From Arsenal to the Ball God
Chapter 347 - 104: Reporting on the France Team! Final Market Value Update of 2011! Ball Control Upgrade!_4
€45,000,000!
This is his new valuation; compared to last time, there is an increase of €15,000,000!
Undoubtedly, this is the most dramatic increase in valuation in his career thus far. The Premier League and the UEFA Champions League have brought him tremendous attention.
His performance on these two stages has significantly boosted his value, bringing his valuation to a staggering figure.
——"Keep pushing forward."
Ma’el replied to every one of them, smiling with a clearly good mood.
From €8,000,000 to €20,000,000 to €30,000,000, and now to €45,000,000.
He sees the results of every step he takes, seeing a value that’s quite indicative.
Right now, player valuations haven’t ballooned, and this €45,000,000 is highly substantial.
If placed in the future, it wouldn’t be audacious to say he’d reach over a billion, and certainly close to it!
"This is the last update for this year."
Koscielny sat beside him, still chuckling at Transfermarkt news, "I don’t know how much I can get, and how much you can get.... Let me see, first place Messi with €130m, second place Cristiano with €100m, third place.....
"Sixteenth place, Ma...." he suddenly looked up at Ma’el, his pupils slightly shrinking, "Ma’el, €45m?!"
Koscielny gaped, uttering in shock, "You actually have €45,000,000? Wotafa! You’re second only to Van Persie on the team; this must be the highest valuation above 90 players, right?"
His voice was loud, quickly drawing many France team players to turn their heads.
Giroud at the front row curiously asked from a distance, "What’s happening?"
"Ma’el’s new Transfermarkt value is €45,000,000! Quickly tally who’s ranked where in our crew." Koscielny laughed heartily, genuinely happy for his teammate and proud they’re both Arsenal players.
€45,000!
This is astronomical!
Moreover, valuations on Transfermarkt are generally understated; when Ma’el’s Transfermarkt valuation reaches €45,000,000, his transaction price will exceed €60,000,000!
An 18-year-old kid at €60,000,000, it’s practically like a sci-fi novel.
"Oh.....!" Giroud held his head, also full of amazement, looking at Ma’el and said, "You could buy three of me, haha."
Everyone now heard clearly that Ma’el’s valuation is €45,000,000, and suddenly, the entire conference room was filled with noise.
It’s the kind of faint noise where you can hear everyone talking but can’t make out the words.... like a classroom during recess back in school.
"Benzema has dropped, he’s lower than Ma’el." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"What will the Real Madrid star think?"
"Haha..... is he still a Real Madrid star?"
"That said, besides Bayern Munich’s Ribery, isn’t Ma’el the highest-valued in the team now?"
"Just a young premium."
"Don’t talk nonsense, I actually think his stats this season are worthy of this valuation."
"If not age, what else do young players represent? When you were young, didn’t you get the young premium?"
They chatted away, lacking the demeanor of club superstars, mainly because the price was quite astounding.
18-year-old Messi and 18-year-old Ronaldo, if memory serves right, one had a valuation of around €40,000,000, the other around €22,500,000.
Even the Santos young general Neymar, now sought after all over Europe, the recognized successor of Samba football, had a valuation of only €32,000,000.
Ma’el, the player who just entered professional league in his second season, is already at €45,000,000?
In the front row, Evra saw his valuation drop by one or two million Euros, and looking at Ma’el’s valuation, he felt a tinge of bitterness.
However, he only showed a grim expression, not openly displaying anything at this moment.
Frank Ribery at this point stared at his phone, looking at the name just four places lower than himself in the valuation rankings, a sense of urgency welled up in his heart, rendering him unable to focus.
This time he proactively approached Evra, asked, "Who do you think Deschamps will pick?"
"You." Evra, troubled with nowhere to vent, immediately leaned over and said, "Rest assured, it will be you, that kid hasn’t experienced major competitions, definitely a big-match soft linker."
Feeling this statement was imprecise, he added, "I mean major competitions, not important matches."
Almost putting his own team Manchester United into a bad context, it’s absolutely taboo.
"Quiet."
Deschamps quickly entered from outside, ending the players’ clamor.
This day’s meeting he didn’t speak much, just emphasized recurring issues in training, and outlined the training objectives and requirements for tomorrow.
...
November 14, this afternoon, Ma’el, taking breaks for various skill training, finally greeted an upgrade moment again.
His ankles, knees, even parts from his hips to waist and shoulders, all felt a sense of lightness.
It’s just an instant feeling, disappearing immediately as if it never existed.
"Boom boom boom...!"
However, when Ma’el juggled the football again, it seemed glued to his feet, his legs couldn’t help but perform quick actions of pushing, pulling, stepping, and jumping, with his body swiftly swaying,
"Clap clap...!"
His direction-changing speed became extremely rapid, his ball control capabilities noticeably enhanced, his affinity with the football climbing again.
He felt no matter how quickly he wished to flick or tap the ball, his feet could keep up.
No matter how fast he changed football direction, it followed him obediently!
