Chapter 372: Retire after success? He really made me cry to death!
The news from Mendes was like a thunder that struck Rudkin's heart.
Although I had long expected that the small temple of Leicester City would not be able to retain a superstar like Ling Feng.
However, when this day came, Rudkin was still a little hard to accept.
If it were other players, he could still make his own decisions.
However, this concerns the team's star player and the darling of the fans, so he does not dare to make any unauthorized claims.
In desperation, he could only report to the team owner Vichai.
At Vichai's order, Leicester City's management immediately held an emergency meeting.
However, after some intense discussions, they discovered that Ling Feng’s departure was a foregone conclusion!
Even if they wanted to prevent Ling Feng from transferring and leaving, or even use other means to coerce Ling Feng to stay, they couldn't do it at all.
Because, Ling Feng's contract has a termination clause of 90 million pounds.
As long as there is a club bid, you can bypass the club and directly negotiate the transfer with Ling Feng himself.
In the end, after discussions at a high-level meeting, the club’s top management quickly reached an agreement:
If a club really spends a huge sum of 90 million pounds, it will trigger Ling Feng’s termination fee. Terms, then he can leave!
But if he loses one piece, he can’t even think of leaving the Belvoir base!
Of course they hope that the team can keep Ling Feng, a British superstar who came out of the youth training.
However, they are also very self-aware and know that the platform of Leicester City cannot bear Ling Feng's terrifying growth rate.
Perhaps, breaking up amicably is the best choice for both parties
Of course, 90 million pounds is not a small amount of money.
At the current exchange rate, this is equivalent to 105 million euros!
Not every wealthy club can afford this price.
You know, the transfer fee for Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the Ballon d'Or that year, from Manchester United to Real Madrid was only 96 million euros (80 million pounds)
And Gareth Bale, another best player in the Premier League, moved to Real Madrid three years ago for a transfer fee of 100 million euros!
This means that if a club really triggers Ling Feng’s termination clause, then Ling Feng will surpass Ronaldo and Bale and become the player with the highest transfer fee in football!
But if the offer from other wealthy clubs does not reach 90 million pounds, Ling Feng, who has a contract, will have no choice but to stay with the team.
Leicester City management feels that this possibility is still possible.
Even in their opinion, Ling Feng at this time was even stronger than Bell back then.
But spending 100 million euros on a player is still very risky.
However, their idea is destined to be a beautiful extravagant hope.
The reason why Ling Feng attracted the attention of many wealthy families in Europe is not without reason!
You know, he is a terrifying existence that completely outlasts Mero at his age!
In his first season in the Premier League, he won the Premier League assists title, breaking Henry's assist record, and helped the newly promoted Leicester City break the monopoly of the giants and enter the top six in the league!
At the age of twenty, he led Leicester City to win the first Premier League championship in team history and the European Championship, once again won the Premier League assists title, and won all the personal honors in the Premier League!
In addition to the success of the club, he also experienced the baptism of international competitions such as the World Cup and European Cup with the Three Lions, and his performance in the competition was equally amazing.
If the 21-year-old Melo can be acquired for 100 million, no matter which wealthy club it is, they will not hesitate to spend the money and put the money into the arms of Leicester City Club.
Shut up and take my money!
. . .
With the European Cup over, football has officially entered the busy summer transfer window.
After passing the European Cup inspection, major clubs also started to take action.
Many stars have used the European Cup as a stage to show their worth and show their talents, thus entering the vision of wealthy clubs.
However, the headline news of the 2016 summer transfer window is destined to belong to Ling Feng!
On the night when Mendes applied for a transfer to Leicester City Club, the famous transfer reporter Romano announced this explosive news on his social media!
“According to reliable sources, Leicester City star Ling Feng has decided to leave! And he has informed the club of his decision.”
“You can guess what his next move will be. Where will the first stop be?”
As the most famous sports reporter in today’s football, Romano is undoubtedly the “peak” of sports journalism
Although he is only 23 years old, his qualifications in sports journalism are not as senior as those of his predecessor Di Marzio.
