This piece of news was suddenly published on the front page of Barcelona's mouthpieces Daily Sport and Mundo Deportivo, and immediately caused huge repercussions throughout European football, especially in Spain.
The front page of the Daily Sports newspaper read "Su Dong belongs to us!", and the cover photo was accompanied by a picture of Su Dong's back, which was plastered on a Barcelona jersey. The number on the back was the nine that Su Dong had when he was in Valencia.
Number.
This jersey number originally belonged to Kluivert, but after Kluivert moved to Newcastle, his No. 9 jersey was released, and now it is handed over to Su Dong.
This was also the jersey number Ronaldo wore when he played for Barcelona.
The news from Daily Sports is that Barcelona has officially reached an agreement with Valencia on the transfer of Su Dong. The three parties are just short of signing and confirming that Su Dong can already be regarded as a Barcelona player.
This was regarded by Daily Sports as a major victory in Barcelona's transfer war!
"By signing Su Dong, we have signed the most powerful and potential talented rookie in today's world football. Barcelona has an advantage in the competition for future talent reserves. Su Dong can at least ensure that Barcelona's striker will be safe in the next ten years."
Daily Sports also reported the whole process of Barcelona defeating Real Madrid in the transfer war and signing Su Dong.
In addition to covering up some transactions between Laporta and Rosell, the report described the entire process in a brilliant and suspenseful way, making everyone think how thrilling it was for Barcelona to sign Su Dong.
Finally, Daily Sports also revealed that Barcelona will pay a sky-high transfer fee of 80 million euros to Valencia in order to sign Sudong, which will break the record of Zidane's transfer fee from Juventus to Real Madrid that year.
Barcelona's mouthpiece described Su Dong's transfer as crazy, but also said that the deal was very worthwhile because Su Dong was only 19 years old!
"You know, when Ronaldo moved to Inter Milan when he was 20 years old, he also broke the transfer fee record in world football history. Now, we have signed back the 'Ronaldo' of the new century!"
…
World Sports also once again confirmed the record-breaking price of 80 million euros, and said that Real Madrid had also paid this price before, and even Florentino could add another player as a top player, but he was still beaten by Valencia.
rejected.
"Roig once promised Valencia fans that during his administration, he would never let any Valencia player transfer to Real Madrid. Now he has fulfilled his promise!"
Mundo Deportivo believes that Barcelona's signing of Su Dong for a record-breaking price of 80 million euros is indeed a big gamble, but the strength and potential Su Dong has shown for two consecutive seasons are worthy of this price.
"We have absolutely reason to believe that he will become an even better superstar than Ronaldo back then!"
World Sports also revealed that Barcelona is not alone.
Nike, the club's main sponsor, also worked behind the scenes to encourage Su Dong to join Barcelona instead of Real Madrid.
"Su Dong's sponsor is Nike. This sports brand from the United States is also a sponsor of Valencia. It was Nike that persuaded Valencia to sign Su Dong. But now, they are not willing to switch to Su Dong.
Real Madrid, sponsored by Adidas, persuaded Barcelona to sign Su Dong."
"To this end, Nike will increase its sponsorship fee for Barcelona and work with Barcelona to further explore the Far East, especially the Chinese market. This will be a very good opportunity for Barcelona."
World Sports also revealed that Audi was also involved in this transfer. The main reason was that Su Dong was the spokesperson of BMW. However, in this transfer negotiation, Audi, as the main sponsor of Barcelona, won part of the transfer.
Su Dong’s image rights.
That is, Audi can "appropriately" use Su Dong's image rights for publicity and promotion when borrowing the image rights of the Barcelona team.
The restriction is that Su Dong cannot leave the country alone and must appear in a team.
World Sports News believes that Su Dong has not yet joined Barcelona, but he has already aroused the enthusiastic pursuit of Barcelona sponsors.
"The club management is considering striking while the iron is hot and selling Barcelona's chest advertisements, which will bring huge profits to the club."
But World Sports also revealed that Barcelona management is taking a cautious approach to this, because in Barcelona's more than 100 years of history, there has never been a chest advertising sponsor. If Laporta rashly advertises on his chest,
This will definitely arouse dissatisfaction and protests from many fans, especially die-hard members.
