Chapter 147: The transfer market opens, and the major giants are in a crazy arms race!
"What's wrong? Look at your sullen look? ”
On June 11, 10 days have passed since the end of the German Cup final.
In the manor south of Munich, Lin Quan had just finished training.
When I got home, I saw Guardiola slumped on the sofa, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Bayern FC gave me a breeze and said that they would adjust the goal of leading the team."
Lin Quan was thoughtful, could it be that he had raised his goal to defending the Champions League?
"When they hired me before, Bayern had just made it out of the group, the quarter-finals had not started, and the title was not scored.
So Bayern want me to lead the team to win the Champions League, that's the highest they want of me. ”
Lin Quan nodded, this request is not excessive, after all, Bayern's strength and Guardiola's coaching ability are here.
"And now?"
"Now? Now Bayern has a title, so the Bayern management told me that they hope I can help the team through the transition smoothly and have no requirements for the Champions League title. ”
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Lin Quan is very puzzled, although it is a good thing to say that there is pressure, but the Champions League champion is like that every year.
There are so many giants in the whole of Europe, and no one can pat their chests and say that they will definitely be able to get the Big Ears Cup.
If Guardiola really sets the goal of defending the Champions League, then the pressure on him will be too great.
That would be tantamount to dancing in shackles, and there would be little room for oneself.
Pep Guardiola is a man of great personality, and he probably doesn't like to live like this.
"Is it a good thing? Bayern's hierarchy has set this goal, which means that they will not invest much in the operation of the team in the next few years, and the annual transfer budget will be very limited. ”
It turned out to be a card transfer fee!
"How much budget did they give you?"
Regarding Bayern's budget for the summer transfer period, Lin Quan is very curious.
"30 million euros!"
Guardio stretched out three fingers and said helplessly.
"Wouldn't it? I can't even afford Götze at this price! ”
Gotze has already announced his move to Bayern.
However, because Dortmund's attitude is very resolute, he is unwilling to sell cheaply.
Therefore, Bayern can only pay 37 million euros in liquidated damages, directly activate the default clause, and bring Götze over.
If Bayern really only give a budget of 30 million, then how can they buy Götze?
"Sell people to raise money, for example, your teammate Petersen in Werder Bremen has been booked by Werder Bremen for 3 million euros."
Pep Guardiola has already regarded Lin Quan as a Bayern player, so he has no intention of hiding all kinds of inside information.
Peterson's three million is quite affordable.
Considering Werder Bremen's lineup, even if Bayern offers five million euros, it is estimated that the other party will have to pay for it.
'In addition to Petersen, Gomez also had the intention of leaving, and he approached me after the Champions League final to try to ask about his tactical arrangements in the team.
'I told him that I would continue to use Mandzukic as a regular and Gomez said he wanted to move.
I agreed, let him contact the next family himself, and it is estimated that the next family has been discussed at present, just wait for the transfer period to start, and complete the deal. ”
Pep Guardiola is not very good at using a central striker and does not rely too much on a central striker.
It wasn't until later that he suffered from not having a good center forward and happened to meet a man named Haaland.
Even if Gomez does not take the initiative to apply for a transfer, Guardiola will most likely purge him.
Even Mandzukic, who won the Champions League, is likely to struggle to gain an absolute main position in Pep Guardiola's tactics.
Lin Quan nodded, and this did not seem to have changed.
Gomez's next home is not surprising, it should be Fiorentina in Serie A, and the transfer fee given by the other party seems to be 20 million euros, with a down payment of 16 million euros, and a follow-up installment of 4 million euros.
That's a very cheap price for a striker of Gomez's level.
Bayern showed grace when dealing with the team's heroes, and did not get too stuck on the transfer fee.
It's just that in this way, there is still not much money!
Peterson's 3 million, plus Gomez's 16 million, plus the original 30 million, is only 49 million.
If you deduct Gotze's 37 million, it will be equivalent to 12 million left.
What can you buy for 12 million euros in the transfer market?
It seems that you can only buy a demon under the age of 20, and it can't be a particularly good demon.
As for the stars who are in their playing years, there is a high probability that they cannot be bought.
So, you have to sell people.