However, the accuracy of his reporting, coupled with the influence of modern social media, quickly promoted him to the "No. 1 transfer reporting brother" in the minds of fans
After Romano This verified news instantly detonated the entire British football world, and even the entire European football world!
Last summer, in fact, the major European clubs had already taken a fancy to Ling Feng, who suddenly emerged, and they all offered olive branches.
However, Ling Feng was very determined to stay with the team at that time, rejected all offers, and then resolutely completed the contract extension with Leicester City.
At that time, everyone was sighing for Ling Feng's loyalty.
Many Blue Fox fans thought that Ling Fengfeng would stay in Leicester City.
However, after helping Leicester City create a miracle for the Blue Fox and winning the first Premier League championship and European championship in team history, this guy actually took the initiative to apply for a transfer? !
In just one year, his attitude changed drastically.
Why? !
Faced with everyone's confusion, the media quickly helped Ling Feng find the reason:
It's not that Ling Feng doesn't want to join a bigger club and stand on a higher stage.
He just wants to retire after winning a sufficient championship for Leicester City!
This is also the best reward for the team to cultivate themselves.
This wave of analysis is indeed on point, and has received praise from many famous players in England.
Most Blue Fox fans who thought Ling Feng wanted to transfer because he was tempted by the high salary from a wealthy club burst into tears.
He really made me cry to death!
Although I can understand Ling Feng's idea of switching to a wealthy club.
However, 99.9% of Blue Fox fans do not want Ling Feng, their own child trained by the team, to leave.
For a time, Ling Feng’s personal social media was flooded by a large number of fans, and the comments began to flood the screen:
"Ling! Don't leave!"
"This is your home!"
"We need you! Don't leave!"
Except for the blue fox who doesn't want him to leave In addition to fans, fans of other teams also come to join in the fun.
“Come to Bayern, we will treat you as our own!”
"A good man should join the army! Red Army Liverpool welcomes you!"
"Come to Manchester City (Chelsea)! Our boss is super rich!"
In addition to fans, in order to capture Ling Feng transfer With the first-hand news, the paparazzi were dispatched one after another to kill Sardinia.
Fortunately, Ling Feng predicted the media's "pursuit"
In order to avoid being involved in the huge turmoil caused by his transfer, he came to Sardinia far away from England in advance Take a vacation and book the entire resort directly!
Under the protection of many security guards in the resort, unless the paparazzi have the disguise ability of Killer 47, they will definitely not be able to get within five meters of him
At a time when the British football world is in shock due to his news , on a beach far away on the southern tip of Sardinia in the Mediterranean
Ling Feng, Rooney, Kane, Jesse Lingard, Henderson and other Three Lions national players were all naked to the upper body and playing beach football with bare feet.
The rules of the game are very simple, three people form a group, and every ball must be passed to the opponent without letting the ball fall.
Once the ball falls on the ground or is passed to a teammate, a point is lost.
Whichever team loses ten points first will lose.
And the bet is the cost of the barbecue and drinks for the evening!
"Please! Pass the ball accurately!" "Jamie,"
"Ling, right foot! Don't use your left foot!"
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm practicing my left foot!"
While everyone was having a great time, Barbara, wearing a sexy black lace bikini, came to the beach with her mobile phone:< br>
“Baby, I have a call for you!”
“Who is it?”
“Jorge.”
Hearing this, Ling Feng casually kicked the flying ball back to Kane on the opposite side, then raised his hands and said:
"Guys, I'll excuse you."
Then , he pointed at Rashford who was sitting on the sidelines watching, and said: "Marcus, help me push it first!"
Hearing this, Rashford looked childish and green. Shford immediately jumped up and responded with a bright face:
"Roger that!"
Leaving the warm beach and coming under the umbrella, Ling Feng picked up a glass of freshly squeezed juice and took a sip before answering the phone:
"Hello?"
"Ling, they have already Let’s go!”
“Them?”
“Yes, Manchester United’s Executive Chairman Woodward and José”
Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"You mean, they are going to come to Sardinia to see me?"
Oh, Manchester United is quite generous.
"Yes! Clean up, We will arrive at your place in about half an hour."
"I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Barbara asked curiously:
“Who do you want to see?”
