Chapter 125: The Chase of the Giants!

Newcastle's new owner, Ashley, sat on a leather sofa, and the fat gentleman's face was a little strange.

On his desk is a three-point quote.

The first is from Wolfsburg, a Bundesliga side that has asked for 15 million euros to buy Yang Fan. This is not much the same as what they offered two months ago.

The second offer came from Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga giant's offer of 10 million euros, which is much lower than Wolfsburg, but Bayern Munich said in their words that they are willing to add their main 'shooter' Ma Kai to this 'deal'.

In addition, this transfer offer is somewhat surprising, to be exact, this is just a price list, and it comes from Arsenal Club, and they asked to ask Yang Fan's price. Obviously, Mr. Wenger has not forgotten about Yang Fan, the young man who once made his eyes shine.

Ashley took a puff of his cigar, puffed out the clouds, knocked on the table, turned his head and asked his right and left hand, the club's sports manager, Glenn Bias, "Glenn, this Yang Fan, is he our player?"

Of course, Bias knows that the owner is unfamiliar with Yang Fan, after all, the player has been on loan, and Ashley will not pay attention to the Bundesliga on the other side of the English Channel.

"Yes, boss. He was a Chinese striker who didn't play a game for our first team and was loaned out to Wolfsburg on free because he didn't get a labor permit. Bias said.

"Wait, you're saying he's on loan to that Wolfsburg, free loan?" Ashley interrupted Bias and asked abruptly.

"That's right, it's a free rental. Biase nodded.

This immediately made Ashley angry, he slapped the table and jumped up, "I knew that Rhodes' bastard wouldn't do anything good, look at the results he brought to the team, this is not counting, he actually loaned the player out for free, doesn't he know what the loan fee is?"

Bias didn't speak, he was not surprised by the 'temperament' of his boss Ashley, the owner of a sporting goods chain who had an inexplicable "desire" for money, and was the kind of person who would break his son in half and "spend".

"It is said that this was decided jointly by Mr. Shepard and Mr. Rhodes. When Ashley was done, Bias said. Then he tried his best to briefly introduce Yang Fan in the most concise and clear words.

"That guy who always 'messes' and 'spends' money. Ashley muttered, picked up the quote and looked at it again.

"So, are these offers genuine?" Ashley asked Mr. Athletic.

"That's true. Bias nodded and said, "Wolfsburg definitely wants to buy out Yang Fan completely, they should be the most sincere, as for Bayern Munich, Yang Fan once scored three goals against them, maybe this game made Bayern Munich remember him." As for Arsenal, I'm not sure, but, you know, Mr Wenger has a penchant for collecting young stars. ”

"So, Shepard actually left us a big golden egg. Ashley said with a laugh.

"So to speak. "So, boss, do you mean to agree to sell Yang Fan?"

Ashley didn't answer, just nodded noncommittally, his eyes fixed on the three quotations on the table, which was a complete surprise for him. He didn't expect that a young man who came out of nowhere might bring him a lot of money.

"Let's put it aside...... Well, you're going to get busy with yours first. Ashley muttered, took out a cigar again, and instead of lighting it, buried himself in the soft couch.

Bias glanced at the boss, smiled and didn't say anything, stood up and left, he knew that the boss had entered the state, and it was obvious that after learning that the Chinese 'shooter' who 'suddenly appeared' was actually very popular, the boss was already planning to make a big profit.

As for saying that Yang Fan will not be sold, please, will this question mark be removed for the time being.

In Bias's opinion, Ashley's decision to sell Yang Fan's possible 'sex' is as high as 99%!

As for seeking the opinion of the current manager of the team, Sam Allardyce, this is completely out of Ashley's consideration, in the eyes of the new Newcastle owner, Newcastle players do not have any non-sale, as long as the price is high enough, they can be discussed! Not to mention this name, which is somewhat unfamiliar to Mr. Chairman.

Now, in Ashley's eyes, Yang Fan, a young man who was loaned by Newcastle to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga and has achieved extraordinary achievements, is almost equivalent to a 'flower' and 'flower' green banknote.

As Wolfsburg FC sporting manager Fox has said, the new Newcastle owner is a man who wants to make money from football, and for such a person, that means that Newcastle simply don't have any so-called 'not for sale'.

Yang Fan didn't know that he had been treated as a golden egg by the new owner of Newcastle FC, Mr. Ashley. He was packing up at his home in Wolfsburg at this time, preparing to return home.

I was in a hurry to go home last time, and I didn't buy any gifts for relatives and friends, so I naturally had to make up for it this time.

