Chapter 325: The net worth skyrocketed by 80 million, surpassing Messi and ranking first!

As the Champions League champions last season, they also own the top super giants on the planet.

Manchester City has received far more attention this summer than ever before.

In the past few years, although Manchester City has been able to attract the attention of fans through large-scale signings, this approach is not sustainable after all, and will also have a certain negative impact on the team's image.

After all, in the eyes of many fans, Manchester City's unscrupulous behavior of waving checks to buy people is disrupting the transfer market and increasing the operating costs of other clubs.

Therefore, in the past few years, Manchester City has been saddled with the bad image of nouveau riche.

But that's different this summer.

This summer, Manchester City made very little moves in the transfer market and showed restraint in buying people.

The reason why they have attracted the attention of a large number of fans and media reporters is mainly related to their results last season and the big-name stars in the team.

After winning the Champions League, Manchester City's influence and popularity around the world have greatly increased, which has brought them many fans,

Not only that, Manchester City's rapid rise has also attracted the attention of many European giants.

Last season, Manchester City defeated super teams including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona on the way to the championship.

This is enough to prove that they won the Big Ears Cup not by luck, but by real strength.

As the defending champions, if their lineup does not change much in the new season, they will still be very competitive in the Champions League.

This is not good news for these wealthy clubs.

As a result, all the major giants have started to think about poaching Manchester City.

As long as they buy those valuable players in their team, they can not only enhance their own strength, but also weaken Manchester City's strength.

Due to the ebb and flow of one another, the threat that Manchester City can bring in the new season will naturally be greatly reduced.

Manchester City really has a lot of top stars. Among the 11 starting players, except for Kolarov's Serbia, which failed to enter the World Cup, the other 10 players all participated in this World Cup.

Among them, Lin Quan and David Silva won the World Cup championship, Kroos won the World Cup runner-up, and Aguero, Zabaleta, and Demichelis reached the semi-finals.

De Bruyne, Kompany and others broke into the quarterfinals.

Among these players, except for Aguero who failed to grab the starting spot, all other players are the absolute main force of their respective teams.

Among them, Lin Quan is definitely the most eye-catching one.

After participating in the World Cup for the first time, he led the team to win the championship, and also defeated Messi head-on in the duel with Argentina.

This caused his popularity in football to skyrocket. Many critics and stars believe that Lin Quanhui will become the strongest star in football in the future.

You don’t even have to wait until the future, it might already be happening now!

Therefore, there is no doubt that the person that the major giants want to take away from Manchester City is Lin Quan.

However, Lin Quan's contract with Manchester City still has four years left. It is too difficult to take him away from the Etihad Stadium when the player himself has stated that he does not want to leave.

Even if the player himself is willing to leave, it is really difficult to say how much a player of this level is worth in the transfer market.

When it comes to the transfer of stars of Lin Quan's level, the closest one is Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.

At that time, Real Madrid paid Manchester United 80 million pounds, equivalent to 94 million euros, in order to take Ronaldo away!

This price directly set a new record for the highest transfer in history at the time!

Now that five years have passed, the players' values ​​have skyrocketed, and the reference value of this price is no longer great.

But one thing is certain, that is, if Lin Quan is to be taken away, the transfer fee will definitely set a new world record.

Just when the major clubs are a little unsure about Lin Quan's worth, the German transfer market has updated the latest player worth rankings.

This list is a number calculated by the German transfer market in a more scientific way based on the performance of major players in the World Cup.

In the latest rankings, Lin Quan, who just led his team to win the World Cup, has seen his net worth soar by 80 million euros thanks to his outstanding performance in this World Cup, surpassing Messi with a net worth of 150 million euros. Temporarily ranked first among active players!

Although Messi failed to lead the team to win the championship, his 5 goals in the last two games of the World Cup also added a lot to his glory.

As a result, Messi's worth has increased slightly, reaching 135 million euros, temporarily ranking second among active players.

Considering the age gap between Messi and Lin Quan, Lin Quan is only 18 years old now and is still growing, and may become even stronger in the future.

