Chapter 418: Breaking the football transfer fee record, shocking transfer in the football world
The Cruyff incident was just a small episode. This summer, people's focus has always been on the news of star transfers.
Although the contract renewal issue with Lin Quan has not yet been negotiated, Manchester City Club's response to the transfer news involving Lin Quan remains tough.
No matter who it is, they will reject any offer for Lin Quan.
After being rejected again, Paris Saint-Germain finally faced the reality and quickly reached their first deal.
On July 21, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United reached an agreement to sign Argentine winger Di Maria for 63 million euros.
Di Maria moved from Real Madrid to Manchester United last summer for 75 million euros.
However, in the 2014-2015 season, Di Maria had obvious problems adapting to the Premier League. His statistics dropped drastically and he was constantly injured. He was no longer as brave as he was in Real Madrid.
This caused great disappointment to Manchester United, and the players also hated the Premier League football style and Manchester's climate.
So, at Di Maria's strong request, Manchester United had to let him go.
Including the salary paid to Di Maria, they lost 20 to 30 million euros on Di Maria this year.
But considering that Di Maria cannot adapt to the style of the Premier League, if he is forced to stay, if he fails to play well, the player will most likely be wasted and will not be able to be sold even if you want to.
As for the failure of this transfer, the Red Devils fans naturally blamed Van Gaal.
Looking at the strong rise of Manchester City next door and then looking at their own team, Manchester United fans all miss the days when Ferguson was there.
That was an era when they dominated the Premier League and won the European Cup! Unfortunately, all of this is gone.
Sir Alex Ferguson has only been retired for two years, but Manchester United feels like a different team and no longer feels like the old Red Devils.
Therefore, some Red Devils fans even called for Sir Alex Ferguson to come back and lead Manchester United out of the predicament.
It’s also retirement, didn’t Bayern also invite Heynckes out in times of crisis?
And judging from Bayern's record last season, the effect is quite good.
Since Heynckes can come out, why can't Sir Alex Ferguson? However, this is just the voice of the fans after all, and Ferguson has no plans to come back.
Moreover, Manchester United has already signed Mourinho. In the new season, the madman will step into Old Trafford as the head coach of the Red Devils.
Paris Saint-Germain, which signed Di Maria, officially withdrew from the protracted battle for Lin Quan.
Now the only three teams still holding on are Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus.
After learning the news from Paris Saint-Germain, both Barcelona and Real Madrid breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Paris Saint-Germain does not have a deep foundation, its financial resources are bottomless. They still feel very pressured to compete with such a rich team.
As for Juventus, although the old lady has a good foundation, their financial resources are a bit lacking. Not to mention the 280 million euros offered by Paris Saint-Germain, even the 250 million euros offered by Real Madrid and Barcelona may not be enough for them.
However, a slap in the face soon happened.
Shortly after Manchester United sold Di Maria, the Red Devils announced another transfer.
On July 25, Manchester United announced on the club's official website that they had reached an agreement with Juventus to buy the Old Lady's midfield core, Paul Pogba, for 89 million pounds, or about 105 million euros.
The transfer came very suddenly. Apart from a few Italian tabloids reporting on the matter, the outside world knew nothing about it.
Therefore, when Manchester United officially announced the transfer, the entire European football world was shocked.
"Fuck, who is Pogba? He can actually break my brother Luo's transfer fee record, it's so scary!"
"Hehehe, I, an old woman, am about to rise up!"
"It's so easy to make money at Manchester United. The player Juventus got for free has helped them earn 100 million in three years. The key is that Pogba is a product of Manchester United's youth training. This makes..."
People are very surprised by the amount of the transfer fee, it is 100 million euros!
It's higher than the price when Ronaldo transferred to Real Madrid! Although it has been 6 years since Ronaldo's transfer, Ronaldo is still a superstar after all, but Pogba?
Apart from fans who follow Serie A, not many people know his name. His influence and even personal strength cannot be compared with that of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Such a player actually broke the transfer fee record held by Ronaldo, which made many fans find it hard to accept.
