Raw in MTLNovel : "The Red Devils Successor"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking at the young man's surprised expression, Tiger King pointed to him: "I'll make an agreement with you now, you come to Manchester United, and the No. 7 jersey is yours a few years later. How about it, Leroy Sane?"
Manchester United's No. 7 jersey can be said to be one of the famous giant traditions in world football. The players who passed through this jersey are almost all international football figures: Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Owen ...
Behind these names are legendary journeys.
With Tiger King's temptation of No. 7 jersey, the next day, Sane signed a contract. Tiger King was very satisfied. He told Sane to take a good vacation and the team started training on July 15.
Sane had been successfully transferred, the transfer fee is 800,000 euro, and Tiger King still has 49.2 million transfer funds available.
Continue to buy more players.
The few of them were resting in Gelsenkirchen for one night, and then rushed to Stuttgart the next day.
Driving to Stuttgart, Woodward admired, "Tiger, I always thought you were an honest man, and I never thought you would tell a lie."
"Huh? What lie did I say?" Tiger King didn't understand what he meant.
"You still don't admit it. Yesterday, you lied to Sane that he would be able to wear Manchester United's No. 7 jersey. Isn't that a lie? How can a young player like him be eligible to inherit Manchester United's No. 7?"
Tiger King asked back: "When Ronaldo came, isn't he only 18 years old? He could wear No. 7 jersey, so why couldn't Sane?"
Woodward waved his hand: "How can this Sane and Ronaldo be the same? The latter is a peerless genius dug out by Sir Ferguson himself."
Tiger King smiled slightly: "Ed, I'm not lying to coax Sane, I am really going to give him the No. 7 jersey in the future. Rest assured, this young man has a bright future ahead of him."
After speaking, Tiger King didn't look at Woodward's stunned look, leaned on his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
After arriving in Stuttgart, Tiger King effortlessly talked to Stuttgart club, and then spent 1 million euros in the youth training camp to buy an 18-year-old young German defender, Joshua Kimmich.
Joshua Kimmich is a young midfielder who can attack and defend well. In later generations, he was bought by Bayern Munich and became a hope for the future. The reason why Tiger King fancy Kimmich is not because of his talent in the midfield, but because of his adaptability to positions.
Before Philipp Lahm retired, Kimmich once played as his substitute as a full-back during Lahm's injury. However, everyone did not expect that in 7 games, he scored 1 goal and 6 assists, which made everyone impressed. In the position of full-back, Kimmich can play offensively and defensively to the fullest extent. His efficient defense and accurate cross are his advantages.
Tiger King is very clear that in future generations, international football is extremely lacking in excellent full-backs, so reserve a young talented full-backs in advance has become a major goal of Tiger King.
Kimmich successfully transferred to Manchester United, the transfer fee is 1 million, and now Tiger King still have 48.2 million transfer funds available.
Continue to buy more players.
Tiger King continued to tap many young players in Germany. At the same time, some major events have also occurred in the German football transfer market.
The first is the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich. The newly hired coach Guardiola has made successive shots. First, he spent 25 million euros to bought his favorite midfielder, Thiago Alcantara, from his old club Barcelona.
Then he spent 38 million euros to Dortmund to introduce Germany's hottest young star, Mario Gotze. After the completion of these two transfer transactions, the midfield lineup of the Bundesliga giant has become more luxurious.
Dortmund is not to be outdone, they first dug out the Ukrainian Footballer of the year winner of the previous year's Ukrainian Premier League, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, from a Ukrainian giant, Shakhtar Donetsk. This transaction cost a total of 27.5 million euros for the Hornet.
Next, they bought Sokratis Papastathopoulos from Bremen, another Bundesliga giant, just behind Dortmund and Bayern Munich. This transaction cost a total of 9.5 million euros. Then news came that Dortmund successfully renewed their contract with Marcos Reus. After the renewal, Reus' annual salary reached 6 million euros, ranking first in the Dortmund club.
Other Bundesliga clubs also have big moves, albeit smaller.
But Tiger King's main concern is not their transfer situation, but the transfer details related to Lewandowski.
He found out that Bayern had never offered any contract to Lewandowski, and after Dortmund lost Gotze, they were so determined not to let Lewandowski transfer this summer. Even so, there was no news of Lewandowski renewing his contract with Dortmund.
This series of chain reactions made Tiger King very happy. Seeing that, like in the previous life, Lewandowski eventually did not reach a contract extension with Dortmund, he will became a free agent in the summer of 2014, and eventually transferred to Bayern Munich.
But Tiger King will never let Lewandowski go to Bayern. He has already taken it easy, and he must invite Lewandowski to Manchester United and create a new and powerful red empire!
When the trip to Germany is over, Woodward asks Tiger King: "Tiger, now that we're done in Germany. Which country shall we go to next?"
Tiger King looked at the list in his hand and thought briefly: "Go to the Netherlands first, it's closer with Germany."
"Netherlands? Shall we go to Amsterdam?" Woodward's eyes flashed, and he said with a little excitement, "This time we are too busy. We can go there to relax."
Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands. It is famous for its open sexual culture and is known as the "World Capital". Tiger King said to go there, he thought they go there to relax. (is it? i didn't know that)
Tiger King gave him a scornful look: "Ed, we have little time on our hands, we don't have time to visit the red light district. If you are interested, you can go there alone next time. What do you think?"
"Forget it, it's the club's difficult time now, let's talk about it after the transfer is done." Woodward was a bit sorry.
In this trip, in addition to signing a series of young players, Tiger King's relationship with Woodward is getting closer and closer. If the two have just met each other, it is absolutely impossible for them to talk about this kind of sensitive topic. Tiger King also became more and more favorable to the Manchester United business executive who was nicknamed The Businessman (I made that up).
In fact, this guy just pays more attention to the club's interests, as long as he does not interfere with his own management of the team and buy and sell players, from a professional point of view, he is really a very good business executive. From a transfer speed point of view, Tiger King is very satisfied with the fact that it is simple and not cluttered.
"Let's go, Ed, there is still a good central defender in the Netherlands waiting for us. He is about to sign a contract with others right now, and I need you to help me snatch him back!"
"No problem, it's my specialty to win a player over other clubs."
