Chapter 64 Manchester City is in a hurry, and the chairman of the club personally visits the door

"These dogs, are you really here?"

After the four clubs launched offers one after another, Manchester City FC suddenly panicked.

In the case that they don't want to sell people, there are so many big teams that have launched a scramble for their own stars, and anyone who changes them will panic.

Moreover, what makes them even more panicked is that Lin Quan has not agreed to sign the renewal contract until now, which makes Manchester City inevitably a little panicked, and subconsciously worried about whether Lin Quan is really going to leave Manchester City this summer?

Otherwise, with such generous conditions for Manchester City, why didn't he renew his contract?

Although Manchester City's heritage is not as good as those of the old giants, anyone can see that they are a rising upstart.

As long as they continue to develop step by step, it is only a matter of time before they step into the ranks of the top giants.

Before Manchester City won the Champions League in 2014, there were still many people in football who claimed that Manchester City were just rich nouveau riche and did not look down on them at all.

But what about now?

After Manchester City won two Champions Leagues in a row, few people in football today would treat them as an upstart.

Many professionals have even begun to analyse Manchester City's success stories, and some clubs have even unconsciously begun to imitate Manchester City's operating model, apparently intending to replicate Manchester City's success.

So, what top clubs like Real Sajen have, it's only a matter of time before Manchester City have that.

In this case, they can't understand the thoughts of the players in the team, especially the top players like Lin Quan, why are they unwilling to stay in the team?

"Don't think about it, Lin Quan didn't refuse to renew the contract with us, isn't the negotiation still continuing?"

Seeing that everyone was so pessimistic and depressed, Manchester City's chairman Fahim had to speak comfortably.

"I got the news that Lin Quan has returned to Europe at this time, and while he is at home now, I will go there in person to show him our greatest sincerity."

In fact, Manchester City doesn't need to be in such a hurry, Lin Quan's contract still has 3 years to go.

Even if Lin Quan does not renew his contract, as long as Manchester City resolutely does not let go, then even if Lin Quan wants to leave, he will have to wait until 2018.

In the past three years, taking advantage of Lin Quan's still in the team, they will fight for more honors in the league and the Champions League, and maybe they will be able to join the ranks of the top giants.

At that time, maybe Lin Quan will change his mind?

Even if Lin Quan insists on leaving in the end, Manchester City, which has become a top giant, can also attract other big-name stars to join with its past results and the appeal of top giants.

Although it is said that the team's record will definitely decline without Lin Quan, but with the addition of other stars, Manchester City will not fall to relegation.

It's just that Manchester City really doesn't want to lose Lin Quan, as long as Lin Quan's contract is less than three years, they feel very insecure.

Now Manchester City's tactical system is built around Lin Quan, if Lin Quan can't be given a long-term contract and keep him in the team, then Manchester City will have to adjust their tactical play.

It's not just about changing a striker, it's about the whole team having to reinvent the wheel.

Just as Barcelona can't find a replacement for Messi, Manchester City can't find a replacement for Lin Quan.

……

Lin Quan had just returned from Xavi's house when he met Manchester City chairman Fahim, who was waiting outside his house.

"Mr. President, why are you here?"

Lin Quan's sudden appearance made Lin Quan a little surprised, and he also realized that the other party definitely had something very important on his trip.

"Hehe, I heard that you have come back from abroad, so you came to visit, Mr. Pep, are they not there?"

Lin Quan does not have a separate house in Catalonia, but lives with Pep Guardiola and his wife.

He hasn't been back for a long time all year round, and he's not married, so there's no need to buy a house here for the time being.

When you get married and start a family in the future, it's not too late to move out.

"They're going skiing in Switzerland and they're coming back in a while."

"I see, don't you invite me into the house to sit?"

Fahim said with a smile, Lin Quan nodded apologetically, took out the key and opened the door, invited Fahim in, and poured him a cup of tea.

After Fahim came in, he didn't immediately explain his intentions, and Lin Quan wouldn't take the initiative to break the peace.

