Huang Qian, who loves to sell forwards, sells forwards one year, is good and cheap. Will it be Ai Yong next year?

There are too many small clubs in the top five European leagues, especially La Liga clubs today. Except for Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, they don’t spend much money. Some clubs train stars to sell them, such as Villarreal, who sold a striker in a year, and sold the team’s leading striker in three consecutive summer windows.

Huang Qian sold forwards in the past three years: In the summer window of 2023, Huang Qian sold Jackson to Chelsea for 37 million euros. He trained his own youth training and sold it in one season after he was promoted to the first team.

In the summer window of 2024, Huang Qian sold Sollot to Atletico Madrid for 32 million euros. In the summer window of 2023, he spent 10 million euros to introduce him from Leipzig, and he sold him after training for one season.

In the summer window of 2025, Huang Qian sold Tirno Barry to Everton for 30 million euros. In the summer window of 2024, he spent 20 million euros to introduce him from Basel and sold him in one season.

After Villarreal sold Tirno Bari, he immediately promoted Ai Yong from his youth training second team to the first team. In the first round of La Liga, Ai Yong scored 1 goal, helping Villarreal defeat the newly promoted Real Oviedo 2-0.

It can be seen that Villarreal is good at training forwards. He usually sells it in one season and earns tens of millions of euros to maintain the club. With Huang Qian’s rule of selling forwards, perhaps the summer window of 2026 will be selling Ai Yong, let’s wait and see! This is the survival way for La Liga teams except the top three. It would be easy to understand that Real Betis can't afford Anthony. The purchasing power of La Liga teams is far less than that of the mid- and lower-level teams in the Premier League.
