Chapter 399 Hot Discussion in Football: Where Is Huang Lin Going?
A week has passed since the Champions League final, but the impact of this game is still expanding.
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 and want to operate well during this summer's transfer period and maximize their own strength.
It looks like there is no way out of an arms race!
However, the two instigators, Lin Quan and Guardiola, seemed to have disappeared from the world. After Manchester City won the championship, they disappeared without a trace. No one saw a trace of them for a whole week.
This has inevitably caused a lot of rumors to spread to the outside world. Some gossips claim that after reaching the peak of his career in Manchester City and winning various honors, Lin Quan has lost interest in the Premier League and is in contact with wealthy teams in other leagues. , will leave Manchester City this summer.
Although Manchester City club officials immediately refuted the rumors, saying that they still have a three-year contract with Lin Quan, the cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant, and Lin Quan will not leave Manchester City this summer.
But this kind of refutation of rumors simply cannot convince everyone.
If it is really what the Manchester City club said, then why not let the players themselves come out and express their position?
In the football world, this kind of rumor-mongering has long been commonplace. Everyone is not a three-year-old child, so naturally they will not believe it easily.
As time goes by, the outside world becomes more and more convinced of the rumors that Lin Quan will transfer and leave.
Barcelona is about to have a general election this summer. Laporta, who has the best chance of winning, has stated countless times in front of the media that once he is re-elected as chairman 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 declaration was very popular with Barcelona fans. On the stage of the Champions League final, Lin Quan performed four goals and defeated Barcelona by himself. The scene is still vivid in his mind.
After this battle, not only did Barcelona fans not hate Lin Quan, but they all fell in love with him even more deeply.
This is the treasure of La Masia. If he can return to Barcelona, Barcelona will definitely regain everything it has lost.
For this reason, since Lin Quan's transfer rumors spread, Barcelona fans have been leaving messages on Lin Quan's social media account in recent days, imploring him to return to the Nou Camp.
Generally speaking, promises made during the election campaign cannot be trusted.
But Laporta seems to mean it!
Because he has received news that the Qatar consortium plans to make a major signing this summer.
Their first choice targets are players of the same level as Lin Quan and Messi. However, such players are extremely valuable and their teams will not let them go easily, so their hope of success is very low.
Therefore, this year, in addition to making the usual offer to Manchester City, the Qatari consortium also made a hidden offer to Barcelona. They planned 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 worth was not as high as it should have been.
However, considering that he is still very young, he has huge potential for future growth.
Therefore, for Qataris who are not short of money, buying a growing young superstar for 150 million is not a big loss.
After all, if they want to make a name for themselves immediately, they must buy some truly big-name players to take over.
In the entire football world, except for players of Lin Quan, Messi and Ronaldo, there are not many players left who can meet their requirements.
Taken together, Neymar is obviously the most suitable candidate.
After Laporta learned the news, his thoughts began to come alive.
If Barcelona has a chance to welcome back Lin Quan, then there will be no problem selling Neymar.
After all, Lin Quan is worth a lot of money. Even if the player himself agrees to return to Barcelona, Barcelona will not be able to get what he wants without paying a penny.
It is impossible to take Lin Quan away from Manchester City without taking two to three billion euros.
Although Barcelona is a top giant, its foundation is not as deep as its archrival Real Madrid.
But even for Real Madrid, if they want to buy a player of Lin Quan's worth, they have to scrimp and sell everything.
Therefore, if the Qataris are really interested in Neymar, Barcelona can't knock their bamboo poles, make some money from them, and collect Lin Quan's redemption fee.
When the players agree to the transfer, Laporta feels that Barcelona's 200-300 million euros should be enough.
They can raise 150 million by selling Neymar, and if they can raise it themselves, if it doesn't work, they can sell some more people, and they can still 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 someone to inquire. 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 national, he is a Chinese player after all.
For many Chinese fans, they are naturally more willing to support a Chinese player with yellow skin and black hair who is even related to them.
Especially since such players did not voluntarily give up their nationality, but were adopted by adoptive parents and taken away. If the Spanish Football Association had not acted quickly, Lin Quan would have had the opportunity to represent the national football team.
In addition, he is still the number one player in football, and his commercial value is not comparable to that of ordinary players.
Buying him back not only buys immediate combat effectiveness and guarantees the team's performance for the next ten years, but also buys a cash cow!
If such a deal can really be done, it will definitely not be a loss.
The most important thing is that when the talent output of La Masia's youth academy began to decrease or even decline.
If Lin Quan, who is known as the genius of La Masia, can really return to his hometown and return to the Nou Camp, it will definitely become a good story.
It can also further improve 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 a steady stream of talents to Barcelona!
After all, Laporta has been the chairman of Barcelona, so he still has a long-term development vision.
Laporta's campaign slogan won the hearts of the people, and Barcelona fans were very dissatisfied with the team's loss of the Champions League and the Triple Crown under Bartomeu.
So in the final election in June, Laporta was successfully elected as the new Barcelona president with an overwhelming advantage.
As soon as he took office, he began to make serious preparations to clean up the club's lineup, sell some players, and prepare funds for the purchase of Lin Quan.