In fact, he had already guessed the other party's intention in his heart, which was nothing more than a matter of renewing the contract.

When he returned to Europe, Pere had already reported in detail about the rush to renew his contract on Manchester City's side.

Regarding the renewal of his contract with Manchester City, Perre's attitude is very resolute:

People must have a bottom line, and they can't even !! money for the sake of dignity

Renew the contract, resolutely renew the contract, Manchester City came to the door to send money, this money is not taken in vain!

To be honest, Lin Quan is also very tempted, this salary, let alone in 2015, even after 2020, is a very high annual salary.

But he doesn't want to sign a long-term contract, a three-year contract like Ronaldo's may still be considered, and a five-year long-term contract like Manchester City's handover is not good.

In the end, it was Fahim who lost the battle to see who was more composed, and he cleared his throat and spoke:

"Lin, I'm here this time mainly for two things."

Lin Quan raised his head to look at him and motioned for him to continue.

"First thing, you know, this summer, there have been a lot of rumours about you in the transfer market, and we've got a lot of offers from our club, so I wonder what you think about that?"

Fahim stared at Lin Quan intently, trying to find something from the change in expression on his face.

"Is the club going to sell me this summer?"

Lin Quan did not answer the question directly, but asked a rhetorical question.

"Well, of course not, you're the club's top brand, it's not for sale, and we're not going to put you on the sales shelves anyway!"

Fahim said in a firm tone, in order to show Lin Quan the determination of Manchester City.

Moreover, this sentence also implies the subtext that Manchester City will not sell people no matter what the situation, which means that even if Lin Quan wants to leave, they will not allow it.

Lin Quan nodded, understanding the attitude of the club.

He really doesn't have the idea of leaving now, after all, Guardiola has just arrived, and he is running now, which is a bit of a pit for Guardiola.

Seeing that there was no obvious change in the expression on Lin Quan's face, Fahim continued:

'So far the club has received four offers, including Barcelona and Real Madrid, but we have rejected all of them.

Lin Quan still didn't react much, and Manchester City's reaction was as he expected.

And he doesn't want to be entangled in these transfer rumors all the time, so Manchester City's decisive refusal is actually helping him.

"The second thing I'm here today is about the renewal of your contract with the club."

Seeing that Lin Quan was not too interested in the transfer, Fahim was in good spirits and immediately hit the railway while it was hot:

"Given the many accolades you've earned for the team during your two years at Manchester City, the team has decided to offer you a new contract with a significant increase in your salary and bonus package to match your performance."

This is said very beautifully, in the name of giving Lin Quan a salary increase, he handed over a new contract, but he never mentioned the time limit of the new contract.

With this five-year contract, it is natural to give a better treatment, because prices are rising every year, and the value and wages of players are also rising.

Don't look at the high annual salary offered by Manchester City, but compared to the previous contract, which is only a 20% salary increase, this may not be able to catch up with the average salary increase in football in the past five years.

Of course, if you count the loyalty awards, that's another story.

It's just that as long as Lin Quan can't stay in Manchester City for five years, he won't be satisfied with this loyalty award, so compared to the real annual salary, the loyalty award is actually a big pie drawn by the club.

After all, when the remaining time of Lin Quan's next contract is shortened, Manchester City will still renew his contract early or sell him, and the loyalty award of the big head in the last few years is destined to be unavailable.

Therefore, Manchester City's sincerity is actually not so sufficient.

Of course, if Lin Quan is willing to renew the contract, the content of this is negotiable.

It's just that his agent Pere is inexperienced in this regard, and he was dizzy and lost his judgment when he saw the contract amount offered by Manchester City, so he was easily deceived.

If it were a brokerage predator like Mendez, he would definitely not be deceived so easily.

"I already know about the contract, I haven't read it carefully, how about I reply to the club after I read it carefully?"

It is not convenient for players to negotiate directly with the club, and it is easy for players to be easily deceived if they are not professional enough in this area.

Second, when it comes to contract and money negotiations, both parties will inevitably quarrel for their own interests.

If the agent is involved in this kind of quarrel, the bad guy will be played by the agent.

