That evening, at the last dinner party before the holiday held by Real Madrid, Florentino asked Lu Wenbin and Mendes for a contract extension, but was rejected by Mendes.
Lu Wenbin originally wanted to tell Florentino that he would not leave this summer and would stay for at least one season, but Mendes stopped Lu Wenbin from doing so. He wanted to use the transfer rumors of Lu Wenbin to hype his fame.
Although he will not leave, the continued ambiguous attitude and hype will greatly help to increase Lu Wenbin's popularity.
With Lu Wenbin's current fame and worth, even after the season ends, there will be no shortage of news about him this summer, and it will definitely be very frequent.
Mendes ambitiously wants to make Lu Wenbin the third football king, and a super football king with much greater fame and commercial value than Maradona and Pele.
This not only requires Lu Wenbin to continue to have outstanding performance in competitive results, but also requires continuous media exposure.
As for the fear that this would bring to the Real Madrid club management and fans, Lu Wenbin didn't like the club and their fans anyway, so he just didn't bother to pay attention.
Mendes said that hype is beneficial, so he let the Real Madrid club and fans suffer from fear for two months and let everyone guess!
Mendes and Lu Wenbin's refusal to discuss contract renewal has indeed made everyone in Real Madrid worried, and there has also been heated discussions in the transfer market about Lu Wenbin's whereabouts next season.
Although Real Madrid is known as the world's top club, having won ten Champions League titles and completed the treble, in fact, with Lu Wenbin's current status, it no longer needs to rely on a top club to survive.
Whichever team he goes to, that team will become a giant.
Lu Wenbin alone led Hoffenheim, Inter Milan and Real Madrid to complete the treble, which is much more impressive than Real Madrid's one treble.
Before Lu Wenbin came to Real Madrid, Real Madrid was firmly suppressed by its arch-rival Barcelona in the league and had not won the league championship for several years.
In the Champions League, the club has been stuck in the awkward circle of being the 16th place in the Champions League for consecutive years, struggling to win the club's tenth Champions League title in history.
It was Lu Wenbin's arrival that led Real Madrid to win the long-awaited league championship, six wins over Barcelona, the tenth Champions League, an unbeaten season, an unbeaten record in La Liga, a triple crown, etc., pushing the Galacticos to a more glorious peak.
Lu Wenbin himself has also achieved many feats, including ten goals in a single game, 23 goals in the Champions League, 67 goals in La Liga, 23 goals in the King's Cup, 117 goals in the club season, and won the La Liga Golden Boot, King's Cup Golden Boot, Champions League Golden Boot, European Golden Boot, etc., and is reported in various media almost every day.
Not only that, after Lu Wenbin transferred to Real Madrid and was fixed in the attacking midfielder position, Lu Wenbin's role is not limited to scoring goals.
Including the national team games, Lu Wenbin has completed more than 60 assists in total for the club and national team this season, and is the assist king on all fronts.
Lu Wenbin plays a huge role in the attacking midfielder position for the club and the national team.
Any team that introduces Lu Wenbin can immediately improve its offensive level by several levels, and may even become an invincible team like Real Madrid.
Such a role, coupled with his record of winning every time he participates in a competition, naturally makes people very jealous.
Although Lu Wenbin's transfer fee and annual salary are very high, there are still wealthy teams that are striving for the Champions League and have repeatedly extended olive branches to them, wanting to recruit Lu Wenbin to win the Champions League trophy or even the treble for them.
As Lu Wenbin's attitude towards contract renewal with Real Madrid is ambiguous, Chelsea and Manchester City in the Premier League, Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, AC Milan and Juventus in Serie A, etc., have all been rumored to be interested in Lu Wenbin's transfer.
Even Barcelona has rumors that they want to sign Lu Wenbin to strengthen their own strength while weakening the strength of their arch-rival Real Madrid.
Of course, in reality these transfers do not exist. They are just gossips about Mendes and other teams with an ambiguous attitude.
Lu Wenbin will neither transfer away nor renew his contract to seek a salary increase or anything like that!
If he renews his contract, the penalty fee will definitely increase. I’m afraid no team can afford him!
After shooting several endorsement commercials and attending several events in Europe, Lu Wenbin flew back to China to lead the Chinese national team to prepare for the World Cup Asian qualifiers.
After winning the King's Cup and the Quadruple Crown, Lu Wenbin also completed the tasks related to the King's Cup and the Quadruple Crown, and received 50,000 experience points + 35 skill points + hidden skill "position selection" as rewards respectively.
Including the competition experience, Lu Wenbin's system experience rose to level 19 14.803 million/20 million, with 35 skill points remaining, and the position selection skill was activated.
Positioning is the position of standing, which is mainly used for defense and to curb the opponent's quick counterattack or passing route.
Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do, but when you take a key position and block the opponent's passing route, the opponent won't be able to quickly counterattack by passing the ball.
Of course, frontal defense is also used a lot. It can block the opponent's breakthrough route and make it impossible for the opponent to break through, or the ball cannot be passed through, thus successfully defending.
There is no distinction between potential value and current ability value for positioning skills. There is only one current ability value. Lu Wenbin's positioning value is 6, which can be said to be quite low.
It can be seen that Lu Wenbin is not a natural defensive player.
Position selection is the same as judgment and creativity, 5 skill points plus a value.
Of the 35 skill points, Lu Wenbin first spent 14 skill points to increase the 8/19 defensive skill to the full value of 20/20, increasing the frontal interception defense ability.
Then, I spent 20 of the remaining 21 skill points to increase the position selection from 6 to 10, and the remaining 1 skill point was useless and just stayed there.
After completing the addition of points, Lu Wenbin's personal information became:
