Chapter 300 Paris Saint-Germain’s official offer shocked the entire football world
This tidbit disclosed by French newspaper L'Equipe immediately caused an earthquake in the entire football world once it was announced.
"200 million euros? Crazy?"
"I remember there was news from the UK two years ago that Manchester City had offered Messi to Barcelona for 200 million euros!"
"Well, that's what happened, and it was rejected by Barcelona!"
"If Messi was worth 200 million two years ago, then taking Manchester City's original offer for Messi as a reference, plus inflation, the offer from Paris doesn't seem to be very high?!"
"Man City seems to have signed Lin Huang for free, right? If it were really sold to Paris, wouldn't it be a net profit of 200 million?"
"Man City doesn't need the money, right? If they really sell Lin Huang, where will they find a replacement?"
"How about buying Ronaldo?"
"Haha, Barcelona has raised the offer to 88 million euros. If Manchester City wants to buy Ronaldo, it will have to spend 90 million euros no matter what. They sold King Lin for 200 million and spent another 90 million to buy James, just to make a profit. That 110 million euros will completely overthrow the team's existing tactical system, is it crazy?"
"Indeed, Manchester City would not have agreed to this transfer unless they were crazy. Besides, Ronaldo can't replace Lin!"
If ordinary fans can still discuss the transfer rumors calmly with the mentality of watching the excitement.
When the Manchester City fans heard the news, they all panicked.
"Emperor Lin won't leave, will he?"
"It's impossible to leave. Emperor Lin is not for sale to our Blue Moon. We want to take him away for just 200 million. It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"But what if Emperor Lin wants to leave on his own?"
As soon as this question came up, Manchester City fans became even more panicked...
In order to retain Lin Quan, many Manchester City fans spontaneously went to Lin Quan's social account and posted comments in groups to retain him, hoping that he would stay in Manchester City.
Some fans went to the club's official website and strongly urged the team to keep Lin Quan.
"Lin has made great contributions to the team, and the team should not sell him!"
"If the club dares to sell Lin for a signing, then I will never step foot into the Etihad Stadium to watch a game again in my life!"
"Please, please come out and make a statement and refute the rumors. Please tell us that Lin will stay in Manchester City next season!"
A large number of fans went to the official website to leave messages, and so many messages quickly alarmed the club staff.
They were confused about the news. Didn't they hear that Lin Quan was going to be sold?
So they quickly refuted the rumors on their official website.
Seeing that the club came out to refute the rumors, the fans breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition to Manchester City fans who are frightened by this rumor, fans of two other clubs are also particularly concerned about this news.
One of them is naturally a fan of Paris Saint-Germain, and the other is a fan of Barcelona.
When the fans of Paris Saint-Germain learned about this rumor, they were all so excited that they wanted to celebrate with fireworks.
Although they already have a superstar like Ibrahimovic in their team, Ibrahimovic is too old and his strength is far from the real peerless duo.
But Lin Quan is different. Not only is he very young, but his strength has completely reached or even exceeded the level of the peerless twins.
If such a top superstar can be bought, Paris' strength will be even greater.
The fans of Paris Saint-Germain cannot help but feel excited when they think of the powerful combination of Ibrahimovic, Lin Quan and Cavani on the front line of their team.
If they had this lineup in this year's Champions League knockout round, how could they lose to Real Madrid?
Paris Saint-Germain fans who are eager to exact revenge on Real Madrid can't wait to see Lin wearing the Paris Saint-Germain jersey!
The fans of Paris Saint-Germain took it for granted. When they learned that the club intended to buy Lin Quan, Ibrahimovic, the top star of the Paris Saint-Germain team, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction to the club.
"If the club insists on bringing in that Spanish kid, I will leave Paris Saint-Germain!"
When Cavani moved to Paris, Ibrahimovic was able to subjugate the opponent and let him be his wingman. That was because he felt that he was stronger than Cavani, so it was natural that he should be the core and the other party should be the foil.
But facing Lin Quan, who was superior in strength and reputation, Ibrahimovic no longer had such confidence.
Therefore, once Lin Quan joins, there is a high probability that Ibrahimovic will be forced to become a wingman to assist Lin Quan.
This is absolutely intolerable for Ibrahimovic, who has a strong nature.
Just like he couldn't coexist with Messi in Barcelona, he doesn't think he can coexist with Lin Quan in Paris.
If the other party is coming, then he has no choice but to leave.
Regarding the threat from Ibrahimovic, Paris Saint-Germain naturally tried their best to persuade him to keep him.
Of course, this does not mean that they will give up trying to introduce Lin Quan.
It's just leaving a way out if the transfer fails. If Lin Quan is not bought and Ibrahimovic gets angry and runs away, it will be too much of a loss.
