Chapter 416: Paris Saint-Germain strikes again, shocking the football world with 280 million

Paris, Paris Saint-Germain.

As the first club to pursue Lin Quan, Paris Saint-Germain is also the least confident club.

They had been rejected by Lin Quan several times. Even though they prepared more money this time, they still felt that the hope of recruiting Lin Quan was slim.

A superstar of this level is not a star who can be bought with money like Cavani and Thiago Silva.

Although Cavani, his sister-in-law and others are very strong, there are people in the football world who can reach their level, but there are fewer of them.

However, as a superstar, there are only a handful of players in the football world who can compare with Lin Quan, and as the number one player in today's football world, there is no one who can surpass Lin Quan.

Paris Saint-Germain has never bought such a player before and has no idea how much it would cost to buy such a player.

Therefore, although they were the most active bidder this summer, they did not think they could really impress Lin Quan and bring him from Manchester City.

Therefore, while pursuing Lin Quan, they privately began to contact Barcelona's superstar Neymar, intending to use Neymar as a backup for Lin Quan.

Once the plan to recruit Lin Quan fails, we will immediately switch to the work of recruiting Neymar.

Compared with Lin Quan's transfer difficulty, Neymar's transfer difficulty is much lower.

After all, the contract signed between Barcelona and him contains a clear penalty clause. As long as they pay the penalty clause, they can bypass the club and contact the player directly.

Once they reach an agreement with Neymar's agent, Barcelona will be unable to do anything and can only watch them take Neymar away.

So, the key now is, is Neymar willing to leave? "Well, what does Neymar's agent say?"

"Neymar's agent put forward several conditions, saying that as long as we meet their conditions, they will persuade the player to accept our offer and come to Paris to play."

Hearing this, the people at Paris Saint-Germain breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the conditions proposed by the other party are certainly not easy to meet, as long as they are willing to propose the conditions, it means that the transfer is possible.

They are not afraid of the other party making conditions, but they are afraid that the other party will be like Lin Quan and not even give them a chance to meet. In that case, there will be no hope.

Neymar's side proposed three main conditions. One is salary and benefits, including annual salary, image rights, bonuses and the like.

Although Neymar's status in the football world is not as high as the three superstars, he is now basically the number one under the three superstars, so his salary and benefits must not be too low.

Otherwise, it would not match his status at all. After all, in Neymar's view, leaving Barcelona and switching to Paris Saint-Germain to play football is a complete condescension.

After all, Barcelona is a top club, while Paris Saint-Germain is just a nouveau riche. Moreover, La Liga is one of the best leagues in the world, while Ligue 1 is at the bottom of the five major leagues and is even showing a trend of being overtaken by the Portuguese Super League.

By leaving La Liga to play in Ligue 1, Neymar's popularity and exposure will be greatly reduced, and his commercial revenue will also be affected, all of which will require Paris Saint-Germain to compensate him in terms of salary and bonuses.

The second is the status within the team. To attract Neymar to join, we must ensure that he becomes the boss of the locker room and has the top status in the team.

Otherwise, Neymar might as well stay in Barcelona honestly. Messi is now 28 years old. After playing for another four or five years, it is time for him to step down. As the prince of Barcelona, ​​Neymar can naturally succeed Messi and become Barcelona's star player after his death.

If Neymar didn't want to prove himself as soon as possible, there would be no need for him to take the risk of leaving Barcelona.

Paris Saint-Germain naturally has no problem with this request.

Since Paris Saint-Germain spent a lot of money to buy Neymar, they naturally want to train him as their top player.

The third request made by Neymar is that they will not make any statement on the transfer, and everything needs to be handled by Paris Saint-Germain.

During this process, they will not do anything like boycotting training or playing games in order to cooperate with Paris Saint-Germain.

Although Neymar did not stay in Barcelona for a long time, he spent two very happy years here and did not want to fall out with the club.

The meaning of this request is that Paris Saint-Germain should bargain with Barcelona on its own. If they can bargain down the price, that is Paris Saint-Germain's ability.

If you can't cut him down, then just pay the penalty fee to shut Barcelona up and force them to leave.

Given Barcelona's emphasis on Neymar and the MSN system that Barcelona cannot do without.

As long as they still have ideas about the Champions League title, they will never let Neymar leave.

