Chapter 107 Bayern's Concessions
"You continue to talk to Bayern. If they really want to sign a five-year contract, they must make concessions in terms of signing fees and annual salary. Otherwise, we would rather not sign with them!"
On the other end of the phone, Pere nodded: "I understand, but if you want to bargain with Bayern, I suggest you contact more other clubs, at least to let Bayern know that we don't have to have him!"
Because Bayern has already signed a letter of intent with Guardiola, Lin Quan's negotiations with Bayern were a little passive.
Now that they have secured Guardiola, they seem to have determined that Lin Quan will definitely transfer to Bayern to find Guardiola.
This makes them feel somewhat confident!
If we don't create some trouble for them and let them know that Lin Quan is not necessarily for Bayern, they will not give in easily.
"Well, okay, when I go back to Spain during the winter break, I'll go to the Bernabeu to watch a few games!"
La Liga has more teams than the Bundesliga, resulting in a longer schedule and a shorter winter break.
While the Bundesliga is on holiday, there are still several games to be played in La Liga, and Real Madrid happens to be playing at home in the 18th round.
At that time, Lin Quan only needs to go to the Bernabeu for a visit. Even if he does not come into contact with the Real Madrid president and the club's people, it will be enough to arouse speculation from the outside world.
The media were able to find various angles and reasons to hype that he was going to join Real Madrid!
At that time, Lin Quan will remain silent, neither admitting nor denying, and let the outside world hype it up. He doesn't believe that Bayern can sit still!
"Good idea. As a player, you'd better not contact anyone from Real Madrid about this matter. It's easy to violate the rules and get caught!"
Under the Bosman Act, professional players cannot contact other clubs privately until their contracts reach certain conditions.
However, the bill also stipulates that any contract can be legally terminated without violating regulations as long as there is only six months left in the contract.
Lin Quan's contract currently has half a year left. Strictly speaking, he will be able to legally contact the team by January next year.
However, it is not a good idea for the players to deal with such matters themselves. It would be better to let the agents contact and negotiate.
…
In the middle of the week, the much-anticipated German transfer market announced the latest player value rankings.
Messi, who tied Gerd Muller's natural year goal record, has soared to 150 million euros! This price means that if someone wants to buy him, there is no hope without spending two or three small goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a hat-trick in the Champions League at Old Trafford, saw his market value increase slightly by 5 million euros to 105 million euros, temporarily ranking second behind Messi.
The third to tenth places are Iniesta with 70 million euros, Rooney with 65 million euros, Falcao with 60 million euros, Cavani with 60 million euros, Fabregas with 55 million euros, Bale with 55 million euros, Aguero with 51 million euros and David Silva with 50 million euros.
Except for Bale, whose value soared by 15 million euros due to his scandal with Real Madrid.
Falcao and Cavani, two super shooters from South America, have seen their market value increase by between 10 and 15 million euros thanks to their numerous goals for their clubs.
The top ten of the list are basically old faces.
But between the 10th and 20th places, two new faces appeared:
Neymar, the Brazilian rising star from Santos, is worth 45 million euros and ranks 13th.
Lin Quan from Werder Bremen is worth 43 million euros and ranks 14th.
Both players are very young. By February next year, one will be 17 and the other 21 years old. They will have at least ten years of golden age left for them.
Especially Lin Quan, his golden period may be more than 15 years, if he does not get injured! After the latest transfer market value came out, it immediately caused a heated discussion on the Internet.
However, the most discussed person this time was not Lin Quan, but Neymar.
"Who is this Neymar? He is worth more than our Lin Huang. Is he in this river?"
"Neymar is the star player of Santos, the Brazilian Footballer of the Year and the South American Footballer of the Year. He was the tenth runner-up in last year's Ballon d'Or. He is not a newcomer and has long been famous!"
“Is this Neymar the one who was rumored to be having an affair with Barcelona?”
"Yes, that's him. According to gossip, Barcelona seems to have reached a contract of intent with Neymar. If nothing unexpected happens, he will play at Camp Nou next year. It is said that Barcelona spent a small amount of money to take him away!"
"Hiss, a small goal, RMB?"
"What are you thinking? Of course it's Euros. The official transfer fee seems to be 57 million Euros, but there are also commissions, club compensation, player signing fees and so on. In short, it's not cheap!"
"Damn, Neymar is so expensive. If Lin Huang transfers, how much will it cost for the club to buy him?"
