Lunchtime on the second day.

Li Shiguang went alone to a restaurant in the suburbs of Basel, where he met Cristiano Ronaldo, who was still in a bad mood.

Interestingly.

In order to avoid leaking the news in advance.

Today, Mendes not only put some effort into choosing the meeting place, but also personally acted as a waiter after learning that Li Shiguang didn't mind the order of the dishes being served.

So when Li Shiguang walked into the restaurant's private room...

Mendes was just serving the last dish he had prepared for lunch today.

"Cristiano, is this all you're eating? The season is over, you can relax a bit." As soon as he sat down, Li Shiguang looked at Ronaldo curiously and asked, looking at the cod, chicken breast, and broccoli placed in front of him.

"Mr. Li, but I haven't won anything." Ronaldo was in low spirits, his expression grim. "I've achieved nothing this season... Now is not the time to relax..."

Seeing Ronaldo like this.

Li Shiguang and Mendes exchanged a glance.

Then Mendes silently spread his hands, as if to say, "This is Cristiano Ronaldo." In terms of self-discipline alone, he is probably the most disciplined professional player in the world, bar none.

“Alright.” Li Shiguang smiled and got down to business. “Has Jorge explained things to you clearly? I asked to meet with you today to hear your own thoughts now.”

"What happened? What happened?" Ronaldo looked up, his face blank.

“Uh… Mr. Li.” At this moment, Mendes spoke up, “I think it’s more appropriate for you to talk to Cristiano personally about such an important matter, after all… I’m just an agent.”

No wonder your business used to be bigger than Raiola's!

Getting it right!

Once Mendes said that, Li Shiguang understood.

The Portuguese agent understands Ronaldo's personality well. He knows how much motivation and honor the title of world's most valuable player represents for Ronaldo.

If Li Shiguang were to personally explain this matter and make Ronaldo feel how much Li Shiguang values ​​him, even if Ronaldo is arrogant, he would probably be extremely grateful to Li Shiguang.

He gave Mendes an approving look.

Li Shiguang turned his head and looked again at Cristiano Ronaldo, who was still in a daze.

"Cristiano, I believe you already have some idea of ​​the main reason for meeting with you today."

"It's actually very simple. Some time ago, Leeds United and Manchester United reached an agreement on your transfer! Now, as long as you give your approval, this transfer deal, which will definitely shake the world of football, will be officially announced and finalized."

Just like Li Shiguang said.

Although Mendes didn't say anything, Ronaldo clearly guessed what today's meeting meant, so after Li Shiguang finished speaking, Ronaldo's expression didn't change much; it was only slightly better than before.

But soon.

Cristiano Ronaldo realized Li Shiguang's choice of words.

A sensation worldwide?

After thinking about it for a while.

Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly remembered something that the Leeds United owner had mentioned when he first met Li Shiguang in Bern.

It really worked?

Thinking about this...

The gloom that had been lingering in my mind from being eliminated by Germany in the European Championship was suddenly swept away by more than half, and the expression on my face gradually brightened up.

"Mr. Li...you just mentioned...a transfer that caused a sensation around the world?"

“Yes.” Li Shiguang nodded with a smile, not keeping him in suspense, “78 million euros, Cristiano, that’s your latest market value.”

How many?

This time is different from the last time.

Cristiano Ronaldo is very clear-headed.

Last time in Bern, the 85 million euros that Li Shiguang mentioned was just a seafood pancake, and it was a seafood pancake where the flour hadn't even been ground yet!

After all, that was the time.

Cristiano Ronaldo himself hasn't made a decision yet about whether or not to leave Manchester United!

But this time it's different!

Facing Leeds United, a potential signing who also possesses the strength to compete for various titles, Cristiano Ronaldo, already determined to leave Manchester United, is actually a little worried...

····

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't sleep very well last night, mainly because he had too many things on his mind.

That afternoon, they were thrashed by Germany in the quarterfinals of the European Championship, losing their chance to advance to the semifinals. Then that evening, they received a call from Mendes, saying that Li Shiguang wanted to meet with him today.

Upon learning this news, Ronaldo was conflicted for almost the entire night.

In his opinion.

My contract only has one year left.

Even though Li Shiguang racked his brains trying to get himself to Leeds United.

But this is, after all, doing business!

Under these circumstances, it's impossible for Li Shiguang to spend a large sum of money to buy his own.

As the party in control.

Li Shiguang will likely wait another year until his contract expires, and then bring himself to Leeds United without spending a penny, or persuade himself to go on strike so that Manchester United can sell him at a low price.

Today's meeting was most likely prepared in order for Li Shiguang to persuade him to quit training.

So on the way here.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been struggling with this decision.

He wants to leave Manchester United; he wants to compete for more titles.

But facing his mentor Ferguson, who discovered him, Ronaldo was unwilling to do something like refusing to train!

But now.

None of this will happen!

Leeds United have reached an agreement with Manchester United!

Moreover, Li Shiguang wasn't lying to himself; although it wasn't 85 million euros, 78 million euros was still terrifying!
