Ibrahimovic?

It turned out to be Ibrahimovic?

When Pierre Menes exclusively broke the news on his official WeChat public account that the world-class center forward to be introduced by the Chinese Super League giants Jingcheng Guoen turned out to be Ibrahimovic of Paris Saint-Germain, the whole world was shocked.

Almost all the media frantically reprinted the report, especially the mainstream European media, and no one dared to believe this fact.

Indeed, Ibrahimovic is 34 years old and in the twilight of his career, but his form is obvious to all, and he is still the leading scorer in Ligue 1.

The former world football number one is still the star of Paris Saint-Germain, so why sell him?

The French press flocked to Paris Saint-Germain to find out what was going on.

Paris Saint-Germain officials were also quick to respond urgently the next day, saying that Ibrahimovic would indeed leave the team during the winter break, and as for the reason for selling the Swedish center, he did not give a clear statement.

According to the official spokesperson for the Ligue 1 club, selling Ibrahimovic is a sad decision because he has been a vital member of the squad for the past two years and has been a benchmark for all the players in the squad.

But given his age, as well as the team's strategy of rejuvenating and the wishes of the players, the club had to make this painful decision.

At the same time, Paris Saint-Germain also expressed the hope that Ibrahimovic can have a good career with his new team.

If, before, the media and fans were still a little skeptical, hoping that this was fake news, then now, with the official announcement of Paris Saint-Germain, this news has been basically confirmed.

That is, Jingcheng Guoen from the Chinese Super League will bring in Ibrahimovic from Paris Saint-Germain!

This is definitely an earth-shattering transfer deal!

Not just because of Ibrahimovic's influence, but because he still represents some of the best superstars in football today.

If, before, the European media and commentators still generally believed that from China? If capital can only buy second- and third-tier players in Europe, or quasi-first-tier players, then Beijing Guoen will use a series of transactions to tell everyone that as long as there is money, the Chinese Super League team can buy the most popular superstars.

All the media went crazy to report on it, and they all dug deep into the ground to find out the truth.

Why did Ibrahimovic leave Paris Saint-Germain for the Chinese Super League?

Everyone knows that when he went to the Chinese Super League, his career in Europe basically came to an end.

Soon, it was Pierre Menes's official WeChat public account that broke the news.

This time they interviewed an anonymous person close to Ibrahimovic.

According to anonymous sources, there are many main reasons why the Swedish center forward switched to the Chinese Super League, and both sides of the club and the players basically agree to the deal, which is the reason for the Swedish center to go to the Chinese Super League.

Paris Saint-Germain are now thinking about rejuvenation, and after buying Diego Costa, the centre-forward position is a bit bloated.

Monaco, who lost the Ligue 1 title last season and fell behind Coman this season, made Paris Saint-Germain learn from the pain and decide to rejuvenate, so after bringing in Diego Costa, it became possible to sell Ibrahimovic.

As for Ibrahimovic himself, going to the Super League was not a difficult decision either.

Because the boss of Jingcheng Guoen is precisely the boss of Southampton, Yang Huan.

Because Young Master Huan personally came forward to convince Ibrahimovic that he could play a more important role in the Chinese Super League than in Ligue 1, the Swedish center decided to go to China to take an adventure.

"He thinks that Beckham has not been able to conquer the United States, but he can conquer China!"

According to the anonymous source's revelations, the whole transfer is not as simple as the outside world imagined, and the main reason why it has not been announced to the public for a long time is not the player and the transfer itself.

"Many ordinary fans think that the operation of superstar transfer is very simple, one party is willing to pay, one party is willing to sell, and the player is willing to leave, then it can be done, but in fact it is not."

"The real difference between a superstar transfer and its success is the sponsor."

"Ibrahimovic's real transfer fee is very low, not to mention Diego Costabi, even compared with players such as Jackson Martinez who went to the Chinese Super League, it is much inferior, but his annual salary is very high, almost at the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and he holds 50% of his image rights."

"Why is this happening?"

"The reason is simple, sponsor Adidas is willing to help Kyung-kun pay most of Ibrahimovic's annual salary."

"In the past few years, the shirt sponsors of the Chinese Super League have been Nike, which has made Nike's development in the Chinese market very fast, Adidas is at a disadvantage in this regard, but the German equipment provider is actively looking for opportunities for reversal."

"Yang Huan has worked closely with Adidas and Nike, and Southampton has even succeeded in sponsoring two major sponsors at the same time, which has become a great feat in European professional football, and this time, Jingcheng Guoen is also closely contacting sponsors."

"The request from Kyung-kun is simple, they have to operate superstars, and they are the biggest superstars, and when the jersey already belongs to Nike, the player's shoe sponsorship has become the main battleground for wrestling."

"Ibrahimovic used to belong to Nike, with an annual sponsorship fee of five million euros, but it has expired, Kaka's contract with Adidas has also expired, Xavi Alonso's sponsorship contract belongs to Adidas, and Terry belongs to the Nike camp."

