Chapter 399 Hot Discussion in Football: Where is Lin Huang going?
It has been a week since the Champions League final, but the impact of this game is still growing.
The transfer period is getting closer and closer. In order to compete with the powerful Manchester City, the major giants in European football are gearing up to make good use of the transfer period this summer and improve their own strength as much as possible.
It seems an arms race is inevitable!
However, the instigators, Lin Quan and Guardiola, seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. After Manchester City won the championship, they disappeared without a trace. No one saw them for a whole week.
This inevitably led to a lot of rumors from the outside world. Some gossip claimed that after reaching the peak of his career in Manchester City and winning various honors, Lin Quan had lost interest in the Premier League, was in contact with top teams in other leagues, and would leave Manchester City this summer.
Although the official of Manchester City Club came out to refute the rumor at the first time, saying that they still have a three-year contract with Lin Quan and the cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant, Lin Quan will not leave Manchester City this summer.
But this kind of rumor-refuting cannot convince everyone at all.
If it is true as Manchester City Club said, why not let the players themselves come out to express their opinions? In the football world, this kind of rumor-making and rumor-refuting is nothing new. Everyone is not a three-year-old child, so naturally they will not believe it easily.
As time went by, the outside world became more and more convinced of the rumors that Lin Quan was going to transfer away.
Barcelona is about to hold elections this summer. Laporta, who has the best chance of winning, has stated in front of the media countless times that once he is re-elected as the president of the Barcelona club, the first thing he will do is to bring Lin Quan, the wandering La Masia treasure, back to Camp Nou.
This campaign manifesto was very popular among Barcelona fans. The scene of Lin Quan scoring four goals in the Champions League final and defeating Barcelona single-handedly is still vivid in people's minds.
After this battle, Barcelona fans not only did not hate Lin Quan, but they all loved him even more deeply.
This is the treasure of my La Masia. If he can return to Barcelona, my Barcelona will definitely take back everything it has lost.
For this reason, since the transfer rumors about Lin Quan came out, Barcelona fans have been leaving messages on Lin Quan’s social media account in recent days, earnestly pleading with him to return to Camp Nou.
Generally speaking, campaign promises cannot be trusted.
But Laporta seems to be serious!
Because he has received news that the Qatari consortium plans to make a major signing this summer.
Their first choice targets are players of the level of Lin Quan and Messi, but these players are extremely valuable and their teams will not let them go easily, so their hopes of success are very low.
Therefore, this year, in addition to making an offer to Manchester City as usual, the Qatari consortium also made a hidden offer to Barcelona. They plan to buy Neymar for 150 million euros.
Because he did not win the Champions League this year, Neymar's performance was not as dazzling and his value was not as high as it should have been.
However, considering that he is still very young, he has great potential for future growth.
Therefore, for the Qataris who are not short of money, spending 150 million to buy a growing young superstar is not a big loss.
After all, if they want to make a name for themselves, they have to buy some really big-name players.
In the entire football world, apart from players of the level of Lin Quan, Messi and Ronaldo, there are not many players left who can meet their requirements.
All in all, Neymar is obviously the most suitable candidate.
After Laporta learned the news, he started to become interested.
If Barcelona has the opportunity to bring back Lin Quan, then there will be no problem in selling Neymar.
After all, Lin Quan is worth a lot of money. Even if the player himself agrees to return to Barcelona, Barcelona cannot get what they want without spending a penny.
It is impossible to take Lin Quan away from Manchester City without paying 200 to 300 million euros.
Although Barcelona is a top club, its foundation is not as strong as its arch-rival Real Madrid.
But even for Real Madrid, if they want to buy a player of Lin Quan's worth, they have to tighten their belts and sell everything they have.
Therefore, if the Qataris are really interested in Neymar, Barcelona should not try to take advantage of them and make some money from them to pay for Lin Quan's redemption.
If the player agrees to the transfer, Laporta feels that 200-300 million euros should be enough for Barcelona.
Selling Neymar can raise 150 million, and they can raise some more by themselves. If that doesn't work, they can sell some more players, and they can always raise 100-200 million.
