Chapter 156 Real Madrid offers Lin Feng 3000 million! (Chinese National Football Team Extra)
"What? Juventus wants to poach me? No, no, I'd rather go to AC Milan than Juventus!"
Lin Feng was surprised when he received a call from his elder brother.
Juventus actually sent someone to contact him privately and expressed their interest in him.
"Really not considering it? Juventus has a lot of history in Serie A. It can be said to be an evergreen in the league. It has also had a glorious history in the Champions League. Its record in recent years is also good. Joining such a team will make it easier for you to achieve results than staying in Inter Milan."
The reason why he did not refuse Juventus's goodwill after receiving it was that he took into account Juventus's historical heritage and current strength, which might be a better platform for Lin Feng.
"No, at least not within the next ten years!"
But Lin Feng's attitude was very firm, leaving no room for maneuver at all.
Are you kidding me?
Joining Juventus before Calciopoli in 2006?
Doesn't that mean joining the National Army in 49?
When Juventus is sanctioned by the Italian Football Association and ordered to be relegated, will I also play in the Serie B with the team?
And even if Juventus can quickly return to the top league, after suffering a heavy blow from the Calciopoli scandal, it will take at least five or six years for the Old Lady to recover.
Compared to Juventus, staying at Inter Milan is more promising.
After all, after Juventus and AC Milan were devastated by the Calciopoli scandal, Inter Milan became the only team dominating the Serie A league.
Of course, the overall strength of Serie A is declining, but it may not be so obvious before.
But the outbreak of the phone-gate scandal was like driving the final nail into the coffin of Serie A.
Therefore, most players with ideals and ambitions choose to leave Serie A and go to La Liga or the Premier League.
Lin Feng has no plan to stick to Serie A forever. It is just a stepping stone for him to enter the top five leagues.
After asking his eldest brother for a list of teams that were interested in him, Lin Feng rejected all contacts from the teams.
He will not leave Serie A at least until the end of this season.
But knowing in advance which teams are interested in him will be of great reference value for his future transfers.
……
The outside world's hype about Lin Feng's transfer was initially only seen in various unknown tabloids.
But as the transfer deadline approaches, such reports have begun to appear in some mainstream media.
On January 1, Real Madrid's mouthpiece AS disclosed a piece of news: Real Madrid has submitted an offer of up to 27 million euros to Inter Milan, wanting to bring Lin Feng to the Bernabeu.
It is said that this offer was decided by Florentino himself, and the old man specifically wanted to bring Lin Feng to the Bernabeu!
If this deal is finally successful, Lin Feng will become the first Asian player to join Real Madrid!
Considering that Barcelona already has Feng Xiaoting in the team, once Lin Feng really transfers to Real Madrid, both Spanish Super League giants will have Chinese players playing for them.
The next Spanish national derby may feature a Chinese derby!
As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, AS is different from other tabloids. The news they report is highly credible.
So when this news came out, it immediately set off the entire football world.
Major European media outlets followed suit and confirmed the news with the two clubs in an attempt to dig out more inside information.
The fans were discussing the matter heatedly, arguing over the truth of the news.
"It's fake, right? How could Real Madrid spend such a high price to buy an Asian?"
"What's wrong with being Asian? Lin Feng is the winner of last year's Golden Boy Award. His statistics at Inter Milan are even better than Ronaldinho's. I think he totally deserves this offer!"
"Can we find another attacking midfielder in football who is not even 18 years old but can score more than ten goals and provide more than ten assists in half a season?"
"Yes, don't look at his young age, this kid is really strong. If Real Madrid can really buy him for 3000 million, it will definitely be worth it!"
"Wasn't there a rumor before that Zidane might announce his retirement after the World Cup? If we don't fight for Lin Feng now, when the World Cup is over and Zidane really retires, then it won't be a matter of 3000 million. It's very likely that we won't be able to get him for 4000 million or even 5000 million!"
At a time when the classic attacking midfielder is transforming into a modern attacking midfielder, attacking midfielders are still relatively scarce in today's football world.
Especially there are even fewer attacking midfielders like Lin Feng who have excellent scoring ability and can also take into account organization, passing, rhythm control and even defense.
