Chapter 378 The first transfer in football!

After Manchester United’s official announcement, major media outlets followed up with reports, determined to get a piece of the pie from the most popular team in football.

Sky Sports, BBC, Manchester Evening News and other media outlets have revealed details of the deal on their respective official websites:
Ling Feng's basic weekly salary is 290,000 pounds, the second highest salary in the Premier League after Rooney.

If all bonus floating clauses are activated, his weekly salary could reach a staggering 500,000 pounds!
This deal, which shocked the football world, was confirmed by Ling Feng's former club Leicester City and famous journalist Romano. The transfer fee was as high as 1.05 million pounds ( million euros), and there was an additional floating clause of million euros in the contract.

If he wins the Premier League Player of the Year award again after the transfer, or helps Manchester United win the Premier League title, Leicester City will be paid 5 million euros.

This means that if Ling Feng helps Manchester United return to the top of the Premier League this season and wins the Premier League's best award again, his transfer fee will be as high as 1.15 million euros!
In any case, the £2009 million buyout clause alone is enough to make him surpass Cristiano Ronaldo, who transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2013, and Bale, who transferred from Tottenham to Real Madrid in , becoming the player with the most expensive transfer fee in football history!

After the official announcement, Manchester United also released a photo of Ling Feng wearing the No. 7 jersey and holding a Manchester United scarf on its official website and social media every ten minutes.

Then, after whetting the fans' appetite, Manchester United released another one-and-a-half-minute official announcement video:

The beginning of the official announcement video is full of the feeling of a blockbuster movie.

First, a wonderful clip of Ling Feng wearing the Foxes jersey on the field was played, and then the camera flashed again across the legends wearing the number seven jersey, including Best, Cantona, Beckham, and Ronaldo, and finally the camera suddenly went black.

As the symphony of Manchester United's team anthem "Glory to Manchester United" echoed, Ling Feng's back appeared in the video.

He was seen wearing the number seven jersey, standing in the middle of the empty Old Trafford stadium, and performing his iconic "King of the World" celebration.

He turned around, pointed at the Manchester United logo on his chest, and gave a wicked smile!
Once this official announcement video was released, it instantly set the Internet on fire!

In just a few hours, it had exceeded one million views, and the number of likes and comments soared like a rocket.

Manchester United fans were ecstatic.

“Wow, this official announcement video is so cool!”

"New Number Seven!"

"We have finally got a real Super Seven!"

Manchester United's No. 7 jersey has always been regarded as the symbol of the club.

Wearing this jersey means taking on the responsibility of the team's offense and also represents the glory and tradition of the team.

In the past years, many legendary players have worn the No. 7 jersey to play for the Red Devils in the Premier League and the Champions League, winning one great victory after another and one championship trophy after another.

Their brilliant achievements and endless charm have made this number a legendary figure in Manchester United's history.

George Best, Bryan Robson, Cantona, Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo.
But since Cristiano Ronaldo left in 2009, the legendary Red Devils No. seems to be cursed.

Michael Owen, Valencia, Di Maria, Depay and other stars have hurriedly put on the No. 7 jersey, but they have never been able to bloom the real magic of the Red Devils No. 7, become the key figure of the team, and lead the team to a new level.
This time, Manchester United and Mourinho chose Ling Feng!
Manchester United fans absolutely support this decision 100%.

Even though he has only been in the industry for two and a half years, he has made fewer than eighty Premier League appearances.

However, Ling Feng's fame and popularity are no less than that of Cristiano Ronaldo who was at the peak of his career back then!
"The successor of the two Germans", "the future world's best midfielder", "England's most outstanding talent in the past 20 years", "the youngest best player in the history of the Premier League", "the first of the new generation of football", and "the future leader of the Three Lions".
Behind each nickname and title, he earned them all with his stunning performances in major events such as the Premier League, Europa League, World Cup and European Cup!

Perhaps in the eyes of fans of the other four major leagues, Ling Feng has never proven himself in the Champions League, nor has he won the Ballon d'Or. How can he surpass him and become the No. 1 transfer king in football? !
Is it because he has a household registration book?

