VfL Wolfsburg directly raised the price to 8 million euros! They demanded that after the end of this season, the loan contract of Yang Fan will be automatically terminated and converted to a permanent transfer. [To read the latest chapters of this book, please search]

Is 8 million euros worth high for an 18-year-old young goalscorer? If you think about it, it is indeed not high, because in football, there are many young people under the age of 20 who have made sky-high transfer fees. And most of them are in the 21st century.

Here are a few examples.

For example, Aguero, who is now popular in La Liga, joined the academy of Independiente at the age of 8, and he made his Debut in the Argentine League at the age of 15 years and 37 days, which even broke the previous record of Maradona. In the summer of 2006, Atletico Madrid spent 21.7 million euros to bring in 18-year-old Sergio Aguero.

Saviola began playing for River Plate's first team in the A-League at the age of 17 and was named South American Footballer of the Year at the age of 19. In 2001, Barcelona brought in Saviola for 35.9 million euros in order to fight against its old rival Real Madrid.

Also in La Liga, in the 2004/2005 season at the age of 18, Ramos began to become Sevilla's main defender and was named the best newcomer in Europe that year. Real Madrid signed Ramos for 27 million euros in the summer of 2005, and Ramos quickly became a regular for Real Madrid.

In addition, at last year's World Junior Championships, Mikel competed for Nigeria and was named a Silver Globe winner. That summer, Chelsea, Manchester United and many other Premier League giants sent invitations to Mikel, and in the end, Chelsea grabbed the 19-year-old Mikel for 23.6 million euros.

In addition, there is also a famous young talent, the Italian 'bad boy' Cassano, who was once regarded as Italy's most talented rising star, and in the summer of 2001, the new Serie A champion Roma spent 28.5 million euros to sign the 18-year-old bad boy.

England's talented striker Wayne Rooney broke into the Everton first team at the age of 15, made his Premier League debut at the age of 16 and was named to the England squad at the age of 17. After Euro 2004, Manchester United godfather Alex Ferguson spent 37 million euros to sign Wayne Rooney, which is still the highest transfer fee for a player under the age of 20 in world football. Rooney has since had an excellent record at Manchester United and the England national team, and he fully deserves such a high transfer fee.

These are some particularly well-known examples, but there are also some young people under the age of 20 who are worth more than 10 million on transfers, and the list goes on.

Looking at the previous 'seniors' who often cost 20 million euros or 30 million euros, Wolfsburg's price for 18-year-old Yang Fan is 8 million euros, which is really not a big price, and it can even be said to be a small family.

However, given the fact that Yang Fan has only played four professional games so far, you can't say that Wolfsburg's offer is too much.

Of course, if you take into account Yang Fan's four games, three of them scored a hat-trick, and considering such a number of goals, eight million euros is too shabby.

So, the key is how you look at it, and from what point you look at this offer of eight million euros.

Now Wolfsburg intends to buy out Yang Fan's ownership directly, and they can't wait until the end of the season to talk about it, and now they are starting to contact Newcastle.

Rod glanced impatiently at the quotation. Pearson looked at him inquiringly, meaning, how do you reply over there now?

"Let's leave it there for now. Rod replied. This incident was too sudden, especially for Yang Fan's wonderful performance at Wolfsburg, he was not particularly clear, he had not come to his senses yet, he needed time to buffer, and there was an 8 million euro deal, which was not something that the head coach could call the shots alone.

Of course, the main thing is that Rod wants to see the game footage of Yang Fan's several games in Wolfsburg, to see how good this young man's performance is, he has to analyze it carefully, and then draw his own conclusions, whether Yang Fan's performance is a flash in the pan, or whether Newcastle really has another great talent.

Pearson glanced at Rhodes in surprise, he thought that Rhodes would refuse Wolfsburg's side, in Pearson's opinion, such an outstanding young man, he couldn't give up no amount of money.

The next morning, the staff at the Rigberton training ground saw their first team manager, Mr. Rode, hurrying back to his office, and about three quarters of an hour later, the club's chairman, Mr. Shepard, also arrived at Rigberryton. The staff began to talk a lot, thinking that something big had happened.

