Chapter 419: Football is in chaos

Lin Quan was also very surprised when he learned that Neymar had transferred to Paris Saint-Germain.

It was not surprising for him that Neymar would go to Paris Saint-Germain. What was surprising was that he went there so early! In the timeline before he traveled through time, Neymar went to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, but now it is only 2015, which means the timeline has been advanced by 2 years.

"It's a mess, everything is a mess!"

Thinking of Pogba who returned to Manchester United a year early, Lin Quan couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

It seems that the butterfly effect I brought about has begun to have an increasingly greater impact.

"Barcelona were very competitive in the Champions League because of the MSN combination. Now that Neymar has left the team, it will be very difficult for them to compete for the Champions League again."

Neymar's departure is a heavy loss for Barcelona.

Although Barcelona has always wanted to bring Lin Quan back to Camp Nou, in addition to pinning their hopes on Lin Quan, they also have Neymar as a backup.

Originally, after Messi got old, if Lin Quan did not return, Neymar would take over and replace Messi as the core of Barcelona.

However, now, this future core has been poached by the Qataris in advance, which has disrupted Barcelona's painstaking plans.

Barcelona must consider Messi's successor as soon as possible!

According to the original timeline, after being caught off guard by Neymar's departure, Barcelona hurriedly bought Dembele and Coutinho at high prices, hoping to fill the vacancy left by Neymar.

However, the performance of these two players at Barcelona did not meet the prior expectations, and the money Barcelona spent on them was essentially wasted.

Afterwards, Barcelona, ​​having learned from their mistakes, set their sights on famous stars and once again spent a high price to buy Griezmann, the core of Atletico Madrid.

As a result, Griezmann also had difficulty adapting to the local environment in Barcelona and his performance was far worse than when he was in Atletico Madrid.

After Neymar left the team, Barcelona's lack of planning and indiscriminate buying of players completely emptied Barcelona's assets and caused Barcelona to be heavily in debt, which laid the groundwork for Barcelona to drive Messi away in the future.

I don’t know if these things will still happen in this time and space.

…

Neymar's transfer is not just a matter for Barcelona. The impact it brings has affected many teams in the five major leagues.

As for Real Madrid, after learning that Neymar had really transferred to Paris Saint-Germain, Florentino's attitude towards Ronaldo immediately changed.

When Barcelona's MSN combination had not been broken up, even if Ronaldo stayed in Real Madrid, they could only be on par with Barcelona and it was difficult to surpass the opponent.

But now it’s different. Barcelona’s MSN combination has been ruined. If Ronaldo doesn’t leave, Real Madrid will definitely be able to suppress Barcelona in the league with the BBC combination!

Thinking of this, Florentino called Mendes again, and changed his previous cold attitude to become extremely enthusiastic.

He told Mendes that contract renewal and even salary increase could be discussed, and hoped that Mendes would not take Ronaldo to other teams.

Mendes seemed to have anticipated Real Madrid's change of attitude.

In fact, Paris Saint-Germain is one of Ronaldo's potential next club.

Mendes has been visiting Paris Saint-Germain quite often recently, so he naturally knows the impact of Neymar joining Paris Saint-Germain.

After all, there are not many teams that can afford to buy Ronaldo. Paris Saint-Germain, the team most likely to buy him, has now bought Neymar and certainly has no budget to buy Ronaldo.

Therefore, there are only two remaining destinations for Ronaldo: Bayern and Juventus.

There might have been a Manchester United originally, but after Manchester United bought Pogba, they had no money left.

Mendes has contacted Bayern and Juventus. Bayern's attitude towards Ronaldo is rather indifferent and they seem to have little interest.

With the strength of Bayern's current lineup, they are enough to compete for the Champions League trophy even without a superstar.

As for dominating the league, this has long been no difficulty for Bayern. There is no need for a superstar to increase the team's salary burden or even collapse the team's salary system.

Moreover, Ronaldo has a bad temper. If he comes, Bayern is worried that there will be big problems in their own team's locker room. In that case, the team's combat effectiveness may decrease instead of increase.

Bayern's refusal means that Juventus is the only potential next club for Ronaldo.

However, Juventus was madly pursuing Lin Quan at this time, and they would not give up until they got Lin Quan. Although they were tempted by Ronaldo, they put him behind Lin Quan in priority.