However, in the eyes of English fans, Ling Feng is definitely the best local player in England today!
Moreover, when other talented stars were still unable to get a chance to play in the national team, Ling Feng had already proved himself in international competitions such as the World Cup and the European Cup, and became the absolute core of the Three Lions.

This is something that many superstars cannot do!
The most important thing is that he has an air of “who else but me”!

They have only seen this feeling in Ronaldo and Cantona.

It is worth mentioning that when Manchester United officially announced Ling Feng and announced that he took over the legendary No. 7, Cantona, the former Manchester United king, also tweeted:
"This young man is definitely a genius! His playing style is very creative and entertaining. Manchester United and Mourinho made a very correct deal! (Applause emoji)"

"Although he is not the best player in the world yet, he is very likely to become the best in the world!"

“Mark my words!”

You know, after Mourinho took over Manchester United, Cantona also mentioned the current situation of Manchester United in an exclusive interview with The Guardian.

The "King" does not think Mourinho's style is suitable for Manchester United, which focuses on offense, and feels that Guardiola would be a better choice.

The recognition from the King of Manchester United also prompted Ling Feng to respond on social media immediately:
"Thank you very much for your recognition, Mr Cantona. It means a lot to me."

"Becoming the best in the world has always been my motivation and goal in playing football!"

Just one hour after the official announcement video was released, Manchester United officials announced another good news:

Two days later, on August 8th, Manchester United will use Old Trafford as the stage to hold a grand unveiling ceremony for their new No. 10!

To participate in this grand unveiling ceremony, fans can register on the official website and official Twitter.

At that time, the unveiling ceremony will be broadcast live around the world, and they will witness the Red Devils' new No. 7 arriving at the Theatre of Dreams!
As soon as the news was announced, it was immediately welcomed by fans.

In just less than twenty minutes, all 76,000 places were snapped up!

And 76,000 is exactly the upper limit of the number of spectators that the "Theatre of Dreams" Old Trafford can accommodate!

This shows how eager Manchester United fans are to meet the club's new No.7.
Many times, when a player transfers to a new team, the club’s attitude towards the player can be seen from the method and content of the official announcement.

The care and depth of the official announcement is directly proportional to the club's level of attention.

The more the club values ​​the player, the more grand the official announcement ceremony will be.

Even for the Golden Globe winner, the scale of official announcement and appearance is different:

In 2009, Real Madrid, which aimed to build the second phase of the Galacticos, won two Ballon d'Or winners in one go, Kaka and Ronaldo.

The two debut ceremonies were both held at the Bernabéu, and only six days apart. At Kaka's debut ceremony, 40,000 people attended to witness it;

And at Ronaldo's debut ceremony six days later, there were as many as 80,000 spectators!
Doubled!
This time, from the well-produced official announcement video to the upcoming grand debut ceremony, it can be seen how much Manchester United values ​​Ling Feng.

In Manchester United’s marketing plan, they hope to make Ling Feng, who has both good looks and football skills, the future face of Manchester United!
Of course, in addition to Manchester United, which attracts a lot of traffic, Ling Feng’s personal public relations team also intends to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand Ling Feng’s influence to the world!

I haven’t found a suitable new house near Manchester yet.

So after completing all the procedures and ceremonies of joining, Ling Feng and his party returned to their home in Odby Wigston on the outskirts of Leicester.

After ordering a sumptuous takeout together, the entire team of players sat around in the living room and began brainstorming.

They quickly came up with several publicity plans:

Or let Ling Feng post some very domineering words on social media,

For example, the "new Red Devil No. 7" Ling Feng and the "old Red Devil No. 7" Beckham collaborated to create a wave of hype.

However, after being reminded by the agency team, Ling Feng thought of a very pretentious operation.

"How much would it cost if I bought the front page of the Manchester Evening News?"

The Manchester Evening News was founded in 1868 and is one of the earliest sports newspapers in the UK and one of the most popular sports newspapers in the UK.

