Kaka's words left Li Shiguang completely bewildered.
There are other signings besides you.
Isn't this a normal thing?
As the two stared at each other, Kaka realized how offensive his words had been, blushed, and explained to Li Shiguang, "I'm sorry, Li Shiguang. In my memory, Leeds United was on the verge of bankruptcy just two years ago, and Gaetalo told me that you paid over 40 million euros for my transfer. I thought Leeds United..."
Kaka was too embarrassed to continue, but his meaning was quite clear.
Kaka thought that Leeds United had no money left to make other signings after buying him.
"Hahaha, Kaka, you underestimate me and Leeds United too much."
Not only did Li Shiguang laugh, but Allen, who was sitting next to him chatting with the two agents, also couldn't help but laugh.
After the laughter subsided.
Li Shiguang looked at Kaka very seriously and said, "Don't worry, kid, Leeds United isn't AC Milan! Besides you, I've already finalized another major signing this transfer window, and I don't rule out the possibility of further strengthening the team!"
"A major signing?"
“Of course.” Li Shiguang raised an eyebrow. “Leeds United is no longer the club teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. In fact, we paid off all our debts last year! Leeds United’s current financial situation is arguably healthier than any other club in Serie A! Kaka, I can’t tell you the name of the other signing right now, but I can tell you one thing: buying you and him cost me close to 100 million euros!”
"Hiss~~~~" As soon as Li Shiguang finished speaking, Kaka subconsciously gasped.
He knows his net worth is 45 million euros.
Leeds United spent nearly £100 million to buy us!?
Does that mean the other signing is worth almost 10 million euros more than me?!
Kaka instantly launched into a brainstorming session.
Names flashed through his mind, and the faces of various world-class superstars began to play out before his eyes like a slideshow.
When Li Shiguang saw Kaka's expression, he knew that Kaka had been frightened by his words.
Keep in mind that this is only 2007, and player prices are not as outrageous as they would be a few years later. With Kaka's price tag of 45 million euros, he is very likely to become the most expensive player in this summer transfer window!
He also knew that Kaka was very curious about who the other major signing he mentioned was.
However, Li Shiguang really couldn't tell him right now.
It's not for any other reason.
Li Shiguang was mainly afraid that if he told the other person it was Adriano, Kaka would think he'd lost his mind...
"So, do you still have any questions about this?" Li Shiguang interrupted Kaka's speculation by taking a sip of water.
"Uh...no, Mr. Li." Kaka snapped out of his thoughts and nodded seriously.
Li Shiguang was very patient with Kaka. Seeing that Kaka had no more questions about this point, he asked one more question: "Are there any other questions?"
Kaka thought for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then said another request, albeit somewhat embarrassed: "Everything else is a minor issue. Gaetaro has already told me about my salary, and you won't treat me unfairly. Also, my brother Degan is at AC Milan, and if possible, I would like to ask you to bring him to Leeds United as well."
This made Li Shiguang frown.
He knew Degan; unlike Kaká, Degan played as a center-back.
To be honest, as Kaká's younger brother, he doesn't have half the talent he has in football.
Galliani had previously spent 500,000 euros to bring Degan from São Paulo to Milanello in order to give Kaká some face, but at that time AC Milan's defense was filled with world-class center-backs such as Nesta, Stam, and Kaladze.
They want to take the position from them.
This was undoubtedly impossible for Deegan.
Galliani later decided to loan him to Rimini in Serie B, and he will return to AC Milan next season after his contract expires.
It's obvious.
Degan's level is definitely not within Li Shiguang's consideration. When it comes to building the team's lineup, no one can change his mind, not even Kaka, whom he values highly.
But he didn't want to discourage Kaka, who was looking at him with hope in his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, Li Shiguang suddenly turned to Allen and asked, "Allen, how is Real Sociedad's performance this season?"
Allen, who had been half-focused on his boss, turned around without thinking and said, "Boss, they've been demoted."
Hey!
That's perfect!
This problem is easily solved!
Li Shiguang's face immediately lit up with a smile.
All Kaka wanted was for his younger brother to have a ball to play and earn some money.
It's not unreasonable to loan him to Real Sociedad, a team in which Li Shiguang owns shares and which has been relegated, right? But whether Milger uses him or not is not something Li Shiguang can decide.
As for buying Deegan and paying him a small salary, that doesn't matter. Anyway, his brother can earn it back for him after he goes to Leeds United!
However, Li Shiguang decided that he still had to express his attitude to Kaka.
"Kaka, I know your brother. Our scouts even gave me a scouting report on him! But I have to tell you honestly, with his current ability, it's impossible for him to make the Leeds United squad! And with his age, it's impossible for him to play in the youth team."
