After this match.
Long Fei's personal assist count in the Championship.
Has reached an astonishing 16!
His ranking on the assist chart.
Has also soared to second place!
In just 8 league games.
Long Fei has gone from nothing.
To successfully reaching second place on the assist chart!
This is simply outrageous in the eyes of any media or fans.
Previously, Long Fei had been performing exceptionally well in the Championship.
Although it had attracted the attention of several media outlets and received extensive coverage.
But these media outlets were mostly local Blackburn media.
Objectively speaking.
England's mainstream media.
Such as Sky Sports, The Times, The Sun, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, etc.
Didn't pay special attention to Long Fei.
Or they simply reported on Long Fei and Blackburn in a brief corner section of their sports pages.
After all, from the perspective of these major media outlets.
While Long Fei's performance was outstanding.
He was still showcasing such abilities in the Championship.
These mainstream media outlets.
Clearly cared more about top-tier leagues like the Premier League.
After all, according to past years.
There have been several players who performed exceptionally well in the Championship.
But their true abilities.
Once they moved to the Premier League, they became unremarkable and faded into obscurity.
Obviously, they also viewed Long Fei as such a player.
But when Long Fei led Blackburn to eight consecutive league victories.
Breaking numerous records in the process.
These mainstream media outlets.
Could no longer ignore Long Fei!
"Just 18 years old", "8 games with 16 assists, averaging 2 assists per game", "First foray onto the European stage".
When these elements converged.
These mainstream media finally realized in astonishment.
This young player from Dragon Country.
Was so dazzling!
However, for talented players like Long Fei.
The most sensitive.
Are naturally the clubs!
After the team defeated Derby County.
A considerable number of Premier League clubs.
Inquired about Long Fei's situation with Blackburn.
Blackburn could only helplessly explain.
That Long Fei is a Manchester United player.
Just on loan to Blackburn for half a season!
If anyone truly wanted to buy Long Fei.
They would need to contact Manchester United.
These Premier League clubs would certainly not be foolish enough not to know that Long Fei was merely on loan to Blackburn.
They simply wanted to learn more about Long Fei's actual situation.
For example, with Long Fei on loan to Blackburn.
Who is responsible for his salary?
Is it a 50-50 split between Manchester United and Blackburn?
Or does Manchester United bear the entire salary, loaning him to Blackburn solely for development?
While these details may not matter to outsiders.
Those in the industry can immediately see.
Long Fei's position within Manchester United.
And what kind of existence he is!
After all, knowing these details.
These Premier League teams wanting to buy Long Fei.
Would be less likely to be taken advantage of by Manchester United demanding a hefty price!
Long Fei is just 18 years old, extremely young!
At such a young age, he can achieve such incredible stats in the Championship.
It's highly likely that Manchester United will demand a high price!
。。。。。。
Manchester United club.
Manager's office.
Manchester United team manager Ed Woodward was still working.
Head of Scouting Jim rushed in urgently!
"Ed! Something's wrong!"
"We have to act immediately on Long Fei's contract!"
"If we don't react, the consequences will be serious!"
Ed looked up, momentarily not comprehending.
But upon hearing Jim mention Long Fei.
He also said with a smile:
"Jim, I've seen the news, Long Fei led Blackburn to 8 consecutive wins!"
"It's truly a remarkable achievement!"
"Maybe, as Long Fei said, if he continues at this rate."
"He might really be able to lead the team to achieve good results and get a work permit!"
Jim said anxiously:
"That's not what I'm talking about! I'm talking about Long Fei's contract!"
"Contract? Oh, of course!"
"Long Fei is performing so outstandingly now, we absolutely cannot use that near-youth team contract anymore!"
"Once I finish up what I'm doing, we'll discuss Long Fei's new contract."
Jim saw that Manager Ed didn't understand what he meant at all.
So he told him everything about the multiple Premier League teams.
Inquiring about Long Fei's situation with Blackburn.
Ed furrowed his brow slightly.
"Long Fei is our player, why would they ask Blackburn about him instead of us?"
As Head of Scouting, Jim naturally knew what these Premier League teams were up to.
"These teams don't contact us directly because they want to figure out Long Fei's true situation."
"Blackburn's manager told me they were very thorough in their inquiries about Long Fei!"
"Sometimes clubs are interested in a certain player, so they inquire about club-related information, it's common."
"But it's extremely rare for these Premier League teams to ask in such detail!"
"This shows that they truly want to make a move for Long Fei!"
"Even with my scouting sensitivity, I can tell these teams are very likely to make an offer!"
At this moment, Ed finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
He looked at Jim and asked:
"I remember in Long Fei's contract, there was something about..."
"That's right, Long Fei's contract has a release clause!"
"And at the time, the amount we set was only 8 million euros!"
Jim said with a serious face!
Ed's face finally paled.
"Only 8 million euros?!"
"Contact Long Fei immediately! Invite him to discuss a new contract!"
"No! We'll go ourselves! Book tickets for tomorrow morning!"