As long as Lin Quan is bought, Barcelona's combat effectiveness will be greatly increased. Not only will the team's strength be greatly improved, but the income from commercial sponsorship will also be greatly increased.
Laporta sent people to inquire, and after Lin Quan joined Manchester City, he brought a large number of sponsorship contracts to Manchester City.
In addition to the transfer payments from the Abu Dhabi consortium itself, there are also a large number of sponsors from China.
Although Lin Quan is not a Chinese citizen, he is a Chinese player after all.
For many Chinese fans, they would naturally prefer to support a Chinese player with yellow skin, black hair, or even a blood relationship with them.
Especially since players like this did not voluntarily give up their nationality, but were taken away by adoptive parents. If the Spanish Football Association had not acted quickly, Lin Quan would have had the opportunity to play for the national team.
In addition, he is the best active player in football and his commercial value is not comparable to that of ordinary players.
Buying him back not only buys immediate combat power and guarantees the team's performance in the next ten years, but also buys a cash cow!
If such a deal can really be done, it will definitely be a good deal.
The most important thing is that the output of talent in La Masia youth training camp began to decrease or even decline.
If Lin Quan, who is known as the genius of La Masia, can really return home and go back to Camp Nou, it will surely become a good story.
It can also further enhance the reputation of La Masia Youth Training Camp, attract more young talents from all over the world to join La Masia Youth Training Camp, and provide Barcelona with a steady stream of talents!
After all, Laporta has been the president of Barcelona, so he does have a vision for long-term development.
Laporta's campaign slogan is very popular among the people, and Barcelona fans are very dissatisfied with the team's loss of the Champions League and the treble under Bartomeu's rule.
So in the final election in June, Laporta was successfully elected as the new president of Barcelona with an overwhelming advantage.
As soon as he took office, he began to prepare to clean up the club's lineup, sell some players, and prepare funds to buy Lin Quan.
Barcelona has already started preparing, how could Real Madrid remain indifferent?
Changing a coach is like changing a knife. After clearing out Ancelotti, Real Madrid welcomed a new coach - Zidane.
Zidane had been to the Etihad Stadium many times to gather intelligence, so he was impressed by Lin Quan's performance.
After receiving the strong support from the club's chairman, Zidane also plans to join the army chasing Lin Quan.
If Lin Quan can be successfully brought back to the Bernabeu, it will not only further increase Real Madrid's chances of qualifying for the Champions League, but will also greatly humiliate their arch-rivals Barcelona.
Real Madrid is very happy to do this kind of thing that kills two birds with one stone! In addition to the La Liga duo and old acquaintance Paris Saint-Germain, the Old Lady in Serie A, who was eliminated by Manchester City in the Champions League, also fell in love with Lin Quan.
Italians are actually very proud in their bones. Serie A was once known as the Little World Cup. At that time, more than half of the world's top players played in Serie A.
Serie A at that time was extremely prosperous, dominating the whole of Europe and was a unique existence.
Although they have declined over the years, the heritage of these wealthy families still remains.
Moreover, in recent years, there have been many talented people emerging in Italy, and they don’t really care much about the talents emerging from outside.
However, after experiencing the painful experience of being defeated and eliminated from the Champions League for five consecutive years, the Serie A teams have come to their senses.
If they want to regain the glory of their Serie A heyday, continuing to play behind closed doors is absolutely not an option.
The two Milan giants are now mired in debt and are in dire straits. Even if they have lofty ambitions, they are powerless to do anything.
But the resurgent Old Lady is different. Having won four consecutive Serie A titles, they are undoubtedly the face of Serie A.
Moreover, compared with the two Milan giants, Juventus' financial situation is much better.
Therefore, after dominating the domestic league and wanting to go further in the Champions League, the Old Lady was deeply stimulated after seeing the strength of Manchester City in the Champions League and planned to make some big signings this summer.
Of course, another key reason supporting them to make big signings is that Manchester United has extended an olive branch to Juventus' midfield core Pogba, calling on the former Manchester United player to return to Old Trafford.

