Gu Ran didn't want to play routine football, nor did he want his resources to be sucked away by others. Gu Ran also didn't think that Manchester City could be called a wealthy club, so Gu Ran directly rejected Manchester City's transfer offer.

Mendes also introduced Manchester United's offer to Gu Ran.

Among all the Premier League clubs, Manchester United actually has the greatest hope of signing Gu Ran.

After all, Manchester United once had a Chinese star - Dong Fangzhuo, and Manchester United's Gu Ran has a lot of family cards to play.

Ferguson is also the most prestigious coach among all the coaches in the Premier League.

He may not be the most capable one, because ability is purely subjective, but Ferguson is definitely the most prestigious coach currently in existence.

Ferguson himself said directly in an interview with the media that if he could not sign Gu Ran in the summer transfer window of 2012, he would retire as the head coach of Manchester United.

This statement is not only an expression of his true heart, his passion and desire for Gu Ran, but also a disguised way of putting pressure on the vampire Jewish family behind Manchester United.

Manchester United's financial revenue and expenditure are very normal. As one of the top Premier League clubs, Manchester United has countless fans and potential fans around the world, with extremely high commercial profits and a full schedule of commercial activities. In addition to the bonuses from previous competitions, live broadcast fees, etc., it stands to reason that Manchester United would not have to frown if they wanted to spend 100 million or 200 million to buy Gu Ran.

But the problem is... Manchester United doesn’t even have the money to maintain and update the youth training facilities. Oh, let alone the youth training facilities, even the training facilities for the first-line players have not been updated for almost 10 years.

It is hard to imagine that this is a world-class club with top players and top fans.

Where did all the money go? It was all sucked away by the Jewish vampire Glazer family who deserve to be hanged on street lamps.

This time, in response to Gu Ran's offer, Ferguson mustered the courage to confront the Glazer family in order to gain more financial initiative.

but……

If they could really give money, they wouldn't be called Jewish vampires.

Despite Sir Alex Ferguson's best efforts, Manchester United's transfer offer to Gu Ran was only 75 million pounds - you have to know that Manchester United's first round offer was already 72 million pounds, but after three rounds, it only increased to 75 million pounds.

And this is already a big loss for the Glazer family.

Ferguson was extremely disappointed with the Glazer family, but he still held a glimmer of hope for Gu Ran, hoping that Gu Ran could endure the exploitation of the Glazer family and join the Theatre of Dreams for his dream.

Gu Ran felt Sir Ferguson's passion and desire, and was very moved, and then rejected Manchester United.

Ferguson's retirement is a foregone conclusion.

Manchester United will gradually enter the post-Ferguson era.

Finally, Mendes introduced Liverpool's offer to Gu Ran.

Liverpool's offer only lasted one round, but it was full of sincerity.

However, many additional terms were carefully included in this total quotation.

First, Gu Ran's salary at Liverpool will be the team's upper limit, reaching 350,000 pounds per week, and he will have extremely high goal bonuses and assist bonuses. If Gu Ran wins an award such as the Golden Boot at Liverpool, the club will also reward Gu Ran with an additional extremely high bonus.

Second, when Gu Ran helps Liverpool win the Premier League championship, Gu Ran will receive an additional reward equivalent to 10% of the total bonus. When Gu Ran helps Liverpool win the second, third, or fourth championship in a single season, the total bonus will be increased by 10% each time until it is capped at 50%.

Third, when Gu Ran has played for Liverpool for 5 years, Liverpool will give Gu Ran 2% of the Liverpool Club's shares as a loyalty bonus. According to the current estimated value of Liverpool Club of 3 billion pounds, Gu Ran will receive shares worth approximately 60 million pounds.

Don't underestimate the 60 million pounds. Although transfer fees are now often hundreds of millions, this transfer fund does not fall into Gu Ran's hands. The bulk of it goes to the original club, that is, Southampton Club, and a tiny part is given to the middleman agent as commission. Gu Ran can only get a signing fee of no more than a few million pounds.

Moreover, the loyalty bonus clauses given by the club are generally paid in cash, and few clubs will treat stars as "partners" and directly reward them with club equity.

Of course, this kind of situation does happen, but it is usually given to those super-important face-type stars who are extremely important to the club, such as AC Milan's Maldini, who has been playing for Milan since he was a child and has been a loyal player for 24 years.

When recruiting people, they prepare 2% of the shares as a loyalty bonus. This is unique in the entire football world.

Only a crazy woman like Linda Pizzulli, who has Italian mafia blood, could offer such crazy conditions.

This alone is something that no other club can do.

The fourth and most important point is that Liverpool will rebuild the team around Gu Ran, so the requirements for the first season are not high. As long as they can maintain the top four in the Premier League and play in the Champions League, it will be fine. In order to rebuild the team around Gu Ran, Liverpool not only has to recruit Gu Ran, but also Mourinho, the head coach whom Gu Ran admires, and also seek Gu Ran's opinions and recruit teammates who can cooperate with Gu Ran.

This one is what impressed Gu Ran the most.

Linda knew very well that as the big boss of Southampton, Gu Ran was not short of money at all.

Money, when it exceeds a certain amount, is no longer money, but just a long string of numbers. After all, the things that can be bought with money in this world are limited, but the things that cannot be bought with money in this world are infinite.

Linda knew that what Gu Ran wanted was a wealthy team that could truly revolve around him.

If the team truly focuses on Gu Ran, then the head coach and players must be chosen according to Gu Ran's preferences.

At the end of Article 4, the Liverpool Club stated: Real Madrid coach Mourinho has already signed a letter of intent to coach, and as long as Gu Ran agrees to transfer to Liverpool, coach Mourinho will definitely join Gu Ran in Liverpool.

After seeing these four additional clauses, Liverpool's offer of 102 million pounds is not the highest offer, but it is indeed the most sincere offer.

After all, in addition to poaching Gu Ran, Liverpool also wants to spend another sum of money to poach Mourinho, and another large sum of money to poach Gu Ran's teammates.

The entire operation will basically cost Liverpool around 200 million pounds.

Gu Ran felt Liverpool's sincerity and desire, and was deeply moved... (End of this chapter)
