Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ferguson's Optimism

It's not just Real Madrid who has moved their minds to Lin Quan, but after the news spread, almost all the major giants in the five major leagues were tempted.

Milan City, AC Milan Club.

Galliani immediately approached the club's president, Silvio Berlusconi, and reported the matter to him.

"Boss, do we still ask Barcelona for Lin Quan according to the original offer of 45 million euros?"

Galliani obviously repented, Lin Quan's liquidated damages are obviously only 5 million euros, if they pay 45 million euros to transfer, wouldn't it become a big injustice?

If this spreads, I'm afraid people will laugh to death!

Berlusconi lit a cigar and smoked slowly.

"This kid has done very well in the Spanish national team and has now attracted the attention of many big clubs, if 45 million euros can really bring him back, do you think it is a loss?"

Galliani frowned and thought for a while, judging from Lin Quan's current performance alone, he is already a phenomenal player.

If you spend 45 million euros just to buy his instant combat power, it is a little expensive.

But if you take into account his huge potential, then this price is not only not expensive, but very cheap.

For example, when you know how the 25-year-old Messi is doing in football, if you were given a chance to go back in time and make an offer to Messi when he was 18 years old, how much would you be willing to pay?

I'm afraid that many clubs will not hesitate to pay hundreds of millions of euros in transfer fees, just to take Messi away from Barcelona!

And Lin Quan is like Messi in his youth.

Even, he is stronger than Messi of the same age!

In such a comparison, Lin Quan's price of 45 million euros is simply cheap!

If you're willing to shell out 100 million euros for Messi, then why not pay 45 million euros for Lin?

Unless you decide he's going to be kicked in the field and ruined.

Otherwise, there's no reason not to buy him!

"The style of the Bundesliga is different from our Serie A, they don't focus too much on defense, they play simply and directly, and they often play very exaggerated scores, so it's not difficult for attacking players to get a good statistic.

If this kid were playing in our Serie A, his goal tally would have dropped by more than half! ”

Galliani is still stubborn, trying to find all kinds of reasons to prove that Lin Quan is not worth the price.

He still has a sense of superiority in his heart, although the World Cup reputation of Serie A is gone, but as a giant family that once had a wide ancestry, they still look down on the rising star of the Bundesliga in their hearts.

Back then, even Germany's troika Matthaus, Klinsmann, Bremer and other superstars had to come to their Serie A to eat!

Berlusconi glanced at his old partner and said lightly:

"Each league has its own style, the Bundesliga advocates attack, Serie A advocates defense, there is no high or low."

"But from the point of view of the game, the Bundesliga, which has more goals, may not lose to Serie A, plus the Bundesliga is a real membership-based league, and their team finances are generally better than our Serie A."

"Don't look at them with the same old eyes, the performance of the Bundesliga team in the Champions League in recent seasons is much better than our Serie A!"

AC Milan used to be the face of Serie A in Europe, but in recent seasons, AC Milan's performance in the Champions League has been very dismal.

Since the 2006-2007 season, AC Milan avenged Liverpool in the Champions League final to win the Champions League, in the past five seasons, they stopped in the round of 16 three times, stopped in the top 8 once, and once did not even grab the Champions League place, which is comparable to the speed of Real Madrid's Champions League 16.

However, after Real Madrid brought in Munirio, the Champions League record has improved rapidly, and it has reached the semi-finals twice in a row.

Real Madrid have lost their Champions League 16 hat, but what about AC Milan?

With their current lineup, if they want to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, they don't know how to wait until the Year of the Monkey!

Galliani is actually distressed about money and doesn't want to spend so much money to buy people.

Regarding Lin Quan's strength, he himself actually knows very well that the price of 45 million euros is not expensive, but AC Milan at this time is more worried about its financial situation.

The club's president, Silvio Berlusconi, was riddled with lawsuits, and after the phonegate incident, the investment in the entire Serie A league was greatly reduced, except for Moratti, the stupid man who smashed a Champions League at any cost in the 09-10 season, other giants did not want to, and could not afford to invest heavily.

For them to pay such a high transfer fee to buy a new man, Galliani is a little reluctant.

Especially if he can try it for less money, he doesn't want to be wronged.

"It's decided, AC Milan is the face of Serie A, the San Siro Stadium can't always be without superstars, if the 45 million euros can really bring back Lin Quan, it will become the hope of our AC Milan to rise again!"

Berlusconi, on the other hand, thinks more long-term.

Since the president of the club has said so, Galliani can't say anything more, so he can only carry out his orders.

……

Manchester, inside Manchester United Club.

The soon-to-be-retired Sir Alex Ferguson is discussing the team's winter break with the two sons of the team's owners, Glazer Avram and Joel.

"Here's a list of some of the players I've my eye on, take a look!"

Ferguson handed the list to the two, and he can actually decide for himself when it comes to transfers.

But considering that he is retiring next season, it would be better to discuss it with the Glazer family.

lest the players he bought look down on by the team's new coach, in which case he, a retired old man, would have to take the blame.

Avram took the list handed over by the old man and glanced at it, and the names of famous stars such as Juan Mata, Modric, Sneijder, Ergo, Khedira, etc. appeared on the list.

There are also names of young players like Michu, Isco, De Bruyne and Lin Quan.

Except for Lin Quan, the rest of the players are almost all midfielders.

It is clear that Ferguson wants to strengthen Manchester United's midfield.

Shinji Kagawa, who had just been introduced, was constantly injured, Fletcher was riddled with strange illnesses, and Scholes was old.

Manchester United's midfield is a bit underwhelming and really needs to be strengthened.

Joel's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Quan's name, and he pointed to his name and said to Ferguson:

"I've followed this guy's game, he plays exactly the same position in the Spanish team as Messi in Barcelona, the two play in a similar way, many people are optimistic that he can grow into the next Messi in the future, Sir Alex, what do you think?"

Ferguson smiled: "I am also very optimistic about the future of this young man, with the strength he is showing now, I have no doubt that he can become a football king in the future." ”

Avram and Joel were both surprised, they didn't expect Ferguson to have such a high opinion of this Lin Quan.

Since Maradona's retirement, there has been no king in football for many years, and the closest is undoubtedly the two Melo who are currently in the limelight.

Does Ferguson think Lin Quan will be stronger than Mero in the future?

The two brothers glanced at each other, couldn't help but sit up straight, and became serious.

If Ferguson hadn't looked away, then such a player would not have been spared no matter what!

"Sir, how much do you think it would cost us to bring him in?"

The two felt that even if Lin Quan couldn't become the king of the ball in the future, he could become the next Merona!

At this time, Mero are all in their prime, and they are all nuclear weapons in their respective teams.

It is precisely because of the existence of these two peerless pride that La Liga has attracted so many fans, allowing La Liga to catch up with the Premier League in terms of league influence and commercial development.

If Manchester United can buy a player of this level, it will be very beneficial to Manchester United's future team results, as well as the development of Manchester United's commercial and brand image.

Seeing the eager eyes of the two, Ferguson said with a smile:

"It's hard to say, such an excellent player, Barcelona may not be willing to sell!"

"Isn't the outside world hyping that Lin Quan and Messi's positions on the field coincide, and there is no place in the Barcelona team?"

Joel knows a lot about the latest news in football, so he asked at this time.

Ferguson shook his head:

"Lin Quan and Messi are the kind of players who can play in multiple positions, he played as a winger in Werder Bremen, and Barcelona recalled him to play on the winger as well.

When it comes to the field, he and Messi can cooperate with each other, both are players who can take the ball and break through and pass the ball, and their combination will only make it more difficult for the opponent to defend! ”
