[Player Evaluation]: A natural-born marksman, he has already reached his peak level under the influence of the host's skills (lasting for three seasons)! Unfortunately, his peak period in his career is not long. If he were to leave the influence of the host, he would very likely fall from grace at an extremely fast pace.

Li Shiguang had already sat back down on the sofa, and Torres' personal panel was displayed in front of him.

When Liverpool and Manchester City were the only two competing for Torres, Li Shiguang hadn't seriously considered whether or not to sell him.

The main reason was that he felt the price Liverpool offered was unlikely to meet his expectations.

My relationship with Lao Chen is good, but...

But when it comes to doing business, Li Shiguang is still clear-headed!

As for Manchester City...

Li Shiguang believed they could afford a price that satisfied him, but Torres himself... probably wouldn't want to go, after all, the current Manchester City is not the Manchester City that won four consecutive championships under Guardiola more than ten years ago!

To be honest.

Since winning the Champions League, Li Shiguang has indeed become complacent, and for a while he hasn't checked the players' individual panels.

You wouldn't know unless you saw it.

I was shocked when I saw it.

Back in March, Torres' overall rating was A+, but now it's reached S-level!

But the reviews after maxing it out are really weird.

His peak only lasted three seasons?

As far as I can remember, Torres transferred from Liverpool to Chelsea in 2011. Although he only scored one goal in the first half of the year, after a summer break, the Spaniard performed quite well in the 2011-2012 season.

Li Shiguang believes that Torres's decline in form truly began at the end of 2012.

But now the system's description has a reason.

If he leaves Leeds United, he is very likely to decline at an extremely rapid pace.

In other words, if he leaves Leeds United, he might not even reach his peak for three years.

In a short time.

The images of Howard, Tevez, and Deisler flashed through Li Shiguang's mind.

Then he looked at Abramovich, who was looking at him expectantly.

Li Shiguang didn't think for long before a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips. He said meaningfully, "Roman...Fernando's value isn't low..."

“Money is not a problem,” Abramovich chuckled. “This summer, my plan is to invest at least 100 million euros.”

“However, besides you, Liverpool and Manchester City have already made offers to us, and their offers are not low.”

Abramovich frowned.

He doesn't care about Liverpool.

But Manchester City.

It is indeed a formidable competitor.

Since Florentino Pérez took over, Chelsea have been eyeing Real Madrid striker Robinho, a Brazilian.

The conversation was going well, and even the player himself was close to nodding in agreement.

However, starting in mid-last month, those Arabs suddenly intervened, causing all of Chelsea's previous efforts to go to waste. Real Madrid and Robinho are now in a phase of reconsidering their options.

For this matter.

Abramovich even gave Chelsea's CEO, Peter Kenyon, a thorough dressing-down.

Now I've heard from Li Shiguang that Manchester City has also made an offer to Leeds United for Torres.

Abramovich was naturally unhappy.

After a moment's thought, Abramovich spoke up: "Li...would you mind disclosing their offer?"

Li Shiguang gently shook his head: "Roman, you have to understand me. Even when it's just the four of us, I can't say that number... It's basic professional ethics."

God the hell can't say it!

Abramovich isn't stupid.

He knew what Li Shiguang's purpose was in saying that; he simply wanted to raise the price.

However, Abramovich doesn't care about competition.

Money is just a string of numbers to him.

What he wanted was that Big Ears Cup!

So after a brief pause, Abramovich spoke.

"Li... Actually, we both know that even if Morse has new investments, his offer will definitely not be as high as mine! As for Manchester City, they are just a nouveau riche who have just injected a lot of money. Their squad is only suitable for retirement. Young players like Torres are unlikely to go there."

"Ron, but there's one issue you can't ignore: Liverpool have the Champions League to play next season, and that competition can be very damaging to the players themselves."

“Of course I know that!” Abramovich raised an eyebrow. “Li, so I have no intention of bargaining with you.”

"Torres, 50 million euros."

"Mascherano, 15 million euros plus Ivanovic."

To be honest...

Abramovich's offer is quite sincere.

Li Shiguang's expected value for Torres is €50-60 million, while for Mascherano it is €20-25 million.