…
With the confirmation of Barcelona's two major mouthpieces, the European media gradually received the news.
Su Dong's transfer to Barcelona for a record-breaking price of 80 million euros undoubtedly caused a thunder in the calm summer transfer market, and also brought about a series of chain reactions.
After Real Madrid missed out on Su Dong, they immediately proposed a replacement plan and signed Michael Owen from Liverpool for 12 million euros plus Nunez.
Since Irving only had one year left on his contract with Liverpool, Liverpool chose to deal it with Real Madrid at a low price when Irving was reluctant to renew. This also allowed Real Madrid to once again fulfill its strategy of one superstar per year.
On the contrary, Benitez, who had just coached Liverpool, was very dissatisfied because Owen was in his plan.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the money to sign Su Dong. Now even the leading striker Irving has been sold. What’s going on?
Manchester United, which has been silently guarding the transfer market but has never made a move, also announced the signing of English teenager Rooney from Everton for a sky-high price of 44 million euros after the news of Sudong's transfer to Barcelona came out.
This is another shockingly high-priced transfer!
Who is Su Dong?
In two seasons, he has won five golden boots, a super genius, and is known as an upstart in European football who has a chance to win the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or.
Such a player is worth 80 million euros, which everyone already thinks is very expensive.
But what about Rooney?
Apart from the goal he scored against Arsenal, which ended the Gunners' 30-game unbeaten streak, what else can Rooney do?
He made 40 appearances for Everton last season and scored only nine goals.
But what about Su Dong?
Seventeen goals in the Champions League are more than Rooney!
For example, after the Spanish media announced that Sudong had transferred to Barcelona for 80 million euros, media all over the world exclaimed that Barcelona was being ripped off. Sudong was not worth such a high price, so if Rooney paid 44 million euros
After Euro moved to Manchester United, all the media changed the topic.
Sotong, so delicious!
Spanish star Luis Suarez even supported Su Dong in an interview with the media, believing that if Rooney is worth 44 million euros, then Su Dong is worth at least 100 million!
However, the Spanish star also said that after transferring to Barcelona for a record high price, the most important thing for Su Dong is to deal with the pressure and burden caused by the high price transfer. He hopes that Barcelona fans can give him more time and patience and help him.
He fit into the team.

of.
At the tactical level, who will dominate Barcelona's goals has become everyone's doubt.
Rijkaard said in an interview with the media that there is no problem with the cooperation between Su Dong and Ronaldinho.
"They are both phenomenal talents. I believe they will work together very well on the court."
In addition, Valencia Daily also quickly revealed more details of the transfer.
"According to insiders who do not want to be named, Barcelona's transfer fee for signing Su Dong will be paid in installments. When the two parties signed the contract, Barcelona first paid a transfer fee of 40 million euros, and then paid 10 million euros every year."
Valencia Daily also revealed that after receiving Su Dong's down payment, the Bat Legion will use it to pay for the players such as Di Vayo that new coach Ranieri wants to acquire, hoping that they can fill Su Dong's vacancy in the new season.
.
"Ranieri is ambitious and firmly believes that he can lead this team, which has just won the La Liga and Champions League double championships, to continue to achieve good results in the new season!"
Valencia Daily also interviewed players from the Bat Corps, including Vicente and Aimar. Many players expressed regret for Su Dong's departure, but they also understood the choice of the club and Su Dong.
"This is professional football!"
…
Valencia's strength has been greatly affected by the transfer of Sudong. Coupled with Benitez's move to Liverpool, the prospects of the Bat Corps in the new season are worrying. All media basically believe that it will be difficult for Valencia to reproduce the glory of last season.
Barcelona's strength has greatly increased after signing Sudong, Deco and many other stars.
Real Madrid has also signed players such as Samuel, Woodgate, Owen and Graveson, and its overall strength has improved significantly compared with before, especially on the defensive end.
Therefore, it is generally believed that La Liga in the new season will be a two-horse match between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The only suspense is who will have the last laugh between Real Madrid and Barcelona?
Can Su Dong, who was transferred at a record high price, continue his outstanding performance last season?
Or will he be overwhelmed by the pressure of a huge transfer?
And all this will have to wait until the new season of La Liga is announced!
