Apart from Milner, all the key players have been offered for the contract. Even Caldwell, whom Li Shiguang jokingly said he would sell for money, has been offered 4 million euros by Newcastle!

After carefully reviewing the emails containing offers, Li Shiguang quickly called Allen, indicating that he could talk to these clubs.

After deciding which players to sell.

Li Shiguang picked up the thick stack of scouting reports that was always on the right side of his desk. Since so many teams had made offers, seemingly intent on poaching Leeds United, Li Shiguang might as well play along and give Leeds United a major overhaul.

After the start of next season, Leeds United's main strikers will be Falcao and Berbatov. They can switch to a 4-4-2 formation with two center forwards, or Berbatov can play behind Falcao and continue with the current 4-2-3-1 formation. However, Li Shiguang will need to provide them with 1-2 substitutes for rotation.

After flipping through the scouting reports in his hand for a while, one player caught his eye: Edin Dzeko, the 19-year-old Bosnian striker. Dzeko, currently playing in the Bosnian league, had yet to showcase his talent, making 20 appearances last season and scoring only one goal. However, Li Shiguang saw in the system that although Dzeko's current rating was only D+, his actual talent was rated A by the system.

Most importantly, Dzeko's current market value is only 20,000 euros, which is practically free money for Li Shiguang.

After putting down Dzeko's report, another figure came to Li Shiguang's mind: Jamie Vardy! This future teammate of Kasper Schmeichel at Leicester City, a late-blooming England international, after Leicester City made history by winning the Premier League title in 2016, Li Shiguang even looked up information about this inspirational striker online. In his memory, Vardy, who was only 18 years old at the time, should still be playing for a lower-level team in Stoke City.

Li Shiguang decided, it's the two of them!

In midfield, Li Shiguang plans to hand over the left flank to Gareth Bale, who will soon turn 16. Under Li Shiguang's deliberate instructions, the youth academy has been having Bale try out many positions in training recently. This has allowed Bale, who initially started as a left-back, to become adept at playing as a winger and left midfielder, and his overall rating has risen to B-, which is enough for him to establish himself in the Premier League.

On the right flank, Li Shiguang just found an unexpected pick in the scouting list that even he hadn't thought of: Frank Ribery, who will become a free agent next month.

Ribery was originally slated to join Marseille on a free transfer from Galatasaray next month, but two years later Marseille sold him to Bayern Munich for €25 million.

But since Li Shiguang happened to come across this opportunity, he was determined to take advantage of it. Moreover, the 22-year-old Ribery had already reached a B+ rating in the system and an A+ level in talent. He believed that after persuading him to join Leeds United, under his guidance, he could probably quickly max out his system rating. Then, when he sold him, he might get more than 25 million euros.

As for the defensive midfield position, there are Milner, Yaya Touré, and Mascherano. In addition, he has his eye on Luka Modric, who just returned to Croatia from the Bosnian league. Modric's name is not in the scouting report, but Li Shiguang just found a photo of Modric online. As he expected, this midfield maestro's talent has reached the same S+ level as Ronaldinho, and his current strength is enough to be included in Leeds United's plans for next season.

Regarding the center-back position, although Kompany and Chiellini have received offers from various teams, Li Shiguang doesn't plan to sell them yet unless an offer triggers their €20 million release clause. In the recent scouting report, Li Shiguang noticed Thiago Silva's name. Silva, currently playing in Porto's reserve team, is still young, and Li Shiguang intends to acquire him. Combined with Pique, whom he had previously wanted to sign, and Milner, who can also play as a defender, this should be sufficient.

In the positions of the two full-backs.

On the right, Li Shiguang chose Maicon, who is currently playing for Monaco. This future world's best right-back is currently valued at around 5 million euros, and Li Shiguang should have enough funds to acquire him.

On the left side, Li Shiguang is currently planning to bring in Lahm, who can play on both sides, but it is still uncertain whether it will work out. After all, Lahm, who has been with Bayern since childhood, may not be willing to leave the Bundesliga, so he can only try his best to win him over.

As for McNair and Mills, Li Shiguang's idea is to sell them if possible, and if they can't be sold, they can be used as rotation players to supplement the team's roster depth.

There's not much to consider regarding the goalkeeper position. Schmeichel's performance this season has been mediocre, but Li Shiguang still plans to go to Schalke 04's youth team to poach 19-year-old Neuer as a backup.

Of these planned signings, Lahm is probably the most difficult to acquire; the other players should be easy to sign.

After gathering his thoughts, Li Shiguang let out a soft breath, shut down the system, and then called Allen again, asking him to come to the office.

A moment later, Allen knocked on the door.

After letting him in, Li Shiguang first handed him the list of players he had compiled and asked him to arrange for someone to contact them.

He then took a sip of tea and asked, "By the way, how's West Bromwich Albion doing lately? Has he made any moves since I replied to Bates' email last time?"