Only when they are sure that they cannot pursue Lin Quan will they consider Ronaldo.

But if this is the case, there will definitely not be much time left in the transfer period, and both parties will have very little time to handle the transfer matters. If the transfer period is delayed and Ronaldo has not left the team, it will be very embarrassing for the player and the club.

Just like De Gea was unable to complete the final procedures before the transfer window closed due to Real Madrid's fax machine.

So he had to stay in Manchester United even though he had said goodbye to his teammates in advance.

Ronaldo is a superstar, he must have face. Juventus's behavior of having their cake and eating it too is obviously disrespectful to the players.

If it were in the past, Ronaldo would definitely put them on the blacklist and would never indulge them.

But now, Ronaldo can't be tough anymore.

After Mendes ran into obstacles everywhere, Ronaldo realized that times have changed.

In today's football world, it is no longer the time for him and Messi to be the two greatest players and take turns to reach the top.

After the rising star Lin Quan emerged, these old guys have gradually been squeezed out of the center of the stage and lost a lot of spotlight.

It is exactly in line with the old saying: You only see the new people laughing, but not the old people crying.

It's not just the stars that are like this, isn't it the same for the players as well?

Therefore, when Mendes learned that Real Madrid's attitude had changed and was willing to continue negotiating with them, he felt relieved.

If Real Madrid's attitude is as cold as before, then they will be a bit embarrassed. It will be even more embarrassing if they can't leave.

Therefore, Ronaldo and Mendes also took advantage of the situation and both sides became harmonious, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened.

…

After Lin Quan returned to Manchester, he resumed training.

Upon learning that Lin Quan had returned to the team early, Kante, who was on vacation, rushed over from France to meet Lin Quan.

"Brother Lin, I..."

When Kant saw Lin Quan, he looked embarrassed and seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong? Are you having any trouble?"

Lin Quan glanced at Kant. This guy was almost writing "I have something on my mind" on his forehead.

Kante is indeed worried, and he is facing a very important decision moment in his life: because of his outstanding performance in the league and the Champions League last year, Kante, who joined the team during the winter break, has attracted attention from the Premier League and even the top five leagues.

After the transfer window opened, Chelsea offered 30 million euros in the hope of signing him and bringing him back to Stamford Bridge.

Although Mourinho is gone, the iron-blooded defensive spirit in the Blues remains.

And Kante is exactly what the Blues need.

Abramovich is a wealthy man and he is always very generous when it comes to such talents.

Compared with the contract offered by Manchester City, Abramovich waved his hand and offered Kante a big contract with a weekly salary of 120,000 pounds.

Kante is just a newcomer and has only played less than half a season in the Premier League.

An annual salary of 7.5 million euros is definitely a very high salary for such a player.

So when the Chelsea contract was placed in front of him, Kante, who was used to being poor, suddenly became at a loss.

7.5 million euros, more money than he had ever seen since he was a child! He really wanted to sign the contract and get this big contract.

Chelsea's contract is for 5 years, which means that as long as he signs the contract, Kante can get at least 37.5 million euros from Chelsea! Such a large sum of money is enough for him to spend until the end of his life.

"Kant, how much do you think you are worth?"

When Lin Quan learned about Kante's question, he couldn't help laughing.

Kante, this kid, lacks a correct understanding of himself! An annual salary of 7.5 million euros does seem to be a lot, but Lin Quan knows that before he traveled through time and space, when Chelsea bought Kante, they offered him an annual salary of 15 million pounds, or 290,000 pounds a week, which is higher than Hazard.

Now Chelsea has only offered a weekly salary of 120,000 pounds, which shows that they do not have enough understanding of Kante's value.

If Kante easily joins Chelsea at this time, he will lose at least 40 to 50 million euros!

"Captain, am I really worth so much money?"

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

Kante was stunned by Lin Quan's promise. 290,000 pounds a week? 15 million pounds a year? Me? Am I really worth that much?

If he didn't know Lin Quan's character, he would have suspected that the other party was joking with him.

"Of course, you have to believe in yourself. Sooner or later you will become the best defensive midfielder on the planet!"

Lin Quan patted Kant on the shoulder and encouraged:

"Once you become the world's best defensive midfielder, all the teams in the world will be eager for you to join them. They will naturally wave money and offer you unimaginable salaries."

