Among all the European clubs, Real Madrid is the one most closely linked to Lu Wenbin's transfer rumors.
Only Real Madrid is suitable for Lu Wenbin in terms of fame, financial resources, business operations, and demand level.
Although Lu Wenbin's transfer to Real Madrid may not necessarily earn him the most money, his fame will definitely increase explosively.
After Florentino's two terms of superstar policy, although Atletico Madrid's performance is not very outstanding, and it is even in the dilemma of being the 16th round of the Champions League every year, it is the most famous team in the world in terms of fame.
If there is a team in the world that is the most famous among non-fan groups, it must be Real Madrid.
Even many ordinary office workers, netizens and girls who never watch football and don’t care about sports know the reputation of the Galacticos Real Madrid.
Some girls even asked when they were watching the World Cup with their boyfriends: "Why didn't Real Madrid come to participate in the World Cup?"
It can be seen that Real Madrid's popularity has transcended the scope of football and expanded to the entire society.
Paris Saint-Germain doesn't even qualify for the Champions League next season. Anzhi in the Russian Premier League is out of the question.
Real Madrid's biggest rivals are actually Barcelona, Manchester City and Chelsea. Juventus, AC Milan, Manchester United and Liverpool are relatively lacking in financial resources.
However, Barcelona has Messi, an outstanding product of their La Masia youth training camp. If Lu Wenbin goes there, will he deprive Messi of his core position? Or will Messi be the boss and Lu Wenbin be Messi's younger brother
Obviously impossible.
Therefore, Barcelona's bid is actually just to cause trouble for Real Madrid and increase Real Madrid's transfer costs.
Manchester City and Chelsea are not at the same level as Real Madrid in terms of fame and business operations.
As long as Florentino makes concessions on Lu Wenbin's personal treatment, the chances of Lu Wenbin transferring to Real Madrid are the greatest.
The biggest reason that forced Florentino to step back was Real Madrid's performance in recent years.
Since the 2004/2005 season, Real Madrid has been able to advance to the Champions League group stage every year, but has been defeated in the round of 16 every year.
In the 2004/2005 season, they were eliminated by Juventus, in the 2005/2006 season, they were eliminated by Arsenal, in the 2006/2007 season, they were eliminated by Bayern Munich, in the 2007/2008 season, they were eliminated by Roma, in the 2008/2009 season, they were eliminated by Liverpool, in the 2009/2010 season, they were eliminated by Lyon, and in the 2010/2011 season, they were eliminated by Bayern Munich.
Real Madrid, the best club of the 21st century with a large number of superstars and a powerful presence, and the Galacticos have been eliminated in the round of 16 of the Champions League for seven consecutive seasons. It is no wonder that everyone nicknamed them the Sixteenth Man of the Champions League.
Now this is no longer a teasing nickname, but a shame.
After taking charge of the Galacticos for the second time, Florentino spent a huge amount of money to buy Ronaldo, Kaka and Benzema, hoping to break this embarrassing record.
Unexpectedly, the team still couldn't break free of this shackles and was still blocked from the quarterfinals every year.
This time, Florentino is determined to recruit Lu Wenbin, the top football star who can win the championship in every competition he participates in and has led two different teams to complete the treble.
Even if it means making concessions to Lu Wenbin, it would be worth it.
Of course, Lu Wenbin’s transfer involved too many aspects, so Florentino first dealt with Mourinho.
Lu Wenbin enhanced the team's strength at the player level, while Mourinho enhanced its strength at the coaching level.
In fact, Florentino had long had his eyes on Mourinho, but Mourinho's failure to win the Champions League last year and the penalty clause prevented him from making up his mind.
Now that Mourinho is no longer hindered by the penalty clause and has completed the treble, Florentino will naturally not miss him again.
On June 25, 2011, Real Madrid held a press conference and announced the signing of the magic bird Mourinho.
The two parties signed a four-year contract, and Mourinho's annual salary after tax is as high as 10 million euros, almost the same as Ronaldo, making him the well-deserved highest paid coach in the industry.
Suddenly, Real Madrid fans were cheered up.
If Lu Wenbin is the most famous player in recent years, then Mourinho is the most popular coach in recent years.
The reputation of the madman Mourinho is famous all over the world.
From Porto to Chelsea to Inter Milan, the teams coached by Mourinho have never lacked championships.
Moreover, Mourinho himself is a big mouth and often makes shocking remarks. His popularity among fans is no less than those football superstars, and he has many advertising endorsements such as Armani.
In terms of coaching results alone, there are many coaches who are no worse than Mourinho.
The reason why Florentino took a fancy to Mourinho and was willing to pay him the highest annual salary in the coaching world was that Mourinho's image and popularity were superior to other coaches.
He believes that only a coach with a strong personality like Mourinho is worthy of being the helmsman of Real Madrid.
The madman did not disappoint Florentino, reporters and fans.
At the press conference, Mourinho said publicly: "In Portugal, I led Porto to win the Champions League; at Chelsea, I helped them win the league title after 50 years; at Inter Milan, I helped Moratti complete the treble. I am a person who likes challenges, and I think only Real Madrid can rekindle my desire to fight."
Mourinho's declaration made the fans even more excited and everyone began to look forward to the new season.
Florentino was also happy to sign Mourinho.
Of course, the more positive significance of this incident is that it brings Real Madrid closer to Lu Wenbin.
Because Mourinho's agent is the same as Lu Wenbin's, both are Mendes. And Mourinho and Lu Wenbin worked together for a year at Inter Milan last season and the cooperation was very pleasant.
After signing Mourinho, Florentino asked Mourinho to act as a middleman and strongly invited Lu Wenbin to join. He also made concessions on the share of image rights and was willing to accept Lu Wenbin's request for a 90% share of image rights.
This was a step Florentino was willing to take after the team was defeated again in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season.
As the helmsman of the best club and Galacticos of the 21st century, Florentino no longer wants to be a laughing stock of the world.
He must lead the team to break the embarrassing record of only being the sixth in the Champions League, win the tenth Champions League and dominate the world!
The sharing of income from image rights licensing was the biggest obstacle that prevented Lu Wenbin from signing a contract with Real Madrid last year.
Now that Florentino has taken the initiative to back down, with Mendes and Mourinho as intermediaries, and other good conditions, Lu Wenbin finally made the decision to transfer to Real Madrid. (Seeking monthly tickets)