After all, in their hearts, this throne belongs to the three super giants.
As expected, the players’ values have inflated dramatically.
When thinking of this, many players began to accept the fact that teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona spent 200 to 300 million euros to pursue Lin Quan.
Compared with Pogba, Lin Huang is definitely worth the price.
Things like transfer fee records are not honors or titles. If you don't care about them, then they don't really mean much.
But the current record holder cares very much about this record.
After learning that his transfer fee record was broken by Pogba, Ronaldo was furious.
If this record is broken by Messi or Lin Quan, he will still be angry, but he will not feel unconvinced, because he recognizes the strength of these two people.
But Pogba? Who is he? It seems that they know that Ronaldo cares about these things. After Manchester United officially announced the transfer, some fans immediately made fun of Ronaldo and even ridiculed him: "Haha, Mule fans, come out and take a walk. Aren't you always proud of your master's transfer fee record, saying that the first price is the result of market recognition, so what about now?"
"According to this theory of Ronaldo fans, Lin Huang is undoubtedly the best in football. Look, Paris Saint-Germain has offered Lin Huang 280 million euros, which is almost enough to buy three Cristiano Ronaldos!"
"Lin's inequality: one Lin equals three Luo!"
In recent years, fans of Messi and Ronaldo have been arguing fiercely on the Internet, and it has not been a daily occurrence for fans of both sides to attack each other.
Moreover, compared with the humble and low-key Messi, Ronaldo is more prominent and offends more people.
For example, to this day, Ribery is still upset about the 2013 Ballon d'Or, and his fans naturally don't have any good feelings towards Ronaldo.
"Wait, my brother Luo is a tough guy who doesn't talk much. I'm going to show you a big one right away. I'll show you what the value of the number one player in football is!"
A die-hard fan of Ronaldo who has argued with others on the Internet many times expressed his indignation.
"Haha, the best player in football? Isn't that Lin Huang's? Paris Saint-Germain has offered 280 million euros, how could Ronaldo's value possibly exceed Lin Huang's?"
Someone immediately cited the example of Lin Quan to refute this.
The die-hard fan responded with disdain: "Your so-called No. 1 player in football, so far, the transfer fee is still 0!"
Lin Quan only made one transfer, and there was no transfer fee. From this point of view, he is indeed far worse than Ronaldo.
“Although Lin Huang’s transfer fee is low, his transfer fee is high!”
The reply from a netizen below directly blew up everyone's CPU.
Many people took a long time to figure out what this sentence meant.
"What you said makes a lot of sense. I'm speechless!"
"Haha, I told you that Ronaldo fans should stop using Ronaldo to smear Lin Huang. It's not shameful to admit that Ronaldo is not as good as Lin Huang!"
Lin Quan's transfer fee is indeed zero, but as long as he wants to transfer, this figure will immediately break the football record and reach a height that others will not be able to reach for many years.
…
These two transfers from Manchester United and Juventus made Real Madrid and Barcelona feel nervous.
Originally they thought Juventus was not competitive, but now, they dare not think so.
The Old Lady's dominance in Serie A is still very strong. They have won the league title for four consecutive years this year.
Moreover, the old lady is not a nouveau riche like Paris Saint-Germain, they have a very deep foundation.
Going back decades, Juventus has been a top club in Serie A and even the top five leagues.
The appeal of such a real wealthy club cannot be compared with that of a nouveau riche like Paris Saint-Germain.
What's more, it has been 20 years since Juventus last won the Champions League. After dominating Serie A, they have become ambitious about the Champions League.

Therefore, their pursuit of Lin Quan was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a long-planned one.
Originally, Juventus may have had some financial difficulties, but now, with Manchester United as the scapegoat, and after selling Pogba at a high price, Juventus has become extremely wealthy.
The cash they have now may be more than Real Madrid and Barcelona.
This puts both teams in the Spanish Super League under great pressure.
Therefore, they stepped up their efforts to contact Lin Quan's agent and even the player himself, hoping to reach an agreement with Lin Quan in private as soon as possible and finalize the transfer fee as soon as possible.
