Chapter 91 Real Madrid Offer 70 Million? Manchester City 100 Million To Grab Chinese Stars?
The victory of the Iron Alliance continues!
Since Su Luo's comeback before Christmas, Union Berlin has achieved a terrifying 12-game winning streak in all competitions, defeating strong teams like Bayern Munich, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen!
Among Bundesliga fans, a phrase has begun to circulate:
"As long as Su Luo is healthy, no one in the Bundesliga can stop him!"
Regarding Su Luo's destination next season, fans of various clubs are speculating:
"Su will definitely come to our Hornets next season. Klopp admires him very much!"
"Maybe Klopp is going to leave. Why not come to our pharmaceutical factory and be the perfect replacement for Kießling?"
"If Su really wants to leave, it can only be to Bayern. Other teams are absolutely out of the running!"
The words of the Bayern fans silenced everyone else. The entire Bundesliga is almost the backyard of King Nan, and the stars they fancy can't escape. The effective way for Bayern to maintain its hegemony is not to smash the opponent head-on but to poach!
Klose led Werder Bremen to rise and reached its peak in 2006. In 2007, he set a transfer fee record and joined Bayern Munich. Before 2011, Neuer shined at Schalke 04, helping Schalke eliminate Bayern in the cup and win the German Cup! He also led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League! As a result, after the season ended, Neuer was poached by Bayern at lightning speed for a transfer fee of 30 million, setting a record for a Bundesliga goalkeeper.
In 2012, Dortmund rose strongly and overthrew Bayern to win the Bundesliga championship. Mario Götze and Hummels, two key players, defected to Bayern, causing Dortmund to struggle. After that, Lewandowski won the Bundesliga Golden Boot and was poached by Bayern. This directly caused Klopp to leave for England in frustration. The overlord remains Bayern Munich.
Now it's Su Luo's turn. After scoring five goals at the Allianz Arena and beating Bayern, Su Luo's performance dazzled all Bayern executives. Beckenbauer, Rummenigge, and football director Summer watched their team get blown away by Su Luo! However, when Su Luo defeated Bayern Munich, the camera also captured smiles on the faces of these Bayern executives! Bundesliga fans understood immediately that Bayern must be up to something!
In the quarter-finals of the German Cup, Union Berlin beat Freiburg 2-0 away. Su Luo contributed a goal and an assist to help the team advance to the semi-finals! Just after this game, shocking news broke out in the German football world!
"Bayern offers 50 million euros for Su Luo!"
"It is reported that Rummenigge has initially signed a contract with Su Luo's agent, Raiola. Su Luo's contract may break Bayern's salary cap, with his weekly salary surpassing Robben's at 250,000 euros!"
"As long as Union Berlin accepts the offer, Su Luo will join the Allianz Arena next season..."
The bar at the East Berlin base was not open in the morning. The barkeeper was wiping glasses and cleaning the bar. Hans, Bard, and other die-hard fans sat in front of the bar with frowning faces. Bard threw the "Munich Evening Zeitung" on the bar angrily.
"Their King Nan is simply outrageous! If they can't beat us, they just poach our players? Do they really treat the Bundesliga as their own vegetable garden?"
"Don't get excited, it's just a media report," Uncle Hans said calmly. "Bayern said last season that they wanted to poach Su. We tried to keep him, and he said he wouldn't leave. He'll stick to his word."
"But it's different now. Last season, it was just talk. Now Bayern is making a real move! 50 million euros! What if the club agrees?"
"..."
Uncle Hans couldn't guarantee it. The club's board of directors, led by Dirk Singler, and many executives might be overwhelmed and decide to sell Su Luo. 50 million euros is a huge sum for Union Berlin! Can they resist the temptation? And Su Luo's potential salary surpassing Robben's might tempt Su Luo himself.
As they were frowning, Hogan suddenly ran in, anxiously holding his mobile phone.
"It's over, Su might really leave this time."
Bard grabbed his cell phone and looked at the news headlines.
"Real Madrid director Pérez contacts Mino Raiola, offering 70 million euros for Bundesliga star!"
"Ed Woodward: Su Luo belongs to the Theater of Dreams this summer, with a total price of over 80 million pounds!"
"Manchester City wants to spend 100 million on the Chinese star, offering any salary he wants!"
"These should be gossip, right?" Hans asked.
"No, it's true. The club has already received offers..."