Therefore, Paris Saint-Germain does not need to try to bargain, they can only activate the penalty clause to take Neymar away.

Fortunately, Neymar has not renewed his contract with Barcelona at this time, so his contract is still the initial contract signed in May 2013.

In the initial contract, Neymar's penalty clause was only 190 million euros, which is much lower than the 220 million euros after the renewal.

For Paris Saint-Germain, if they make a move at this time, they can save 30 million euros, which is enough to buy a good star player.

Paris Saint-Germain is wealthy and powerful, and after seeing the three conditions proposed by the other party, it immediately agreed.

Perhaps it would be difficult for other clubs to spend 190 million euros to buy players, but for Paris Saint-Germain, which is so poor that it only has money left, this is actually the easiest thing.

"Well, at least we won't have nothing to harvest this summer!"

Everything on Neymar's side has been basically finalized. All that remains is to pay the penalty fee to Barcelona and bring the player to the Parc des Princes for his debut.

However, before that, Paris Saint-Germain was not in a hurry to act.

Obviously, they still want to struggle a little longer to see if they can buy Lin Quan as well.

"Perhaps for other clubs, it is impossible to buy two superstars at the same time, but for us in Paris, this is not a problem at all. We have plenty of money, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem."

But buying Lin Quan doesn’t seem to be a matter that can be solved with money, which is very worrying.

Manchester City has already rejected Paris Saint-Germain's first offer, and they have not had any contact with the player himself.

In this case, they can either continue to increase their offer or try to contact the player privately.

But Paris Saint-Germain is a French team, and the owner behind it is a wealthy man from Qatar. They don't have any connections or relationships in Spain, so it's impossible for them to meet the players in person as easily as it is for the local giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.

As for contacting the players' agents, the other party did not give them this opportunity at all.

So there was only one way left - keep raising the money! So, on July 10, Paris Saint-Germain made another effort and mustered up the courage to submit a second offer to Manchester City.

This offer added 30 million euros to the original offer. Yes, it was the money saved from Neymar.

After adding these 30 million euros, Paris Saint-Germain's offer has reached an incredible 280 million euros.

After receiving the offer from Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City was also shocked.

"Crazy, really a bunch of lunatics. Do the Qataris not regard money as money? Spending 280 million euros just to buy a player?"

Although they are also called nouveau riche, and although they are backed by large Middle Eastern conglomerates.

But compared with the Qataris who are generous and spend money like water, Manchester City still feels inferior.

It's really incomparable!

Since the establishment of Manchester City, there has not been a transfer fee of more than 50 million! The most expensive player they bought was Kroos, who was bought from Bayern for 50 million in the winter break of 2013.

As for Lin Quan, he was a player signed by Manchester City without any transfer fee, and Manchester City did not spend a penny on him.

Who would have thought that this player who was signed for zero transfer fee could now earn 280 million euros just by reselling him! This is too outrageous!

The news that Paris Saint-Germain had raised its offer again spread like wildfire. When people learned that Paris Saint-Germain offered a sky-high transfer fee of 280 million euros to attract Lin Quan, they were all shocked.

"280 million euros, should I say that Paris Saint-Germain are stupid and have a lot of money, or do they have a keen eye and really think that Lin Quan is worth that much money?"

"At this price, I'm afraid I can buy most of the teams in the five major leagues!"

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

"The current transfer fee record in football is only 100 million euros. If Lin Huang's deal can be successful, it will immediately break the transfer fee record in football!"

"And once this record is set, I'm afraid no one will be able to break it in the next ten years!"

"A transfer fee of 280 million, except for teams backed by wealthy people in the Middle East, no traditional club can afford it, right?"

"Indeed, I feel that even Real Madrid, Barcelona and Rennes cannot afford so much money!"

"Alas, Manchester City bought a lot of players in the transfer market in the past few years, which has already driven up the players' values ​​a lot. Now Paris Saint-Germain has gone even further and inflated the bubble further."

"Who says it's not true? Players' values ​​and salaries are rising, but operating income can't keep up with the salary increase. If this continues, the small and medium-sized clubs in the football world may not be able to afford it."

"Let alone small and medium-sized clubs, which of the big clubs is not facing losses?"