As a local newspaper in Manchester, Manchester Evening News mainly reports on the two Manchester giants.

During the Ferguson era, Manchester Evening News was Manchester United's public opinion mouthpiece.

Most of the Manchester United news in the Manchester Evening News is positive.

However, Manchester United's performance has been poor in recent years, and "Manchester Evening News" is no longer as firmly on Manchester United's side as it was during the time of Ferguson.

Instead, they began to frequently report negative news about some clubs.

Because any negative news, as long as it is related to "Manchester United", will have huge traffic!

Manwan has always had its fair share of staunch haters.

For example, Samuel Lackhurst, the Manchester United reporter for Manchester Evening News.

This guy, with his rich imagination and ability to make up stories, had contact with players and agents and fabricated a lot of negative reports about Manchester United's inside story for the Manchester Evening News.

It was also because of this that he was banned by Ferguson from entering the club or contacting players and staff.

Only after Ferguson retired did he become free and once again used the Manchester Evening News as a channel to continue to discredit Manchester United.

In any case, Manchester Evening News is a very influential newspaper in Manchester and even in the UK.

Hearing Ling Feng's question, Mendes raised his eyebrows and then asked:

"What idea did you come up with?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to say hello to the Manchester United fans"

Looking at Ling Feng's meaningful smile, Mendes, Barbara, Sofia and others felt that this greeting was definitely not simple!

. . .

With Manchester United officially announcing Ling Feng, the summer transfer drama of "Where will Ling Feng go" that lasted for nearly three months has finally come to an end.

Ling Feng also became Manchester United's fourth new signing this summer, breaking the transfer record in Manchester United's and the Premier League's history, becoming the No. 1 transfer king in football!

This deal, which was destined to go down in history, coupled with Manchester United's huge influence, let the whole world know that this former Premier League overlord spent 21 million euros to sign the -year-old English superstar Ling Feng!
As the transfer was completed, Ling Feng's personal transfer value on Transfermarkt was also updated from 90 million euros to 100 million euros!
This also makes Ling Feng the fourth billionaire in the football world with a net worth of over 100 million after Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar!
This record-breaking deal of the century gave Manchester United's investors and shareholders hope for the club's resurgence.

As a result, within just twenty-four hours of the official announcement, Manchester United’s share price soared by 15 percent!
The number of fans of Manchester United and Ling Feng himself on social media also skyrocketed by millions!
Although there is still nearly a month left in the transfer window.

However, so far this summer, Manchester United is definitely the most popular player in the transfer market!
Bailly spent 30 million pounds, Kante 40 million pounds, Ling Feng 90 million pounds. In the first summer window since taking office, Mourinho spent a staggering 160 million pounds in the transfer market!

Plus the free signing of super striker Ibrahimovic
The four new players directly strengthened the team's central axis.

As for the club's lavish signings, the fans are very satisfied as they see the club's determination to return to the top of England.

Compared to the embarrassment of Moyes and Van Gaal who could not recruit top players no matter how hard they tried, Mourinho can tell whether he has any or not as soon as he makes a move!
Especially Ling Feng, who was snatched away from major super giants, is definitely the most commendable signing in the history of Manchester United club.

Not to mention Ling Feng's performance after joining the team, the positive impact this transfer has brought to Manchester United alone is worth it.

This means that even though Manchester United is in a trough, it still has great appeal to top players!

This also makes the media and fans full of expectations for Manchester United's new season!

When Manchester United fans went out to buy a copy of Manchester Evening News to see how the local newspaper commented on Ling Feng's blockbuster deal, they were surprised to find that the front page cover of Manchester Evening News was blank!
No, there is only one sentence above:

"Dear Manchester, you're welcome!"

The signature is Ling Feng (Ling Feng) and his personal signature, as well as the Manchester United team logo!
This kind of self-announcement in the form of a letter is very pretentious and domineering.

This sentence seemed to be Ling Feng speaking condescendingly to Manchester United Club and Manchester United fans:

It is your blessing that I can join Manchester United.

But you’re welcome!