"Bayern's midfield is a bit crowded, I'm going to clean up some people, Gustavo and Martinez, I'm more optimistic about Martinez."
The implication is that Gustavo has to leave.
The Brazilian has made very few appearances this season, making just two appearances in the league and rarely making appearances.
So he was cleaned up, and Lin Quan was not surprised at all.
Considering Gustavo's age and ability, he is estimated to fetch around 15 million euros if he were put on the shelf.
In this way, the transfer fee at Guardiola's disposal is about 27 million euros.
This money, at most, can only buy a player with good strength.
"It would have been nice if I hadn't bought Götze, in that case I would have 65 million euros in my hand and I could try to offer Sergio Busquets."
Pep Guardiola lamented that he really appreciates the young player.
Not to mention the ability, you can see his excellent performance at both offensive and defensive ends.
Not only that, but Professor Bu is most praised for his brilliant mind.
This guy knows exactly what to do on the pitch and when.
At a critical time, you can also perform the stunt of La Masia Film and Television Academy, and cheat a yellow card or something.
Compared to Sergio Busquets, Götze is younger, but to be honest, he is not the type Guardiola wants.
If you don't have Lin Quan, it's a good choice to buy Gitze.
But with Lin Quan, this deal seems a bit redundant.
Ge Ze's ability is really good, but he overlaps with Lin Quan in terms of position.
If Bayern gives him a very generous transfer budget, then there is no problem in buying Gotze for 37 million.
This can both bolster the squad and weaken direct rivals in the league.
However, in the case of an inadequate budget, the transfer budget of 37 million was killed by Gotze, and Guardiola was very unhappy.
Lin Quan on the side didn't speak, he was thinking:
Is the 30 million signing fee given to Bayern included in this year's transfer budget?
If this is the case, then he can be regarded as the culprit who caused Guardiola to have no money to buy people......
……
On July 1, the transfer window officially opened.
Barcelona, who had already negotiated all the conditions with the Brazilian supernova, couldn't wait to announce the transfer news of Neymar.
Barcelona spent a whopping €57 million to bring back the high-profile superstar from the Brazilian league.
The addition of Neymar has further strengthened Barcelona's strength on the wing.
People are looking forward to the chemistry between him and Messi.
Barcelona took the lead, and their league rivals Real Madrid naturally couldn't sit still.
Real Madrid first brought in Isco for 30 million euros, and then announced the next day that Real Sociedad supernova Asir Ilyaramendi would be brought in for 32 million.
Barcelona spent 57 million euros, Real Madrid spent 62 million euros, and Real Madrid has not been afraid of anyone compared to spending money.
This is not the biggest deal yet, though, as Real Madrid are in contact with Tottenham winger Gareth Bale.
It is rumoured that the deal, if it gets done, could set a new record for transfer fees in football.
If you buy it, you will sell it.
After sacking Jose Mourinho, many of the players he brought in were purged.
Among them, Ergou joined Arsenal for 50 million.
Higuain, the small smoking gun, joined Napoli for 37 million euros.
In addition, Callejon, Albiol and others have also transferred and left, and Kaka, who terminated his contract with Real Madrid and became a free agent, returned to Serie A and joined his old club AC Milan for free.
After the La Liga duo began to move, other giants couldn't bear it.
Ligue 1's Paris Saint-Germain once again spent a lot of money, poaching Napoli's star Edinson Cavani for 64 million euros.
Another Ligue 1 giant, Monaco, have also joined the arms race, spending €60 million and €45 million respectively to buy Atletico Madrid's striker Falcao and Porto's rising star Cristiano Ronaldo.
On the Premier League side, the Manchester duo couldn't help but shoot.
With the injection of capital from the Middle East, Manchester City has spent hundreds of millions of euros in the transfer market, buying Fernandinho, Jovetic, Negredo and Navas respectively.
Manchester United, on the other hand, spent €32 million to buy Fellaini.
……
Tens of millions of euros after transactions are constantly being generated, and this year's transfer market is several times crazier than last year!
However, the Bundesliga, especially Bayern, seems quiet.
They have been slow to officially announce the addition of new players, and even the transfer of Gotze has already been confirmed.
This gave the outside world a hint of something unusual.
