Chapter 141: Negotiations Begin

At around 3:00 p.m., Woodward came to the Carrington training base, and he brought a desired result to Kintag.

"Tiger, congratulations, you got the desired result!"

When Jin Taige heard this, he immediately asked happily: "How much?"

Woodward stretched out three fingers: "40 million euros. Mr. Glazer decided to add an additional 40 million euros transfer fee to allow you to sign in during the winter, plus the 12.7 million euros you have now, you have a total of There is a transfer fee of 52.7 million euros, which should be enough for you to sign this time."

Jin Taige silently calculated the approximate amount in his heart: "It should be about the same."

"What, it should be similar?" Woodward was a little surprised, "It seems that you are planning to make a big move this winter."

Jin Taige nodded: "Go to your office, let's talk carefully."

Kintag asked Phelan and Scholes to lead the team to practice, and he walked towards the office building with Woodward.

In fact, in the memory of later generations, Kintag knows that this winter, Glazer added some transfer fees to the team, and Moyes, who succeeded Ferguson as coach, used this money to buy Mata of Chelsea. 44 million euros, so Kintag speculates that Glazer should add about 40 million euros. The club has money now, it's just a question of whether they are willing to spend it for themselves.

The two walked and chatted.

Jin Taige asked Woodward curiously: "Ed, how did you convince Mr. Glazer to give me an additional transfer fee?"

Woodward patted his chest: "Of course I am sensible and emotional, and I will not hesitate to use my position as CEO to fight for your winter transfer fee..."

"Get to the point!" Jin Taige interrupted him.

Woodward glanced at him resentfully: "Tiger, you really don't give face. In fact, this is the case. I talked about your needs and the current situation of the team, but Mr. Glazer was not moved; I told you about your league and Champions League results, but Mr. Glazer was indifferent; in the end I had to use my trump card."

"What trump card?"

"I told Mr. Glazer that your vision for buying people is top-notch. Kanter and Alonso, who were introduced with zero transfer fees this summer, are now worth more than ten million yuan; Mahrez, who was introduced for 500,000 yuan, is now worth more than ten million yuan. It has increased by about 30 times; while Martial, Icardi and others have seen different degrees of increase in value. Looking at the current situation alone, the summer transfer investment has already been recovered. If you add more in winter As for the transfer fee, I believe that with your perspective of buying people, the team can still gain something. After I said this, Mr. Glazer made up his mind to continue investing after a little consideration, adding an additional 40 million euros."

Woodward explained in detail what happened.

Jin Taige immediately gave a thumbs up: "Ed, you are really a business genius. Even in the position of CEO, your business talent is really in full play. I didn't expect you to persuade Glazer from the business aspect, Really great."

Woodward said triumphantly: "I also came from a business background. I understand Glazer. In fact, he doesn't care much about the team's performance. What he cares about is how much money the team's performance can earn him. According to you, When I explained to him the team's tactical lineup requirements, he couldn't listen at all. But as soon as I analyzed the input-output ratio, Mr. Glazer happily increased the cost. Now that you have money, you can show your talents."

Jin Taige nodded: "I do have some mature ideas, which have been put on hold because of the transfer fee. Now that the fee is in place, we can also think about the winter transfer period in advance."

The two people talked, and came to Woodward's office. After the two entered the room, Kintag closed the door deliberately to prevent the transfer news from leaking out.

Woodward smiled: "It's still quite mysterious."

Kintag tore a piece of paper from his notebook, wrote the names of three people on it, and some personal information such as nationality, team affiliation, and position on the field, and handed it to Woodward.

"this is?"

"These three people are my transfer targets this winter," Jin Taige explained. "The first two people are more anxious. I suggest that the club immediately bid for the other club and put forward the purchase intention. It is best to transfer in the winter on January 1. When the window opens, we can get those two."

Woodward looked at the transfer list: "The first two are Belgians?"

"right."

"The first player is in Cagliari in Serie A, named Nainggolan?"

Jin Taige explained: "The team is currently short of personnel in the midfield position, the main players are too old, and the strength of the substitute players is limited, so my signing targets this time are all in the midfield position. First of all, it is him, Nain Golan. He is a B2B midfielder, one of the best B2B midfielders in the world in the future, I am very sure. And his brave and unyielding character is very similar to that of Manchester United. If he can come to Manchester United, he will definitely It has greatly enhanced the hardness of Manchester United's midfield."

Woodward is most concerned about the cost: "How much is his transfer fee?"

Jin Taige thought for a while: "As far as I know, AC Milan and Juventus are also watching him, but now the official bid should only be Roma. According to the information I got internally, Roma proposed the way of renting first and then buying. They are prepared to pay a loan fee of 3 million euros this winter, and then buy half of his ownership for a transfer fee of 6.5 million euros in the summer."

Woodward frowned: "It's so troublesome, why do you have to buy half and half?"

"Rome has limited financial resources, so I guess they won't be able to afford enough transfer fees." Kintag speculated, "Rome has no money, but we have money. I am going to make a one-time bid to completely buy Nainggolan."

"The highest price is only 18 million euros. If we pay in full, I believe the price can be lowered. I will send someone to arrange it now, try to lower the price, and try to buy Nainggolan at the lowest price." Woodward De promised.

Jin Taige instructed again: "Ed, you must not let me let Nainggolan go because of the price."

"Don't worry, if it's as you said, then I'm very sure to bring him back to Old Trafford." Woodward said confidently, "I don't understand coaching teams, but the matter of buying and selling players , I am very professional."

After reaching a consensus on the Nainggolan issue, Woodward then looked at the second person: "This person...is in England?"

Jin Taige nodded: "It shouldn't be a big problem to win Nainggolan, but this second person will definitely encounter some difficulties..."
