"Oh? So soon? When will it be announced?" Li Shiguang seemed a little surprised upon hearing this news.
After all, it's only April now, and the transfer window usually doesn't open until around July.
Of course, if the two clubs have already reached an agreement and there are no issues with the players, announcing a player's transfer ahead of time is not out of the question. Especially for publicly listed clubs, news of the signing of a world-class player can boost their stock price!
“It won’t be that fast, Mr. Li.” Raiola smiled and shook his head, saying, “Henry’s personal terms have been basically agreed upon, but the two clubs are still negotiating the specific transfer fee.”
"Tch!" Li Shiguang sneered. "Wenger is stingy too! Henry only has one year left on his contract, what kind of exorbitant price can he possibly ask for? Be careful he doesn't end up with nothing!"
From the agent's perspective, Raiola also agreed with Li Shiguang's point of view. However, since Li Shiguang was commenting on Wenger, he just smiled and remained silent.
After learning about the progress of Henry's transfer to Barcelona, Li Shiguang joked with Raiola again: "You didn't come all the way to Leeds just for this, did you? What, are you eyeing one of my youth academy players now?"
Since establishing a connection with Li Shiguang, 80% of the players in Leeds United's youth academy have become associated with him. Moreover, he is indeed responsible towards his players. Through word of mouth, Raiola's life is getting better and better.
But this time, he really wasn't there for the young players in Leeds United's youth academy.
So after Li Shiguang finished speaking, Raiola waved his hands repeatedly: "Mr. Li, you misunderstood. I was planning to go to Brazil. It just so happens that the matter Mr. Allen mentioned has made some progress, so I thought I might as well come and talk to you in person. After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Brazil?
After mentally reviewing Raiola's players and noticing that there seemed to be few Brazilians, Li Shiguang's eyes suddenly lit up. Based on his understanding of Raiola, he knew that the fat man wouldn't have gone so far for no reason if there was no benefit involved.
So he said half-jokingly, "Mino, that's not very fair of you! You took a fancy to some young genius and didn't even tell me before you went and signed him?"
Seeing that Li Shiguang had misunderstood him again, Raiola gave a wry smile and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Mr. Li, you've misunderstood again. My trip to Brazil this time wasn't because I had my eye on any young genius, but to help a former genius who's practically ruined!"
Was he a genius the day before yesterday? Or was he practically crippled?
Li Shiguang immediately became interested in Raiola's statement and gestured for him to continue.
Raiola didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to describing what had happened to him recently: "Mr. Li, do you know Gilmar Rinaldi?"
Li Shiguang shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of this name.
"He's a very good friend of mine, and also an agent. Before I met you, he was the friend who helped my career the most. Some time ago, he suddenly contacted me and said that because he was about to start working for the Brazilian Football Confederation, he wanted to transfer the agency contract of one of his players to me. You definitely know this player."
"who?"
"Adriano, the Brazilian striker for Inter Milan!"
Holy crap! This fatso! He's got such good luck?!
Even a fallen emperor is still the emperor of Inter Milan!
Upon hearing this name, Li Shiguang, who had been fiddling with his phone with his head down and casually listening to the gossip, immediately raised his head and stared wide-eyed at Raiola.
That's Adriano!
Although I'm not a fan of his, from Li Shiguang's perspective, he is indeed a player whose loss could make all fans feel heartbroken.
Sadly, his father's passing caused Adriano, who was on the verge of reaching the peak of his career through hard work and talent, to vanish like a shooting star from the Italian sky. The grief over his father's death led to alcoholism and depression, destroying this Brazilian striker whose talent was absolutely no less than Ronaldo's!
Under Raiola's strange gaze.
Li Guangshi jumped up from the sofa and rushed to his computer, where he found Adriano's photos.
As his eyes lingered on the photograph, Adriano's current basic attributes also came into view.
Adriano Lete Ribeiro
Age: 25
[Offensive Threat]: 94
[Defensive Strength]: 23
[Body Balance]: 94
[Long-range transmission accuracy]: 68

In him, you can see violent aesthetics and football skills complementing each other! Currently, due to off-field factors and depression, his form has been greatly affected. If he does not receive effective treatment in time, he will become one of the biggest regrets in world football.
[Overall Assessment]: A+ (Due to external factors and mild depression, it was downgraded to C-)
After reviewing Adriano's attributes, Li Shiguang turned off the system, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to think.
really!
Adriano has reached his most difficult moment. Although he can't quite remember exactly when he left Europe, based on Raiola's description, it should be around this summer.
Can I steal it from them?
Li Shiguang habitually touched his chin gently with his right hand.
The injury recovery card rewarded from the last mission was originally intended for Kaka, who would suffer a serious injury in his memory, but now it is almost certain that Kaka will leave AC Milan this summer.
Whether he will still have the severe injuries he remembers after changing environments is uncertain.
But Adriano is in a real situation where he can definitely use the recovery card!
If we could get him, Li Shiguang couldn't even imagine how wonderful the Leeds United's attacking line would look!
Ibrahimovic, Torres, Adriano, Reus, Podolski, and Dzeko and Vardy, who are on loan.
He didn't know if they could dominate European football, but in the Premier League, they could absolutely roam freely...