Kante suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I understand, just like you now, Captain!"

Well……

Lin Quan was speechless for a moment. After thinking carefully, Kante's understanding seemed to be correct. However, the value and salary of frontcourt players of the same level were higher than those of backcourt players. Even if Kante became the world's number one defensive midfielder, it would be difficult for him to get the same salary as Lin Quan.

After getting the answer from Lin Quan, Kante felt a lot more relaxed.

Although he still coveted the annual salary of 7.5 million, he remembered Lin Quan's words that he would be more valuable in the future.

Seeing that the other party had figured it out, Lin Quan didn't say anything else.

Because when Kante was signed, he was just an unknown player playing for a bottom-ranked team.

Therefore, the contract offered by Manchester City is not high, but since Kante had such an outstanding performance last season, and Chelsea next door has begun to wield a hoe to poach him.

As long as Manchester City club is not a fool, it will definitely renew Kante's contract, increase his salary and retain such a talented player.

Although Kante has wasted several years in low-level teams, he was born in 1991 and is only 24 years old now.

He can still play for Manchester City for at least eight more years.

During this period, Manchester City does not have to worry about the defensive midfielder position.

However, Kante was snatched away by Manchester City in advance, which made Lin Quan very curious. After the tinkerer Ranieri arrived at Leicester City, how would he fill the gap left by the absence of Kante?

…

Kante is not the only one who has been poached by Manchester City.

Kroos, De Bruyne, David Silva and others have received offers from other teams.

Among them, except for Yaya Toure who parted ways peacefully with the team and left the team as a free agent, Manchester City did not sell any of its main players.

However, Nastasic, who had previously appeared in Manchester City's injury-ridden squad, was taken away by Schalke 04 for 10 million euros.

Nastasic is 22 years old this year. After playing for the first team, he has greater ambitions for the future and is no longer willing to continue to be a substitute.

Especially since Manchester City also has a large group of young defenders waiting to take up their posts, his time as a substitute is very limited.

Therefore, he hopes to join a team that can play in the game and is unwilling to waste his life sitting on the bench.

Guardiola readily agreed to this.

Nastasic is okay as a substitute, but his ability is not enough to be a main player.

Since Schalke 04 is willing to buy him, just sell him, otherwise he will become dissatisfied in the team and become a hidden danger in the locker room.

Young players can be sold, but Guardiola is unwilling to sell any of the main players.

As long as Manchester City can continue to maintain their excellent record, they will be able to establish their own Manchester City dynasty.

And Manchester City is not far from this step.

At such a critical moment, Guardiola cannot destroy himself.

However, even if he wanted to keep people, he couldn't stop them from leaving!

There are currently three players in Manchester City who have expressed the idea of ​​leaving the team, one is Navas, one is Milner and the other is Fernandinho.

Navas is getting older and his playing time in the team is getting less and less. Last year, he only played 27 times for the team, including 11 starts.

Although the treatment at Manchester City is good, I can also win many awards here along with my teammates.

But he longs for more playing opportunities and wants to fight on the court as a starter.

But this was obviously impossible, so Navas found Lin Quan and told him about his intention to leave the team.

Navas is Spanish, Lin Quan is the boss of the Spanish gang, and with his relationship with Guardiola, it makes sense for Navas to find him.

After hearing Navas's request, Lin Quan sighed.

The other party's intention to leave is the same as Xavi Garcia's intention to leave last year.

Although keeping Navas will enhance the team's bench strength and allow Manchester City to cope with multi-line operations more easily.

But since the other party was determined to leave, Lin Quan couldn't force him to stay.

After all, if he continues to stay in Manchester City, he is destined not to get everything he wants.

Lin Quan is also very clear that Guardiola does not value Navas, and he is likely to play even less next season.

Rather than letting him continue to sit on the bench and accumulate more dissatisfaction and conflicts, it is better to let him leave.

"If you've thought it over, go ahead. I'll say hello to the coach!"

"Thank you, Captain!"

Navas is very grateful. He is now 30 years old. If he leaves the team at this time, he can get a big contract of at least 3 years in the new team.

If it is delayed for another year, I am afraid I can only get a 1+1 contract.

This is very disadvantageous for him. After all, who doesn't want to earn more pension before retiring? (End of this chapter)
