Gu Ran, who never drinks and doesn't like to go to bars, also spent these three days hanging out in bars with his teammates and coaches and got drunk.

There are few times in life when one can indulge oneself, and even Gu Ran is no exception.

After all, all his games for Southampton are over, and given his emotional attachment to Southampton, this little indulgence is justified.

On May 15th, Southampton Club officially entered its summer vacation.

The players who should be promoted to the national team will be promoted to the national team, those who should go on vacation will go on vacation, those who should recuperate will recuperate, those who should have fun will have fun, and those who should find the next home will start looking for the next home.

Although Southampton was promoted to the Premier League with impressive results and qualified for the Champions League, smart players know that such a record is all due to Gu Ran. Without Gu Ran, Southampton would not be able to get past the Champions League group stage. Even if they can gain a foothold in the Premier League, they will probably be at the lower level.

Southampton Club also very much wants to retain Gu Ran.

But the problem is... the entire club belongs to Gu Ran, what can Southampton do to retain its big boss? Although Gu Ran is leaving Southampton, the entire Southampton club still belongs to Gu Ran.

The first thing Gu Ran did during the holiday was to help Southampton Club continue to look for Mavericks players around the world.

As long as Southampton can maintain its Premier League status and as long as they can continue to find young players for Southampton, there will be no problem with the club's agents.

After making a new list of Mavericks, Gu Ran handed the list to Old Rice and asked him to execute it.

Mendes called and gave Gu Ran a report on the performance of various top clubs during this period, especially a detailed introduction to the offers from Premier League teams Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool.

As for Chelsea, the offer has reached the third round. It is said that Abramovich himself made the offer at 180 million pounds.

If the deal is completed at this price, it will be the highest transfer price in history, and Gu Ran's value will directly surpass that of Messi and Ronaldo.

Mendes can also get more than 30 million pounds in agent commission, so Mendes also tried very hard to persuade Gu Ran to go to Chelsea.

In addition, Chelsea will not only give Gu Ran the highest treatment in the transfer contract, but also give Gu Ran the highest super core treatment contract in the team's salary structure. Gu Ran's contract will be directly twice that of Lampard, the highest salary in the team, and will increase by 10% every year. There is also a loyalty bonus. As long as Gu Ran can play in Chelsea for 3 full years, he can activate a loyalty bonus worth 100 million euros, and he will receive super high goal assist bonuses after scoring goals and assists, and he can also enjoy Abramovich's exclusive charter service.

In a word, Chelsea tried its best to recruit Gu Ran.

Gu Ran could also feel Chelsea’s enthusiasm and desire, and if he went to Chelsea, it would be great to communicate with Sister NO in the future.

But...

Putting aside other things, although Sister NO is good, you will get aesthetically fatigued if you see her every day.

What's more, Chelsea is offering a lot of money now, but it won't be long before Abramovich will be in trouble.

Chelsea's head coach Ancelotti will also be going to Real Madrid in the new season, and Chelsea will have to face the problem of selecting a new coach. If they find another stubborn and bad coach, Gu Ran will not be able to make a name for himself for three years.

Therefore, Gu Ran clearly told Mendes that he was very moved by Chelsea, but he still wanted to reject Chelsea.

After all, the 30 million pounds that was about to be in hand was gone.

However, Mendes quickly gave the situation of Arsenal's offer.

Arsenal's offer has reached the 9th round. Among all the Premier League giants, Arsenal is the most diligent club in making offers to Gu Ran, updating its offer almost every half a day.

Of course, the extent of Arsenal's price increase is not large. After 9 bids, the current transfer fee, signing fee and other comprehensive costs are only 110 million pounds.

The 110 million pounds includes not only the principal and income of the financial product that Wenger had been working hard for two years to raise, but also loans from seven banks that Wenger and other executives had borrowed by mortgaging their shares in Arsenal Club, funds raised by a crowdfunding organization organized by Arsenal fans, and the cost of Arsenal selling captain Robin van Persie to Manchester United.

In short, in the past two years, Wenger has quietly made a big move all at once.

In order to raise enough money for Gu Ran to transfer to Arsenal, Wenger even wanted to sell blood.

Gu Ran could also feel Arsenal's enthusiasm and desire, and he was very moved, but he still rejected Arsenal.

First of all, Arsenal's tactical system is passing and cutting. This tactic generally emphasizes the whole over the individual, which requires every player to run within the range set by the coach. This is obviously different from Gu Ran's style.

With Gu Ran's current age and ability, he can certainly adapt to this passing and cutting flow, and can play very well.

But in that case, Gu Ran would be restricted to a single-type player, either a defensive midfielder, an attacking midfielder, or a center forward, and it would be difficult for him to bring out the B2B characteristics.

So, Gu Ran also rejected Arsenal.

Mendes quickly made an offer to Manchester City.

Although Manchester City is not yet a wealthy club, with the financial support of a wealthy prince from the Middle East, Manchester City has been selling like hot cakes in the transfer market in the past two years. Almost single-handedly, it has driven the transaction prices in the entire transfer market to a new height.

In the past, tens of millions of pounds were considered a high price for the transfer of players like Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho and Rooney. Even a fake like Jovetic could easily get a transfer fee of 24 million pounds. Moreover, in the 2013 season, Manchester City's forward line was full of talented players and had no shortage of forwards.

Manchester City was willing to pay 24 million pounds for a flop like Jovetic. And for a super hot commodity like Gu Ran, Manchester City directly offered 200 million pounds plus the top salary cap.

Gu Ran felt the financial power of the Middle Eastern tycoons and was very moved, but he still rejected Manchester City.

Although Manchester City has always performed well and later invited Guardiola to be the head coach, which ushered in a small peak era, the problem is that after Guardiola came to Manchester City, his tactical transformation of Manchester City was also 433 passing and controlling flow. The essence of the passing and controlling flow is routine, which is to fix the players in a certain position and at most only give one key player the space to move freely in the midfield and frontcourt. This key player is the one who can absorb the resources of the entire team.

In Barcelona, ​​this person is called Messi.
