Chapter 66 Grand Paris Strikes Again, 280 Million Shocks Football

Paris, Paris Saint-Germain Club.

As the first club to chase Lin Quan, Paris Saint-Germain is also the club with the least confidence.

They were rejected by Lin Quan several times, and this time even if they prepared more money, they still felt that there was little hope of recruiting Lin Quan.

A supergiant of this level is really not a star like Cavani and Thiago Silva that money can buy.

Although the strength of Cavani, brother-in-law and others is strong, it is not impossible for them to reach their level in football, but the number is smaller.

But as a supergiant, there are only a handful of players in football who can compare with Lin Quan, and as the first person in today's football, there is no one who can surpass Lin Quan.

Grand Paris has never bought such a player, and it simply does not know how much it will cost to buy such a player.

Therefore, although they were the most aggressive offer this summer, they did not feel that they could really impress Lin Quan and bring the other party from Manchester City.

Therefore, while chasing Lin Quan, they privately began to make contact with Barcelona's supernova Neymar, intending to use Neymar as Lin Quan's spare tire.

Once the plan to recruit Lin Quan fails, then immediately switch to the work of recruiting Neymar.

Compared with Lin Quan's transfer difficulty, Neymar's transfer difficulty is much lower.

After all, the contract signed by Barcelona with him has clear liquidated damages, as long as you come up with liquidated damages, you can bypass the club and directly contact the player himself.

Once they negotiate with Neymar's agent, then Barcelona will not be able to do anything but watch them take Neymar away.

So, the key now is, is Neymar willing to leave?

"Well, what did Neymar's agent say?"

"Neymar's agent put forward several conditions, saying that as long as we meet these conditions, he will persuade the player himself to accept our offer and come to play in Paris."

Hearing this, the people at the Paris Saint-Germain club breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the conditions proposed by the other party are certainly not so easy to meet, as long as the conditions are proposed, it means that there is a drama in the transfer matter.

They are not afraid of the other party's conditions, they are afraid that the other party will be like Lin Quan's side, and they will not even give them the opportunity to meet, so it will really be useless.

There are three main conditions proposed by Neymar, one is salary, including annual salary, portrait rights, bonuses and the like.

Although Neymar's status in football is not as good as the three supergiants, he is basically the first person under the three supergiants now, so the salary must not be too low.

Otherwise, it will not match his status at all, after all, in Neymar's view, leaving Barcelona and jumping to play in Paris is completely condescending.

After all, Barcelona is a top giant, while Paris is just an upstart, and La Liga is currently one of the top leagues in the world, while Ligue 1 is the bottom of the top five leagues, and there is even a league that is overtaken by the Portuguese Super League.

Leaving La Liga to play in Ligue 1, Neymar's topic and exposure will be greatly reduced, and commercial income will also be affected, all of which will need to be compensated by Paris in terms of salary and bonuses.

The second is the status of the team, in order to attract Neymar to join, it is necessary to ensure that he becomes the boss of the dressing room and has the top position in the team.

Otherwise, Neymar might as well stay in Barcelona honestly, Messi is now 28 years old, and after playing for another four or five years, it is time to abdicate and make way for Xian, and after his death, as the prince of Barcelona, Neymar can logically succeed Messi and become the star of Barcelona.

If he hadn't wanted to prove himself earlier, Neymar wouldn't have had to risk leaving Barcelona at all.

Naturally, there is no problem with this request.

Since Paris spent a lot of money to buy Neymar, it naturally wants to cultivate him as a top name.

The third request made by Neymar is that they will not make any statement on the transfer matter, and all of it needs to be operated by the big Paris side.

In this process, they will not do anything like a strike or a boycott in order to cooperate with Paris.

Although Neymar has not been at Barcelona for long, he has spent two very happy years here and does not want to tear up his face with the club.

The meaning of this request is to let Grand Paris bargain with Barcelona on its own ability, and if it can be cut, it is the ability of Grand Paris.

If you can't cut it down, then honestly pay liquidated damages to block Barcelona's mouth and forcibly take people away.

With Barcelona's emphasis on Neymar, and the MSN system that Barcelona can't do without at present.