The reason why Real Madrid is so eager is not only because of the aging lineup, but also because of the election of the team's president.
Florentino faces fierce competition from Calderon, and the Galacticos he built has begun to decline in performance as the lineup ages, putting him at a disadvantage in the competition.
It has been four or five years since the first phase of the Galacticos. Figo's departure, the shortcomings of the lineup and the injuries of star players caused the Galacticos to fall quickly after a brief takeoff.
Real Madrid's record in the league this season is very bad. It once dropped to 15th place in the league standings, just one step away from the relegation zone.
In this state, let alone suppressing their arch-rival Barcelona, they may not even be able to secure a spot in the Champions League next season.
Real Madrid, with nine Champions League trophies, is one of the most successful clubs on the planet. Wouldn't it be a huge joke if it couldn't even play in the Champions League?
If he were to run for president with this record, his chances of being re-elected would be slim.
Therefore, the reconstruction of Real Madrid was naturally put on the agenda.
Currently, Real Madrid has stars such as Raul and Ronaldo on the front line, and Beckham and Robinho on the flanks.
The areas that need to be strengthened in the front court are mainly in the midfield, or more precisely, the attacking midfielder.
Although the 34-year-old Zidane is getting better with age, the decline in his physical fitness is still inevitable.
In recent seasons, his performance in the league has declined and he has obviously entered the end of his career.
Real Madrid must find a qualified successor for him as soon as possible. Looking at the entire football world, there are very few midfielders who can take on the role of Zidane's successor.
Florentino originally had his eyes on AC Milan's Kaka and Ronaldinho, the star player of their league rivals.
But after Lin Feng's rapid rise, Real Madrid has another option.
Lin Feng is very young, and there is no need to worry about his condition declining in the next fifteen years.
In addition, there is a huge market of 13 billion people behind him.
Whether from the perspective of competitive sports or from the perspective of commercial development, he is a very good choice.
So Real Madrid's offer is sincere.
But Inter Milan’s refusal was also very straightforward!
"What a joke! We spent 2000 million to buy Lin Feng, and Real Madrid wants to take him away for 3000 million. Is there such a cheap thing in the world?"
Inter Milan felt humiliated after receiving Real Madrid's offer.
Granted, earning $1000 million in half a season sounds like a pretty good deal.
But in reality, the prices paid and the risks borne by both sides are completely disproportionate.
When Inter Milan spent a whopping 2000 million euros to bring Lin Feng to the Meazza, Lin Feng had almost no outstanding achievements or honors except for the MVP of the World Youth Championship.
In addition, he is too young and the level of the team he played for before is very low. Inter Milan used a method that was almost like gambling and spent a huge amount of money with great courage to sign Lin Feng.
Although Lin Feng did kick out later, it even exceeded everyone's expectations.
But you have to admit that the risk is very high. If Lin Feng fails to play well, Inter Milan's 2000 million will be wasted. Now, after the test of Serie A and the Champions League, Lin Feng has fully proved his strength. Not only did he win the European Golden Boy Award, which is a very important personal honor, but his data in the league and the Champions League are also particularly impressive.
In this case, if Real Madrid spends money to buy him, the risk will be much smaller, and naturally there will be suspicion of picking peaches.
Inter Milan is not short of money, and Moratti will not sell the core of the team for just 1000 million euros, especially during the winter transfer window.
He also counts on the combination of Lin Feng and Adriano to help Inter Milan win the league and Champions League titles!
Not surprisingly, Inter Milan rejected Real Madrid's offer outright.
Although this response was not surprising for the two clubs, it was even expected by Real Madrid.
But after the outside world learned that Inter Milan decisively rejected Real Madrid's offer, they couldn't help but exclaimed:
It turns out that this thing is actually true!
Lin Feng is actually worth 3000 million!
What’s more, Inter Milan thinks it’s too little and is unwilling to sell it!
What does this mean?
This means that Lin Feng’s net worth exceeds 3000 million. If you want to take him away, you have to pay more!
……
At first, when the news came out that a European team had made an offer to Inter Milan and wanted to take Lin Feng away, major domestic media and fans all treated the matter with a wait-and-see attitude.
But as the news from Europe became more and more convincing, its authenticity became more and more true.
Domestic reporters and fans are no longer calm!
