"Then there's Adriano. After Moratti agreed, Raiola has already communicated with him about our desire to buy him." Seeing that Li Shiguang had no objection to the prices of Dzeko and Vardy, Allen took the letter of intent that Li Shiguang handed back and then talked about the players themselves.

"So early? Didn't Moratti say he had deep feelings for Adriano? The money hasn't even arrived yet, and he's already throwing caution to the wind?" Li Shiguang was quite surprised.

The season isn't over yet, and Li Shiguang can hardly imagine how much of a blow it would be to a player to hear that he's been abandoned by the team at this point, especially since he's in the most difficult period of his life.

Allen's expression also showed helplessness: "There's nothing I can do. I heard from Raiola that after Mancini set his sights on Dzeko and Vardy, Moratti immediately had the club staff inform Adriano that he had been sold by Inter Milan. In Raiola's words, the young man's mental state isn't very good right now."

"Damn it! Moratti, that old man, is so dishonest." Li Shiguang cursed softly. "Let Raiola keep Adriano in check for now. I'm too busy here. Come to Milan with me at the end of the month."

"Also, keep in touch with Galliani. Since we're going, let's take care of Kaka's matter at the same time."

“Okay.” Allen nodded and quickly agreed.

After finishing the conversation, he noticed that Allen was still rummaging through his briefcase and showed no intention of leaving.

Eager to get to training, Li Shiguang quickly asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Hmm." Allen handed over another stack of papers, much thicker than the previous one. "Boss, these are the offer emails we've received from various clubs recently. I've printed them all out."

"Holy crap, so many?" Li Shiguang took the stack of papers in surprise, feeling its thickness. Before even starting to look at them, he muttered to himself, "Are these people here to rob us? Trying to bankrupt Leeds United?"

Seeing his boss's speechless expression, Allen found it amusing and quickly explained, "Boss, isn't it nearing the end of the season? Think about it, we've already made two big signings, so naturally other clubs will start making moves too. And it's not as exaggerated as it seems. There are quite a few offers, but the targets are actually only a few players."

"Alright." Li Shiguang pursed his lips and handed the things back to Allen. "There's no rush now. Come to my office after training, and I'll take a look."

····

Leeds United's training session ended around 3 p.m.

Li Shiguang grabbed Simone, who was trying to slip away, and headed towards his office.

As soon as I went upstairs, I saw Allen already waiting for me in his office.

Upon seeing Allen waiting at the door, Simone immediately sensed something was wrong. If he didn't slip away now, he didn't know when he would be able to leave work. So he quickly complained loudly, "What's going on, boss? Why did you drag me here to talk to Allen? Carolina is waiting for me to go back and talk to her on the phone!"

Seeing Simone like this, Li Shiguang resisted the urge to reveal that he and Carolina would be divorcing in a few years. He grabbed Simone, who had already turned around, and said, "Don't try to slip away, Diego! Today's events are important, and you're involved too!"

"What's up?"

"Let's do business!"

After the three entered the office, Allen placed the stack of papers he had taken out at the training ground that morning on the coffee table and then went to make tea for the two of them.

Li Shiguang picked up the quotation emails and distributed a stack to Simone, then began to read them carefully.

Just like Allen said.

There were indeed many clubs making offers, but only a few actually made offers, and most of them were concentrated in Leeds United's midfield and attack.

First up is Modric.

The Croatian's outstanding performance this season has impressed the head coaches of several top clubs.

Li Shiguang had offers from Barcelona, ​​Roma, and Tottenham, while Simeone had offers from Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund.

The highest bid came from Barcelona at €29 million.

"How so?"

"We can't sell it!"

They exchanged a glance, and Li Shiguang asked a question, which Simone answered at the same time.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Taking the two offers for Modric from Simeone, Li Shiguang neatly arranged them with his own and placed them on the coffee table. Pointing to the offers, he said to Allen, who had just walked over, "Reject all offers for Luca, including any that we receive later!"

"Okay." Allen nodded and placed the water glass in front of the two of them.

Suddenly, Simeone pulled a list from his hand and placed it in front of Li Shiguang: "Boss, I also have Real Madrid's offer for Zlatan. Calderon offered 20 million euros!"

"Tch!" Li Shiguang glanced at it and casually tossed the offer sheet aside. "That old miser! I spent 21 million euros to buy Zlatan from Juventus, and he thinks he can take him to Madrid for 20 million euros? Dream on!"

But after saying that, Li Shiguang immediately turned to Allen, who was sitting on the other side: "Give Raiola a heads-up, if Calderon contacts a player privately, tell him to notify you immediately."

“Okay, boss.” Allen covered his mouth and chuckled, “But I don’t think he will, after all, you ripped him off so much money last time.”

Hearing Allen's teasing, Li Shiguang and Simone both smiled and shook their heads, without responding.

However, Li Shiguang believed he knew Calderon quite well, and thought that Calderon might actually be capable of such a thing.

The current situation regarding Real Madrid's attacking line is quite detailed.

In the center forward position, although Van Nistelrooy has only been with Real Madrid for less than a year, he is getting older and has been getting more and more injuries. Moreover, Higuain, who joined in the winter transfer window, is still a bit green.

For Capello, who is unaware that he will most likely leave Real Madrid after this season, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whom he is familiar with, is a good replacement.

No need to think about it.

This offer was definitely whispered in Calderon's ear by Capello, which is why it appeared in Li Shiguang's office!

However, once Capello leaves after the season, this matter will probably be dropped. After all, based on what I remember, Real Madrid will undergo a major overhaul this summer, marking the end of the Galácticos era under Florentino Pérez.

At that time, Calderon will be too busy to have the energy to negotiate with me!

"Boss, this offer... is quite interesting!"

Just then, Simone's voice suddenly broke into Li Shiguang's ears.

Looking up, he saw Simone staring at him with a sly grin, handing him the price quote that Simone had just mentioned as somewhat interesting...