As for Barcelona, Barcelona's fans have a mentality of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, but at the same time they are a little sour.
"With 200 million euros, Qataris are really stupid and have too much money!"
It is absolutely impossible for Barcelona to pay such a high transfer fee.
Barcelona fans feel that their team can continue to promote talents from the youth training, and there is no need to waste so much money on buying people outside.
What's more, the person bought may not be suitable for Barcelona.
But they have very complicated feelings about Lin Quan, a former Barcelona player.
There is no doubt that the opponent can perfectly integrate into Barcelona's tactical system. This can be proved by looking at his performance in the Spanish national team.
However, it is too difficult to bring Lin Quan back to Camp Nou.
This time PSG's offer can be seen as a preview.
If Barcelona wants to bring their youth treasure back to Camp Nou in the future, it is likely to cost a similar or even higher price.
"Aren't transfer fees in football inflation too fast?"
"Yes, a few years ago transfer fees of tens of millions of euros were the highest bids, but now they are in hundreds of millions!"
"I thought that Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer fee record of nearly 100 million euros in the past few years could be maintained for many years. I didn't expect that it would be broken so soon, and it would increase exponentially. These damn oil guys are too burning. Money!”
When they thought that they would have to spend hundreds of millions to buy back Lin Quan, Barcelona fans began to hate the Middle East consortium!
It's all the fault of these oil guys. If it weren't for their existence, how could the transfer fees in football have expanded to such an extent in just a few years?
Behind Paris Saint-Germain is the Qatari consortium, which has invested very heavily in football over the years.
Therefore, the current skyrocketing transfer prices in football are really inseparable from them!
As for why the Qatar consortium is burning so much money, it is actually to build momentum for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Buying Paris Saint-Germain and entering the five major leagues is one of their major moves to build momentum for the World Cup!
In addition to buying Paris Saint-Germain to enter the five major leagues, they also purchased a large number of stars to expand their influence as much as possible.
Well-known stars such as Ibrahimovic, Cavani, and Thiago Silva were all recruited by the Qatari consortium at high prices.
Among them, when Ibrahimovic joined Paris in 2012, his annual salary was even as high as 15 million euros, which was higher than Messi and Ronaldo at the time.
If the Abu Dhabi consortium's acquisition of Manchester City set a precedent for gold-dollar football, then the Qatar consortium undoubtedly further promoted gold-dollar football and rapidly expanded the bubble in the football world.
And unlike Mansour’s Abu Dhabi Consortium, the Abu Dhabi Consortium has now begun to build their own football kingdom through City Football Group.
They have long-term development plans in football-related fields.
And what about the Qatari consortium?
There is no long-term plan in sight at the moment, they are more like just playing around!
After spending a lot of money to buy Paris Saint-Germain and a large number of players, Paris Saint-Germain won two French Ligue 1 championships in three years.
This achievement is actually worthy of the Qatari consortium’s investment. In terms of publicity effect, it has actually achieved their goal.
But I am afraid of comparison in everything.
Also playing gold-dollar football, Manchester City is undoubtedly more successful than Paris.
After all, Manchester City won the Champions League, but Paris did not!
If Manchester City failed to win the championship last season, then the performance of Paris Saint-Germain is not unacceptable to the Qatari consortium.
But after Manchester City won the championship, the Qatari consortium, which had been fighting openly and covertly with the Abu Dhabi consortium, was completely unable to sit still!
The French Ligue 1 ranks low among the five major leagues, and the competition is far less fierce than the Premier League.
This resulted in the value of the two French Ligue 1 championships they won being much lower than the Premier League, and they were firmly suppressed by the opponent in almost all aspects.
How can I bear this?
So, seeing Manchester City's core Lin Quan shine in the World Cup, the Qatari consortium came up with a plan and simply made a bid to poach the core of Manchester City's team.
If Lin Quan can be recruited to Paris Saint-Germain, then with this transfer alone, he will be able to make a strong presence in front of fans all over the world.
The record transfer of 200 million euros created a sensation far greater than the original joining of Ibrahimovic, Cavani and others.
Moreover, once Lin Quan is poached, the tactical system that Manchester City has finally built will completely collapse.
Manchester City's record will definitely plummet next season, and on the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain may be about to take off.
Even if the transfer fails in the end, Lin Quan's 200 million euro offer can give them a lot of hype and attract the attention of all parties.
Anyway, they are just riding on the popularity, no matter whether they succeed or not, they will definitely make money!
How could Paris miss such a good thing?
Therefore, the gossip disclosed by France's L'Equipe is actually not without purpose.
Paris Saint-Germain have enough incentive to submit this offer, and they are not short of money at all.