"That's right. Only the Bundesliga clubs have slightly better financial reports. Almost all the giants in other leagues are losing money. Real Madrid and Barcelona are losing the most. Thanks to their large number of members, they can barely hold on. If it were other clubs, they would have been dragged down by this salary system long ago."

The outside world is worried about the rapid increase in player values ​​and wages, and believes that this will be detrimental to the healthy development of the league.

Therefore, many people think that Paris Saint-Germain’s offer is not a good thing.

If this transfer is really completed, the transfer fee ceiling in football in the future will not be Ronaldo's 96 million euros, but Lin Quan's 280 million euros.

With Lin Quan's example, the transfer fee in football will officially reach the 100 million yuan threshold. In the future, it will be basically impossible to buy a better player without spending 100 million yuan.

So, except for the fans of Paris Saint-Germain, almost no other fans want this deal to be reached.

Paris Saint-Germain fans don’t know at this time that the club has already privately secured Neymar.

When they learned that the club had increased its offer again and wanted to bring a true superstar to the team, they were all very excited.

Although Manchester City and Lin Quan have not yet made a statement, many people feel that no club can refuse this offer.

In addition to offering Manchester City a sky-high transfer fee of 280 million euros, Paris Saint-Germain also prepared a very sincere contract for Lin Quan.

They offered Lin Quan a five-year contract with an annual salary of 35 million euros.

In addition to this super high annual salary, they also prepared a signing fee of 100 million euros and a loyalty bonus of 250 million euros for Lin Quan.

If Lin Quan really goes to Paris Saint-Germain and fulfills this contract, he will be able to get a total of 625 million euros from Paris Saint-Germain in these five years, an average of 105 million euros per year.

This is much higher than the treatment at Manchester City! Of course, if Lin Quan is really willing to come, Paris Saint-Germain will not buy Neymar again.

After all, they promised Neymar a salary of up to 30 million euros, and due to UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations, they can't afford to support these two people.

Lin Quan didn't know about the contract Paris Saint-Germain had prepared for him, and even if he knew, he wouldn't have any interest in it.

In his previous life, Messi did not have a good time in Paris Saint-Germain. The fans here would boo their own players in their own home stadium and had no respect for the players at all.

And Messi was not booed because of his poor performance, but because of the national team's affairs.

With the previous experience of Messi, Lin Quan does not have a good impression of Paris Saint-Germain. Three years later in the World Cup in Russia, Spain is very likely to face the rising French team on the field.

If he really went to Paris Saint-Germain, and if Spain defeated France to win the championship, he would be the one who was booed.

Moreover, Messi only signed a two-year contract with the other party because of his age, and he could leave at any time when the two-year contract expires.

But Paris Saint-Germain's contract with Lin Quan is five years, and in the year of the World Cup, he still has two years left on his contract.

By then, he won't be able to leave as gracefully as Messi.

Therefore, it is best not to jump into a fire pit like Paris Saint-Germain from the beginning.

In addition, the Qatari consortium behind Paris Saint-Germain also left a bad impression on Lin Quan.

Although both are consortiums from the Middle East, the Abu Dhabi consortium is much more professional.

They are taking steady steps in the development of football.

On the other hand, the Qatari consortium came with a political mission. Their main purpose was to promote the Qatar World Cup seven years later, so they were eager for quick success and instant benefits for the development of the club.

They only think about buying big-name stars to increase their popularity and expand their influence, without caring whether the team's lineup is reasonable or not, and have no long-term plans at all.

Paris Saint-Germain of later generations gathered three top attackers, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, but was reluctant to spend money to improve the backcourt configuration, resulting in the team being top-heavy and unable to fight tough battles.

This top-heavy way of building a team is simply the behavior of an amateur.

Do you really think you can win the game by piling up superstars in the frontcourt?

Don't they know that football is a team sport?

At that time, the Qatari consortium had bought Paris Saint-Germain for more than ten years. How could they not know? Such unprofessional behavior can only mean that they are not serious or do not take it seriously at all! Lin Quan has no interest in Paris Saint-Germain. On the weekend, he went to the La Masia Youth Training Camp as scheduled and met his teammates in the national team. Even Xavi, who had announced his departure from Barcelona, ​​came to the Youth Training Camp.

In addition to these teammates, he also met Cruyff, the founder of La Masia youth training camp.