And Messi is 27 years old this year. It may be difficult to improve his strength in the future, and may even lead to a decline in form as injuries and age increase.

Therefore, the 15 million euro gap between the two may be difficult to equal.

Under Lin Quan and Messi, Ronaldo ranked third.

Ronaldo's Portugal performed poorly in this World Cup. Ronaldo himself only scored 2 goals, and Portugal was eliminated.

Therefore, Ronaldo's worth has not increased and is still 120 million euros. This worth also puts him in third place behind Lin Quan and Messi.

Among the three, Ronaldo is the oldest, 29 years old this year.

His net worth will basically never increase and will only continue to decline as he ages in the future.

But even so, Ronaldo is the only three active players worth more than 100 million euros.

Under these three devils, ranked fourth is the fast winger Bale from Wales.

They lost the Champions League and failed to enter the World Cup.

As a result, Bell's value has dropped, from 90 million euros last year to 80 million euros.

Ranked fifth is Brazilian supernova Neymar. The outside world was originally very optimistic that Neymar would surpass Bale, but he was unlucky and was injured in the World Cup.

Moreover, the Brazilian team also suffered a disastrous defeat to the German team, which caused backlash to all parties' praise of Neymar and the Brazilian team before the game.

Affected by this, Neymar's value has not increased as much as expected, with only 70 million euros, temporarily ranking fifth.

Ranking sixth to tenth are Di Maria with 65 million euros, Iniesta with 65 million euros, Ronaldo with 60 million euros, Suarez with 60 million euros, and Falcao with 60 million euros.

It is worth mentioning that thanks to their outstanding performance in the World Cup, the worth of Lin Quan's two teammates, Kroos, has increased to 50 million euros.

De Bruyne's worth has also increased to 35 million euros.

Reus, who performed well last season, unfortunately missed the World Cup, but his value still soared by 20 million euros, reaching 55 million euros.

This is also the most valuable star among German players currently.

Because of this, many German media are lamenting that if Royce had not been injured and participated in this World Cup in a healthy state.

Then maybe the German team won't lose so miserably in the match against Spain!

The German transfer market has a great influence in football. Many clubs will use the player values ​​​​given by the German transfer market as a reference to operate player transfers.

Therefore, once the latest value ranking list of the German transfer market was announced, it immediately aroused heated discussion in the football world.

"Holy crap, Emperor Lin has reached the top?"

"real or fake?"

"With a net worth of 150 million euros, is the German transfer market crazy? Is it so high?"

"Yes, Boss Mei's maximum is only 135 million. Huang Lin is only 18 years old and has reached 150 million. Is this still justified?"

"Look at inflation. If Boss Mei were 5 years younger, his worth might not be lower than that of Emperor Lin!"

"Indeed, I feel a little dizzy when I see the transfer fees in football this summer. They easily cost 70 to 80 million euros. This was the highest transfer fee in football ten years ago!"

"Yes, when Qi Zu moved to Real Madrid, it was only 77.5 million euros. This was a sensation all over the world at the time!"

"Inflation is indeed too strong. Didn't Paris offer Lin Lin 200 million euros not long ago? If this transaction can be completed, then Lin Lin will directly double the current highest transfer record!"

Lin Quan, who was on vacation, couldn't help but complain on social media after learning the latest net worth announced by the German transfer market:

"Am I so expensive?"

He previously estimated that his net worth might rise this time, but he felt that it could exceed 100 million euros, and that it would be as high as 110 million or 120 million.

Unexpectedly, the German transfer market was so radical, and it suddenly increased his offer by 80 million euros, from the previous 70 million to 150 million.

This improvement is like riding a rocket, it is really exaggerated.

Under Lin Quan's complaint, countless fans came.

"It is indeed very expensive. A pound of pork only costs 12 yuan now. Your worth, Emperor Lin, can buy 140,000 tons of pork!"

This was a message from a fan from China. His metaphor made Lin Quan's mouth twitch slightly.

