In Woodward's office, Kintag and Woodward carefully planned the winter transfer period.

After reaching a consensus on the Nainggolan issue, Woodward then looked at the second name on the list: "Is this person in England?"

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

Woodward smiled and said: "Your goal is Chelsea, and Mr. Glazer has always had a good relationship with Abramovich. This deal should be easier than you think."

Kintag shook his head: "When I said difficulties, I didn't mean business operations. In fact, according to inside information, my target has already made a transfer request. He is likely to transfer to Germany this winter."

Woodward was more relieved: "Isn't that easier?"

Jin Taige explained: "Because Mourinho knows that although he doesn't like this player, he knows very well in his heart that this player has unlimited potential. I guess he is unwilling to let him come to Manchester United to increase the strength of his competitors. .”

"Is he that strong?" Woodward asked.

Jin Taige nodded firmly: "Very strong."

"Then why doesn't Mourinho reuse him and sell him?"

"Because there are so many talents in the Chelsea midfield, Lampard, Hazard, Oscar, Ramirez, William, Essien, Mata, Schurrle, and during the winter transfer period, Mourinho will still Buy the midfielder Matic, now Chelsea's midfield is very bloated, there is no chance for young people to play."

Listening to Kintag's very thorough analysis, Woodward looked again at the second name on the list, Kevin De Bruyne.

Kintag continued: "At present, the Bundesliga team Wolfsburg is negotiating with Chelsea about the transfer of De Bruyne. The transfer fee should be around 18 million euros, which is also a price that Chelsea can accept. I suggest that we report directly If Mourinho disagrees with this price, then Ed will have to come forward and help out."

Woodward nodded: "Tiger, I don't think it's such a trouble. De Bruyne is just an abandoned player under Mourinho. In the case of the same price, generally speaking, the club will not take the initiative to refuse. , they should let the players choose."

This is the situation that Kintag hopes to see most: "It would be great if this is the case. I will go to London in person and have a good talk with De Bruyne. I must win him over."

Woodward didn't understand: "Can you really improve Manchester United's strength by buying a Chelsea player?"

Kintag nodded very firmly: "If you compare these two Belgians, Nainggolan can be said to be Manchester United's second Roy Keane, and De Bruyne will definitely become Manchester United's second." Scholes!"

Woodward shrugged: "Well, I believe you, you have always been very accurate in seeing people. Then this third person, do you need me to make an offer now? How much?"

Jin Taige waved his hand: "Don't worry about the third person. After Nainggolan and De Bruyne are in place, we will buy the third person."

"Why is that?"

"Because at this time, there will be some other troubles to make a rash bid to buy"

Woodward stood up and snapped his fingers: "I understand, everything is carried out according to your plan. I will now let the team's transfer representative deal with Nainggolan and De Bruyne."

"Please, Ed."

Woodward looked at Kim Tiger with very strange eyes: "Tiger, I'm curious, where did you get the inside information? How do you know the current situation of these two players, and which teams have already made bids? You even have a clear grasp of the price? Are you the legendary James Bond?"

Jin Taige smiled slightly,

He imitated James Bond's tone and answered Woodward with familiar words from the movie: "My name is Tiger."

By the time I left Woodward's office, it was late, and it was cold in early winter. Because it was only 15 minutes away, Kim Tago wanted to walk home, but Woodward offered to see him off. Kim Tae-gee accepts his kindness.

In the car, Woodward said to Kim Tiger: "Tiger, you really should buy a car. After all, you are now the coach of Manchester United. It is more convenient to drive in many cases."

Jin Taige said jokingly: "I also want to buy a car, but the salary is not enough."

In fact, Jin Taige is just a joke. He now has a weekly salary of 50,000 euros, and buying a car is still a piece of cake.

But then again, Kintag's current weekly salary is almost the lowest in the entire Premier League. Mourinho's weekly salary is 180,000, and Wenger's weekly salary is 150,000. Even the head coaches of several Premier League relegation teams can get it. With a weekly salary of 70,000, including the head coaches of the entire 20 Premier League teams, Kintag's weekly salary is ranked last.

This is not because Manchester United has no money, but because Kintag's qualifications are too low, and Glazer still doesn't trust him so much, so not only the transfer fee is less, but also the weekly salary is also low.

Woodward smiled and said: "Tiger, isn't your goal the Triple Crown? When you win the Triple Crown at the end of the season, I can guarantee that Mr. Glazer will greatly increase your weekly salary, at least double it." , I'm sure!"

"Okay, then I'll lend you luck."

Woodward was extremely efficient. On the second afternoon, he told Kintag that he had reached a preliminary agreement with Cagliari to buy Nainggolan directly for 15.5 million euros!

Jin Taige was very happy. That night, he personally called Nainggolan. When Nainggolan received the call, he was very surprised. He asked in very proficient English: "Are you, Mr. Kintag?"

Jin Taige smiled and said: "Hello, Radga, I am Jin Taige, you can call me Tiger. Damn it, my transfer official actually told me that you are not proficient in English, I must ask you tomorrow. Go and take him to have a good ear check to see if there is any problem with his hearing."

Nainggolan was taken aback. In Serie A clubs, the head coach is very authoritative, and the head coach has always shown himself with a serious face. And Mourinho, who won the five crowns at Inter Milan, was also called an outlier by the media, and was under pressure and blows from various aspects of Serie A. Nainggolan has never met a head coach who is willing to joke like Kim Taige.

Kintag continued on the phone: "Radega, you are a full-fledged midfielder with a tenacious style, strong body, excellent skills, and fierce fighting. I admire your skills and character. Come to Manchester United. Will give you a stable playing time, give you enough freedom, the whole midfield is yours!" (Successor of the Red Devils)
