Chapter 116 The transfer period begins, and Manchester City offers the first-year salary in football

"Don't look anymore, no matter how much salary you pay, I will not go to Chelsea!"

Guardiola's attitude was very firm. He didn't even bother to look at the amount on the other party's check and was completely unmoved.

This makes Emnaro a bit regretful. He cannot be recruited with such a high salary. It seems that it is really impossible to take him to Chelsea.

Emnaro shook his head and stood up to leave:

"Mr. Guardiola, Chelsea's door is always open to you. If you change your mind at any time, you can call me on this phone!"

He left a business card and left.

Guardiola didn't even look at the business card. He asked Lin Quan to help him throw the card into the trash can, and went back upstairs to watch Bayern's video tape.

Lin Quan picked up the business card, took a look at it, and threw the card into the trash can.

Gee, with an annual salary of 20 million, Abu is so generous.

But unfortunately, with the stubborn Guatu, Abu's gold and yuan offensive lost its effect.

…

With the winter break of major leagues approaching, the transfer market will reopen on January 1st.

Compared with the crazy summer transfer period, the transfers during the winter break seem a lot more rational.

The biggest transfer came from the Russian Super League.

Russian Super League giant Anzhi snatched Shakhtar Donetsk's Brazilian midfielder William Borges from Chelsea for 35 million euros.

It is worth mentioning that in the last three consecutive transfer periods, the top transfer bidders have all come from the Russian Super League.

The Russian Super League is attracting the attention of the entire Europe with its amazing money-burning intensity.

In addition to Willian worth 35 million pounds, Manchester City forward Balotelli was purged by Manchester City due to disagreements with the coach and returned to Serie A for 20 million pounds.

However, he did not return to Inter Milan, but went to another club in the same city-AC Milan.

It seems that after realizing that they could not grab Lin Quan, AC Milan began to look for outstanding forwards in the transfer market.

There is nothing to say about Bashen's skills, physical fitness, etc. The only thing worth worrying about is probably his brain.

This kind of player is a world-class player from the brain down, which really makes people love and hate him.

However, AC Milan seems to think that it can train Bashen well.

Inter Milan fans are very angry about the transfer of Bashen. This guy once publicly stated that he was an AC Milan fan when he played for Inter Milan in his early years.

Now, the transfer has actually gone to a rival in the same city. This has made the Nerazzurri furious, and some radical fans even issued death threats to the Brazilian.

However, Bashen didn't care at all. He drove his convertible sports car everywhere every day and didn't care about the threats from Inter Milan fans.

In addition to these relatively large transfers in the Premier League, the remaining relatively large transfers include:

Liverpool bought Chelsea forward Sturridge for 12 million pounds, and bought Inter Milan's young midfielder Coutinho for 8.5 million pounds.

Liverpool may not even know that this Brazilian, who was bought for only 8.5 million pounds, can help them earn more than 100 million euros in the future, giving them enough transfer budget to buy Van Dijk and a large number of team building players. core, truly realizing the renaissance of the Red Army.

In addition, Arsenal bought the opponent's main defender Sureal from Malaga for 8.3 million pounds.

Chelsea spent 7 million pounds to take away young striker Demba Ba from Newcastle...

Generally speaking, the Premier League's spending during this winter break is relatively restrained.

But even so, their investment in the transfer market is still far higher than other leagues.

In terms of league operations and commercial broadcast revenue, the gap between the Premier League and other leagues is widening. This allows Premier League clubs to receive more money each season and have more abundant funds to spend in the transfer market.

Even mid-to-lower teams like Queens Park Rangers spent 20 million pounds on several quality players during this winter break.

It is precisely because the broadcast revenue of the Premier League is so high that all major clubs are trying their best to stay in the Premier League. The relegation teams at the end of each season can often burst out with extremely strong fighting power, often overturning some top giants.

Unlike the massive investment in the Premier League, Bundesliga teams are more restrained in their signings.

Werder Bremen continued to be prudent and spent 650,000 euros to introduce Croatian teenager Mateo Pavlovich from NK Zagreb.

This is a big center back who was born in 1990 and is 194cm tall.

In the German Cup match against Bayern, the opponent's high center Mandzukic posed a huge threat to Werder Bremen's defense, which made Schaff realize that the team had shortcomings in preventing high-altitude balls.

So he spent money to buy this young player with potential and good fighting ability.

After buying this person, he planned to buy a better defensive midfielder.

However, there are not many players of this type on the market. The good ones are too expensive and the cheap ones are too poor. After choosing for a long time and not getting the players I wanted, I had to give up in the end.

Lin Quan once recommended 20-year-old Brazilian midfielder Casemiro to the club, but the latter had already been taken advantage of by Real Madrid and fled to the Bernabeu.

Therefore, Werder Bremen only made one transfer this winter and declared the transfer period to be over.

Bayern is strong and has a deep bench, so Heynckes has no plans to make any signings.

Guardiola did not want to bring in players during the winter break to disrupt the stability of Heynckes' locker room, so he shelved his signing plan.