It’s okay to calculate one’s worth based on pork! ?

Although he complained like this in his heart, Lin Quan couldn't help but do some calculations.

A pig weighs about 100 kilograms. If 140,000 tons of pork are converted into pigs, wouldn't there be 1.4 million pigs?

Off the charts!

After the latest value of the German transfer market was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of major clubs.

After seeing Lin Quan's net worth, they couldn't help but take a breath.

The player value in the German transfer market can only be used as a reference. When transferring, unless the player's contract only has the last year or half a year left, the transfer fee is usually much more expensive than the player's value.

Lin Quan's contract is far from expiring, but his worth has soared to 150 million euros.

This means that to buy him, it will cost at least 200 million euros!

No wonder Paris made an offer of 200 million euros before, but Manchester City directly rejected it without even a trace of hesitation.

The price, which seems very expensive to the outside world, simply does not reach Manchester City's psychological bottom line.

To take Lin Quan away, I'm afraid I have to prepare 250 million euros or more!

There are really very few clubs that can spend 250 million euros at one time, even some established giants cannot do it.

Even if they really had so much money, they might not be willing to use it to buy Lin Quan.

After all, such a high net worth means that his salary will also be ridiculously high.

Except for a few wealthy teams that are not short of money, other teams, even if they are wealthy, cannot afford such a big contract.

If he forcefully buys Lin Quan, he may collapse his financial and salary system.

However, there are a few exceptions.

For example, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

Although the first two have no capital injection from the Middle East consortium, they can hope to get so much money by relying on the foundation accumulated over the years and selling some of the team's players.

The latter is backed by the Qatari consortium, so funding is not a problem at all.

The problem is that they can’t buy anyone even if they have money!

You can’t buy Lin Quan for 200 million, and I’m afraid you can’t buy it for 250 million.

As for Ronaldo and Messi, both of them have no interest in joining Paris.

Therefore, their targets can only be placed on players below the three devils.

For example, Neymar!

Neymar is worth only 70 million euros. If Paris spends 150 million euros to buy him, will Barcelona let him go?

Paris is going to give it a try. What if it succeeds?

…

After recognizing the reality and knowing that they would not be able to buy Lin Quan in a short period of time, the major giants began to settle for the next best thing and set their poaching targets on Lin Quan's teammates.

Manchester City's team has several young and strong players who are the focus of major giants' attention.

Like Cross!

With his outstanding performance in this World Cup, Kroos's strength has been recognized by more and more giants.

During the winter break last year, I mocked Manchester City for being a team with stupid people and a lot of money. At this time, I almost regret it.

Based on Kroos' performance in the World Cup, the price of 50 million euros is not expensive at all.

Based on the current situation in the transfer market, it would probably cost a huge sum of 60 million or even 70 million euros to take Kroos away from Manchester City.

And Manchester City may not sell it!

It doesn’t matter whether Manchester City sells it or not. Let’s try it first by setting a price.

Real Madrid took the lead in taking action.

After Xabi Alonso moved to Bayern, they lacked a main force in the midfield.

Although Ronaldo was bought, Ronaldo is an attacking midfielder and is not the same type of player as Xavi Alonso.

As for Casemiro, whom they acquired from Brazil, they have been loaned to Porto this season to improve, so they can't count on him for the time being.

Therefore, Real Madrid made an offer to Manchester City for 55 million euros, hoping to take Kroos away.

This price is naturally unattractive to Manchester City. They spent 50 million euros to buy Kroos, and they sold Kroos just to make 5 million euros. Isn't that a mistake?

After receiving Real Madrid's offer, Manchester City chose to reject it without hesitation.

Real Madrid was not surprised by Manchester City's reaction. They continued to increase their offer and made a second attempt at 60 million euros.

At the same time, they contacted Cross' agent Walker privately, intending to do Cross' ideological work from the player's side.

After receiving the invitation from Real Madrid Chairman Florentino, Walker happily went to Madrid and had a confidential discussion with the other party.
