Chapter 158 The Hot Transfer Market in the Top Five European Leagues! Arsenal's Victory! Qin Ming Enters the Medical Examination Room!
7 month 1 day.

The summer transfer window has officially opened, and news from the top five European leagues is coming in frequently.

Among them, Zhang Linpeng is the one that Qin Ming is most concerned about. The news that Chelsea wants to sign him has been circulating for a long time.

However, the negotiations between the two parties stalled on the repurchase clause.

Qin Ming asked Zhang Linpeng about his thoughts. He really wanted to play abroad, even if the salary wasn't as good as in China and he couldn't directly join Chelsea, but would have to go to a satellite club first.

Before long, the negotiations actually moved forward.

It is said that Abramovich has a very good impression of Chinese players, and given Ivanovic's poor performance, he wanted to find an excellent Chinese player first, which would also satisfy the demands of the commercial market.

After all, the Volkswagen Group has set a good example.

It can be said that Qin Ming is now a flag bearer, making a name for Chinese players.

Not long after the news of Zhang Linpeng's transfer broke, rumors surfaced about Wu Lei's potential transfer to Augsburg, Mainz, and other teams.

Chinese fans are saying that the era of Chinese players playing abroad may be about to begin anew.

at the same time.

The transfer window is in full swing in the top five European leagues.

First, Ligue 1.

Di Maria transferred from Manchester United to Paris Saint-Germain, with PSG paying €6300 million for the move.

In fact, Paris Saint-Germain's move was out of necessity.

They approached Wolfsburg to buy Qin Ming and also contacted Barnett.

Unfortunately, Qin Ming had no intention of going to Ligue 1, so Barnett directly rejected them, leaving PSG with no choice but to buy Di Maria from Manchester United.

Not only that, but PSG, unable to acquire Qin Ming, went on a spending spree, signing players like Stanboli, Trapp, and Cabaye, spending another 3500 million euros.

The total comes to exactly 9500 million euros, which is the money they prepared to sign Qin Ming.

After their Champions League defeat, Juventus signed Dybala for 4000 million euros, aiming to strengthen their attack and bring in fresh blood.

Not only that, but also Mandzukic, Khedira, Pereira and Zaza, among others, which together cost nearly 9000 million.

In contrast, Inter Milan is somewhat strapped for cash and has not made any major signings.

Milan spent nearly 8000 million.

In the Bundesliga...

Arsenal did indeed sell Özil, with Bayern Munich offering €6800 million. In addition, after Ancelotti took over, he also bought Vidal from Juventus, Ulreich from Stuttgart, and Kimmich, who had been confirmed earlier.

The total cost was close to 1.1 million euros. Fortunately, they did not pay Guardiola's release clause, but instead received a sum of money from Manchester City.

Otherwise, this season would truly be a case of income not covering expenses.

It's because they don't have a single championship, and their prize money is very low.

Wolfsburg spent 4200 million euros to buy Draxler before any players had left, followed by Schürrle for 3600 million euros, Negredo for 2800 million euros, Hernandez for 1000 million euros, and others.

Anyone with eyes can see what that means.

The Wolfsburg twins are about to leave, otherwise they wouldn't be looking for replacements.

According to Kicker's estimates, Wolfsburg could make at least €1.5 million in profit if they sell Qin Ming and his partner.

What concept?
Spend as you please!
Moreover, having a double crown title can better attract players.

Meanwhile, Son Heung-min joined Tottenham Hotspur as he wished, leaving his former club with a transfer fee of 3000 million euros.

In La Liga, although Barcelona won the treble, they didn't spend much money, with Turan costing 4100 million and Alexis Vidal costing 1700 million.

However, due to the transfer ban, they will not be able to officially register for the team until January 2016.

This transfer ban has been a headache for Barcelona's management for a long time.

For example, imagine you've arranged a date with a goddess, booked a candlelight dinner, and prepared Durex condoms. Back at the hotel, just as things are about to get heated, the goddess says something to you.

I've got the time!

It remains to be seen whether Turan and Vidal can deliver the same level of surprise as Suarez.

However, the triumphant Enrique, in an interview, stated that under his and Messi's leadership, a new dynasty had just been established, and they would achieve even better results, replicating their sextuple win in 2009.

When the reporter mentioned Qin Ming, Enrique just smiled and said, "Joining Barcelona is every player's dream, but we have enough strong forwards and don't need to make any additional additions."

Real Madrid, having failed to win any major trophies, sacked Ancelotti. While a new head coach has yet to be appointed, authoritative media outlets such as Marca have reported that former Real Madrid assistant coach and current Real Madrid B team coach Zinedine Zidane will take over as Real Madrid's manager.

Besides Kovacic (€3800 million), Danilo (€3150 million), and Casemiro (€750 million), De Gea is the most prominent name on their transfer list.

Because Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas is no longer in good form.

We must strengthen it.

When De Gea returned to Spain and gave an interview to the media, he said that he would have an in-depth conversation with Van Gaal.

The meaning is quite clear: they want to transfer.