"Jingcheng Guoen holds 50% of the image rights of the players, and they have negotiated with the sponsors before to operate the superstar to the Chinese Super League, but the sponsors have to bear part of the costs, especially the annual salary of the players."

"This time, Ibrahimovic switched to Beijing Guoen, Adidas in order to snatch the right to sponsor the sneakers from Nike, did not hesitate to reach an agreement with Beijing Guoen, the Swedish center put on Adidas shoes and competed in the Chinese Super League, Adidas is willing to pay more than half of the annual salary, and launch matching Ibrahimovic merchandise."

"It's full of calculations, after this transaction, what Jingcheng Guoen really paid, I'm afraid it really didn't pay much."

"But did Adidas lose?"

"There is no loss, because they hope to establish a good relationship with Jingcheng Guoen, especially Yang Huan behind Jingcheng Guoen, once Nike's contract expires, they will do everything to snatch the sponsorship rights of Jingcheng Guoen, the top giant in the Chinese Super League, and revitalize Adidas's sales market in China."

'It's like Ibrahimovic, it's like Kaka, Xavi Alonso and John Terry!'

"If we see in the new season that Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Xavi Alonso and John Terry are all wearing Nike shirts but Adidas shoes, don't be too surprised because these are commercial operations."

With Pierre Menez's revelations, insiders in European football are a little better, but for ordinary fans, they are dumbfounded, it turns out that the transfer of superstars is like this.

Oh my God, isn't it true that Jingcheng Guoen didn't spend much money, but capriciously introduced superstars?

Pierre Menes also broke the news that Jingcheng Guoen is not considering the introduction of Asian foreign aid, because they believe that the introduction of non-Chinese players from the Asian region is not cost-effective and not worth considering.

Under the same conditions, they would rather spend more money to bring in popular domestic first-line local stars.

When the overwhelming news from abroad was transmitted back to China, it immediately caused a huge response on the Internet and newspapers, and all the fans were dumbfounded and looked at the continuous large-scale reinforcements of Jingcheng Guoen, and they all felt unbelievable.

If John Terry and Kaka were exhilarating enough, then the arrival of Xavi Alonso shocked all the domestic fans, while Ibrahimovic was crazy.

Countless fans are cheering wildly, thinking that Beijing Guoen will continue to make big moves and will create a prosperous era of the Chinese Super League.

In particular, the blockbuster recruitment of such a big name is bound to break the pattern of the Chinese Super League.

In the case of both foreign and domestic aid, if the new season's Jingcheng Guoen is not the most powerful contender for the league championship, it is simply unimaginable.

The madness of the fans is also reflected in the sales of the Beijing Guoen season ticket.

According to the original club's arrangement, 25,000 season tickets can no longer meet the needs of fans.

In order to better serve the fans, Jingguo Yen had to temporarily add 5,000 tickets, but later after announcing the introduction of Xavi Alonso and Ibrahimovic, the market was further stimulated, and the purchase of season tickets skyrocketed, and the club had to add another 5,000 tickets.

But the supply of 35,000 season tickets is still far from enough to meet the demand of avid fans.

Not to mention that the capacity of Beijing Guoen is only more than 40,000, even Barcelona's Camp Nou may not be able to meet the needs of this group of fanatical fans.

Fang Wei had to hold a press conference in person to clarify the club's helplessness, saying that the season tickets can only be supplied to a maximum of 35,000, considering the current fanatical demand for tickets, in addition to prioritizing the club's die-hard fans, the club will adopt a lottery method.

This move is not much different from the past, but the odds of winning the lottery were relatively large in the past, and now, four people grab a ticket, how difficult it is, you can imagine.

Fang Wei also said at the press conference that the team will officially launch the membership system in the near future, and the membership fee will not be high, the main purpose is to establish a set of member fan management system, so that the club can better serve the fans.

As for the specific operation, the club will have a special detailed description.

For the timely public relations of the Beijing Guoen team, the media and fans also generally affirmed it, believing that this is a positive progress.

Ticket sales are booming, which is obvious to all, and no matter how it is divided, it will definitely cause some controversy and opinions.

Jingcheng Guoen's current approach is understandable, and it also gives specific mitigation measures, which is still very convincing.

Therefore, after this press conference, both the media and fans generally gave affirmation.

At the same time, there are quite a few fans who are amazed by the operation ability of Beijing Guoen, thinking that it is also a reinforcement, and the stars introduced by Beijing Guoen are more big-name and receive more attention, but the real investment is not much more than that of other teams.

All fans basically attribute this series of operations of Jing Guo En to Young Master Huan and the entire operation team behind him, and believe that Jing Guo En has set a benchmark for domestic transfer recruitment.

Not only the domestic media and fans praised Jingcheng Guoen, but even foreign media also believed that Jingcheng Guoen's operational ability was indeed surprising, reflecting the excellent ability of the entire management team behind it.

That is, under the general attention of the media and fans all over the world, and under the unanimous farewell of the fans in Beijing, Beijing Guoen officially opened and went to Barcelona, Spain, to start the summer training.
