Chapter 708 - 13: Isabella’s Euphoria! Arsenal’s Maneuvers in the Transfer Market! Ma’el’s ’Temptation’!

"This is the confidence brought to you by positive feedback time and again, and the assurance given to you by your growth speed... In short, where you are doesn’t really matter that much.

"What you might care about is comfort, the level of importance, a sense of feeling, and how others view you and interact with you.

"In this regard, I am very confident, and I’ve long promised myself to be sincere with you.

"Even though at times it may seem foolish, it is foolishly lovable... because compared to keeping you, this expense is not considered an expense to anyone.

"But it seems, except for me, few are willing to treat others this way."

Ma’el was somewhat moved after hearing this, and felt the sincerity and wisdom of the old French coach from the bottom of his heart.

He paused for a long time before saying, "I’ll call Bell, please send me his contact information. I will also invite him to watch the European Cup semifinals and meet his three teammates in advance."

"Good idea." Wenger’s voice still carried a hint of a smile, "But it’s four teammates, or rather five, don’t forget Mertesacker is in Germany, and Podolski as well."

"Haha....."

Ma’el chuckled and, after hanging up the phone, stared at the sky in deep thought for a long time.

Is the future promising?

Perhaps not only the future, but every day now can also satisfy him... Being able to work, play, and live with these people, pursue honor and greatness, is his fortune.

But not only that, being involved in major affairs of the Arsenal Team and the France team, receiving special treatment and attention from many people, also gives him a sense of achievement, always feeling like he is very important to many people.

This feeling is not disgraceful, people need it, especially he needs it.

Because when he came into this world, he had nothing—these are all results of more than two years of work.

Now, it’s time to look forward to the European Cup semifinals, where he yearns for the intercontinental championship!

...

"When Ma’el in his peak period enters the transfer market, let’s see what will happen."

On June 28, after the first round of the European Cup semifinals had already started, the BBC was still crunching the latest transfer rumors about Ma’el.

"At 11:30 AM on June 26, Florentino was photographed meeting with Mendes at a restaurant in Warsaw. It’s said that Old Buddha is willing to throw out 140 million pounds in breach fee to forcibly terminate the player’s contract.

"And offered a signing bonus of 20 million pounds and a team maximum salary of 15 million pounds!

"This would raise the player’s salary to 300,000 pounds per week, placing his salary among the top 3 in the world!"

"....."

"At 3:30 PM, the Deputy Secretary-General of the French President’s Palace, Mr. Michel, met with Wenger. According to Wenger himself, Michel tactfully conveyed the hope to have Ma’el play in Paris.

"He thinks Ligue 1 lacks an absolute superstar; if Ma’el goes to Paris, the league’s broadcast fees and commercial endorsements will soar, mainly due to the increase in potential viewership!

"Wenger also revealed that Michel stated Paris is willing to sign both Ma’el and him, and create a new Arsenal in Ligue 1, which can attract more investors to Ligue 1 and improve the league’s overall level.

"Reportedly, Paris is willing to spend 140 million pounds in breach fee for Ma’el, and also prepared at least 60 million pounds in signing bonus and 20 million pounds in annual salary!"

"....."

"At 7:00 PM, Juventus’s inquiry was resolutely rejected; Arsenal didn’t even consult their offer and rejected the transfer.

"Juventus’s chairman Agnelli felt offended, stating that Arsenal showed no respect towards the buyers!

"He doesn’t think signing Ma’el is impossible; they can afford the breach fee and offer the player a lucrative contract."

"....."

"At 7:30 AM on June 27, Barça was also reported to be interested in Ma’el. Rumor has it that Barça’s chairman hopes to have Messi be the lobbyist to persuade Ma’el to join and create the Dream Four Dynasty.

"Barça’s sudden interest in Ma’el was due to the increasingly fierce departure storm surrounding Guardiola.

"The team believes his departure will inevitably weaken combat strength and force a change in style. At this time, they hope to have two core players.

"Messi agreed to the request and expressed willingness to find a way to coexist with Ma’el within the team, which also left Fabregas with lost face."

"....."

"Extended news, according to Barça players within the Spain team, Fabregas lost his temper in the locker room, stating he would leave the Spain team and Barcelona Team after playing this European Cup.

"Besides that, he requested his teammates to help him one last time, hoping to use the championship to prove his importance to both teams, then leave gracefully to start his revenge journey!"

"....."

"Extended news, Benzema was already informed by his agent that if Florentino successfully signs Ma’el, he might be sold!

"The player somewhat understood this through public opinion, which dealt a blow to his self-esteem. Rumor has it that he’s started exploring possibilities of leaving Real Madrid for other teams; Atletico Madrid might be his first choice, Chelsea his second.

"Is this another avenger bearing hatred? The world of football is becoming more interesting.

"Ma’el has ignited passion and frenzy within all the clubs; though it makes him look glamorous and bright, it also inflicts considerable damage on many people."

"....."

"At 8:00 PM, Guardiola was in the final stages of signing with Bayern Munich. The Bayern higher-ups stated that Guardiola hopes the team finds a way to sign Ma’el! He would build a tactical system based on the player!

"According to this higher-up, even though Guardiola described the system as certain to be invincible and unstoppable, helping the team to win everything, the team still found it difficult to achieve this goal.

"To sign Ma’el, besides breaking his breach fee, they have no other choice; 140 million pounds plus at least 20 million pounds signing bonus plus 15 million pounds in annual salary is too costly for Bayern.

"Moreover, it’s challenging to win against the competition from Real Madrid, Barça, and even Paris and Arsenal."

"....."

"Completely chaotic! Ma’el, who scored 6 goals in 4 European Cup matches, has already been regarded as the new generation’s king of players! His allure has driven all the football giants in the world into madness!"

"....."

"At 5:45 AM on June 28, the Spain team defeated the Portugal team 2-0 to enter this European Cup final! They are poised to make history by winning 3 consecutive major championships!

"Fabregas scored twice! Hatred seems to have given him endless power, and he stated he’s ready to wait for Ma’el’s arrival in the final!

"Cristiano Ronaldo expressed regret over this, stating he would lead Portugal’s comeback in 4 years, while feeling regretful for not having faced Ma’el; he hopes they meet in next year’s Champions League.

"By then, he would prove he is the best forward to come out of the Premier League, unmatched by anyone."

"....."

"That’s all for this issue; let’s await tomorrow for the second semifinal match of the European Cup! The match between Germany and France will take place at the Liv Stadium in Kyiv!

"If a summary for this madness is needed, I’ll use a sentence mentioned earlier: All the chaos you see now is caused by Ma’el’s allure!"

.....

ps: I’ll write another Chapter after having a meal, it’s steady, feels like the state is adjusted, aiming to carry on.
