Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 93 Transfermarkt updates the value of Mahel again! Many teams are eager to see him! [55]

On March 3, the official platform of Transfermarkt finally updated the player value again and posted new data.

This instantly attracted the attention of major media and fans. Many reports were issued at once, and the highest net worth rankings and the current net worth increase rankings spread around the world at lightning speed.

"NO.1: Leo Messi. 100M!"

"NO.2: Cristiano Ronaldo. 90M!"

"NO.3: Iniesta. 70M!"

"NO.4: Wayne Rooney. 65M!"

"."

The most popular people, of course, are the people with the highest net worth in the world today. Their official net worth has increased to a certain extent.

In euros, Messi's value exceeded 100 million for the first time, which is a historical high for the official Transfermarkt platform. No one has ever reached a value of 100 million euros before.

Of course, the value of the Transfermarkt platform is more based on predictions made on market and commercial value.

In real player transactions, it is normal for the amount to be tens of millions higher or lower than Transfermarkt. This is related to the player's contract, liquidated damages, etc.

For example, in 08, Ronaldo's transfer value from Transfermarkt was only 6000 million euros, but when he went to Real Madrid, he left a transfer fee of 8000 million pounds for Manchester United. The total exchange rate at that time should have been around 9400 million euros.

For example, if Barcelona is offered 100 million euros or even 200 million euros now, would Barcelona really be willing to sell Messi?
If Real Madrid is given 100 million euros or 200 million euros, would they be willing to sell Ronaldo, who is already dominating the Champions League and La Liga?

I guess he doesn't want to.

On the side of the market value ranking list, there is a column showing the market value increase in pounds this period, which also attracted the attention of a large number of fans, and many people clicked in to browse.

Those at the top are basically the ones at the top of the ‘highest net worth ranking’, just in a different order.

This is easy to understand. Their value base is already very high, and they have the attention and influence that other players do not have. A single increase in value could easily amount to 10 or 20 million euros.

It is very, very difficult for ordinary players to compete with them.

“NO.9, Maher rose by 12M!”

On the list of players with increasing value, many people quickly saw a name they were not familiar with, whose value actually increased by 1200 million euros this time!
17 years old, total value of 2000 million euros!
I clicked on it again and saw that the team he plays for is Sheffield United in the Championship!

"???"

Countless question marks appeared under the comments of major reports. The question of "Who is Maher" once again spread from European football and gradually expanded to the football circle around the world.

"The 17-year-old young player conquered the English Championship! So far this season, he has scored 29 goals and 21 assists! He has created more than 50 goals!" - Spanish newspaper AS

"A talent better than Rooney? Sheffield United's young player Maher has appeared in the mainstream media many times in the past six months, and even brought attention to Sheffield United that does not belong to a 'Championship team'." - Cover story of "Know the Football Emperor"

"The most expensive player in the Championship! In the latest Transfermarkt update, Maher's value has increased by 1200 million euros to 2000 million euros! He is currently playing for a Championship team, and this value has set a new record in the history of the Championship." - The Guardian

"Comparable to Ronaldo? The young football player Maher, who was born in Aix, has scored 50 goals in the Championship this season! But so far, he has not been selected for the French national team at any level!" - Editor-in-Chief of "France Football"

More media reported on him, making people realize that there is such a talented player in a league that they don’t pay attention to on a daily basis.

Unlike last time, this time, veteran fans in many countries already knew him, introductions about him were all over the major forums, and highlights of his goals and assists were also posted on many social media platforms.

These posts and videos instantly became quite popular and were gradually circulated by more and more people.

"Alien! A new alien has appeared! As long as he doesn't suffer any serious injuries or setbacks in the future, he will definitely reach the level of a superstar!"

"Maher has really become popular this time. It seems that his worth is more intuitive. There were some reports about his data before, but you didn't see them."

"17 years old, worth 2000 million? He must be walking sideways. I never thought that a second-tier league like the Championship could produce a player worth 2000 million."

"When you look at his performance in the Championship, it's best to look at it in context with his age and his progress every month, and then you'll have a better understanding of why he's worth that much."

"The question is, if we give Arsenal 2000 million euros now, will Wenger sell him? I think it's unlikely, let's see what happens if we give him 3000 million euros."

"Don't exaggerate too much. After all, the players have not been to the Premier League yet, so it's hard to say."

"29 goals and 21 assists, not boasting? Still not boasting? Why don't you let 17-year-old Rooney try and see if he can achieve half of these numbers in the Championship? That's because Maher hasn't gone to the Premier League yet, giving you little haters some room to exploit."

Chelsea training base, London.

Ancelotti had just arrived at the office and sat down to drink a sip of tea when he saw a staff member approaching with a report form.

"Boss."

The man put down the report and said, "This is the change in the value of the players in the team after the update of this issue of Transfermarkt, as well as the change in the value of the players we are paying attention to."

Ancelotti was not in a hurry to take it. He first thought of a name: "Have you seen this report? How is Maher's increase?"

"Seen."

The man nodded and pursed his lips as he introduced: "His value has increased by 1200 million euros, and his total value is 2000 million euros."

"2000 million?!"

Ancelotti almost spit out the tea he had just drunk. He put the cup down and was about to sigh, but then he thought that 2000 million did seem to be a reasonable price.

If it was lower, he might have scolded the transfer staff for being too biased against the lower-level leagues and not making a true assessment of the players' potential.

