Gu Ran and Liverpool Club officially entered the second round of closed talks!

If nothing unexpected happens, this basically determines Gu Ran's future direction!

That is Liverpool, which has red genes! Liverpool, a veteran club, is a working-class team. As a loyal admirer of the great man, Bill Shankly gave Liverpool the spirit and will of the Red Army. Liverpool's traditional style of play is also pragmatic, which is very consistent with Gu Ran's philosophy.

In addition, Liverpool is very sincere. Although the transfer fee they offer is not the highest, the total investment in Gu Ran's transfer is definitely the highest.

And to be honest, Linda is really good.

There is no reason for Gu Ran not to prioritize Liverpool.

After the news that Gu Ran was willing to enter the second round of negotiations reached Liverpool, the top management of the Liverpool club were all excited.

Because of the confidentiality agreement, the top executives can only keep themselves happy and dare not let their competitors know.

Three days later, a new draft agreement was released.

The general content of the agreement is to discuss Gu Ran's specific salary and benefits after transferring to Liverpool, and then it is required that Mourinho's transfer contract must be formally finalized first, and then at least three Southampton players on Gu Ran's list must be purchased.

The recommended list includes: Van Dijk, Lallana, Salah, Mane, Luke Shaw and Rudiger.

Of course, Gu Ran also wants Mikel or Manchester City's Yaya Toure and Milner. As for Sturridge and Henderson, they are already Liverpool players, so there is no need to put them on the list.

Gu Ran’s requirements were not high. He just wanted to recruit three players from the recommended list.

Players like Van Dijk are still in their prime, so the transfer price will not be sky-high.

This can actually be considered a benefit that Gu Ran gives to Liverpool.

The negotiations for the second round of letters of intent were conducted secretly and pleasantly, and both parties were very happy.

A week later, the second round of letters of intent were officially finalized after all the major details were added, and Gu Ran signed his name on the letter of intent.

This letter of intent confirmed Gu Ran's absolute core position in Liverpool. Gu Ran's weekly salary will reach an unprecedented 350,000 pounds! You know, Liverpool's last season's hero striker Suarez activated the additional clause because of his good performance, and his weekly salary just increased from 80,000 to 120,000! And Gu Ran's weekly salary is directly 350,000! After the letter of intent was signed, Gu Ran turned on the vacation mode and returned to China to relax.

The Liverpool club is extremely busy, with all the top executives working overtime.

The first thing the Liverpool club had to solve was the salary cap issue. Linda convened a high-level meeting of the club and approved the latest salary structure to free up the salary cap for the arrival of Gu Ran and Mourinho.

Immediately afterwards, Liverpool sent Edwards to Madrid to find Mourinho with Gu Ran's secret letter of intent and formally entered into transfer negotiations with Mourinho.

So, after more than ten days of negotiations and after listing nearly fifty details, Mourinho finally signed his name on Liverpool's coaching contract!

The summer transfer window opens on July 1st! Liverpool first announced the arrival of former Real Madrid coach Mourinho! Mourinho becomes Liverpool's new head coach! The entire football world is shocked! Liverpool fans are stunned.

They clearly wanted Gu Ran, so why did the club spend so much money to hire Mourinho? The spokesman of the fan organization expressed great anger in an interview with the media, saying that if the club could not afford to hire Gu Ran, they should stop messing around.

Mourinho also held a press conference as soon as the news of his appointment as Liverpool head coach spread.

Mourinho said that coaching Liverpool has always been his dream, and today, this dream has finally come true.

Mourinho also said that the first thing he would do after coaching Liverpool was to rebuild this glorious and powerful club, with the goal of winning the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup and... the supreme Champions League this year.

In order to achieve the goal of winning four championships, he will start to rebuild the Liverpool team. There will be fresh blood injected into the Liverpool team, so stay tuned.

Mourinho's press conference was like a bombshell, and fans were deeply worried about Mourinho's wild words.

God, you're going to win four consecutive championships right away. Mourinho, do you think you have Gu Ran? Then, Liverpool FC held a press conference to announce that Henderson and Sturridge's loan had ended and they returned to Liverpool. They also solemnly announced that Liverpool FC had signed Southampton players - Van Dijk, Chamberlain and Lallana! As soon as this news came out, the entire football world was shocked! Everyone knows that although Van Dijk is still very young, he worked perfectly with Gu Ran in the last season, and Chamberlain and Lallana are Gu Ran's veteran partners!

Liverpool recalled Henderson and Sturridge, and also brought in Van Dijk, Chamberlain and Lallana. This was just like preparing for Gu Ran's arrival! Suddenly, the news that Gu Ran would join Liverpool spread! Liverpool fans were surprised and happy. They finally understood why Mourinho dared to say so "arrogantly" that he would win the quadruple crown in the new season! Liverpool fans were all looking forward to Gu Ran's official announcement! On July 15, Gu Ran returned from a vacation in China and began to buy a property in Liverpool.

On July 20, a real estate agency broke the news to the media that Gu Ran bought a seaside villa in Liverpool from their agency for 40 million pounds. The biggest feature of this villa is that there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the master bedroom, and the backyard of the villa can also be converted into a small stadium.

Of course, out of professional ethics, the real estate agency did not disclose the specific location of the villa.

Liverpool fans were even more excited after hearing the news! If Gu Ran didn't want to join Liverpool, there was no need to buy a property in Liverpool! Fans of other clubs were all heartbroken after hearing the news!

Especially the Southampton fans. They knew that Gu Ran would leave eventually, but when the day of separation really came, they still couldn't accept it emotionally.

Of course, Southampton Club can accept it.

First of all, the club's top management has no right to interfere with the boss's stay or departure. Another more important point is that Gu Ran's transfer brought Southampton a transfer result of 100 million pounds, which is the largest transfer deal in Southampton's history! Through this deal, Southampton's financial situation will not be a problem for ten or eight years, and Southampton will also have enough financial resources to buy new Mavericks players all over the world.

Southampton Football Club has a very clear positioning of itself - we are not a wealthy club, and we have no intention of becoming a wealthy club, we just want to run a black shop.

On July 25, after several rounds of detailed negotiations, Gu Ran, accompanied by his agent Mendes, drove to the headquarters of Liverpool Club!