"Mr. Coach, I've been here since I got your call. Shepard's voice was not loud, but his voice was very penetrating, but today's Mr. President was tired, "You said you had something important to report to me." ”

"Yes, Mr. President. ”

"Well, I'll hear what can match the level of 'the future of Newcastle'. Shepard sat down in his chair and waved his hand. He's tired, and Shepard is getting a little out of the way when the sports retail mogul Ashley has stepped up his bid to buy a stake in Newcastle.

"Mr. President, do you remember that Chinese boy?" said Rod eagerly.

"You mean Yang?" Shepard asked in surprise, and he immediately thought of the Chinese young man, not only because Yang Fan impressed him, but because, in his life circle, Yang Fan was almost the first Chinese he came into contact with.

Rhodes was obviously surprised and curious that the president of the club actually said Yang Fan's name in one mouth, but now was not the time to dwell on these questions, he continued, "We loaned this boy to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. ”

"I know about it. Shepard nodded, he did remember it, and he was a little sorry at the time that such a brilliant lad could not play for Newcastle. Moreover, Shepard also thinks that maybe Yang Fan will not be able to get a labor certificate in the future.

"VfL Wolfsburg sent us a fax asking for a buyout of Young at the end of the season. Rod said.

Shepard looked surprised and motioned for Rhodes to continue.

"They sent their first offer yesterday morning, five million euros. ”

Shepard didn't answer, he heard it, and since it was the first offer, there was naturally a second offer.

"Two hours later, they raised the offer, eight million euros. ”

As the chairman of Newcastle Club, he naturally can't understand the strategy of player transfers, and it is generally said that after the other party rejects the offer, the party that makes the offer will use silence as a strategy, and continue to offer after being silent for a period of time. Wolfsburg's quotation strategy is a bit unusual.

And, wait, eight million euros?!An eighteen-year-old guy from the youth team, Wolfsburg offered eight million euros?!

Shepard's eyes lit up, he certainly didn't think Wolfsburg was crazy, and the price and Wolfsburg's eagerness only showed one thing, and that was that they were happy with Young, and they were eager to have the young shooter completely.

"Mr. Coach, I would like to know what kind of wonderful table this kid has in Germany. Shepard said with a smile.

In the 18th round of the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg won 3-2 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, and Young came off the bench for his debut at Wolfsburg, and he scored three goals in a row to help the team turn the game around. Rhodes looked into the eyes of Mr. Chairman as he spoke.

"Oh-my-god!" Shepard let out an 'oh', his eyes full of shock.

In the 19th round of the league, Wolfsburg won 4-2 to Bayern Munich. Young scored three goals and assisted one. Although he has long been familiar with this qiē, but now that it comes out of his mouth, Mr. Newcastle Manager is still a little excited. What kind of genius can make a perfect table? He couldn't imagine the beautiful scene when Yang Fan played in a Newcastle shirt.

“oh――my-god!oh――my-god!”

Young didn't score in the league against Hannover 96 afterwards, but just a week later, he helped his side to a 4-3 home win over leaders Schalke 04, with Young netting a hat-trick and Wolfsburg's other goal he assisted. ”

“oh――my-god――my-god――my-god!”

Rod's eyes were red, and he spoke very quickly, and when he said this, Shepard excitedly said 'my-god!', and the expressions and words and deeds of Mr. Newcastle's manager and the president of the club are now unusually funny. However, I believe that no one will find it funny if they are in the situation.

"You mean, this kid scored a hat-trick in three of the four games!" said Shepard, who was less than fifty years old, excitedly, and his voice trembled like that of an old man who was about to die.

"Yes, and two of those games were against Bayern Munich and Schalke 04. Rod nodded vigorously and said.

There was a moment of silence in the office after he said this, and it was clear that Mr. President would also take time to digest such shocking news.

"Oh-my-god-my-god-my-god!" Finally, after a series of 'my-god', Shepard came to his senses, took a deep breath, and looked at Mr. Manager, "So, Mr. Coach, do you have anything to say?"

Rod was almost shouting in his heart, is there anything to say? Great! Too much! I have so much to say, before that, allow me to greet the FA's mother, okay? At this moment, Mr. Newcastle's manager, there is a huge resentment against the FA's 'labor certification' system