It's perfectly normal for Spanish players to dream of playing for Barcelona or Real Madrid.

But Manchester United has not responded.

Furthermore, there has been turmoil within Real Madrid. Casillas is a 25-year veteran, and it is said that Real Madrid's vice-captain Ramos is dissatisfied with this, which has even led to other players starting to cause trouble.

Speaking of Manchester United, the Premier League transfer market is incredibly hot; it's no exaggeration to describe it as a money pit.

Before July was even over, £5 million had already been spent.

Manchester City, with a budget of £1.5 million, first signed last year's golden boy Sterling, spending a full £6000 million for it.

When Qin Ming arrived in London, he received a text message from De Bruyne.

De Bruyne is joining Manchester City.

Qin Ming was not surprised by this, because Guardiola and Manchester City are the best fit for De Bruyne and the team.

Shortly afterward, a major announcement was made.

Romano: Here we go! Manchester City have completed the signing of Wolfsburg midfielder Kevin De Bruyne for a transfer fee of €9600 million, and are in hopes of becoming the most expensive signing of the summer transfer window!
Manchester United, Manchester City's city rivals, also signed Martial for 5000 million after Qin Ming rejected their offer.

Manchester United fans were completely baffled. What's Martial? What's Martial? What's Martial?
Martial? I've never heard of him before. Could it be that he's like Zaha, having an affair with the head coach's daughter?

It's worth noting that this season, under Van Gaal's leadership, Manchester United has been buying players at a rate of almost one per game lost, acquiring players like Di Maria, Luke Shaw, Herrera, Rojo, Blind, and Falcao.

But the combined impact of all the new signings is not as significant as that of De Gea.

What makes Martial so special that he's worth €5000 million?

But since they've already made the purchase, Manchester United fans can only console themselves that as long as Qin Ming's skill level is half as good as theirs.

After Chelsea won the Premier League title, they bought players like Pedro, Rahman, and Begovic, but the overall spending wasn't too high, which is somewhat inconsistent with Abramovich's status.

However, Mourinho is very confident: "Perhaps I should have changed countries and leagues, led another team to win a relatively easier title, but I'm not that kind of person. I chose to win the title in the toughest league in Europe. I like challenges, and I won, so I'm very happy. Especially since this is my second time managing Chelsea, many of my old teammates are no longer with the team, and this is a new team that won the title."

When the reporter mentioned Sir Alex Ferguson, the "Madman" was surprisingly modest.

“I still have a long way to go, but Sir Alex Ferguson’s achievements are impossible for anyone. I can’t win 13 Premier League titles. I can win 13 league titles, I already have 8, and I think I can get 13, but 13 Premier League titles? No, impossible.”

As for Tottenham, Pochettino has been cursing Levy, saying he's never seen such a stingy owner, reaching new heights of miserliness.

Aside from signing Son Heung-min, the only other signings were Trippier, Vermeer, and Holbit, which together didn't amount to 2000 million.

It's worth noting that selling Paulinho to Guangzhou Evergrande brought them a profit of 900 million yuan.

Liverpool have been very generous since Klopp took over, signing Firmino for £4100 million, Clyne for £1770 million, Benteke for £4650 million, and so on.

It looks like they're spending a lot of money to accomplish something big.

Klopp also stated that he would do his best to lead Liverpool to achieve good results in the new season and strive for the first league title since the Premier League's restructuring.

A report was released amidst the spending spree of major Premier League clubs.

Dongqiudi: With the new broadcasting agreement in place, the total spending on Premier League transfers will break records, and Arsenal is planning something big!

Where is the big one?
England, London, Hertfordshire.

Outside the Kearney training ground.

Several Toyota Alphards slowly drove up, and Qin Ming, wearing Oakley sunglasses, stepped out. What came into view was a dense forest and a large training ground.

"Your sunglasses are nice, where did you buy them?"

A deep, resonant voice rang out. Qin looked up and saw a face with sharp, angular features, a neatly trimmed beard, and eyes as blue as a lake.

"Hello! Hello! I'm Olivier, your future teammate."

Giroud noticed Qin Ming's confusion, extended his right hand in goodwill, and even slowed down his English speaking speed.

"Hello, my English is pretty good, and I can communicate normally without any problems."

Qin Ming reached out and shook hands with Giroud.

He had at least passed the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4), so he communicated with Perrin in English and had been studying during this time.

"You can call me Qin. My sunglasses were a gift from Oakley's sponsor; my assistant will get you a few later."

He just signed with Oakley a few days ago.

As a niche brand in the industry, they sponsor many athletes in cycling, basketball, skiing, and marathons, among others.

However, this was still a blank in the football field, so they approached Qin Ming, hoping to use this opportunity to enter the mainstream.

"Actually, you don't need to introduce yourself. Right now, everyone in Arsenal knows you except Win."

Giru sized up the boy in front of him.

Tsk tsk. Ever since the news broke that Arsenal wanted to buy Qin Ming, Giroud immediately found all of Qin Ming's highlight reels.

The conclusion is that it's fucking awesome.