Juventus has communicated with Pogba and his agent and has confirmed that it is difficult to keep him.
Therefore, they decided to rip off Manchester United. A wealthy club like Manchester United that spends money like water would have to pay hundreds of millions of euros to take Pogba away, right? With these hundreds of millions of euros, Juventus could still raise enough money to buy Lin Quan by using their own resources.
If that doesn't work, I can pay in installments, but I don't know if Manchester City will accept it...
If Lin Quan's price wasn't so high, there would probably be more wealthy clubs in the top five leagues wanting to sign him.
There is only one reason why other wealthy families are indifferent - they are poor!
After Paris Saint-Germain's trial, everyone has an idea of Lin Quan's value.
During last year's World Cup, his market value reached 250 million euros. This year, he led the team to successfully defend the Champions League title and had such an incredible performance in the final. His market value will definitely continue to skyrocket.
In this case, it would be difficult to get him even with 250 million euros.
For 99 percent of the teams, they can't afford that much money.
Some teams are not even worth that much money, and even if they are sold, they still cannot afford Lin Quan.
Therefore, for most teams, they can only act as spectators and helplessly watch these top giants compete for Lin Quan.
Among them was Professor Wenger, who sighed countless times.
"Alas, one step late, every step late!"
Stroking the trophy in his arms, Wenger sighed softly.
In the FA Cup final, Arsenal finally won the championship as they wished.
After winning the championship, Wenger felt like a burden had been lifted from his mind and he became a lot more relaxed.
It's not just him, it's the same with the players at Arsenal.
The FA Cup championship is of great value. By winning this championship, they can finally effectively fight back against the humiliation of the outside world that they have not won a championship for ten years.
After getting rid of a worry, Wenger's mentality became more peaceful.
He is old, and the old guys of his generation have almost all retired, and it is obvious that he himself cannot hold on for much longer.
Therefore, in the last few years of his career, he plans to do as much as possible for Arsenal so that his successor can better complete the transition after his retirement.
In line with the principle of doing great things with little money, Wenger once again set his sights on the young talents brought to him by scouts.
As expected, training a little demon is the most enjoyable thing...
…
Transfer rumors were rife outside, but Lin Quan himself had no intention of responding at all, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.
This made the outside world very curious: Where did Lin Quan go?
At this time, he was no longer in Europe. Together with Guardiola, his whole family went on a trip to the Far East.
In order to avoid being disturbed, the group traveled quietly and set off the day after the Champions League ended.
Such a swift action caught the reporters who were waiting at the door in Manchester and Barcelona off guard. They had no idea that the person they were looking for had already arrived in a country thousands of miles away.
This time, in addition to coming for vacation, I also came to fulfill a wish.
Standing outside an old and dilapidated welfare home, Guardiola sighed and said to Lin Quan: "This is where Serra and I adopted you."
Lin Quan nodded and looked up at the orphanage in front of him which looked very dilapidated. It still looked the same as it did in the past, but the years were ruthless and had left deep marks on it.
"Actually, I should have brought you here last year, but something delayed me."
When they adopted Lin Quan, Guardiola and Serra agreed to bring him back to find his relatives after he came of age.
Last year Lin turned 18, but was unable to go for various reasons.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if they can't find me. After all, they abandoned me back then, and they automatically gave up their parent-child relationship with me. You two are my only parents in this world."
Lin Quan didn't take the matter of finding his roots very seriously. It was impossible for him to have any deep feelings for someone who had never raised him and abandoned him.
The staff here have been replaced several times a long time ago. They don’t remember who he is and can’t find his biological parents. With this result, if he had come a year earlier, it would not have been any different.
The group left the welfare home and went to the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau in a nearby town to inquire. However, because they did not know the specific names of Lin Quan's parents and the time was too long ago, they tried hard but found nothing.
Before leaving, Lin Quan donated 1 million yuan to the welfare home to settle a cause and effect.
He was once one of these adopted children, and he hoped that this money could help them! After leaving the welfare home, the group took a plane to the capital.
Over there, a friendly match between Spain and China was waiting for them.
