"Looks like this old guy can't hold back any longer." A wicked smile appeared on Li Shiguang's lips as he answered the phone.
"Good evening, Mr. Bates," Li Shiguang greeted him in a relaxed tone.
Hearing Li Shiguang's flippant tone, Bates resisted the urge to throw his phone and said, "Congratulations, Li, Leeds United has achieved a good result."
Li Shiguang responded, "Thank you, Mr. Bates. I didn't expect you to take the time out of your busy schedule to pay attention to us. May I ask what brings you here?"
Seeing that Li Shiguang was being so direct, Bates stopped being polite and said, "Yes, I'd like to talk to you again about Howard's transfer."
Hehe, old man, you've really developed a pouty mouth!
Just after the Leeds United match ended, Li Shiguang also received a phone call. He had already learned that West Bromwich Albion had been thrashed by Liverpool, and Bates was now under tremendous pressure.
I thought he wouldn't contact me until tomorrow at the earliest, but I didn't expect that this old fox could be so impatient, and he called me right now.
Since you've finally given up, don't blame me for being ruthless.
So Li Shiguang slowed down his speech and said slowly, "Regarding this issue, Mr. Bates, I have already made it very clear in the media that Howard is not for sale at Leeds United unless you trigger his release clause."
“This is robbery! Lee, you only spent 3 million to take Howard from Manchester United, and now you want to sell him for 15 million? I can’t accept that price. 13 million is the highest price I can offer!” Bates roared in response.
Bates sounded a bit annoyed.
Li Shiguang comfortably crossed his legs and continued to fuel Bates' anger: "Mr. Bates, did you choose to ignore Howard's performance on the field? In fact, before I even got through to you, my assistant had already informed me that other Premier League clubs were contacting him. You should know that starting tomorrow, Howard will become a hot commodity in the winter transfer window."
Hearing that Li Shiguang still refused to budge, Bates' face turned bright red, and he remained silent for a long time. From his expression, it was clear that he was struggling fiercely.
After a brief silence, Bates' cold voice came through Li Shiguang's phone: "I'll have someone send the formal offer to Leeds United tomorrow. Li, I hope Leeds United can maintain their current performance after losing Howard. Also, I have a gift for you; I hope you like it!"
He hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
What other gift does this old man want to give me?
Could it be...?
Li Shiguang looked at the phone that had just ended, shook his head, and decided not to think about it anymore.
After all, once this deal is done, the football black market will officially open for business!