Crosses with rabona, assists with nutmegs, and lobbed passes in front of the goal—he fed the Dutch bald man a good meal.

Can that French hunk eat pancakes?

He felt he could eat a lot.

So I deliberately ended my vacation early just to show my face.

It's not shameful to cling to someone's coattails.

It's worth noting that Dost only scored 7 goals last season, but has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season.

What concept?
It has more than doubled.

Giroud pondered his 14 goals last season, and he wasn't asking for much more, just to double that number.

Doesn't that mean he can compete for the Premier League Golden Boot?
"Win is?"

Qin Ming was a little confused.

"Oh, Mr. Wenger recently bought a Labrador. It has excellent defensive skills and is even faster than Theo Walcott."

Giroud chuckled.

Qin Ming laughed upon hearing this. It seemed that his journey as a gunman was more interesting than he had imagined.

"Win's top speed is 48 km/h, while Theo's is only 34 km/h. Don't you think that's a big difference?"

Giroud then started chatting with Qin Ming.

“Olivier, you and Qin should get to know each other a little later. Let me take him for a medical check-up first.”

Many people were waiting at the entrance of the training base.

One of the men who walked out was a tall, broad-shouldered, white-haired man. Although he was not wearing a suit but just a simple polo shirt, he still exuded a refined and elegant air.

"Hello, Mr. Wenger."

Qin Ming removed his sunglasses as a sign of respect.

"Qin, hello. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. These two are your parents, right? Let Steve show them around. Shall we go for their medical check-up first?"

Wenger is very adept at handling these kinds of situations because he has signed so many young players.

"That will be troublesome." Qin Ming nodded.

"This is a gift for you. I hope you like it. This way, please."

Steve, holding two boxes, politely extended an invitation.

It has to be said that Qin Ming felt very comfortable with Arsenal's approach.

Leaving aside other matters for now.

At the very least, they attached great importance to him and gave him enough respect.

"Go for it, son!" Tian Man gave Qin Ming a thumbs-up, then took the gift and got into the car with Qin Zhihong.

"Let's go."

Wenger was leading the way when he suddenly turned around sharply.

There's a widely circulated meme in Chinese football: climbing trees.

What do you mean?
According to an Arsenal fan's account on the internet, he learned that the team was about to sign Higuain, so he had the whole village slaughter pigs and sheep to celebrate. However, he never heard from Higuain when he came out of the medical room. Thinking that the signal was bad, he climbed a tree. However, what he received was news that Higuain had signed with Napoli in Italy, so he dared not come down from the tree.

The media were shocked and asked: Where exactly is the exit of Arsenal's medical room?
Wenger knew this was nonsense; in fact, Higuain had never even been to the medical room, but he had contacted other teams through intermediaries.

Therefore, he was on guard against being ambushed by others.

Sure enough, I saw several people carrying cameras; I couldn't tell if they were reporters or middlemen.

The first thing to do is an MRI scan, which is to prevent injury or disease.
For example, Arteta had previously suffered a cruciate ligament injury, and if he hadn't been willing to take responsibility, he probably wouldn't have even been given a medical check-up.

Even so, he was unable to earn the average salary due to his injuries.

However, he still expressed a strong desire to transfer.

Even so, an unexpected incident still occurred: Everton's fax machine suddenly jammed.

Fortunately, the deal was eventually approved.

A few hours later.

"You're so healthy that I feel like you're not a player, but more like a machine that never wears out!"

Wenger was incredulous when he received the medical report.

Could it be that the gunman who always buys sickly guns has finally changed his luck and is going to get an iron man?
This excited him even more than Qin Ming's talent.

"My metabolism is relatively fast, and the post-match physical therapy and massage were all carried out according to plan."

Qin Ming made up an excuse on the spot.

"Next, let the two teams discuss the transfer issue. We will try our best to meet your salary and benefits requirements. As for the image rights issue, you don't need to worry about that."

Wenger's slightly raised eyebrows give people a sense of reassurance.

"Ok."

Qin Ming had proposed long ago that he should have absolute control over portrait rights and occupy as much of the image as possible.

After all, for him, in the era of big-spending football in China, the main source of income was not salary, but endorsements and advertisements.

However, in the football world, image rights are strictly controlled. For example, most Real Madrid players can only get a maximum of 60%.

The only exception is Raul, who has 100% image rights.

But he simply disliked commercial activities; at his peak, he only had four endorsements, and it wasn't for making money at all.

"I can tell you the truth: 80% of your image rights. If the club uses your image, they will pay you proportionally."

Wenger said nonchalantly.

After so many years of ups and downs, he learned how to treat people with sincerity.

"I think this will speed up the signing process."

Qin Ming nodded.

Unlike Raul, he wanted to make money.

However, there is a premise: while pursuing commercial value, we must not forget the essence of football.

"By the way, I've already picked out a few houses for you: Royal Arsenal Riverfront in East Fourth District, Clayton near Alexandra Palace, and South Bay Square in Canary Wharf."

"Of course, if you want to stay somewhere quieter, there are also nice houses in Hadleywood and Totridge in Hertfordshire, where some of our players live."