As long as they have ideas about the Champions League title, it is absolutely impossible to let Neymar go.

Therefore, the Grand Paris side does not need to try to bargain, they can only activate the liquidated damages clause to take Neymar away.

Fortunately, Neymar has not renewed his contract with Barcelona at this time, so his contract is still the initial contract signed in May 2013.

In the initial contract, Neymar's liquidated damages were only 190 million euros, which is much lower than the 220 million euros after the contract renewal.

For Grand Paris, if you make a move at this time, you can save 30 million euros, which is enough to buy a good star.

Grand Paris has a lot of money, and after reading the three conditions proposed by the other party, he immediately agreed.

It may be difficult for other clubs to make them pay 190 million euros, but for the poor Paris, who only have money left, it is the easiest.

"Well, at least we're not going to be out of harvest this summer!"

Neymar's side is basically finalized, all that remains is to hand over liquidated damages to Barcelona and bring the players to the Parc des Princes to make their debut.

However, before that, Grand Paris was in no hurry to make a move.

Obviously, they still want to struggle a little more to see if they can buy Lin Quan as well.

"Maybe it's impossible for other clubs to buy two supergiants at the same time, but for us in Paris, it's not a problem at all, we have money, as long as we can solve the problem with money, it's not a problem."

But the matter of buying Lin Quan doesn't seem to be solved with money, which is very worrying.

Manchester City have already rejected the first offer from Grand Paris, and the player himself has not been approached.

In this case, they will either continue to increase their offer or try to contact the player privately.

But Grand Paris is a French team, and the owner behind it is a wealthy Qatari man, who has no connections and connections in Spain, and it is impossible to easily meet the player himself like Real Madrid and Barcelona, the local snake.

As for the contact with the player's agent, the other party did not give them this opportunity at all.

So there's only one way left – keep adding money!

So, on 10 July, Grand Paris continued its efforts and mustered up the courage to submit a second offer to Manchester City.

This offer adds 30 million euros to the original offer, yes, it was saved from Neymar's side.

With the addition of these 30 million euros, the offer of Grand Paris has reached an incredible 280 million euros.

After receiving the offer from Grand Paris, Manchester City was also taken aback.

"Crazy people, what a bunch of crazy people, don't Qataris treat money as money? Spending 280 million euros just to buy a player? ”

Although they are also called nouveau riche, although behind them are also the big conglomerates of the Middle East.

But compared with the Qataris who are generous and spend a lot of money, Manchester City is still ashamed of itself.

It's really not comparable!

Since the establishment of Manchester City, there has not been a transaction with a transfer fee of more than 50 million!

They bought the most expensive player, which was Kroos who bought Kroos from Bayern Munich for 50 million during the 13-year winter break.

As for Lin Quan, this is a player signed by Manchester City without a transfer fee, and Manchester City has not spent a penny on him.

Who would have thought that this player signed with zero transfer fee would now earn 280 million euros with a single change of hands!

This is also an exaggeration!

The news that Grand Paris has raised its offer again spread, and when people learned that Grand Paris offered a sky-high transfer fee of 280 million euros in order to attract Lin Quan, they were all shocked.

"280 million euros, should I say that Grand Paris is stupid and how good the money is, or do they really think that Lin Quan is worth so much money?"

"At this price, I'm afraid I can buy most of the teams in the five major leagues!"

"The current transfer fee record in football is only 100 million euros, and if Lin Huang's deal can be completed, it will immediately break the transfer fee record in football!"

"And once this record is made, I'm afraid that no one will be able to break it in the next ten years!"

"With a transfer fee of 280 million, except for the teams backed by Middle Eastern tycoons, none of the traditional clubs can afford it, right?"

"Indeed, I feel that even the three clubs of Huang Saren can't afford to pay so much money!"

"Alas, in the past few years, Manchester City has bought players in the transfer market, which has raised the value of players a lot, and now Paris is even more excessive, further blowing up the bubble."

"Who says it's not, the value and wages of the players are rising, but the operating income can't keep up with the rise in salaries, and if this continues, those small and medium-sized clubs in football may not be able to afford to play."

