Raw in MTLNovel : "The Red Devils Successor"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With this shot, Tiger King has signed ten players. Of these ten players, Martial's transfer fee of 6 million euros is the highest for now.

He knew that in future generations, Martial's trajectory should be to move to Monaco, and then in two years became the main player of Monaco, and also became a hot star of the French Ligue 1. He was later bought by Van Gaal for 58 million pounds to Manchester United. In the first season, he became Manchester United's important thigh, having saved the Red Devils many times. However, after Mourinho took over as Manchester United manager, Martial fell into a low tide and never recovered his first season status.

Tiger King has always believed that this is not Martial's problem, but that Mourinho's tactical system is incompatible with Martial way of playing. Martial is not the type of player who can return to defense in time. He is very much like his predecessor Henry, fast speed and good dribbling. But under Mourinho, Martial had a loose control on the court due to the mismatch with Mourinho's tactical system, which made Mourinho annoyed and put him into the bench. But Tiger King believes that Martial's talent is excellent, and if he is given the space to play freely, he can definitely become a second Henry. As for defense, Kante is always ready to defend behind him.

Signing Martial made Tiger King very happy, he is now driving to Rennes and telling Woodward that he wants to sign a future World-class Footballer.

Woodward is now completely convinced by Tiger King's valuation level. After he followed Tiger King to Rennes, he negotiated directly with the club and signed the future world-class Winger, Ousmane Dembele.

Dembele has never had a chance to play at the club, and the club did not feel that this young man has any potential at all, so Tiger King smoothly signed Dembele with a termination fee of 1 million euros.

Tiger King said to Dembele with a smile, "you are a player who can become a world-class footballer in the future, and I hope Manchester United will be your place to go world-class."

Of course, Dembele himself thinks this is just a kind of polite appreciation.

But Tiger King remembers that in future generations, Dembele showed his power at the Dortmund club in the Bundesliga. In the 2016-2017 season, he contributed 10 goals and 21 assists in Dortmund, and become famous. In the summer transfer period of 2017, Barcelona took the young star into her arms with an extremely high value of 150 million euros. The president of Barcelona once said, "Dembele will be a world-class footballer in the future!"

After signing Dembele, Woodward looked at the list of transfers previously made by Tiger King: "Tiger, in your 15-person purchase list, except for Lewandowski, Isco, and Fekir who we have not been successfully signed. 11 people have been bought by us, and now there is only the last player, and he is far away in Brazil. Can we take a break first and take a day off. I am really tired. . "

Tiger King's transfer puzzle is almost perfect, his only regret is that he did not sign Lewandowski. Now he really needs a player who can substitute for the growingly old Van Persie. At present, he is not assured of Welbeck and other small peas performance, and Martial is too young and needs to be honed before he can play in the main matches. With the stress of not signing the 3 players he had in mind to replace Van Persie, he really needs to relax for a day or two. So he agreed with Woodward's suggestion of a day off.

Woodward was very happy. He took Tiger King to the nearby city of Istres, to meet his old friend, Chairman of the Istres Club Chairman.

When Woodward went to chat with his old friends, Tiger King was hanging out at the club's training ground. At this time, the club is playing a young player trial. Tiger King watch it with interest. A young African player suddenly caught his attention. This player is in the back of the post. In the training game, he not only had good defense, but also had excellent skills. After the steal, he passed a good long pass and launched an attack.

At this moment, the two young coaches are talking because these young players come from all over the world, because the two coaches are also communicating in English.

"That back has good skills, good defensive position, and a sharp shot. But his body is too thin."

"Yes, if his body is a little bit stronger, he must be a good back, but you can recruit him into the youth team and train him first, maybe there is a chance to become famous."

"Alright. What's his name again?"

"Naby Keita."

"What!?" Tiger King heard the name beside him, he almost screamed. This is Naby Keita? No wonder he looked very familiar just now.

Tiger King is very familiar with Naby Keita's experience. Naby Keita made his debut at the Red Bulls Salzburg. Due to his outstanding performance, he was bought by the new Bundesliga club RB Leipzig for 15 million Euros. In a few years, Naby Keita has grown into the top defensive player in international football. In the midfield, he not only has a strong defensive ability, but also has a precise pass. Many professionals even compared him with Kante and Pirlo. But his only flaw is that his body is really thin and weak, and he often suffers in some confrontations. But even if the weakness is obvious, it can't hide the true nature of his world-class capability. In the summer of 2017, Liverpool bought him for 60 million euros.

Tiger King really didn't expect that Naby Keita actually tried in Istres before going to Red Bulls Salzburg. It was really amazing.

Ginger hurriedly called Woodward, and Woodward had no idea what was going on: "What's wrong?"

"I need you to translate for me now."

Tiger King took Naby Keita to the side while he was resting and pulled him aside. It only took 5 minutes to negotiate a transfer agreement with Naby Keita, and Woodward sent one of his negotiators to prepare the contract, and then signed a youth team contract with Naby Keita on the spot. Then, Tiger King asked the negotiator to take Naby Keita to Manchester and arrange everything for him.

Unexpectedly recruited a midfielder, Tiger King was really happy.

Naby Keita is a free agent now. The transfer fee is 0, and there are still 32.7 million transfer funds available to Tiger King.

Woodward watched Tiger King's series of operations, he was stunned, and just wanted to ask who is that Naby Keita. Suddenly Tiger King's cell phone rang, Tiger King answered the call, and suddenly becomes happy: "Okay, I want this person! I'll go now!"

I hung up the phone and Tiger King said to Woodward in excitement, "Let's go, we need to go back to Le Havre now."

"What happened, didn't we just come from there?" Woodward asks tiredly.

"There is a future transfer king, and now I am going to buy it at the price of a cabbage!"