For his future, Yang Fan did not think about it for the time being, in his mind, at least one thing is more certain, that is, he will continue to stay in Wolfsburg for one season, whether it will continue as a loan player or be bought out by Wolfsburg.

He is very happy with his half season at Wolfsburg and has enjoyed getting along with his team-mates. The fans' also liked him and, of course, the fact that he was entrusted with him by manager Organthaler, were positive factors in his intention to stay at Wolfsburg.

He also received a call from his agent, Michael Baker, in which Baker sued him that Wolfsburg had made another offer to Newcastle with the intention of buying him out. Regarding this matter, Yang Fan did not express his position for the time being, the transfer window has not yet opened, he decided to go home and rest for a period of time before considering this issue.

At this time, Yang Fan didn't know how powerful his influence in China was now!

Fifteen games, 23 goals, beating Yekas, Klose, Kuranyi, Markay and others to win the Bundesliga Golden Boot, and lead Wolfsburg to the European stage next season!

Yang Fan created a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of his own Bundesliga.

Even the major European football powers, such as England and France, are praising Wolfsburg, and Yang Fan is full of praise, let alone the Chinese media.

As soon as the Bundesliga ended, Wolfsburg locked the fifth place in the league, and Yang Fan was officially awarded the Bundesliga Golden Boot. At the end of each report, there is also a proud tone, that is, why Wolfsburg, a team that was still hovering in the relegation zone before the winter break, won the European qualification at the end of the season? It was Yang Fan's goals that helped Wolfsburg complete this fantastic turnaround!

"Now, in the whole of Germany, and even in the whole of European football, the name Yang Fan is justifiably popular, Yang Fan has successfully had his own place in the football world, and he has also successfully attracted the attention of many giant" teams, there is news that Bayern Munich, which has a bad table in the Bundesliga this season and finally ranks fourth in the league, has regarded Yang Fan as a target for the team, and they are eager to take this young man who scored three goals in that game just past season' Shooter's hand to the Allianz Arena. ”

The news of "Sports Weekly" has made Chinese football 'fans' very excited. Bayern Munich is an old Bundesliga giant, one of the few giants in world football, and also has many fans in China. After learning that Bayern Munich was interested in introducing Yang Fan, these Bayern Munich 'fans' cheered one by one, and they couldn't wait to immediately help Yang Fan agree to go to Bayern Munich to play.

In fact, before the end of the season, rumors that Bayern Munich might bring in Yang Fan became popular among the Chinese media and football 'fans'.

Some Bayern Munich fans even affirmed that Yang Fan will be Bayern Munich sooner or later.

The reason why they are so sure is because of Bayern Munich's consistent strategy.

Bayern Munich is the most successful and influential club in the Bundesliga. But for the fans of other teams in the Bundesliga, this name is obviously not a good word, and in the Bundesliga for nearly two decades, Bayern Munich has been called the league's 'digging king' by many other teams. Bayern Munich's performance in the Bundesliga and Champions League at the end of the last century coincided with the decline of the Bundesliga in the 90s, which is considered by many to be the best evidence that the southern stars are digging into the league wall.

Since the 90s of the last century, Bayern has indeed continued to introduce stars from other teams in the Bundesliga, and some of the forced poaching has directly led to the rapid decline in the performance of the poached team. In the 90s of the last century, Bayern Munich successively poached people from Karlsruhe, which was still in the Bundesliga at the time, Kahn, Sauer, Tanat, Fink, these players who helped Bayern bring glory in the 'friendship' of the century, are all Bayern's "poaching" results. Corresponding to this was the current situation in Karlsruhe, which had a group of young talents at the time. After the departure of these players one by one, Karlsruhe was finally relegated to the Bundesliga, although in the just-concluded 2006/2007 season, Karlsruhe has just been promoted back to the Bundesliga, but Karlsruhe, who is no longer the strength of the year, is expected to be relegated next season.

In addition to Karlsruhe, Werder Bremen, Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen are all victims of Bayern's poaching. Since 1995, when Rehhagel was poached, Bremen's record declined; after Bayern poached Stuttgart's Brazilian 'goalscorer' Elber, Stuttgart's 'troika' fell apart, and for a long time this team that had the ability to compete for the championship did not have good results; the most famous is obviously to poach Ballack, Ze Roberto, Lucio, the three key players of Leverkusen, which led Leverkusen, which had reached the Champions League final, to be relegated for a time.

Therefore, once a certain Bundesliga team is very 'outstanding' in a certain season, or a few seasons, Bayern Munich is determined to poach the corners, whether it is to spend money, or to contact the players in 'private' and lure the players to join, anyway, they want to buy the core stars of this team, while enhancing their own strength, they also weaken the strength of the poached team to the greatest extent and maintain their hegemony in the Bundesliga.

