After rejecting Liverpool, Tang En was not worried that Benítez would simply let things go; he knew that Liverpool badly needed a forward like Crouch.
As expected, Liverpool's second offer swiftly appeared before Tang En and Evan. This time, their offer was irresistible to Forest: 11.5 million pounds!
Upon seeing the offer, Tang En looked up at Evan with a grin. "The new Euro Champions are indeed generous."
Evan nodded. "What about Crouch's side?"
"I haven't asked, but I don't think Crouch and his agent would refuse Liverpool's offer. Their terms of contract are much better than what we currently offer."
As they started discussing wages, their attention moved from Crouch's transfer to an adjustment of the pay structure of the team.