"Not to mention small and medium-sized clubs, which of those giants is not facing losses?"

"That's right, the financial reports of the Bundesliga clubs are a little better, the giants of other leagues are almost all losing money, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the most losing, thanks to their large number of members, they can barely hold on, and if it is other clubs, they have long been dragged down by this salary system."

The outside world is worried about the rapid rise in the value and salary of players, and they all believe that this will not be conducive to the healthy development of the league.

Therefore, for this offer of Grand Paris, many people feel that it is not a good thing.

If this transfer is really reached, then the upper limit of the transfer fee in football in the future will not be Ronaldo's 96 million euros, but Lin Quan's 280 million euros.

With Lin Quan's example in the past, the transfer fee in football will officially enter the threshold of 100 million yuan, and it is basically impossible to buy a better player in the future without spending 100 million.

So, apart from the fans of Grand Paris, almost no other fans want this deal to happen.

The fans of Grand Paris did not know at this time that the club had already dealt with Neymar privately.

When they learned that the club had raised their offer again and wanted to bring a real superstar to the team, they were all very excited.

Although Manchester City and Lin Quan have not yet made a statement, many people feel that no club can refuse this offer.

In addition to the sky-high transfer fee of 280 million for Manchester City, the contract prepared for Lin Quan is also very sincere.

They offered Lin Quan a big contract with a five-year time limit and an annual salary of 35 million euros.

In addition to this ultra-high annual salary, they also prepared a signing fee of 100 million euros and a loyalty award of 250 million euros for Lin Quan.

If Lin Quan really goes to Grand Paris and fulfills this contract, then he will be able to get a total of 625 million euros from Grand Paris in the past five years, an average of 105 million per year.

That's a lot higher than the treatment on Manchester City's side!

Of course, if Lin Quan is really willing to come, then Paris will not buy Neymar again.

After all, they promised Neymar a salary of up to 30 million euros, and they couldn't afford to support them because of UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act.

Lin Quan didn't know about the contract prepared for him by Grand Paris, and even if he knew, he wouldn't have any interest.

In the previous life, Messi's life in Paris was not very good, and the fans here would boo their players at their home stadium and disrespect the players at all.

And Messi was not booed for his poor performance, but because of the national team.

With Messi's experience, Lin Quan has no good impression of Paris, and in the World Cup in Russia three years later, Spain is very likely to encounter the rising French team on the field.

If he did go to Paris, if Spain beat France to win the championship, he would be the one who was booed.

Moreover, Messi only signed with the other party for two years because of his age, and he could leave at any time when the two-year contract expired.

But Grand Paris gave Lin Quan a five-year contract, and in the World Cup year, his contract is still two years.

When the time comes, he will not be able to leave as dashing as Messi.

So, it's best not to jump into a fire pit like Grand Paris from the start.

In addition, the Qatari consortium behind Grand Paris did not leave a good impression on Lin Quan.

is also a consortium from the Middle East, and the Abu Dhabi consortium is much more professional.

They are taking one step at a time in terms of football development, and they are walking very steadily.

On the other hand, the Qatari consortium came with a political mission, the main purpose of which was to promote the Qatar World Cup in 7 years, so they were eager for the development of the club.

Just thinking about buying big-name stars to increase popularity and expand influence, he doesn't care whether the team's lineup is reasonable or not, and he doesn't have any long-term plan at all.

The big Paris of the later generations brought together Messi, Neymar and Mbappe at the same time, but they were reluctant to spend money to improve the configuration of the backfield, resulting in the team being top-heavy and unable to play a tough battle.

Such a top-heavy way of building a team is simply the behavior of a layman.

Do you really think that you can win by stacking superstars in the front court?

Don't they know that football is a team sport?

At that time, the Qatari consortium had bought Grand Paris for more than ten years, how could it not be?

Such unprofessional behavior can only show that they are not serious or do not pay attention to it at all!

Lin Quan was completely uninterested in Paris, and on the weekend, he went to the La Masia academy as promised and met with a group of teammates in the national team, even Xavi, who had announced his departure from Barcelona, also came to the academy.

In addition to these team-mates, he also met Cruyff, the founder of La Masia's academy.
