested in signing him. However, the player has now abandoned his contract in the Saudi league and prefers to play in the American Professional League.
據悉,德布勞內之所以選擇放棄沙特聯賽的合同,主要有兩個原因。首先是薪水方面,沙特聯賽球隊此前向球員開出了40萬英鎊的合同,但這很顯然不符合之前巨星計劃的價位。像德布勞內同段位的足壇巨星,在沙特聯賽所獲得的數位基本都是60萬英鎊以上。這讓球員的經紀人團隊,覺得他們並沒有受到重視。而且沙特聯賽球隊只願意給他們提供短期合同,這更是讓球員反感的地方。
相比較而言,美職聯的邁阿密國際雖然只能夠提供一份二十幾萬英鎊的週薪。但合同是一份2+1的期限,同時合同當中還包含著一些浮動條款。單就性價比來說,邁阿密國際這份合同並不遜色於沙特多少。在沙特聯賽報價並沒有取得明顯優勢的前提下,他們很難競爭得過其他聯賽,尤其是像美職聯這樣的賽事。與此同時,第2個原因也很簡單,德布勞內的家人在這筆交易當中起到了關鍵作用。
他的妻子以及父母都希望球員能夠前往美職聯效力,畢竟兩邊的生活環境以及基礎設施等條件相差甚遠。事實上,這也是很多球星在2選1當中選擇後者的原因。相較於更優厚的薪資待遇來說,他們更看重生活的品質以及對子女的教育等方面。之前阿根廷球王梅西,就是基於這個原因選擇了邁阿密國際。在梅球王看來,家人的生活品質要比沙特聯賽獲得天價年薪更重要。
There are plenty of stars who have made the same choice, so it's no surprise that De Bruyne chose the MLS. There have been many contacts between the two sides, and De Bruyne's team is very recognizant of the contract offered by Miami International, and the two sides are only short of signing. Objectively speaking, De Bruyne's choice is no problem at this stage. Joining Inter Miami allows him to get a relaxed league environment without much competitive pressure at the end of his career. Coupled with the fact that there are a lot of stars in the team, it shouldn't be a problem to play football and compete for a few trophies. For De Bruyne personally, it will be a great end to his career.
At the same time, for Inter Miami, it is indeed very beneficial to finalize a midfield superstar like De Bruyne at this stage. Because the team is going to compete in the new Club World Cup next, if they want to qualify from the group and achieve better results. Then Inter Miami must strengthen the midfield, and only when a superstar like De Bruyne joins can he share the pressure of organizing and attacking with stars such as Messi. At that time, Miami International will greatly enhance its immediate combat power. You must know that in order to introduce a comprehensive midfield superstar, Miami International has made many attempts.
They have been in contact with Brazilian superstar Neymar and even French midfielder Paul Pogba, who has just been lifted from the global competition. Unfortunately, neither deal progressed substantially, and in the end, Inter Miami chose De Bruyne. Interestingly, there happened to be one foreign player registration in the Miami International team that was not used, and the next direct use for De Bruyne was a seamless deal. What do you think about this?
