The day after the first leg of the Europa League round of 16, the news of "whether Van Gaal is out of class" occupied the front pages of major media.

And just two days later, Manchester United CEO Woodward was photographed by a reporter from The Sun with the world-famous coach Jose Mourinho and football predator Mendes dining together in a high-end restaurant!

This photo directly detonated the entire British football world and became a hot topic among fans.

Many in the industry believe that this photo says it all.

The painful result of the big defeat at home to Leicester City made the Manchester United hierarchy completely lose patience with Louis van Gaal.

This meeting must be that Manchester United wants to change the coach.

And Jose Mourinho is their best choice!

There are also some people familiar with the matter, claiming that Manchester United have already reached a private agreement with Mourinho, and this meeting is just to further deepen the relationship between the two sides and prepare for next season in advance.

Some people even suggested that the focus of this meeting was not on Mourinho, but on Mendes!

You know, Mendes is not only Mourinho's agent, but also the agent of many superstars.

For example, the World Cup Golden Boot J Ronaldo, who plays for Real Madrid but has seen his playing time plummeted this season, and the midfielder Moutinho, who plays for Monaco

Of course, Mendes is now the most concerned player by the giants than Ling Feng, who has just led Leicester City to defeat Manchester United!

According to media reports, these are all on United's list of potential signings for next season.

And, which giant will Ling Feng join next season?!

In terms of the league, the lead is huge, with ten games remaining, as long as there are not all injuries suddenly, and five or six games in a row, it is only a matter of time before they win the championship.

Leicester City have already won the League Cup this season.

It's just to go to the Champions League to make a wave of money, and then take the third place in the group and continue to win the Europa League!

That's – can Leicester win the treble this season?!

With a three-goal win over Manchester United away, Leicester City are all but locked up a place in the last eight.

Therefore, Manchester United boss Woodward may also be considering the summer window's recruitment plan when he meets Mendes.

Some say they did it on purpose.

Just one photo has attracted almost all the attention of the British media.

Therefore, the only remaining suspense now is whether Leicester City can complete a historic breakthrough in the Europa League and hit the team's first Europa League title in history!

As the team with the best chance of competing for the title among the English teams, the British media certainly hope that Leicester City can finally win the title.

However, for two consecutive seasons, they were unable to qualify for the Champions League, finishing third in the Europa League before winning the trophy.

Such an answer also made many Manchester United fans begin to think about it.

Could it be that the club really intends to sign Ling Feng?!

"Ling Feng is a super talent that all teams dream of, and as a club that wants to be successful, of course we want to sign him as well. Let's do what happens next."

However, when asked by reporters if Manchester United were considering signing Ling Feng, Woodward smiled mysteriously and gave a meaningful answer:

Of course, this statement is just a joke.

For this reason, they also wrote an article to analyze a wave.

As the top favourites to win the Europa League, Emery's La Liga side Sevilla have won the Europa League for two consecutive seasons.

Among the remaining teams in the Europa League, apart from Sevilla and Borussia Dortmund, the other opponents are not worth mentioning.

and clarified the purpose of having dinner with Mourinho and Mendes, claiming that it was just a small gathering between friends.

Manchester United's influence and traffic can be seen!

However, in an interview with the media, the Manchester United boss also firmly denied the rumours that Louis van Gaal would be out of class.

With Van Gaal's dismissal turmoil temporarily over, the British media, who are not idle, have also found more news worth reporting.

But it is undeniable that Sevilla's team's dominance in the Europa League is absolutely leveraged.

As for Borussia Dortmund, Tuchel is second in the league this season, five points behind Bayern Munich and as many as a dozen points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen in third-placed places.

With Bayern's dominance and stability in the Bundesliga, Dortbasic has no hope of winning multiple league titles.

Therefore, in order to attack the championship trophy, Dort will definitely focus more on the German Cup, which has reached the semi-finals, and the Europa League.

In the first leg of the round of 16, they beat Tottenham Hotspur by three goals at home and basically locked a place in the quarter-finals.

Sevilla and Borussia Dortmund are definitely the two rivals that Leicester City wants to compete for the Europa League title!

After analyzing the possibility of the Blue Fox winning the Europa League, the media also began to analyze Ling Feng's future.

In an online poll held by The Times, fans were surveyed and asked, "Do you think Ling Feng will leave Leicester City in the summer?" ”

In the final voting results, almost 90% of the participants believed that Ling Feng would inevitably leave Leicester City in the summer and switch to the giants!

Without him, it's just because the small temple in Leicester City can no longer accommodate the great god Ling Feng!

Even if Leicester City this season has a good chance of miraculously winning the Premier League...

。。。

Syllable!

Casually throwing the "Sun News" on the coffee table, Ling Feng turned his head to look at Mendes, who was sitting on the sofa next to him and drinking tea calmly, pointed to a photo in the newspaper, and said:

"How come you're photographed by the paparazzi all day long meeting with those big names in the club? Can't you go to some more intimate places when you big people get together? ”

As the season draws to a close and summer draws closer, the big man in European football is starting to get busy.

Over the past week, Mendes has been present all over Europe.

One second he was having dinner with Manchester United CEO Woodward in Manchester, and the next second he was in London, tasting the new red wine from the other winery with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

Or maybe I just had macarons with Paris director Leonardo in Paris today, and the next day I appeared in Munich and talked and laughed with Bayern president Rummenigge

In the face of Ling Feng's ridicule, Mendes just smiled slightly and spread his hands:

"Young people, it's my profession and my job to fly around in the sky and meet people everywhere like you play in the stadium where tens of thousands of people cheer."