Neither coach has made any purchases, and Bayern has no personnel changes during this winter break.

As for Dortmund, they brought back Nuri Sahin from Real Madrid, an outstanding player from Dortmund's own youth training.

After arriving at Real Madrid, he didn't get many playing opportunities, so he sought a loan and returned to Dortmund.

The investment of other teams is generally not high, basically between 2 million and 4 million euros, and there are no big signings.

Generally speaking, minor repairs are made to some local locations while the main frame is intact.

The reason why the transfer market is so deserted this year is not that the major giants don't want to buy people.

It's because there is a player in the transfer market that almost all the giants are paying attention to and has yet to decide on a new home, making everyone afraid to squander their money.

This player is none other than Lin Quan himself.

On January 10, AC Milan could no longer sit still.

They took the lead in making an offer to Barcelona at a price of 45 million euros, hoping to take away Lin Quan.

After AC Milan started taking action, other clubs stopped waiting and watched and took action one after another.

Real Madrid followed suit, activating Lin Quan's liquidated damages at a price of 5 million euros and making an offer to Barcelona.

With AC Milan offering 45 million euros, Real Madrid's offer was basically a direct humiliation to Barcelona.

The meaning of their offer is that they are not prepared to give Barcelona face, directly activate the liquidated damages, and then contact the players themselves.

If the player is willing to go to Real Madrid, then they will pay liquidated damages to help the player buy out the remaining contract.

If the players don't agree, they won't increase the price until the contract expires. Anyway, they won't give Barcelona a chance to make an extra penny.

When other giants saw the two styles of AC Milan and Real Madrid, they also began to differentiate.

Some of the clubs also quoted 5 million euros, and some other clubs with good relations with Barcelona symbolically gave an offer that exceeded the liquidated damages to save Barcelona's face.

However, their wishful thinking is to bypass Barcelona and directly contact the players themselves.

Since the liquidated damages are so small, of course no one is willing to be taken advantage of.

Their calculation is to convert the transfer fee budget into wages and signing fees and hand them to the players themselves.

In this way, their offer is obviously more attractive in the face of better salary packages.

The first people to contact Lin Quan were two Premier League clubs.

The Manchester duo arrived in Spain almost at the same time and found Lin Quan.

The representatives of Manchester United first boasted about Lin Quan, saying that he was a phenomenal player and the one that Manchester United had long admired.

He also said that Ferguson was very optimistic about him and hoped to bring him to Old Trafford and make him the new king of Old Trafford.

In this regard, Lin Quan said hehe.

If others don’t know, doesn’t he still know?

Ferguson will retire after this season, and Manchester United will enter a long rebuilding period after Ferguson retires.

If you deceive yourself at this time, wouldn't you be setting yourself up for death?

Although he is nicknamed King Lin by fans, he is not Lingard, and he does not want to play happy football at Manchester United early.

So he declined Manchester United's invitation.

Having just seen off the representatives from Manchester United, representatives from Manchester City are here again.

Middle Eastern tycoons do things differently than others.

Manchester City, which does not have a wealthy background, did not say some flashy and beautiful words.

They wrote a check like a local tycoon, saying that as long as Lin Quan is willing to play at the Etihad Stadium, they are willing to give Lin Quan his first annual salary of 15 million euros in football.

To be honest, when he heard this number, Lin Quan was a little tempted.

Money is a small thing, mainly the status represented by the highest annual salary in football!

Of course, money is also important. Players' careers are relatively short, so of course they must seize the opportunity to earn more!

Seeing that he seemed to be still hesitating, Manchester City representatives continued to add:

They said that if Lin Quan is willing to go to Manchester City, they will give Lin Quan a signing fee of 30 million euros, as well as a luxury house and a limited edition supercar worth at least 3 million euros to solve his food, clothing, housing and transportation problems. .

Even on the issue of image rights involving the commercial interests of players, they even stated that the club does not want any image rights.

Lin Quan's portrait rights all belong to him!

Lin Quan felt like he was about to be knocked unconscious by the opponent's gold and yuan offensive.

Manchester City is so arrogant!

Why are the tycoons in the Middle East so rich?

The annual salary they offer is not even worth double the annual salary of other teams.

If he were a little older now, maybe Lin Quan would really agree to the other party.

But it is a pity that he is too young now, and he will not be able to go to Manchester City for the time being before he can redeem the talent of injury immunity.

Let’s wait until I practice in the Bundesliga for a few years and get promoted!

Therefore, he declined Manchester City as he had done to Manchester United before, but his attitude was more polite, and he even hinted that he would give priority to cooperating with Manchester City if he had the opportunity in the future.

Although the Manchester City representatives did not find anyone, they left with satisfaction after getting hints from Lin Quan.

After the Manchester City duo, other giants have also sent people to visit.

Because there were so many people visiting, some of them were looking for Lin Quan, and some were looking for Guardiola.

There are even more people looking for Lin Quan than Guardiola!

Being disturbed by so many people, Lin Quan and Guardiola were unable to carry out their daily lives normally.

