Huh? The oil tycoons actually want to get involved too?

After Allen said that...

Li Shiguang suddenly became interested, because this was somewhat different from what he had expected!

In a past life.

The Abu Dhabi consortium actually acquired Manchester City in August 2008.

After the acquisition was completed, the Arab owners didn't have much time to spend money in the transfer market, so in the end, they only hurt another Premier League giant, Chelsea.

Not only did they snatch Real Madrid striker Robinho from Abramovich, but they also brought in Ben Haim and Wright-Phillips from Chelsea.

In fact, their pursuit of Kaka began as early as 2009.

At the time, the world transfer record was set by Zidane at 77.5 million euros.

According to English media reports, Manchester City's asking price for Kaká is between 100 million and 150 million euros. There are even reports that Manchester City offered Kaká an incredible weekly wage of 500,000 euros.

Although after the failed attempt to sign Kaká, an unnamed friend of Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour revealed that these figures were inaccurate, and that Manchester City's actual offer for Kaká was only €50 million.

But this was just talk after the failed attempt to sign him, and nobody believed it. Otherwise, Real Madrid wouldn't have spent 65 million euros to bring in the Brazilian.

But the situation is different now than before Li Shiguang was reborn.

With Li Shiguang's help, the speed was increased.

The Abu Dhabi consortium's acquisition of Manchester City has been brought forward to mid-June.

This means they have ample time to plan for the summer transfer window.

At the very beginning.

Li Shiguang believed that Manchester City's first target player should be Kaká!

Unexpectedly, they have now joined the competition for Torres.

Now.

Leeds United have received as many as six offers for Torres.

Among them, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Borussia Dortmund, which appointed new manager Jürgen Klopp a few months ago and introduced a new operations team, are the teams that Li Shiguang is paying close attention to.

Among them, the three Premier League powerhouses are both wealthy and powerful, naturally attracting attention.

As for why Dortmund attracted Li Shiguang's attention, it was because, in his view, Dortmund's involvement in the competition for Torres was somewhat of an intrusion.

Although this founding club of the former G14 may be revived in a few years, for now, they are struggling to make ends meet!

and.

Based on Li Shiguang's understanding of Klopp, he has been very frugal in leading Dortmund's resurgence over the past few years!

He spent seven years in Dortmund.

Klopp only spent 2,500 euros to buy Armenian star Mkhitaryan from Shakhtar Donetsk in the 2013-2014 season, after Dortmund's finances had improved significantly.

But it's only 2008!

Borussia Dortmund is still heavily in debt!

Klopp actually dared to offer 30 million euros to buy Torres?

Li Shiguang felt there must be some hidden meaning in this.

To be honest, I certainly wouldn't accept Dortmund's €30 million offer.

But when Li Shiguang saw their offer, he had already decided that he had to talk to Klopp.

Let's find out what the new Dortmund coach really thinks.

on the other hand.

Li Shiguang also had his eye on the talented players in Borussia Dortmund's youth academy.

If I can reach some consensus with Klopp, I might even be able to make some money from Dortmund's youth academy!

····

After thinking for a while.

Li Shiguang looked at Allen: "Allen, don't wait until tomorrow. Go and make an appointment with Marina later. Tell her that many clubs have made offers for Fernando, and I may make a decision in the next couple of days. Have her boss call me as soon as possible to talk about Javier, Fernando, and Ivanovic."

"Then I rejected Dortmund's offer because the price was too low... The email ended with a note that if they were really interested in Fernando, they could have their coach Klopp call me."

"As for Morse, I'll call him myself."

“Okay.” Allen quickly agreed, then continued, “Boss, there’s one more thing. Florentino called me a few days ago. He wanted to ask when you’re free?”

"Is this old man getting impatient?"

"Boss, he's been back in power for almost two months now, and there's still no news about signing any new players. If I were him, I'd be anxious too." It was rare for Rivaldo to crack a joke.

"Pfft..."

These words made the other three people in the office laugh at the same time.

Ron almost spat out the coffee he had just drunk.

“It’s not like there’s absolutely no news.” After laughing, Allen spoke up, “Boss, as you instructed before your vacation, I told Perez when he called that Real Madrid could do some preliminary publicity. In the past week, AS and Marca have been skirting the line.”

"Alright, I'll give him a call later. Speaking of which... now that we've won the treble, it's time to renegotiate the prices for Zlatan and Xavi."

····

After the three left, Li Shiguang returned to his desk, sorted out his thoughts, took out his phone, found Florentino's number, and dialed it.

After about five seconds, the call connected, and Florentino's slightly aggrieved voice came through the phone.