“The CEO of Manchester United and the head coach.”
< br>Although she already knew that her boyfriend was planning to leave Leicester City, Barbara did not know which team he was planning to transfer to.
However, she is ready to face the new environment and new team together.
"Baby, do you like Manchester?"
Facing Ling Feng's question, Barbara just smiled lightly: "As long as you are there, I like it everywhere!"
Bar Bara's answer made Ling Feng couldn't help but hold that angelic face and kiss her deeply.
. .
Half an hour later.
Inside the office of the holiday villa.
Ling Feng, who put on a black casual suit, waited for his guests.
The first person to enter the office was his agent Mendes.
Following closely behind are Ed Woodward, the man in charge of the Manchester United club, and "Madman" Mourinho, the club's coach!
“Hello, Mr. Chairman”
"José, how are you?"
After greeting each other, they sat down.
This meeting was arranged by Mendes and was considered the first official meeting between Ling Feng and Manchester United.
In order to win over Ling Feng, Woodward, who always likes to control everything behind the scenes, also took action personally.
First, both parties made some nonsense about the warm weather in Sardinia.
Then we get straight to the point:
Ling Feng is very grateful for Manchester United's sincerity and is willing to join Manchester United.
And Manchester United is also willing to pay a release fee of 90 million pounds to bring Ling Feng from Leicester City to the Theater of Dreams.
However, this fee will be paid in installments.
Ling Feng doesn’t care about how Manchester United pays his termination fee.
What he cares about is how much Manchester United takes him seriously.
Signing Kanter is definitely a good start.
After reaching an agreement on whether to join, the negotiation stage between the player and the club officially begins.
“I want to know, if I join Manchester United, what will be my position and role on the field? What does the club want from me? What are the team’s goals for the new season?”
Faced with Ling Feng's question, Woodward turned to look at Mourinho aside.
That look seemed to say: It's your turn!
The latter took over and described his tactical concept to the core of his future team:
"Ling, we hope you will become the core of the team's frontcourt offense! We are here The new season will focus on the 4231 formation. You will mainly play the role of the tenth position, delivering cannonballs to the team's center and wingers, and then participate in the offense through your own forward penetration."
"You have unlimited power in the team. Right to fire, as long as you are within range, you can shoot."
"As for the goal of the season, we are Manchester United and we have always fought for the championship!"
"We aim to regain the league title this season and then compete in the Champions League."
Mourinho's goal sounds a bit overconfident at first glance.
But, if you think about it carefully, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!
Last season's Manchester United, which was offensively constipated, was also able to finish fourth in the league.
This season has welcomed one of the best coaches in the world, Magic Bird, and has reinforced Bailly, Ibrahimovic, Kanter and the upcoming Ling Feng. It is simply a strong team!
If we don’t compete for the championship, how can we compete for the fourth place? !
After Mourinho finished talking about the team’s general tactical concept and season goals, Woodward couldn’t help but add:
“Of course, in addition to your important role on the field. , off the court, we also hope to make you the new spokesperson of Manchester United! "
"To this end, we have prepared the club's most legendary and greatest No. 7 jersey!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looked at Mendes, and then said:
"Thank you very much for your club's attention to me. However, as far as I know, doesn't the No. 7 jersey have an owner?"
"You don't have to worry about this. When you join, the No. 7 jersey will definitely be the owner." Yours!"
Woodward's words made Ling Feng say silently in his heart:
Sorry, Depay!
It must be said that Manchester United, which regards Ling Feng as their primary transfer target in the summer window, is full of sincerity.
Next, the two parties will conduct preliminary negotiations on the players' personal treatment.
Compared to Leicester City’s weekly salary limit of 200,000, Manchester United’s weekly salary is 260,000!
This amount is almost the maximum salary for Manchester United and even the Premier League!
You know, superstar Ibrahimovic, who has just joined Manchester United on a free transfer, only earns a weekly salary of 250,000.
If Ling Feng accepts this salary package, he will surpass Aguero, Yaya Toure, Hazard and other superstars and become the second highest weekly salary in the Premier League after Rooney. people!