Of course, if Bayern Munich wants to buy Yangfan this time, it is a little different from the previous transfer 'operation', because although Yang Fan plays for Wolfsburg, his ownership is in Newcastle, and Bayern Munich wants to buy people and has to contact Newcastle.

In fact, what pays attention to Yang Fan is not only Bayern Munich's giants'?!

London.

According to the media, after Arsenal's star and team captain Thierry Henry publicly stated that he wanted to leave Arsenal and join Barcelona, Arsenal fell into a 'turmoil'.

According to The Sun, after Thierry Henry publicly stated that he was leaving, Wenger was disappointed and even 'revealed' his intentions, and last summer, the resignation of his mild-mannered old friend and Arsenal vice-president Dane also made Wenger have a pimple in his heart.

In such a situation, the Arsenal manager and club president Hillwood had such a conversation.

"Thierry looks like he's definitely leaving. Hillwood said.

"Yes. Wenger said with some sadness, for the Arsenal team in his hands, Henry is almost the flag and symbol of Arsenal in the past ten years, and now, Henry's departure makes Wenger extremely sad.

"Is there anything I need to do?" asked Hillwood.

"Successor. "After Thierry leaves, we have to bring in a replacement! ”

"Do you have a person in mind?" asked Hillwood.

Wenger thought for a moment and said the name he had in mind. The name shocked Mr. President of the club.

"That Chinese lad in the newspapers, that Bundesliga Golden Boot?" Hillwood asked.

"That's right, it's the young man in the newspaper. I was amazed by this young man's table. A very nice lad. Arsene Wenger said. When he said this, he remembered that more than half a year ago, when he just paid attention to this young man, he was still so immature, who would have thought that only half a year later, he was already the golden boot of the Bundesliga!

Twenty-three goals scored in fifteen games! What a horrible goal percentage.

Hillwood was silent for a moment.

"Arsna, do you really want to buy that Chinese lad?" said Arsenal chairman Hillwood, looking at the mild-mannered middle-aged man beside him.

"Yes, Peter, what I regret most now is not having taken this lad earlier. In fact, I started paying attention to this young man half a year ago. ”

"Half a year ago?" Hillwood asked, surprised.

"Yes, he was a member of Newcastle's youth team at the time. Arsene Wenger said with regret.

"Have you ever considered that maybe his performance in the Bundesliga this season was just a flash in the pan?" asked Hillwood.

"When I brought in Thierry Henry, bought Bergkamp, bought Pires, a lot of people weren't optimistic about them. The professor said with a smile.

Hillwood pondered for a moment.

When he chose Arsene Wenger to coach an academic Frenchman, he was also under great pressure and wavered for a while, but the Frenchman quickly proved his coaching skills! From that time on, Wenger began a great coaching career at Arsenal, and of course, won his trust, in Hillwood's view, unlike those roaring Scottish coaches, Wenger is a very intelligent man, not only a football man, but also very good in many ways. Color', of course, also includes his eyesight. You know, Arsenal's youth are now almost synonymous with genius.

"Okay. Hillwood finally nodded, "It's just that you know that it's hard for a club to throw too much money at a young man. ”

"I know that. Wenger nodded helplessly. Arsene Wenger and Arsenal have always been criticised for their reluctance to buy people, and the professor has always been 'supporting' the team, saying that "I'm not afraid of 'spending' money, and if there is a player I like, I won't frown." ”

The professor will say the same thing. "But we at Arsenal are star-makers, we have good players, we can, but I don't see any world-class players in the transfer market, at best, they are worth a bit more, they are still far from being world-class. ”

At first glance, this is because the professor is very confident in Arsenal's hematopoietic ability, so he does not throw money at the transfer market.

But, actually, the real reason is that Arsenal really don't have much money. They are indeed one of the most profitable clubs in the Premier League, but most of the money that makes them is invested in new stadiums.

"It shouldn't be an outrageous price. The professor calculated in his heart that although Yang Fan is the Bundesliga Golden Boot, after all, it is only the first season of his career, and the development of young people is very unstable, which may make some buyers hesitate, in this case, the value may not be too outrageous.

It's just that the professor himself didn't notice that the tone of his own words was not so sure.

The conversation was not known to the media, otherwise they would have known how unreliable the rumours they were talking about Arsene Wenger leaving the arsenal in frustration.

In the afternoon, Arsenal sent another fax to Newcastle FC, and this time, they did not just ask for an offer, but sent their first offer for Yang Fan.