In the joint office building in Berlin, the board of directors, led by Singler, football director Schäfer, head coach Neuhaus, and other executives gathered for an emergency meeting.
"Should we..."
"Not for sale!" Schäfer began but was interrupted by Neuhaus.
"If we really aim for the Champions League next season, Su is the most important part of the team."
"We want to stay competitive in the Bundesliga, and he has to stay."
"Otherwise, we might only consider relegation next season."
Schäfer smiled wryly and shook his head: "But the money can be invested in players, and we can sign many great stars."
"We're playing in the Champions League just to experience it, not to win, right?"
Neuhaus frowned and said seriously: "Why not?"
"Enough," Singler, the board's chief, interrupted the quarrel. There were several faxes in front of him, from Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Liverpool! The Manchester City duo had yet to make an offer, and other giants were also watching. Bayern Munich's 50 million euros were real! If the club and the players agreed, they would transfer the money immediately, without hesitation!
Real Madrid's offer was also 50 million euros, plus a floating clause of 25 million. If Su Luo played more than 35 games, scored more than 30 goals in the season, and led the team to win the La Liga championship, Real Madrid would pay an additional 25 million euros. Liverpool's bid of 35 million was relatively low.
In comparison, Real Madrid and Bayern seemed very sincere.
However, Singler was a shrewd leader. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been selected as the club chief. He understood the philosophy of this team better than anyone else. The Steel League is the people's team, it will not be corrupted by capital, nor will it ignore the voice of the fans!
"Stop arguing. What does Su want? Does he want to leave?"
"No, he wants to finish the Champions League."
"Then what's the fuss about? We can't stop the players from leaving if they want to, and we won't let the players go if they don't want to!"
Singler waved his hand. "Reject these offers and issue an announcement to appease the fans. Su will never leave!"
The next day, the official website of Union Berlin issued an announcement:
Su Luo will not leave this season! He will stay on the team!
In a TV interview, Su Luo himself also expressed his commitment firmly.
"I'm having a great time with the team and will continue playing with the Steel League next season!"
This simple message caused half of Berlin to celebrate like a festival. At night, fans even set off fireworks in celebration! Tourists were puzzled, wondering if it was a holiday in Germany.
Su Luo's transfer saga did not affect the team's preparations. After reaching the semi-finals of the German Cup, they beat Frankfurt 4-0 away in the 25th round of the Bundesliga. In this game, Su Luo scored another hat-trick, with 3 goals and 1 assist, stunning the audience!
"45 goals! The Bundesliga scoring record is still being broken, and I doubt anyone will be able to surpass it in the future, except Su Luo himself!" The commentator Sauer was amazed. After more than ten years of commentary, it was the first time he had seen such an extraordinary striker. All football conventions were shattered by Su Luo!
Things that Klose, Gomez, Dzeko, Mandzukic, and Lewandowski, among many other world-class forwards, couldn't achieve, Su Luo did with ease! It was once difficult for players to exceed 30 goals, but now surpassing 40 goals seemed easier than drinking water!
With Su Luo's current form, everyone knew that 45 goals was not the end!
In the 26th round of the Bundesliga, Union Berlin faced Hoffenheim. In the first half, Su Luo fired a long shot and scored against Hoffenheim, making it 46 goals! In the second half, Su Luo capitalized on a counterattack, successfully stayed onside, and scored again. So far, Su Luo's success rate in one-on-one situations was 100%. There were no mistakes with his shots!
"Two goals! Su Luo has now scored 47 Bundesliga goals this season! He is only a few steps away from the unprecedented 50-goal mark!"
Looking at the scorer list, the second place was Frankfurt striker Meyer with only 15 goals, a full 30 goals behind Su Luo. It was unbelievable!
Robben and Lewandowski were tied with 14 goals each, and together they didn't come close to Su Luo's total! Even when counting the goals scored by Götze, Thomas Müller, and Ribéry, they barely equaled Su Luo's tally. Su Luo alone matched Bayern's entire offensive line!
Originally, Union Berlin had put significant pressure on Bayern, but this news seemed to be the final straw.
In the 25th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich played against Borussia Mönchengladbach. After 90 minutes, the entire Bayern team fell to their knees. The scoreboard showed a stunning result:
Bayern 0:2 Borussia Mönchengladbach!
The Bundesliga overlord had lost, allowing Union Berlin to widen the gap by 6 points! Union Berlin was now one step closer to the Bundesliga title!
