Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

Leverkusen is a small town.

Or rather, it's an industrial park disguised as a city.

With a population of 16,

It's not even as good as a district in a fourth or fifth-tier city in China.

Therefore, there isn't a single five-star hotel in the entire town.

Talking with people from Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, and Chelsea,

Mendes could only rent the stadium hotel meeting room at the BayArena.

This hotel is an asset of Bayer Leverkusen Football Club.

The main building of the hotel is directly embedded in the north stand of the BayArena.

Normally playing at home,

Bayer Leverkusen will stay here.

Even the meeting room where Lu Xiao was discussing the new contract these past two days...

It's the meeting room where the coaching staff usually holds tactical meetings.

Inside his own club hotel, he was flirting with the football directors of other clubs.

Lu Xiao felt a sense of guilt, like she was "committing a crime in front of her husband."

"What's the big deal?"

Broker Jorge Mendes dismissed the idea.

"You need to understand that it was Leverkusen who wanted to sell you, and they don't care, so just talk to them openly."

"Too."

Both Lu Xiao and Mendes are considered to have good professional ethics.

Generally, contacting players privately is contingent on the club releasing them.

Bayer Leverkusen has accepted offers from Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, and Chelsea.

Specific contract details and transfer fee terms will be discussed in detail after the player is confirmed.

In the days following the German Cup final and before the Champions League final,

Lu Xiao did not train with the team.

They are basically all working on this matter.

After meeting with people from the three clubs, Lu Xiao suddenly felt the same kind of fatigue that comes after a school recruitment fair.

"If you ask me, you might as well go to Manchester City with Kevin."

Manchester City offered the highest price.

The team's momentum and development are very promising.

The only shortcoming,

You need to compete with Manchester City's star player David Silva for a starting position.

With your abilities, I'm sure you can surpass David Silva.

Aguero is very capable in the attacking third, so your teamwork will definitely be quite good...

Although Mendes is a bloodsucker, he earns his money from player transfer fees.

But he was genuinely concerned about the players' development.

I carefully analyzed the situation for Lu Xiao.

Other agents would only care about money, exploiting players and draining them dry, completely disregarding their professional development.

De Bruyne earned £18 per week in his first year, with a total annual salary of approximately £900 million or €1150 million, similar to Lu Xiao's current salary.

If Lu Xiao goes to Manchester City

The club promised him an exceptionally high salary, £35 a week, surpassing Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney to become the highest-paid player in the Premier League.

His total annual salary is close to £2000 million.

To be honest, they've shown the utmost sincerity, and their treatment is in no way inferior to Real Madrid's.

"Manchester City's development has indeed been quite good since then..."

According to prophetic dreams,

Manchester City are now the Premier League champions, having won five titles in nine years and being a title contender every season.

Joining Manchester City would mean no worries about winning the league title, and they could even challenge for the Champions League.

only……

Lu Xiao himself doesn't have much of a feeling for Manchester City.

He has loved Arsenal during the Henry era since childhood.

Arsenal went without a title for many years afterward.

He even personally eliminated Arsenal in the Champions League.

I still have a special feeling towards Arsenal; it's hard to imagine becoming an opponent of Arsenal in the Premier League.

Chelsea's offer was even less than Manchester City's.

The highest weekly wage is only £30.

And they need to work with Mourinho.

Mourinho is blind to talent and has repeatedly used psychological manipulation and undermining tactics against his good friend De Bruyne.

Lu Xiao could never play under Mourinho.

Moreover, with Mourinho set to "catch the mole" at the start of next season, Chelsea's performance has been inconsistent, and the dressing room is in chaos.

Lu Xiao had no intention of getting involved in this mess.

"You don't like either of the two Premier League teams?"

"Yes, what did Atletico Madrid say?"

"As you know, after Chinese capital came in, Atletico Madrid had a certain transfer budget and salary budget."

While it may not reach an annual salary of 2000 million, at least 1800 million can be guaranteed.

And Atlético Madrid showed the most sincerity; their CEO spoke with me many times.

He came here in person this time as well.

The number 10 jersey, symbolizing the core of the team, will be written in the contract for the player who is the absolute main player in the team.

As the Champions League winners, Atletico Madrid also have the ambition to qualify for the Champions League.

They can now be considered one of the top teams...

"These are not the most important things."

"What is that?"

Lu Xiao leaned on the railing, gazing at the empty stadium below the BayArena, and calmly uttered a statement that astonished Mendes.

"In La Liga, I have more opportunities to face Ronaldo and Messi."

I want to crush them head-on.

To become truly number one in the world.

"very good!"

Even though Cristiano Ronaldo is Mendes's number one star,

Mendes still admires Lu Xiao's drive.

He doesn't mind the young man in front of him challenging Ronaldo!

If even Ronaldo and Messi don't dare to face them.

Why would Mendes make an exception and sign this little-known Chinese player?

Have you thought this through?

"certainly!"

Once Lu Xiao understands his own heart, he will no longer hesitate!

A new journey,

It's about to begin from the Iberian Peninsula!

