Florentino simply couldn't wait any longer.
The day after I finished talking with Li Shiguang.
Real Madrid's general manager, Jorge Valdano, who rose to power alongside Florentino Pérez, arrived at the Thorpe Arch with his team.
Less than half an hour.
After their legal teams reviewed the contract details, Allen and Valdano immediately signed the contract.
Real Madrid acquired Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Xabi Alonso from Leeds United for €100 million plus conditions such as Morata.
Prior to this.
With Li Shiguang's consent, Florentino has already arranged for Valdano to negotiate personal terms with the two players.
This means that...
Once Allen and Valdano signed the papers, the deal was complete!
The contract was signed in the morning.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
First, both Real Madrid's official website and Leeds United's official website were updated simultaneously.
Then, almost simultaneously, Marca, AS, and the Yorkshire Post announced the deal between the two clubs.
Although the summer transfer window has already opened.
There are also all sorts of rumors flying around in the transfer market, and fans and media have all sorts of speculations about the big transfers that may occur in this summer transfer window.
In people's eyes.
A two-month transfer window.
Generally, the transfer information announced earlier is just minor stuff, a celebration for mid-to-lower-tier clubs in major leagues.
But what no one expected was that today was only the second day of the transfer window.
To fire the first shot.
It's Real Madrid, who have just experienced internal turmoil, and Leeds United, the newly crowned European treble winners!
Furthermore, the deal between the two clubs is quite eye-catching.
That's a whopping 100 million euros!
According to the information released on the official websites of the two clubs.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's transfer fee to Real Madrid was €65 million, while Xabi Alonso's was €40 million. However, Real Madrid only paid €100 million, using a young player from Castilla as payment for €5 million in cash!
These two values are enough to shock Europe and the world!
Alonso's €40 million price tag is already quite impressive, considering he plays as a defensive midfielder.
This era.
Very few midfielders or defenders can command a market value of 40 million euros!
However, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's €65 million price tag is a bit frightening. If nothing unexpected happens, the Swede is very likely to become the summer's most expensive signing on the second day of the transfer window!
Because Ibrahimovic's transfer fee has surpassed Figo's 60 million euros, making him the second most expensive player in football history, second only to Zidane's 77.5 million euros!
The moment they saw the news report, those familiar with Leeds United exclaimed: Europe's biggest black market club, which had been silent for half a year, is open for business again!
at the same time.
Some people have raised questions.
Almost nobody knows who Morata is in this deal, and nobody cares.
However, Ibrahimovic was Leeds United's second-highest scorer last season, while Alonso was the absolute mainstay and core of Leeds United's midfield.
They were actually sold off by Li Shiguang.
This prompted some extreme fans to jump out and criticize Li Shiguang on social media, accusing him of being greedy for money and disregarding the team's performance next season!
[Outrageous! Ibrahimovic is the team's second-highest scorer, and Alonso is Modric's best partner. How could Lee sell them both? Has he lost his mind?]
[Leeds United are doomed next season. They just won three titles and then sold their key player. Next, Leeds will probably sell the club!]
[I heard Manchester City and Real Madrid are still making offers for Kaká. Do you think Li might sell Kaká too?]
This is outrageous! They only sold the fringe Sneijder in the winter transfer window. I thought Lee had changed his ways and stopped being a money-grubbing dealer! Turns out he's still the same old money-grubbing guy!
[If Leeds United doesn't retain its best-fit squad and only focuses on selling star players for profit, it will never become a truly established powerhouse! This is my statement, and I don't accept any arguments against it!]
The news broke in less than two hours.
Leeds United's official website and social media are filled with various attacks on Leeds United and Lee Shih-shih.
But Leeds United remained silent, with no one standing up to refute the attacks. Even Norman Hunt, a Leeds United legend who used to frequently support Lee Shih-shih, remained quiet and did not make any comments on social media.
certainly.
It wasn't that Norman Hunt didn't want to.
Not long after the news broke, he called Allen to ask about the details. Allen only replied with one sentence: "This is just the beginning. There's more exciting news to come!"
But Allen also reassured Norman Hunter that he didn't need to worry.
Although Leeds United are selling players, they haven't stopped buying players either.
And Leeds United will announce all of their new signings for this summer transfer window no later than before the preseason training camp on July 15.
One of the new signings is among them.
This will shut up everyone who criticizes Leeds United!
····
It was a little after 8 p.m.
A Mercedes is speeding along the highway from Leeds to Manchester; it belongs to Rivaldo.
Simeone has returned to Argentina.
Li Shiguang was a little disappointed that he couldn't borrow Simone's wife's grocery shopping car today.
In comparison, Rivaldo's car was still somewhat conspicuous.
If someone with ulterior motives notices this car at the entrance of the Carrington base, then Li Shiguang's hastily decided plan will likely be greatly compromised.