Azhen, are you serious?
I thought it was a rumor, but I didn’t expect that Real Madrid actually wanted to buy Lin Feng!
"3000 million euros? Am I seeing things? If this transfer goes through, wouldn't it break the record for the highest transfer fee in Asia?"
The last time Lin Feng transferred to Inter Milan, he almost broke Hidetoshi Nakata's record for the highest transfer fee for an Asian player. This incident has been bothering many fans.
And now, when his transfer fee has soared to 3000 million, once the transfer is completed, he will definitely surpass Hidetoshi Nakata's record and become the number one in Asia.
"This is not a question of value. This is Real Madrid! The most successful and most profound team in the world! If Lin Feng can really join Real Madrid, he will be the undisputed number one in Asia!"
Later, Son Heung-min became the top player in Asia thanks to his transfer to Tottenham.
And now, if Lin Feng can join a truly top club like Real Madrid, then the throne of Asia’s number one will definitely be his, and no one can take it away from him!
"It doesn't matter whether we are the in Asia or not. The main thing is that we don't want the little people in China and South Korea to be proud of themselves in front of us. We may not be the , but we definitely cannot let Japan and South Korea be the !"
……
In the last few days of January, Inter Milan players on the training ground keenly noticed that the number of reporters coming to the outside of the stadium had increased, and a lot more.
Although there are usually quite a few reporters gathered outside the training base, this is the first time that there are so many reporters.
Looking at the cameras and long guns outside, the team members were inevitably affected.
Many people even lost interest in training and started discussing quietly:
"What's going on? Why are there so many reporters here all of a sudden?"
"I don't know? Is it because we broke the league's winning streak that they all came to report on us?"
"Isn't that it? It should be about Lin's transfer!"
As soon as these words came out, the players around them subconsciously pricked up their ears and held their breath, fearing that they would miss any details.
"Lin is transferring? Where to?"
"It is said that he is going to Real Madrid!"
"Is this true? Are you sure?"
This news was so shocking that the other players who were still training on the training ground lost interest in continuing.
The absolute core of the team is about to be poached, who has the heart to train?
Most Inter Milan players felt uneasy and even terrified about this news.
They know too well how important Lin Feng is to the team. Without him, Inter Milan's tactical system would have to be rebuilt.
But a few players, such as Cambiasso, Veron and Stankovic, were relieved after hearing the news.
These people are competitors of Lin Feng. If Lin Feng leaves, their playing time and tactical status will be improved, especially Stankovic.
He had even begun to fantasize about the beautiful vision of himself replacing Lin Feng after he left and becoming Inter Milan's new midfield leader.
"Go back to training and stop spreading rumors. The club has rejected Real Madrid's offer. Lin will not leave us!"
Captain Zanetti saw his teammates slacking off, so he clapped his hands and spoke loudly.
But his rumor-refuting did not seem to have much effect, and the team members were still skeptical about the news.
Especially when they saw that Lin Feng, who always arrived early, had not shown up yet, many players even began to speculate:
Has Lin Feng already packed up his bags and run away to report to Real Madrid?
Lin Feng did not come to the morning training. His absence made the players on the training ground and the reporters outside the barbed wire fence of the training base couldn't help but imagine a lot.
Is he really going to Real Madrid?
But just when they were trying to gather information from various sources and were even tempted to disclose the news as a report, Lin Feng finally arrived.
……
As soon as Lin Feng drove the car to the outside of the training base, the reporters waiting outside rushed up from all directions.
Faced with the media reporters who swarmed over to interview him, Lin Fengren was a little confused.
what's the situation?
Why are there so many reporters here?
Are you here specifically to block me?
"Lin, may I ask if you have accepted Real Madrid's invitation and are about to report to La Liga?"
"Is it true that you have joined Real Madrid?"
"May I ask why you want to leave Inter Milan?"
"How much annual salary does Real Madrid offer you?"
The reporters didn't care whether Lin Feng was convenient or not. They all held out their microphones to him, wishing they could put them into Lin Feng's mouth.
The reporter's question confused Lin Feng: When did I join Real Madrid?
How come I don’t know?
The Chinese national football team played well in this game. Let’s keep up the good work in the next game and try to beat Bahrain!