But if the players themselves come forward, the bad guys will become the players themselves in the eyes of the club.

The players playing at the club and the management of the club don't look up and down, and once they leave that impression, they will definitely not have a good time in the future.

What's more, once this kind of thing spreads, it will have a bad impact on the player's own reputation.

Therefore, Lin Quan didn't want to talk to Fahim about the contract, but asked him to find his agent.

Of course, Fahim also knew that he should not bypass Lin Quan's agent, and the main purpose of his coming today was to test Lin Quan's attitude and see what he was planning.

Now, after learning the news that Lin Quan does not want to leave Manchester City for the time being, his main purpose has been achieved.

Although it is strange why the other party did not immediately sign the renewal contract, as long as the other party does not want to leave for the time being, then there is still an opportunity for negotiation between the two parties.

The rest of the matter is left to the relevant personnel of the club and the other party's agent to negotiate slowly.

……

After figuring out Lin Quan's attitude, Manchester City's attitude also became tougher, they rejected the offers of the four clubs in one go, and then stated on the official website again, indicating that Lin Quan is not for sale at Manchester City and will never send him away.

In order to reassure Manchester City fans, Manchester City also revealed the news on its official website, saying that the club is negotiating with Lin Quan's agent about the renewal of the player's contract.

The day after Manchester City revealed the news, a Manchester tabloid revealed part of the contract.

Although the content of this tabloid's report may not be true, the majority of people who eat melons are still shocked by the amount in this contract!

"Damn, 125 million pounds for five years, equivalent to an annual salary of 30 million euros a year, this is too outrageous, right?"

"Lin Huang's current annual salary is 20 million pounds, equivalent to 25 million euros, and the new contract has increased by 20%, which does seem to be very large, but this new contract is not an incremental contract, but a fixed annual salary, so on the whole, this increase is not very large, and the average growth rate is not even 4%!"

"That's true, but Lin Huang's salary base is too high, so even if the increase is not large, it is still amazing!"

"It was rumored that Barcelona offered Messi a new contract, I thought that the highest salary in football was going to be snatched away by Messi, but I didn't expect Manchester City's response to be so fast, if Lin Huang signed this contract, then he will defend his first annual salary in football, and he is also the first player in history to reach an annual salary of 30 million euros!"

"Outrageous, outrageous, this person's salary is worth the entire team of others!"

The tabloid only reported Lin Quan's annual salary, and did not disclose the signing fee offered by Manchester City.

If they also expose the signing fee, then I am afraid the fans will be even more shocked.

After seeing their club's response, Manchester City fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, many fans felt very worried when they learned that Lin Quan was chased by many top giants.

In the past few days, some people have been running outside Lin Quan's residence in Manchester with banners and slogans to keep him.

Although Lin Quan is no longer in Manchester, the fans have no other way but to express their true feelings in this way, hoping to pass it on to Lin Quan.

Now, seeing the club's attitude so firm, they suddenly have a bottom in their hearts.

Although the rumored salary is very high, in the eyes of Manchester City fans, their own star is fully worthy of this salary.

After all, the honors Lin Quan has won for the team in the past two seasons are enough to prove it.

Signing him is definitely the best deal Manchester City has ever made.

……

Manchester City's statement made several other clubs interested in competing for Lin Quan suddenly feel bad.

Whether it is Real Madrid or Barcelona, they are ready for Lin Quan to join the team this summer.

Especially Real Madrid, they all plan to sell Ronaldo for money to buy Lin Quan.

If Lin Quan doesn't come, won't Ronaldo be sold for nothing?

Therefore, upon hearing the news, Florentino immediately called his assistant and asked him:

"Have you found Lin Quan's whereabouts?"

Manchester City's attitude does not represent the player's attitude, and when Manchester City said that Lin Quan was not for sale last summer, Lin Quan also made it clear on the Internet.

But this summer, Lin Quanke didn't say that, which made Florentilo sense an opportunity.

He felt that if he could have direct contact with the players themselves, maybe things would have turned around!
