The trainer of the Manchester United, José Mourinho, has conceded an interview to 'The Times' in which it does not doubt when ensuring that the multimillionaire signing of Neymar Jr by Paris Saint-Germain, by value of 222 million euros, has meant a brecha irreparable in the market of international signings, that from now will be progressively "more expensive" and "worse" according to the Portuguese.
The Manchester United spent this summer a total of 169,5 million pounds in signings, but Mourinho ensures that the 'network devils' were smarter because they carried out his contractings in the month of July, before in August inflara the market.
"If Pogba still went the most expensive signing, think that Coutinho would be in the Barça by 101 millions"
Ficharon By 39,5 millions to Victor Lindelof (Benfica), by 90 'kilos' to Romelu Lukaku (Everton) and by 40 million pounds Nemanja Matic (Chelsea), in addition to the arrival with the letter of freedom of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, that will not be able to play to within of some months.
In spite of the worn quantity, Mourinho thinks that saved a lot money. "I think that we were very smart. We knew that it could happen something like this, something that changed the market for ever. Usually, the final part of the market is used to to be cheaper, but this season, after the of Neymar, everything changed. And it changed for worse", thinks the Portuguese trainer.
"On 31 August Lukaku had cost us 150 million pounds and Matic between 60 and 70 millions. Neymar Changed it everything. If the most expensive signing of the history was still Pogba, think that now Philippe Coutinho would be in the Barcelona by 101 millions", signals.
Mourinho, happy with the rapidity of the Manchester United
After the sale of Neymar by 222 millions, the Barça fichó to Dembélé by 105 'kilos' fixed and the PSG received the cession of Mbappé, although it will have to pay 180 millions to the term of this season 2017-18. "The people now thinks that pay 200 millions is something almost normal. The players that cost 20 millions now cost 40, and the ones of 40 cost 60. It has changed all", regrets Mourinho.
"Lukaku And Matic had cost us 200 millions. But as we did everything in the first part of the summer cost us much less. In economic terms think that did it very well, and in sportive terms also, since the fichamos before it began the season. It is not key, but yes important", concludes the Portuguese, visibly critic with the sucedido.