……

Is King Louie about to leave Bayer Leverkusen? Real Madrid, Manchester City, and other top clubs extend offers.

Is this summer's record signing set? A staggering €1.5 million contract! Lu Xiao could break the football transfer fee record!

The Mansour family of Manchester City: We will spare no expense to sign Lu Xiao.

European giants are snapping up players as a "Bayer Leverkusen supermarket" opens!

Kevin De Bruyne's contract is finalized; Bayer Leverkusen's midfield star's departure is imminent, and a £5000 million deal is about to begin!

Harry Maguire reveals in an interview: I want to go back to England

Liverpool eyeing champion defender; Virgil van Dijk may land at Anfield.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly close to signing a new player! Son Heung-min was spotted at White Hart Lane medical room.

Wake up,

Bayer Leverkusen fans are devastated!

Why is everyone leaving?

Angry fans stormed the Bayer Leverkusen training ground, surrounded the management office building, and cornered director Michael Schade in his office.

Some fans have even called for a boycott of Bayer's own pharmaceutical products.

These fans are actually employees of the Bayer Group!

Fighting their own people?

This would be considered a bizarre incident even in the news.

But it makes perfect sense when football is involved.

For these die-hard Bayer Leverkusen fans, football is in their blood!

As for work?

What a load of crap!

If you lose your job, you can find another one, and you can also receive official relief.

But once a team's core player is gone, that's it!

Son Heung-min, De Bruyne, Van Dijk, Maguire, and others left without a trace.

Lu Xiao's transfer is the most intolerable!

This is even more heartbreaking for fans than when Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United or Raul left Real Madrid!

The root cause of everything is Bayer's management, and it's all because of Michael Shad!

Lu Xiao has repeatedly promised to stay at Bayer Leverkusen.

Why let him go?

Seeing that things have gotten this big,

Head coach Sasha, Hyypia, and Michael Shad came before the fans to apologize.

Publicly promised:

"We will use this transfer fee to bring in strong reinforcements and strengthen the squad as much as possible to ensure our championship aspirations."

This matter dragged on for almost a week before it came to an end.

So much so that the attention surrounding the 2014-2015 Champions League final was drawn away by Bayer Leverkusen's transfer turmoil.

Berlin Olympic Stadium

Juventus easily defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 to lift the Champions League trophy.

Bayer Leverkusen unfortunately finished as runners-up.

They eliminated the strongest team, Barcelona.

Unfortunately, they were severely weakened and unable to compete with Juventus.

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba delivered an outstanding performance, earning him the MVP award in the Champions League final.

Lu Xiao could only sit in the stands and watch the entire match with regret.

After the final, German commentator Scholl choked up:

"It turns out that the German Cup final a week ago was Lu Xiao's farewell performance."

So much has happened this week.

Bayer Leverkusen struggled to secure a top-four finish from the very beginning.

They later won the championship as a dark horse and miraculously entered the Champions League semi-finals.

And winning two consecutive league titles this season, securing a double championship.

They eliminated three La Liga giants in succession in the Champions League, defeating the seemingly invincible Barcelona...

Lu Xiao has brought us so many touching and glorious moments!

Luis! We Leverkusen fans will always remember you!

Fans usually display TIFOs before the game starts.

But after this Champions League final...

Leverkusen fans lingered and did not leave.

They actually pieced together a giant TIFO after the match!

The design is simple; it's a jersey.

[Number 39 - Lu Shaw]

【Lu39 forever!】

Lu Xiao, who was in the stands, saw this scene.

Seeing tens of thousands of Bayer Leverkusen fans on the pitch pleading for him to stay,

He rarely turned his back.

He didn't let close-up shots capture his vulnerable side.

……

3 days later,

Bayer Arena.

Bayer Leverkusen's double championship parade featured a tour bus carrying the entire team and both championship trophies.

After circling the small town once,

Everyone arrived at the Bayer Arena.

Rather than a championship celebration,

It was more like a final farewell.

De Bruyne, Son Heung-min, and others were all moved to tears, their voices choked with emotion as they spoke.

Even the towering man Virgil van Dijk shed tears.

He only played one season here.

Van Dijk has been through too much.

It's hard to part with my brothers at Leverkusen and these lovely fans.

In the end, everyone left the stage to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao picked up the microphone but hadn't spoken yet.

Nearly 6 fans simultaneously chanted in front of the large screens outside the stadium, while nearly 10 people filled the stands at the BayArena!

Bayer Leverkusen has a total population of 16.

Almost everyone came!

The entire city is trying to persuade Lu Xiao to stay.

"Lu Shaw, bleib!"

"Lu Shaw, bleib!"

"Lu Shaw, bleib!"

Lu Xiao, stay here, don't go!

Thank you, thank you all!

I spent the two happiest years of my career here.

This is where my dream began.

It's a pity that I'll have to say goodbye to this place today.

But I promise, I will come back someday!

This night,

Everyone at Leverkusen wants one thing,

The sun should not rise.

How wonderful it would be if time could stand still at this moment!