Bayern general manager Hoeness felt the pressure and when he reported to the club's president, Rummenigge, he was embarrassed:
'When we recruited Gotze, we promised to make sure he was in the team and his playing time.
But if we sign Lin Quan again, the positions of the two are somewhat duplicated, and Gotze's playing time and main position may not be guaranteed. ”
Hoeness is hinting at Rummenigge that only one of the two players can be chosen.
Rummenigge also has a bit of a headache, Bayern and Götze have been in contact for a long time.
In order to impress this shining domestic supernova in the Bundesliga, Bayern has offered very favorable conditions.
Now Gotze has already officially announced that he will join Bayern, and if Bayern backtracks at this time, it will be a lot of fun.
So this deal needs to go ahead anyway.
Bayern's face cannot be lost, and buying Gotze at a price of 37 million is definitely a sure win.
Gotze's performances in the league and Champions League are there for all to see, and no one can deny his quality and potential.
But the problem is that Lin Quan is also very strong, even stronger than Gotze!
His results at Werder Bremen were equally impressive, compared to last season's Borussia Dortmund's big four.
Lin Quan led the weaker Werder Bremen to win the German Cup, and also eliminated Bayern Munich directly on the field.
Even if others don't recognize Lin Quan's strength, can Bayern, who lost at his feet twice, still deny his strength?
"Can you continue to negotiate with Götze's side? We can guarantee that they play fairly within the team. ”
Rummenigge doesn't want to give up Lin Quan, and once this opportunity to sign the other party for free is missed, I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future.
"Well, I'll talk to his agent, but I don't think there's much hope of them compromise.
You know, Götze is the absolute core of the Dortmund team, he is only the main force and not the core of the team when he comes to us, and for Gotze, this in itself is a concession. ”
"So it's too difficult to want the other party to make concessions!"
Rummenigge nodded, and though he knew there was little hope, he asked Hoeness to give it a try.
At the same time, he called Summerer and asked the other party to contact Lin Quan to see if the other party was willing to play as a substitute for Gotze.
Bayern are not small clubs, they are giants and there are a lot of games to play every season.
League, Cup, Champions League, Club World Cup, Super Cup...... It's not uncommon to play fifty or sixty games a year.
If Lin Quan can accept the arrangement of coming off the bench, it will be absolutely no problem to play twenty or thirty games.
However, will Lin Quan accept it?
The answer is no.
After hearing Summer's conditions, Pere didn't think about it and directly refused:
"Mr. Summer, don't you think it's ridiculous to use Lin as a substitute for Lin's performance in the Bundesliga?"
Summer, of course, found this ridiculous, as Lin Quan not only scored 42 goals but also contributed 21 assists last season.
He has set a new Bundesliga record in both goals and assists.
To let such a superstar with top stats play as a substitute, unless he meets someone with a very good temper, otherwise it is impossible for a normal person to agree.
But Summerer came with Bayern's mission, so he could only bite the bullet and say:
"Mr. Perret, Lin Quan is only seventeen years old, and it is very incredible to play the main team at Bayern at this age."
This is ready to make a fuss about Lin's age, but Pere doesn't eat this set at all:
"Hehe, among the giants of the five major leagues, there are still many teams that are willing to give Lin Quan the main position and ensure his playing time, if Bayern insists on this, then my players can only switch to other places!"
Summerer knew that the other party's words were not to scare people, in the transfer market, Lin Quan was so sought-after.
So he didn't dare to continue talking, so he had to go back to Rummenigge to report the situation.
It just so happened that Hoeness had also returned.
As in Summer's case, Gotze does not accept so-called fair play.
He seemed to have heard the wind and knew that Bayern was in contact with Lin Quan.
This annoyed him and his agent, who thought Bayern had cheated on them.
But the problem is that Gotze has already officially announced that he will join Bayern, and now both sides can't even regret it.
You can't let Gotze go back to Dortmund in disgrace, right?
It is said that on the Dortmund side, Götze has not dared to go out lately.
Some extreme fans even surrounded his residence and burned his jersey outside his residence.
The corners of Rummenigge's mouth twitched slightly when he heard the news: Gotze, this is too miserable, right?
