Chapter 256
Paris is the capital of France and the second largest city in Europe, second only to London in the United Kingdom. It is also one of the top five international metropolises in the world.
Paris also has another name called the Romantic Capital. Someone once said that even the air in Paris is filled with a romantic atmosphere.
But Lin Dong certainly wouldn't care about this, and he couldn't feel the so-called romance, because he didn't come here this time for tourism, he came here to make money.
Although there are many places of interest in Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Elysee Palace, the Palace of Versailles, the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, etc., for Lin Dong, the places of interest in Paris are not as good as the Parc des Princes Stadium.
As a player, Lin Dong's first impression of Paris is definitely not the so-called romantic city, but the French giants Paris Saint-Germain, because Lin Dong's suitors have this French giants.
Last summer, the Qatar royal family completed the acquisition of Paris Saint-Germain, which officially ushered in a new era for the originally down-and-out giants, the era of the Jinyuan era.
Under the powerful gold and dollar offensive, Paris Saint-Germain began to recruit in the transfer market. In one summer, the net investment reached nearly [-] million, and Paris Saint-Germain won the summer bid king as it wished.
However, due to the limitations of the league, Ligue [-] is currently only the fifth largest league in Europe. No matter in all aspects, it cannot compare with the top four. Paris Saint-Germain has not recruited real superstars.
Before Lin Dong came to Paris, Raiola told Lin Dong by phone that Paris Saint-Germain was interested in him, but was eventually rejected by Lin Dong and Raiola.
Lin Dong himself refused because of ambition. Paris Saint-Germain is rich, but the status of the league determines the status of the club. Paris Saint-Germain cannot satisfy Lin Dong's ambition.
As for Raiola, although he valued money, he also valued Lin Dong's future. Lin Dong's career has just begun, and he is in the rising period, rather than needing a pension club.
Moreover, Paris Saint-Germain is not only interested in Lin Dong, but also interested in Ibrahimovic. Raiola is currently working hard to facilitate this transfer.
Unlike Lin Dong, if Lin Dong is on the rise, then Zlatan Ibrahimovic is approaching the end of his career. The Swede in 81 has officially passed the age of 30. For football players, the age of 30 is a hurdle, a hurdle that indicates that you are about to go downhill.
Moreover, if there is a comparison, Paris Saint-Germain values Zlatan Ibrahimovic more. Although Lin Dong performed very well, no matter how you look at Lin Dong, he is just a new star.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is completely different. Although the Swede has not won the Champions League, the Swede is undoubtedly a superstar in today's world football. Paris Saint-Germain now lacks such a superstar to enhance the club's reputation and influence.
Of course, Raiola knows how proud these two are. If they were teammates, it would be unbelievable.
At Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, Lin Dong not only brought Zhao Shunyu this time, but also three staff members from his own studio. Since he wants to work with him in the future, he naturally wants to bring them out to get acquainted.
It was Raiola, the agent who came to pick up Lin Dong. Raiola usually lives in France, more precisely in Monaco, if he is fine.
The second smallest country in the world is the same as the two countries of Italy and China, which are the first and third in the world, and Monaco is in the south of France and surrounded by France.
Therefore, France is far more comfortable for Raiola than the country of his birth, and during this time, he has been discussing with Paris about the transfer of Ibrahimovic.
Of course, there is also Lin Dong's contract with Chanel, but compared to the transfer dispute between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paris Saint-Germain, Lin Dong's endorsement has actually been discussed almost, and now he is waiting for Lin Dong to sign.
The endorsement fee is 300 million euros. In the original history, Brad Pitt was twice as small, but this is normal. After all, there is still a lot of gap between the two before, but the contract is not long, only two years.
This was also intentional by both parties. Although Lin Dong was hand-picked by Karl Lagerfeld, Lin Dong is too young after all, and there are too many variables in the future of football players.
As for Raiola's side, it is naturally because of the endorsement fee. Lin Dong has confidence in himself and he believes that he can succeed. Similarly, Raiola also has confidence in Lin Dong, and the two sides hit it off in terms of the contract period.
"The Chanel contract is basically finalized, but the sports contract still needs careful consideration," Raiola said after getting into the car.
At present, Nike, Adidas and Reebok have all contacted Raiola, but the price they offered for Lin Dong did not satisfy Raiola.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I don't mind waiting for another season." Lin Dong's endorsement is not only limited to Europe, but also in China, Tang Ren has several endorsements.
Regarding Lin Dong's self-confidence, Raiola appreciates it very much, "Since the sports endorsement contract is not considered, let's talk about those clubs that are interested in it."
"Alright." Although Lin Dong is not in a hurry, it is very happy to hear about it. After all, most of the European clubs that pursue Lin Dong are wealthy clubs in Europe and have great reputations in the world. In Raiola and Lin Dong's mind, the transfer is currently also a wealthy club.
"If you don't consider Ligue [-] and Serie A, then you can only choose the other three major leagues." Needless to say, Ligue [-] does not have enough influence. As for Serie A, the three giants are very sincere.
AC Milan was not worried at first, but now that Ibrahimovic has a showdown with the club, coupled with the conflict with Lin Dong and the high annual salary, AC Milan did not show any intention of forcing Ibrahimovic to stay.
What's more, the shrewd Galenia knows very well that Ibrahimovic will be worthless in two years, so now that there are local tyrants who are willing to spend money for the Swedes, he will naturally not stop it.
Juventus really doesn't have a good striker. Just look at their performance this season. Although they remain unbeaten, there are more draws than wins, which shows the weakness of Juventus' striker.
Inter Milan has a little difference. Inter Milan is now seriously old, not just forwards, but all lines need to be supplemented with young blood.
It's a pity that Lin Dong didn't want to stay in Serie A after he learned about the darkness of Serie A from Raiola. Besides, he played in Lazio anyway. Although Lin Dong has always emphasized that he has no feelings for Lazio, he is also unwilling to appear in the Stadio Olimpico as a player of other clubs in Serie A.
Therefore, Serie A was also excluded by Lin Dong.
