Raw in MTLNovel : "The Red Devils Successor"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Woodward signed the 17-year-old Alli very quickly, which made Tiger King very satisfied.
While Woodward was working hard to acquire the transfer, Tiger King was not idle. He personally went to Bolton, a city in the northern side of England, to meet his second transfer target, the EFL Championship club, Bolton Wanderers F.C.' Left-back, Marcos Alonso.
Marcos Alonso's contract has just expired this season. He is negotiating with the Bolton Club to renew his contract. But, just this morning, he suddenly received a surprise call from Italy. ACF Fiorentina, a Serie A club, had the intention to sign him.
This made Alonso overjoyed, the leap from the Championship to Serie A was a step into the sky. He asked the Fiorentina Club about his future plan on the phone, and the Fiorentina Club told him that they would sign him first and then loan him to a Premier League club to exercise for one or two years. If his strength can improve to a sufficient level, they will call him back to the club and start from the bench.
Alonso heard this and was a little disappointed. During this year, he performed well in the Championship and received the attention of some Premier League clubs. He understands that the reason why these clubs are interested in himself is more because of his Free agent status. As for whether he can play in the game is yet to be known.
Furthermore, Alonso understands that he has little space in Serie A as an offensive and defensive wingbacks. The best choice for him is to stay in the English league with a faster pace. It is also good to rent to the Premier League.
While Alonso is considering his choice, at this time, a person came to visit his house.
Alonso opened the door and saw a strange face: "Sir, who are you looking for?"
"Are you Marcos Alonso?" The stranger asked him sharply.
Alonso said: "I'm Alonso, you are?"
The man smiled and handed him a business card, Alonso was surprised when he saw it: "Tiger King? Manchester United Manager?"
Tiger King smiled and said to him, "Won't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"
"Oh yes, please come in sir!" Alonso let Tiger King into the room and asked him to take a seat. Alonso did not understand why this young Manchester United Manager, who has been questioned recently, suddenly appeared outside his home.
When Tiger King spoke his thoughts, Alonso was so shocked that he said, "Mr. King, you wanted to sign me?"
"Yes."
Alonso's heart pounded, and he calmed down for a moment: "Does Manchester United lack a substitute left back now?"
Tiger King shook his head: "Marcos, Manchester United now does not lack a substitute left back, but we lack a main left back."
"Ah? What do you mean?"
"You are the main left-back of the team I wanted to build, Marcos." Tiger King stared at Alonso with a fire in his eyes.
"This ..." Alonso still couldn't believe it.
"Marcos, you know, my time is precious now, so I can come to you in person to invite you, I think I have already expressed enough sincerity." Tiger King suddenly stood up at this time, he was facing Alonso and reached out his hand, "Come to Manchester United with me, let's create an era together!"
Alonso was immediately ignited by Tiger King's words, he reached out his hand, and held tightly with Tiger King.
In the office of the Manchester United club the next morning, Alonso signed his name on a five-year contract. Tiger King looked at him with a smile and was very excited. This future Spanish defender, who is on the left side of Chelsea, was finally incurred by himself.
Alonso is a free agent, so the transfer fee is 0, and there are still 50 million transfer funds available in Tiger King's hands.
Continue to buy more players.
The goal of buying in England is over, and Tiger King's next stop is Germany. Woodward, along with several transfer negotiators, followed Tiger King to Germany.
The first stop of Tiger King is Ruhr, a famous industrial area in Germany.
On the way to a cafe in Dortmund, Woodward said to Tiger King in the car: "Tiger, I wanted to apologize for what I said a few days ago. I said that I don't know all 15 of the people on your list, but actually, I am very familiar with one of them. Now that we are going to meet this person, so I apologize to you in advance."
"He is a rare comprehensive center in the world football today. If this player can come to Manchester United, then he, Van Persie and Wayne Rooney will form a terrorising attack line that can deter the whole of Europe." Tiger King said with his eyes closed, while leaning his body on the car seat.
Woodward continued with excitement: "And his contract with Dortmund will expire next year, so now his transfer fee will certainly not be too outrageous. And with his appeal, it can bring more influence to the club. Tiger King, your choice is good. "
"Let me state it in advance that I only consider it from a competitive perspective."
"Well, no matter what you say, I would be very happy if we could sign him."
"Seriously, Ed, I didn't expect you to have a good relationship with his agent."
"There are more agents who have a good relationship with me. Now that you and me get along slowly, you will know that I am a great businessman, hahaha."
Tiger King opened his eyes and glanced at Woodward, who laughed aloud, and he suddenly felt that this annoying guy didn't seem to be so bad.
In the cafe's private room, Tiger King met his target, Robert Lewandowski.
"Hello Robert, it's nice to meet you."
"Hello, Mr. King."
Tiger King looked at Lewandowski. He was very calm like a hero who could destroy any enemy on the court.
At this time Lewandowski was also looking at Tiger King. The new manager of Manchester United has also piqued his curiosity. He doesn't know why the Manchester United club chose him to take over the position left by Ferguson, but it is certain that this man named "Tiger" must have something special.
Woodward also said a few words to Lewandowski's agent, and everyone went to the topic.
"Robert, I want to sign you." Tiger King went straight.
After a moment's delay, he didn't expect that Tiger King would say this so easily. After thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. King, I can't accept your invitation."
Hearing that Lewandowski directly rejected Tiger King, his agent was worried that Tiger King and Woodward would not be able to meet his face, so he quickly explained: "This is not what Robert meant, but the meaning of the club. This summer the club does not intend to sell Robert Now. "
This information stunned Woodward, he then said with a deep face: "But how did I hear that a few days ago, Dortmund had discussed with Bayern Munich about Robert's transfer?"
Lewandowski did not speak, but his agent sighed: "It was like this, but something went wrong."