"Besides, those dear journalists are our friends who feed us well. They can help us say something that we can't say but want to say, can't they? ”

Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but think of the last time Mendes manipulated the media, and raised his eyebrows.

"Worthy of a professional!"

Giving Mendes a thumbs up for his work, Ling Feng immediately changed his words, "So, what are the conditions that the club has offered me?" ”

With the team's record too amazing, Leicester City, a small team from a small town in the middle of England, is also receiving more and more attention.

Coupled with the intensifying transfer rumors, Leicester City FC is also aware that the team's players are being eyed by other clubs.

Especially Ling Feng, whose performance can be called explosive!

Therefore, in order to keep this leading star, the club's senior management also quickly launched the contract renewal process with Ling Feng.

And the club's director Rudjin also contacted Ling Feng's agent Mendes and conveyed his willingness to renew Ling Feng's contract.

Although it has been decided to leave in the summer.

But Ling Feng didn't plan to announce the news to his club and teammates before the season was over.

As for the renewal, of course, it is impossible.

However, in order to stabilize the club and not let his personal affairs affect the team's next league and cup titles, Mendes still met with Rudkin and learned the conditions of the club's first round of contract renewal:

"180,000 weekly salary, £5,000,000 signing fee, various bonus terms"

Compared with the current contract, the treatment of the new contract has increased significantly.

The weekly salary has risen from 130,000 to 180,000, and the signing fee has nearly doubled.

I have to say that Leicester City has made a lot of money in order to keep him.

You know, Leicester City is not one of those Premier League giants who have been in the Premier League for many years, but a promoted horse who just got promoted to the Premier League last season.

Even if the team is promoted to the Premier League, it can earn tens of millions of pounds in broadcast revenue.

And if you win the league this year, there will be a lot of ranking bonuses.

However, in terms of commercial income and financial resources, Leicester City cannot compete with other Premier League teams.

And what is the concept of 180,000 yuan weekly salary?

In the entire Premier League, the only players with a higher weekly salary than him are Manchester United top player and Red Devils captain Wayne Rooney (300,000), the two major contributors to Manchester City's rise, Aguero and Yaya Toure (240,000), Chelsea's "King of the Ball" Hazard (220,000) and Manchester City's "Magic" David Silva (200,000)!

And such conditions are extremely lucrative for any young player in football who is 20 years old.

This is enough to see the sincerity of Leicester City.

However, Ling Feng is not an ordinary young player in his twenties.

He is the best academy prince in the history of Leicester City, a European golden boy plus the best newcomer in the World Cup at the age of nineteen, the Premier League single-season assist king, and the core of the Three Lions midfield and the Premier League MVP at the age of 20.

Of course, if he wants to stay, even if the treatment is not as good as that of other giants, Ling Feng will gladly renew the contract.

The key is to stay in Leicester City, it is impossible to win the Ballon d'Or!

Even if he blew up his personal data and led the team to the Premier League and Champions League titles, he may not be able to beat other rivals in the big clubs.

The reason is simple, the fame and influence of the club are not of an order of magnitude at all!

That's why clubs are divided into small clubs and big clubs.

After all, it has taken decades and countless trophies to build up the prestige and influence of football, how can you compare with others as a small club?!

Therefore, if he wants to hit the Ballon d'Or, Ling Feng must go to a larger club platform, and then use the influence of the club to be able to compete with those who are at the top of football.

So, for the sake of his career, he had no choice but to leave.

Helping Leicester City win as many trophies as possible before leaving was one of his gifts to the club

Looking at Ling Feng, who was deep in thought, Mendes thought that he was reluctant to leave, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade:

"That salary package sounds good. However, if you join a big club, I will definitely be able to get you a better package! ”

"Of course, I also know that you are reluctant to leave this club and this city. However, this is the only way to become the best in the world! ”

"Leicester's stage is too small, and your light is too dazzling to let more people see your performance."

"Don't you want to be the best player in the world, standing on that great stage that everyone looks up to, and lifting that Golden Ball?!"

Mendes's words were infectious.

However, for Ling Feng, who had already made a decision, Mendes's wave of persuasion could be regarded as a punch on the cotton.

Ling Feng just smiled slightly, and then answered:

"Don't worry, Jorge, my goal has always been to be the best in the world."

"That's why I work with the best brokers in the world!"

Catching up with Ling Feng's eyes full of determination, Mendes also suddenly understood, and couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

This kid, that's good!

After the sensationalism, Ling Feng also immediately followed the conversation and asked, "By the way, which clubs are interested in me now?" ”

"There are quite a few big clubs that have a strong interest in you at the moment. However, your transfer is a bit complicated. ”

"How?"

In the face of Ling Feng's curiosity, Mendes said proudly and helplessly:

"Because you're too expensive!"

"These big European clubs are willing to make a bid for you. But if Leicester City want to keep you, other clubs will have to trigger the release clause if they want to take you away! ”

"But there are only a handful of clubs that can afford to produce 90 million pounds!"

Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Speaking of which, the reason for such a dilemma is his own reason.

If you want to blame, blame the speed of his rise in football, it's too fast!

This is like playing FIFA's player career mode, he went from a [Premier League newcomer] in his 70s to a [world's top player] with a total rating of 90+ in just two years

The value has also soared from 10 million to 80 or 90 million, directly skipping the range of 30 or 40 million and 50 million, and becoming one of the most expensive players in the world!

As a result, only a handful of supergiants are left with clubs that can afford his transfer fee.

It makes sense!

"So, even if I want to transfer, I can only choose among these clubs that can afford the transfer fee?"

"I'm sorry, that's the case."

"Which ones can afford me?"

"Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Paris, Chelsea, Arsenal!"