"Who knows? However, the market value of the German transfer market cannot reflect the real value of the players in the transfer market. Some will be overpriced, and some will even be discounted, so it can only be used as a reference!"
"Lin Quan's style is very similar to Messi, so we can refer to the offers of Messi from major clubs to estimate his value."
"Lin Huang is definitely not as tall as Coal Ball King now, but he has a European household registration and does not occupy the foreign aid quota. This is an advantage over Messi. So when he comes of age, his transfer price may even be higher than Messi's!"
…
Just as the German transfer market announced the latest player value rankings, inside the Bayern Munich club, club manager Hoeness was reporting to chairman Rummenigge on the latest progress of the transfer negotiations with Lin Quan's agent.
"Lin Quan's agent said he did not want to sign a long-term contract with us and could only accept a three-year contract. He also hoped to add a penalty limit to the contract and asked for a higher signing fee."
Hoeness was obviously very dissatisfied with the various demands put forward by Lin Quan. He felt that the other party was just a young player and Bayern offered them such generous treatment. They should be content and sign the contract with gratitude.
Instead of haggling over every penny like we do now, and bargaining with them.
Rummenigge listened for a while, then tapped lightly on the back of the chair with his fingers.
Hennes knew that the other party was thinking about a problem, so he shut up and waited for the other party's decision.
"The term of the intended contract between Guardiola and us is three years. If Lin Quan really came for Guardiola, then it is understandable that he wants to sign a three-year contract."

Bayern has actually only signed a letter of intent with Guardiola. Both parties can terminate the contract at any time, and the cost of breach of contract is not high.
Considering that Guardiola only agreed to sign for three years, and Lin Quan also only agreed to sign for three years, Bayern was a little confused about the other party's attitude.
Did the three-year period have been agreed upon privately between the father and son? If so, if the transfer negotiations with Lin Quan fell through, would it affect the previous intention contract with Guardiola?
If Guardiola does not sign with Bayern because of this matter, then Bayern may have worked in vain.
Where can I find a suitable head coach at that time? When I thought of this, Rummenigge was very cautious.
For Bayern, Guardiola is more important now and they must keep him at all costs.
As for Lin Quan, Rummenigge had watched Lin Quan's game on site and was deeply impressed by his performance on the court. It was at that time that he came up with the idea of buying him.
Now, Lin Quan is becoming more and more unstoppable in the Bundesliga, which further strengthens his determination to bring him in.
For a young player with such great potential, even if you don't use him, it is a sure win if you just treat him as an investment.
What's more, according to Lin Quan's agent, he will join Bayern as a free agent, and Bayern doesn't even have to pay a penny in transfer fees!
In this case, it is normal to give him a signing fee as compensation, just like when Eto'o transferred from Barcelona to Inter Milan at a low price, Inter Milan offered him a super high annual salary and signing fee to compensate him.
It’s not that Bayern is short of money, and it’s understandable that Hoeness, as a manager, wants to save money.
But we can't mess things up just to save money. If we do that, we won't be able to buy anyone. We will only have money but no suitable head coach and potential players. What's the use of having money?
A phenomenal player like Lin Quan is hard to come by and his value cannot be measured by money.
It is because he is young that his value is not high. If he were over 21 years old this year, his value would probably exceed 100 million euros. Bayern would have to spend a lot of money to buy him.
We can buy him now without a transfer fee, and even if we give him a large signing fee, we can sell him to recover the cost if we want to cash in in the future.
As long as he doesn't suffer a devastating injury, his value will only rise steadily, not fall.
When Guardiola was at Barcelona, he had the powerful Messi under his command.
If he were given similar equipment at Bayern, he would most likely replicate his Barcelona miracle and win more championship trophies for Bayern.
If you think the signing fee is too expensive, then you can just sell him before his contract expires to recoup the cost.
With his current state and huge growth potential, if he wants to be sold in a few years, there will be no problem finding a buyer, and the buyer is also willing to pay a high price. Bayern may be able to sell him for hundreds of millions of euros.
By then, you can still make a lot of money after deducting the costs!
If he is willing to stay, Bayern will have a Messi of their own. Lin Quan's presence alone is enough to guarantee the lower limit of their record!
Such a player is like a high-quality financial product. What are you waiting for? Thinking of this, Rummenigge made a decision:
"How about this, you tell his agent that we both take a step back. Bayern agrees to their signing fee and liquidated damages requirements, but they need to extend the contract by one year and sign a four-year contract with us. If they can agree, then we should sign with them as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble!"