They were afraid that if time dragged on, something else would happen.
Lin Quan was annoyed by all the visitors, so he simply left Spain and returned to Manchester early.
As soon as he arrived in Manchester, Lin Quan received a strange phone call.
I thought it was another harassing call from another team, but I didn't expect the caller to be Sun Jihai from China.
Sun Jihai once played for Manchester City. Because of his outstanding performance during his time with the team, he is remembered by many Manchester City fans and is one of Manchester City's legends.
Because he played for Manchester City for six years, Sun Jihai has deep feelings for Manchester City, and Manchester City often invites these celebrities to come back and watch the game.
This time, Sun Jihai called Lin Quan for two main things:
The first thing is about the selection of the England Football Hall of Fame this year. Sun Jihai has been shortlisted for the candidate list and is very likely to be included in the England Hall of Fame.
The second thing is about the group of domestic players going abroad.
After a series of negotiations with the players' clubs, the first list of players going abroad has been released.
There are 22 players in the first batch of players going abroad, most of whom were born in the 1990s.
The Football Association's arrangement for them is to let them play football in Europe as much as possible.
Taking into account their own strength, the Football Association did not aim too high and send them into the top five leagues.
If they really want to do it by force, it is not impossible, but if they go to teams in the top five leagues, or even those in the middle and lower levels, these players will have the fate of a water dispenser manager.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to let them go to the secondary league for training.
As long as there is football to play, the Portuguese Super League, the Dutch Eredivisie, and the Belgian First Division are all acceptable.
Even the secondary leagues of the five major leagues such as the Spanish Second Division, the English Championship, the German Second Division and the Italian Second Division can be accepted.
If that doesn't work, the second-tier leagues of the Portuguese Super League, the Portuguese First Division and the Belgian Second Division, will also work.
In a word, we need to send people out and give them something to play.
However, the Football Association does not have such strong connections in Europe and cannot arrange the destinations of so many players at once.
So they found Lin Quan, hoping that Lin Quan could come forward to help.
Lin Quan felt a little embarrassed when faced with Sun Jihai's request.
It is not easy to send people to the corresponding teams, and it is even more difficult to ensure that they can play in the games.
Although Lin Quan has some connections in the five major leagues, he is not sure that he can get this done.
Sun Jihai also knew that this was a difficult task, so he was very grateful for Lin Quan's help and said that as long as he was willing to help, he would help as much as he could and would never force it.
Lin Quan nodded. He could only do his best.
…
On the Barcelona side, Laporta was busy waving money to chase Lin Quan.
As a result, a fire soon broke out in his own backyard, forcing him to stop paying attention to Lin Quan.
After giving up on signing Lin Quan, Paris Saint-Germain immediately focused its attention on Neymar.
The two sides had reached an agreement before that as long as Paris Saint-Germain activated Neymar's penalty clause, they could take him away from Barcelona.
So, on August 2, Paris Saint-Germain officially made an offer to Barcelona, wanting to take Neymar away for 190 million euros.
Because Florentino had reminded Laporta before and told him that Paris Saint-Germain was contacting Neymar privately, Laporta investigated the matter privately until Neymar's agent did have contact with Paris Saint-Germain.
But the other side did not directly contact the players, so Barcelona had no choice.
Now, the other party has taken the initiative to come to the door to make an offer and directly activated the penalty for breach of contract.
As long as Paris Saint-Germain can convince Neymar to join, Barcelona will not be able to create any obstacles to this transfer.
For a time, the entire football world was paying attention to Neymar's choice!
Especially fans of Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.
Although the scale and value of this transfer is not as great as Lin Quan's transfer, the transfer fee of 190 million is still enough to shock the world.
Moreover, the MSN combination that Barcelona has finally established has only been running for a year. Once Neymar leaves, Barcelona's MSN combination will become history.
Therefore, if this transfer can be completed, it will definitely cause an earthquake in the football world.
Greatly changed the landscape of football!