As for whether spending 200 million euros to buy Lin Quan is worth it, just leave this matter to professional analysts to evaluate.
The professional agency hired by the Qatar Consortium finally analyzed and concluded based on the data collected on all aspects of Lin Quan:
If you buy Lin Quan at this price, you will definitely make a profit!
Even if we don't take into account the huge publicity benefits that this transfer will bring to the Qatari consortium, just bringing Lin Quan to the Parc des Princes is a very affordable price!
Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Lin Quan are the three strongest players in today's football world.
These three are all superstars with a price but no market. To buy them, you don't have to have money.
The Qatari consortium is not worried about spending money, they are worried that Manchester City will reject their offer!
And there is no doubt that Manchester City will not accept their offer!
After Paris Saint-Germain's first offer was sent, Manchester City was so surprised that they rejected it without even looking at it.
Manchester City's attitude is very firm: Lin Quan is not for sale to the team and will not be sold for any money!
The Qataris seemed to have predicted that this would happen, and they were not discouraged. Since a direct quotation was not possible, they would send someone to contact the player himself to see if they could do the player's job.
So, the next day after this rumor came out, Lin Quan received a call from his agent Perret.
"So, the offer from Paris Saint-Germain is real?"
Lin Quan noticed this gossip on the Internet yesterday. He thought it was false news, but after receiving a call from Pere, Lin Quan felt that the matter was not that simple.
"Yes, Paris Saint-Germain really submitted an offer of 200 million euros!"
When answering this question, Pere felt a little unreal.
Unknowingly, Lin Quan's price has soared to this level?
This is 200 million euros!
This amount of money may have exceeded the entire team value of most ordinary teams in the five major leagues!
For many teams, this money is enough for them to build a very good lineup, but Paris uses it to buy one person!
It’s really luxurious to the extreme!
"Man City didn't agree, did they?"
Lin Quan asked. Manchester City was not short of money. They would probably not agree to this kind of poaching unless they were crazy.
"Well, Manchester City rejected their offer!"
"Then you called me because a direct offer from Paris Saint-Germain was not feasible, so someone contacted you and offered them their conditions?"
Lin Quan immediately guessed the purpose of Perret's call. If the direct quotation failed, he would contact the player privately and do the ideological work of the player himself. This kind of thing is nothing new in football.
For example, when Bell transferred to Real Madrid, in order to bargain with Tottenham, Real Madrid found Bell in advance, worked through his ideological work, and asked him to stop playing and training, thereby forcing Tottenham to release him.
But Tottenham chairman Levy is also a ruthless person. He refused to let go. He would rather not use Bale and refused to lower the price.
Not only did Tottenham refuse to let go, they even significantly increased their offer after Real Madrid's other option, Lin Quan, was signed by Manchester City, killing Real Madrid severely.
"That's it. Are you interested in hearing the terms offered by Paris Saint-Germain?"
Perret is a little excited about Paris's offer, because according to the agent's commission rules, if the transfer is successful, he can take 10% of the transfer fee, which is a commission of 20 million euros!
He has never seen so much money in his life!
With such a high commission rate, it’s no wonder that many players’ agents encourage their players to transfer.
"No interest. I have no intention of leaving Manchester City for the time being, let alone going to Ligue 1!"
Lin Quan is satisfied with his current life in Manchester City. The team's lineup is almost in sync and is very competitive in the league and Champions League.
In addition, the club and the big boss Mansour are very good to him. He is not the kind of ungrateful person and does not want to do such a thing that betrays the team.
Besides, if you really want to transfer, you can only transfer back to La Liga.
In the UK, what dissatisfied Lin Quan the most was the weather.
The weather in Manchester is cold, wet and very changeable, and it can even rain several times a day.
The wet and cold weather is a bit unbearable, especially for people like Lin Quan who are accustomed to Catalonia's warm sea breeze and warm sunshine.
Seeing that Lin Quan was not interested in understanding, Pere consciously did not continue the topic.
During the World Cup, he hopes to play football with peace of mind and does not want to be disturbed by the messy transfer news from the outside world.
Although Lin Quan had no plans to leave, Manchester City still felt nervous.
Pellegrini, who was watching the World Cup in Brazil, was dumbfounded after learning about PSG's offer!
Good guy, this home has been stolen?
Lin Quan is the most important player under his command. If Lin Quan is poached, how will Manchester City play next season?
He immediately called the club and after confirming that the club rejected Paris Saint-Germain's offer, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the alarm cannot be completely eliminated. What if Lin Quan is moved by the other party's sincerity and wants to leave?
So Pellegrini personally ran outside the training base in Spain and visited Lin Quan.
