"Haha, Mino, I didn't quite understand! What's Mr. Moji up to?" Li Shiguang asked, pretending not to know anything.
After all, the news had only just begun to spread in Italy. Even if he was considered a very influential person in Raiola's eyes, it was impossible for him to only hear about it in the newspapers so quickly.
Raiola was a smart man. Hearing Li Shiguang say this, he realized that Li Shiguang must have his own sources of information. The reason he was not admitting it now was definitely because he did not want to get involved in this matter.
Raiola then assumed that Li Shiguang was unaware of the matter and recounted the news from today's Gazzetta dello Sport verbatim over the phone.
After listening to Raiola's description, Li Shiguang let out a heavy sigh of relief. It was exactly as he remembered from his previous life. Moggi had finally made his mistake. Juventus and even the entire Serie A would be in the most turbulent period. It was time for him to make his move!
“Mino, if this is true, I think Juventus will most likely not be able to play in any European competitions next season,” Li Shiguang said meaningfully.
yes!
This sentence made Raiola's eyes light up.
Once the deal between Moggi and Paileto is confirmed, Juventus will definitely face punishment, and such a major scandal will likely result in a severe penalty. At the very least, Juventus' league title this year will certainly be out of reach!
Raiola was previously wondering how he could persuade Ibrahimovic to join Leeds United if they failed to qualify for the Champions League.
But now it seems that the biggest obstacle has disappeared.
“Yes! Mr. Li, you reminded me! I’ll talk to you later, but if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to bring you some good news in a couple of days, hahahahaha.” Raiola quickly said goodbye to Li Shiguang.
"Wait!" Li Shiguang naturally knew what good news Raiola was talking about, but besides Ibrahimovic, he had another target!
Before Raiola could ask, Li Shiguang continued, "Mino, could you contact Fabio's agent for me again? Besides Zlatan, I'm also planning to bring Fabio to Leeds United!"
Li Shiguang had long had his eye on Cannavaro. After Chiellini left, Pique and Silva's performances had not been entirely satisfactory to Li Shiguang.
In his view, although Cannavaro is already 33 years old, he is still in very good form. Two months later, the Italian national team won the World Cup under his leadership. Such an experienced and inexpensive veteran is the best addition to Leeds United's defense.
But in his memory, it seemed that Cannavaro went to Real Madrid with Capello not long after the World Cup ended this year. That's why Li Shiguang just asked Raiola to help contact Cannavaro's agent; he wanted to strike first and snatch a piece of Florentino Perez's coattails...
As for Raiola, he knew Cannavaro's agent, Federer, so it was just a matter of passing on a message. Therefore, after hearing Li Shiguang's request, he quickly agreed and then hung up the phone to rush to Ibrahimovic's apartment.
Raiola acted quickly. That afternoon, he called to say that Ibrahimovic had agreed to join Leeds United and accepted the personal terms previously offered by Li Shiguang. After the final round of Serie A matches next week, he would formally submit a transfer request to the club. The rest would depend on negotiations between Leeds United and Juventus. Meanwhile, Raiola had also contacted Cannavaro's agent, Federer, who said he would communicate with Cannavaro as soon as possible to see what the player's wishes were.
After returning to his office, Li Shiguang immediately summoned Lina and asked her to draft a €20 million offer document and send it to Juventus.
He remembered that Inter Milan had acquired Ibrahimovic for approximately €24 million in his previous life, but now Ibrahimovic had agreed to proactively request a departure from Juventus. With him putting pressure on the club, Li Shiguang had left some room for negotiation in his offer, since the remaining amount was all real money...

Two days later, Li Shiguang brought Leeds United to London, stepping onto Highbury Stadium for the second time this season.
The importance of this match was self-evident, so neither Li Shiguang nor Wenger held back, and both managers fielded their strongest players in the starting lineup.
Today, Li Shiguang once again deployed Leeds United's most familiar 4-2-3-1 formation. Considering that a draw in this match would secure a Champions League spot, there were no changes to the defensive line. However, to strengthen the defensive end, Li Shiguang used the combination of Mascherano and Javi Garcia in the double pivot position. The task of controlling the team's rhythm was entrusted to veteran Rivaldo, who was instructed to move further into midfield and not roam around Arsenal's penalty area. Bale and Ribery provided protection and space for him on the flanks.
In the striker position, Falcao is undoubtedly the first choice. He and Van Nistelrooy are currently tied for second place in the top scorer list with 21 goals each. However, Van Nistelrooy has been unable to play recently due to injury, so if he scores in this round, he will win the Premier League Silver Boot this season.
As for the Golden Boot, it belongs to Thierry Henry, the King of Highbury, who stands opposite Falcao. He has already scored 25 goals this season, leading the entire Premier League!
On the other hand, Wenger used the same lineup that won the previous game for Arsenal, only changing the positions of Pires and Hleb. Hleb moved to the right winger position, while Pires played more like a shadow striker.