Barcelona has begun to prepare, how can Real Madrid remain indifferent?
Changing coaches is like changing swords. After cleaning up Ancelotti, Real Madrid ushered in a new coach - Zidane.
Zidane has been to the Etihad Stadium many times to spy on intelligence, so he was deeply impressed by Lin Quan's performance.
After receiving strong support from the club 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 reaching the Champions League, but also greatly humiliate their mortal enemy 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 is also attracted to Lin Quan.
Italians are actually very proud at heart. 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.
At that time, Serie A was simply brilliant, dominating the entire Europe, and was the only one in existence.
Although they have declined over the years, the heritage of these wealthy families still exists.
Moreover, in recent years, there have been an endless stream of local talents in Italy, and they actually don't care much about the talents appearing outside.
However, after experiencing the painful experience of being defeated in the Champions League for five consecutive years, the Serie A teams realized it.
If they want to regain the glory of Serie A's peak period, it is absolutely impossible to continue to do so behind closed doors.
The Milan duo are now saddled with debts that are difficult to recover from, and even though they have great ambitions, there is nothing they can do.
But the re-emerging old lady is different. Having achieved four consecutive Serie A championships, they are undoubtedly the face of the Serie A league.
And compared to the Milan duo, Juventus's 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 power of Manchester City in the Champions League and planned to make some big signings this summer.
Of course, another key reason supporting their large-scale signings is that Manchester United extended an olive branch to Juventus's midfielder Pogba and called on the old Manchester United player to return to Old Trafford.
Juventus has communicated with Pogba and his agent and has confirmed that it will be difficult to keep him.
Therefore, they decided to ruthlessly rip off Manchester United. A tycoon like Manchester United, who spends money like water and has no shortage of money, would have to spend hundreds of millions of euros to take Pogba away, right?
With these hundreds of millions of euros, Juventus can still collect the money to buy Lin Quan if they put their money together and use their financial resources.
If that doesn't work, installment payment is fine, but I don't know if Manchester City will accept it...
If Lin Quan's worth was not so high, there would probably be more wealthy clubs in the five major leagues wanting to introduce him.
There is only one reason why other wealthy families are indifferent - poverty!
After being tested by Paris Saint-Germain, everyone has an idea of Lin Quan's worth.
During last year's World Cup, his worth reached 250 million euros. This year, he led the team to successfully defend the Champions League and had such an incredible performance in the final. His worth will definitely continue to skyrocket.
As a result, even 250 million euros may be difficult to win over him.
For 99 percent of teams, they can't afford that much money.
Some teams themselves are not worth so much money, and they can't afford Lin Quan even if they are sold.
Therefore, for most teams, they can only act as spectators, helplessly watching these top giants compete for Lin Quan.
Among them was Professor Wenger, who sighed countless times.
"Oh, every step is too late, and the next is too late!"
Caressing the trophy in his arms, Wenger sighed quietly.
In the FA Cup final, Arsenal finally got their wish and won the championship.
After winning the championship, Wenger seemed to have had a piece of his heart removed and his whole person became much more relaxed.
Not just him, but the players at Arsenal too.
The FA Cup championship is still very valuable. Winning this championship can finally effectively respond to the humiliation of the outside world that they have not won a championship for ten years.
After removing a piece of his heartache, Wenger's mentality became increasingly peaceful.
He is already old, and almost all the old guys of his generation have retired, and he himself obviously cannot hold on for long.
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 he retires.
In line with the principle of spending small money to achieve big things, Wenger once again set his sights on the young monsters sent by the scouts.
Sure enough, cultivating a little demon is the most satisfying...
…
Transfer rumors spread a lot from the outside world, but Lin Quan himself had no intention of responding at all. It was as if he had disappeared from the world.
This made the outside world very curious: Where did Lin Quan go?
At this time, he was no longer in Europe. Together with Guardiola, the whole family set out to travel to the Far East.
In order not to be disturbed, the group traveled quietly and set off the day after the Champions League ended.
Such a quick action caught the reporters waiting to block 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 Sera and I adopted you."
Lin Quan nodded and looked up at the dilapidated orphanage in front of him. It was still the same as it was back then, but the years had left deep traces on it.
"Actually, I should have brought you here last year, but things delayed me."
When they adopted Lin Quan, Guardiola and Serra agreed to bring him back to find relatives when Lin Quan came of age.
Lin turned 18 last year, but was unable to make the trip due to various reasons.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. After all, when they abandoned me back then, they already gave up the parent-child relationship with me. My only parents in this world are you two."
Lin Quan took the matter of finding his roots very lightly. It was impossible for him to have deep feelings for someone who had not raised him and abandoned him.
The employees here have changed several times, and they don't remember who he is at all, and they can't find his biological parents. Such a result would not make any difference if he came a year earlier.
The group left the orphanage and went to the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of a nearby town to inquire. Because they did not know the specific names of Lin Quan's parents and they were too old, they tried hard but found nothing.
Before leaving, Lin Quan donated 1 million yuan to the welfare home, which was a settlement.
He was once one of these adopted children. I hope this money can help them!
After leaving the orphanage, the group took a plane to the capital.
Over there, a friendly match between Spain and China was waiting for them.
