Chapter 325: His value skyrocketed by 80 million, surpassing Messi and becoming the number one!

As the Champions League champion last season, they also have the best superstars on the planet.

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

In the past few years, although Manchester City has been able to attract fans' attention through big-money signings, this approach cannot last long and will have a certain negative impact on the team's image.

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

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

But this summer is different.

This summer, Manchester City has made very little move in the transfer market and has been very restrained in buying players.

The reason why they attracted a large number of fans and media reporters' attention is mainly related to their performance 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 strong teams including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona on the way to winning the championship.

This is enough to prove that they won the Champions League not by luck but by real strength.

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

This is not good news for these giants.

As a result, all the major clubs started to think about poaching players from Manchester City.

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

As one thing grows stronger, the other loses. The threat that Manchester City can bring in the new season will naturally be greatly reduced.

Manchester City has quite a few top stars. Among the starting 11, except for Kolarov's Serbia which failed to qualify for the World Cup, the other 10 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, Aguero, Zabaleta and Demichelis reached the semi-finals.

De Bruyne, Kompany and others advanced to the quarterfinals.

Except for Aguero who failed to get the starting position, all other players are the absolute main force of their respective teams.

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

He led his team to win the championship in his first World Cup and defeated Messi head-on in the match against Argentina.

This made his popularity in the football world soar, and many critics and stars believed that Lin Quan would become the strongest star in the football world in the future.

There is no need to wait until the future, maybe it is already now! Therefore, the one that the big clubs want to take away from Manchester City the most is undoubtedly Lin Quan.

However, Lin Quan still has four years left on his contract with Manchester City, and it would be 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.

The most recent transfer of a star of Lin Quan's level was that of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.

At that time, Real Madrid paid Manchester United 80 million pounds, equivalent to 94 million euros, to take Ronaldo away! This price directly broke the highest transfer record in history at the time! Now, five years have passed, the players' values ​​have skyrocketed, and this price is no longer of much reference value.

However, one thing is certain, that is, if Lin Quan is to be taken away, the transfer fee will definitely break the current world record.

Just when the major giants were unsure about Lin Quan's value, the German transfer market updated the latest player value rankings.

This list is the result of a more scientific calculation by the German transfer market based on the performance of the players in the World Cup.

In the latest ranking, Lin Quan, who just led his team to win the World Cup, has seen his value soar by 80 million euros thanks to his outstanding performance in this World Cup. With a value of 150 million euros, he has surpassed Messi and is currently ranked first among active players! Although Messi failed to lead his team to win the championship, his five goals in the last two games of the World Cup also added a lot of color to him.

As a result, Messi's value has increased slightly to 135 million euros, ranking second among active players.

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

Messi is already 27 years old this year, and it will be difficult for him to improve in the future. His condition may even decline with injuries and age.

Therefore, the gap of 15 million euros between the two will probably be difficult to make up.

Below Lin Quan and Messi, ranked third is Cristiano Ronaldo.

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

Therefore, Ronaldo's value has not increased and remains at 120 million euros. This value also puts him in third place after Lin Quan and Messi.

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

His net worth will basically not increase anymore, and will only continue to decline as he gets older.

But even so, Ronaldo is one of only three active players whose value exceeds 100 million euros.

Below these three demons, ranked fourth is the fast winger Bale from Wales.

They lost the Champions League and failed to qualify for the World Cup finals.

This resulted in a drop in Bale's value from 90 million euros last year to 80 million euros.

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

Moreover, the Brazilian team suffered a crushing defeat to the German team, which backfired on the hype about Neymar and the Brazilian team before the game.

Affected by this, Neymar's value increased less than expected, only 70 million euros, ranking fifth for the time being.

Ranked sixth to tenth are Di Maria with 65 million euros, Iniesta with 65 million euros, James Rodriguez 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 value of Lin Quan’s two teammates, Kroos, has increased to 50 million euros.

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

Although Reus performed well last season and unfortunately missed the World Cup, his value still skyrocketed by 20 million euros to 55 million euros.

This is also the most valuable German player currently.

It is also because of this that many German media have lamented that if Reus had not been injured and participated in this World Cup in a healthy state.

Then maybe the German team would not lose so badly in the match against the Spanish team! The German transfer market has a great influence on the football world. Many clubs will use the player values ​​given by the German transfer market as a reference to operate the player transfer.

