I changed football.

Although Li Yuan has clearly expressed his opinion and indicated that he will still be with Monaco next season.

However, Li Yuan's scandals have not decreased at all, and there have been constant revelations these days.

According to a report in the German newspaper Bild, Bayern Munich is interested in spending 4000 million euros to sign Li Yuan as a replacement for Dutch winger Arjen Robben.

Bayern Munich getting involved is one thing, but the Premier League is the real money.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur – all of the Premier League's "Big Six" have been linked with Li Yuan.

Li Yuan seemed to become a hot commodity across Europe overnight.

In contrast to Li Yuan is Mbappe.

While several clubs were interested in Mbappe, there was none of the current situation where all of Europe was interested in him.

In fact, the team newspaper even did a special report on this situation.

"In today's football world, left-footed players are relatively scarce, and left-footed right wingers are even rarer. Right-footed right wingers are more common, like Bale. Many top teams need players on the right wing, and these clubs have all been linked with Li Yuan. You see, Barcelona has never been linked with Li Yuan. It's simple: they have Messi on the right and Neymar on the left, so they don't need a winger at all."

"Another crucial reason is Li Yuan's age. He will only turn 18 on September 4th this year, and he is actually only 17 years old now. Such a young age is his biggest asset. Transfermarkt valued him at 10 million euros in January this year, which is obviously too low."

……

During the 36th round of Ligue 1, Li Yuan was resting at home watching TV.

At that moment, he received a call from his agent, Raiola.

"A team is interested in you and wants to contact you to see your attitude."

"I've said it before, I'll definitely be in Monaco next season, I won't leave."

Li Yuan's attitude was clear: Monaco was supposed to have a successful season next year, and now, because of Li Yuan's presence, Monaco was far superior to the previous team in terms of both strength and results.

Therefore, in Li Yuan's judgment, Monaco's performance next season will only be better than in his previous life. Playing another season and leaving in the summer of 2017 would be a very good opportunity.

At that time, no matter which wealthy family you go to, you will receive a much better treatment than you have now.

Raiola also agreed with Li Yuan's idea: "Monaco can play in the Champions League next season. If you can perform well in the Champions League, that would definitely be better. Playing a full season as a starter next season before leaving is actually a better choice."

"See, you already know all this, so why did you tell me all that information?"

"Hey—I know you'll still be at Monaco next season, but that doesn't stop you from finding out which teams are interested in you. Many top clubs observe young players for one to two years. You're so young, playing so well, and you're a relatively rare right winger. Many top clubs are willing to wait for you."

"Okay, Mino, I admit you have a point. So tell me, which teams have contacted you?"

"Actually, among all those teams that have been linked together, there are only three teams that I really want to talk about in detail."

"Which three teams?"

"Arsenal, Manchester United, and Real Madrid."

"Arsenal?"

"Arsenal are currently short a right winger, and Wenger has high hopes for you."

"There's no way I'm going to Arsenal."

Of course, Li Yuan couldn't tell Raiola that Arsenal's dead number 11 would make erroneous statements in 2019.

Even if he hadn't said those words, Li Yuan wouldn't bother teaming up with someone like that.

Besides, Arsenal is really not good right now, they're a team that can't compete for the title, so why would anyone go there?

If Arsenal are to truly enter the title race, we'll have to wait until after the pandemic.

Li Yuan wasn't so arrogant as to think that just because he was a player, he could take a club from its current state (like Arsenal) to a level where it could compete for four titles.

Arsenal actually has many problems.

In Li Yuan's opinion, Manchester United is much more reliable than Arsenal.

After Li Yuan said that, Raiola didn't say anything and continued talking.

"Manchester United missed out on the Champions League this season, so they're not in a rush to sign you this summer, but they really hope to sign you in the future, as their right flank is a major problem area."

Li Yuan knew perfectly well that Manchester United's right flank had been languishing for a long time. It had shown promise when Greenwood was there, but it quickly faded away again.

He wasn't surprised that Manchester United wanted to sign him; the club, under Ed Woodward's leadership, has a penchant for making business decisions.

According to Li Yuan, both Manchester United and Real Madrid want to sign him, and at least 4% or even more of it is for commercial reasons.

"Manchester United's Ed thinks highly of you and believes you can be developed as the future of Manchester United. If you can come this summer, that would be the best, and you will get a lot of playing time next season. But if you are considering staying in Monaco for another season, you can wait until 2017 to make a transfer, because Manchester United's biggest transfer moves this season will be focused on the midfield and defense."

"That's quite sincere; they even talked about the future."

"Yes, I think it's good to maintain contact with Manchester United and keep a good relationship."

Li Yuan neither confirmed nor denied this.

"Manchester United is, after all, one of the biggest clubs in the world. Even if their performance isn't great after Ferguson, they are still one of the richest clubs in football, and their influence ranks among the top three worldwide. Joining such a club would greatly boost your market value and influence."

"Wouldn't joining Real Madrid be an even bigger deal?"

"Real Madrid is indeed, but if you go to Real Madrid at such a young age—Real Madrid's locker room is too complicated, especially now that Real Madrid has Ronaldo. If you go there, you can only be his underling. I understand you. You definitely don't want to go to a club where there is a superstar above you who is suppressing you after leaving Monaco."

"Real Madrid is indeed a dream for many people, but not for me. Maybe when Ronaldo leaves and Real Madrid needs a new pillar, I'll consider it."

Li Yuan's words now seem a bit arrogant.

Raiola didn't seem to care at all, and instead laughed and said, "Haha, that'll probably be a long time from now."

Indeed, at that time, no one could have imagined that just two years later, 33-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo would leave Real Madrid.

"Manchester United can maintain contact, but what is Perez's attitude towards Real Madrid?"

"Perez Florentino has high hopes for you. He bluntly stated that there is a huge market behind you, and you have great potential. If you are willing to join us in the next one or two seasons, he will directly promote you to the starting right winger position."

"Huh? What about Bell?"

Who knows?