"Is it a record?"

Ancelotti calmed down again, picked up the teacup and asked, many Premier League players are not worth 2000 million euros. This is really incredible for Championship players.

“It’s far beyond the record.”

The man smiled and said, "We can really consider it in the summer window. Arsenal hasn't paid off their debts yet, so they don't necessarily have to hold on to the players."

Ancelotti nodded, motioned for the man to go out first, and sat on the sofa alone, pinching his chin and staring blankly.

At first, his face showed a thoughtful expression, which was then slowly replaced by desire, and finally completely taken over by intense greed, with his eyes slightly narrowed.

After dialing a number, Ancelotti coughed twice and asked as soon as the call was connected: "Boss, do you still remember the Maher I mentioned before?" "I was just about to talk to you about this. I just saw a report about him."

The voice on the other end was calm and confident: "Ancelotti, we must buy this player. He will be the future of Chelsea. I don't care how much it costs. Give me a rough budget."

"I predict"

Ancelotti thought for a while and gave an answer: "It has to be more than 2500 million pounds, otherwise Arsenal will definitely not let him go."

"My expectation is £3000 million."

The guy on the other end smiled and sounded in a good mood: "It seems that my estimate of the players' value is very close to yours. Why don't I coach Chelsea in the future? Hahaha!"

Ancelotti also laughed. He roughly understood that the boss wanted to tell him in this way that if there was an opportunity in the summer window, he could feel free to make an offer.

Around 3000 million pounds, pay the money immediately.

At the Carrington training base in Manchester, lunch training is about to begin.

Sir Alex Ferguson went to the training ground to supervise the training with a document in his hand. He was old and no longer led the training, but he would stand on the sidelines and watch every day.

"Sir." An assistant coach brought a document and handed it to Ferguson, "The updated player values ​​on Transfermarkt."

Ferguson chewed gum and waved at him, not taking it. "The transfer window just ended. I don't want to read this. It can't help my team."

"The player you mentioned many times has increased by 1200 million euros this time. The total value has reached 2000 million." The assistant coach took the document away and did not force it, but just told Ferguson this.

"Who?"

Ferguson didn't pay much attention at first, but after two seconds he turned his head sharply, his eyes wide open: "Mael?"

"Yes." The assistant coach nodded and smiled bitterly, "He is now the most expensive player in the Championship and he is only 17 years old. I think we should give it another try?"

Ferguson's eyes were fixed on the training ground. He increased the speed of chewing gum. His heart was churning and his brain was working rapidly.

"Does he like Arsenal?"

After a long pause, he turned around and asked seriously, "Do you have any idea of ​​his career plan or personality? Does he want to win the championship, or does he want to develop step by step?"

"I do not know."

The assistant coach smiled bitterly and shook his head, "After all, the player has only just come to the fore this season. There aren't many mainstream reports about him, and there haven't been any personal interviews. It's still a blank slate."

"Where's the agent?"

"I know this, it's Mendes, and he's been signed for some time."

"It's him again," Ferguson smiled faintly. They were old acquaintances and had dealt with each other many times, but unfortunately their relationship was definitely not harmonious.

He then thought of Cristiano Ronaldo, his disciple who is now playing at the Bernabeu.

"Ask someone to contact Mendes and ask the players if they have any thoughts about Manchester United." Ferguson made the arrangements. His face was slightly flushed and his emotions were fluctuating greatly.

"it is good."

The assistant coach left. His main purpose of coming here with this document today was to make the old Sir Alex pay attention to Mahel again.

San Francisco, in an office building.

Kevin Systrom, the founder of ins, stared at a private message on the computer, biting his lower lip and hesitating about something.

"What's wrong?" A man came over, patted him on the shoulder, and looked at his computer.

"A famous football player wanted to cooperate with us. He said he could bring us 20 registered users."

Kevin Strom wrote down the ID in the private message and searched it on social media. He indeed found a lot of news about "Mael", and it has been very popular recently.

“What will it cost us?”

The man's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Strohm, we all know how excellent this social software is. As long as we get through this first step and have a certain number of registered users, this software will definitely become popular all over the world.

"If he can really help us, then we have to try our best to meet his conditions. This is an opportunity."

"I know."

Kevin Strom seemed a little hesitant, and he frowned slightly: "But our valuation is only 3000 million US dollars. In order to obtain the financial expectation of 750 million US dollars, we have to split 25% of the shares for financing.

"If I take some more out, I'd feel bad. It would affect our motivation."

After hearing this, the man was silent for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he looked up and said, "Football players are very rich. Can he invest some for us?"

"What are you thinking?"

Kevin Systrom chuckled and said, "I just saw that he is only 17 years old. How much money can a 17-year-old kid have?"

"Try it."

This person also saw the report about Maher on Strom's computer. He advised: "He plays in Europe, and Europe happens to be a big market that we need to win the most. We can't give up this opportunity."

"What are your plans?" Kevin Strom turned to look at him, and seemed a little shaken: "I'll reply to him first, just to test it out?"

"Ah."

The man nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go directly to England? See his influence there, and then find a chance to talk to him in private."

"can."

Kevin Strome looked at the date and decided: "Let's go on the 18th. I hope he won't let us down. I always feel that a 17-year-old kid is not very reliable, even if he can play football."

ps: I'm not sleepy today, I'm definitely going to catch up