Therefore, as soon as the latest value ranking list of the German transfer market was announced, it immediately caused heated discussions in the football world.

"Damn, Emperor Lin has reached the top?"

“Is this true or false?”

"A transfer worth 150 million euros, has the German transfer market gone crazy? Is it worth such a high price?"

"Yes, Boss Mei's highest salary was only 135 million, and Emperor Lin is only 18 years old, and he has already reached 150 million. Is this fair?"

"Take a look at inflation. If Boss Mei was five years younger, his net worth wouldn't necessarily be lower than Emperor Lin's!"

"Indeed, seeing the transfer fees in football this summer makes me feel a little dizzy. It's 70 to 80 million euros, which was the highest transfer record in football ten years ago!"

"Yes, when Zidane transferred to Real Madrid, it was only 77.5 million euros, which shocked the world at the time!"

"Inflation is really too high. Didn't Paris Saint-Germain offer Lin Huang 200 million euros not long ago? If the deal goes through, Lin Huang will have doubled the current highest transfer record!"

Lin Quan, who is currently on vacation, could not help but complain on social media after learning about the latest value announced by the German transfer market: "Am I that expensive?"

He had previously estimated that his value might increase this time, but he felt that if it could exceed 100 million euros, reaching 110 million or 120 million would be the maximum.

Unexpectedly, the German transfer market was so aggressive that it increased his salary by 80 million euros at once, from the previous 70 million to 150 million.

The rate of improvement is like riding a rocket, it's really too exaggerated.

Countless fans flocked to Lin Quan's complaint.

"It's really expensive. A pound of pork is only 12 yuan now. Your wealth, 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.

Is it okay to calculate your worth in terms of pork?! Although he complained in his heart, Lin Quan couldn't help but convert it.

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

Far from the truth! After the latest transfer market values ​​were announced, they immediately attracted the attention of major clubs.

After seeing Lin Quan's worth, they couldn't help but gasp.

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

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

This means that to buy him, it would cost at least 200 million euros! No wonder Paris Saint-Germain made a 200 million euro offer, but Manchester City rejected it without any hesitation.

The price, which seems expensive to the outside world, does not reach Manchester City’s psychological bottom line at all.

To take Lin Quan away, I'm afraid they would have to prepare 250 million euros or even more! And there are very few clubs that can come up with 250 million euros at a time, even some old giants can't do it.

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

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

Except for a few wealthy clubs, other teams, even wealthy ones, cannot afford such a big contract.

If they forcibly buy Lin Quan, their own financial and salary systems might collapse.

However, there are a few exceptions.

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

Although the first two did not have investment from the Middle Eastern consortium, with the foundation accumulated over the years and by selling some of the team's players, they have the hope of raising that much money.

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

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

You can’t buy Lin Quan with 200 million, and I’m afraid you can’t buy him with 250 million either.

As for Ronaldo and Messi, they also have no interest in joining Paris Saint-Germain.

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

For example, Neymar!

Neymar is only worth 70 million euros. If Paris Saint-Germain pays 150 million euros to buy him, will Barcelona let him go? Paris Saint-Germain is ready to give it a try. What if it succeeds?

…

After facing the reality and knowing that they could not buy Lin Quan in a short time, the major giants began to settle for the second best and set their sights on poaching Lin Quan's teammates.

Manchester City has several young and strong players in its team, and they are the focus of attention of all the major clubs.

For example, Kroos!

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

During the winter break last year, I mocked Manchester City for being a team with a lot of money. Now I regret it so much.

Considering Kroos' performance in the World Cup, 50 million euros is not expensive at all.

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

And Manchester City may not necessarily sell! Regardless of whether Manchester City sells or not, let's make an offer first and see.

Real Madrid took the lead.

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

Although James Rodriguez was bought, he is an attacking midfielder and is not the same type of player as Xabi Alonso.

As for Casemiro, who they found from Brazil, he was loaned to Porto for training this season and cannot be relied upon for the time being.

So, Real Madrid offered Manchester City 55 million euros in the hope of taking Kroos away.

This price is naturally unattractive to Manchester City. They spent 50 million euros to buy Kroos. Wouldn't it be crazy to sell Kroos just to make 5 million euros? After receiving Real Madrid's offer, Manchester City chose to reject it without hesitation.

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

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

After receiving an invitation from Florentino, the president of Real Madrid, Walker gladly went to Madrid and had a secret talk with the other party.