So the two discussed it and decided to go on vacation and stay away from Spain, a place of right and wrong.

Just because they're gone doesn't mean the transfer turmoil has subsided.

Barcelona was very angry. They rejected Real Madrid's humiliating offer and publicly stated that Lin Quan was not for sale and would not be sold to outsiders.

It's just that this response seems to have little confidence. With Lin Quan still not renewing his contract with them, it is not up to them to decide where the player's next home will be.

Barcelona obviously knew this, so they sent people to find Lin Quan's agent and wanted to talk to him about contract renewal.

"Pere, this is the latest contract the team has given to Lin Quan. It is really sincere. I hope you will seriously consider it!"

Zubizarreta persuaded her earnestly, as if I was doing it for your own good.

Pere is not a three-year-old child, how could he be fooled?

He pretended to look at the new contract handed over by Barcelona, ​​then shook his head and said:

"I can't make the decision on this. You know, Lin Quan's affairs are more affected by his adoptive father. I'm just his agent and can't change his decision."

When he heard that Guardiola was wanted, Zubizarreta's face looked a little unnatural.

He is a direct descendant of Rosell, and Guardiola's departure was caused by Rosell.

Let him go to Guardiola, not to mention whether he can pull off this face. Even if he is really willing to put down his body and find the other party, Guardiola may not be willing to see him.

"Can you please arrange for me to meet with the player himself? There are some things I want to say to him in person."

Zubizarreta has not given up yet. He is not going to go to Guardiola, but plans to go directly to Lin Quan himself to discuss contract renewal.

In his opinion, the other person is just a seventeen-year-old child with no independent opinions and is easily influenced by others.

If you get him away from Guardiola and use your sharp tongue, you will have a chance to convince him to sign a new contract.

"I can't help you with this!"

Perret's head was shaking like a rattle. He was not stupid. How could he let someone from Barcelona come into contact with Lin Quan?

"Why? He is still a player of our Barcelona. Can't we even meet him once?"

Zubizarreta obviously lost his composure. He was really angry because he felt that the guy in front of him was treating him like a monkey.

"Calm down, buddy, Lin Quan and Guardiola are on vacation. I don't know where exactly they are, but I can send him your new contract online and ask for his opinion on the phone."

…

After leaving the Barcelona club, Perret immediately flew to Madrid to meet with Real Madrid Chairman Florentillo.

"Sorry, Mr. Chairman, Lin Quan has no intention of transferring during this winter break."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. So, after his contract expires in the summer, is it possible for him to come to the Bernabeu?"

Florentillo was not surprised by this result. He had already guessed that Lin Quan would not transfer to Real Madrid as a Barcelona player.

The status of the two teams as mortal enemies makes direct transfers between the two teams basically impossible.

If anyone dares to risk the disapproval of the world and transfer from one club to another, then the traitor's hat will be placed on his head and he will never be able to take it off again.

When Figo moved to Real Madrid and returned to the Camp Nou to play, Barcelona fans made very radical and humiliating actions.

"I don't want to deceive you, the possibility is very low!"

Florentillo raised his eyebrows. Could it be that someone got there first and negotiated with Lin Quan in advance?

Who is the one?

…

"Barcelona's new contract is a certain improvement over the previous one. They promise to give you a starting position, guarantee your playing time, and are willing to increase your annual salary to 7 million euros."

While looking through the new Barcelona contract that Perret brought over, and listening to the other party describing his conversation with Barcelona's sports director, Lin Quan gained a new understanding of Barcelona's current eagerness to renew the contract.

However, Guardiola is no longer at Barcelona, ​​so why would he go back?

Let Russell put on small shoes for yourself?

No matter how polite they are now, it's because they want something from themselves.

As long as you don't renew the contract, the initiative is in your own hands.

But once he signs the new contract, the initiative will return to Barcelona.

After being locked into the contract, wouldn't Barcelona just knead it as much as they wanted?

Unless someone is willing to pay a high price to redeem him, Barcelona's new contract does not include a fixed amount of liquidated damages clause.

Therefore, even if someone is willing to redeem him, Barcelona can refuse to sell.

"If there is a contract extension from Barcelona in the future, you don't need to show it to me!"

Now that you have decided to sign with Bayern, don't be half-hearted, take your mind off the transfer and focus on improving your own strength.

In the previous German Cup match with Bayern, he spent 10 points to exchange for second-level physical talent.

This delayed the time for him to upgrade his injury talent.

After winning the game against Bayern, he currently has 10 points left.

Werder Bremen has relatively few games, only the German Cup and the league, and no Champions League to play.

And their strength is not particularly strong. Even if they face Bundesliga teams, they cannot be said to be 100% able to win. These five wins are not so easy to get.

Werder Bremen still has 17 league games in the second half of the season, and in the cup, if it reaches the final, there will be 3 more games.

There are only 20 games in total. Even if he wins them all, it is not enough for him to upgrade his injury talent to the full level.

Why is it so difficult to earn points?

If it doesn’t work for the club, what about the national team?
