Chapter 16, 4 Million
On the way to the city of Groningen in the northeast of the Netherlands, Woodward asked Jin Tiger: "Tiger, you said that the central defender is about to sign someone else. What's the situation?"
"As far as I know, this young man is about to sign with the Celtics, a super powerhouse in the Soviet Union. We have to get ahead of the Celtics and cut him off." Jin Taige explained.
Woodward frowned: "Will this hurt the relationship between the club and Celtic? Is this young man important? If we can, can't we choose someone else to replace it?"
Jin Taige shook his head: "Irreplaceable, he is an important member of my future territory. I introduced him to let him replace Ferdinand in the future."
"So important?"
"It's very important."
"Okay, since you say so, then I will try my best to find a way," said Woodward with a sly smile, "I have a good relationship with the Eredivisie club, and I believe that if the price is the same, the club will definitely give priority to Consider us."
"That would be better."
"However, the player's will is the deciding factor, and we also need our powerful Mr. Tiger to come forward to deal with it."
Jin Taige said confidently: "You can rest assured on this point. It is not a player competing with clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona. I am sure to win him."
Kintag really does what he says. The group came to the Groningen Club in Groningen. Woodward had a close relationship with the club's chairman, Middle, and the two chatted for a while before talking about the purchase of players.
Middle was taken aback: "Who do you want to buy?"
"I'm going to buy Virgil van Dijk," said Kintag.
"You want to buy him?" Middle was stunned, showing an embarrassed look.
Woodward smiled and assured him: "Old friend, don't be embarrassed, he is not the main force of your team, just a young player, and the price is negotiable."
Middle shook his head: "Ed, it's not that I don't want to sell, but we have already negotiated with the Celtic Club of the Suzhou Super League to sell Van Dijk for 4 million. It is estimated that Van Dijk is negotiating a contract with the Celtics. "
Woodward tried his best to save: "Old friend, as long as there is no final signing, everything is negotiable."
Middle looked very embarrassed: "Ed, we are all businessmen, and things have already been agreed, how can we just change it, it's not suitable..."
Woodward was a little disappointed. He was about to say something else when Jin Tiger suddenly interjected: "We will pay 5 million."
"What?" Middle was stunned.
"I said Manchester United offered five million for Van Dijk."
At this time, Middle looked at Kim Tiger next to Woodward. Although Woodward just introduced the identity of Jin Tiger's new Manchester United coach, Middler is very respectful, but he is very disdainful in his heart. A fledgling young head coach may be out of class at some point. With this mentality, Middledell has been discussing transfer matters with Woodward, and has not taken Kim Tiger too seriously.
But now that Jin Taige suddenly said this, Middle was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Woodward. Woodward shrugged: "I just came to help Mr. Tiger, and he has the final say about the transfer."
Jin Taige looked at Middle in front of him and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Chairman, interrupt an unsigned contract, and then exchange for a transfer fee of 1 million and the deeper friendship of the Manchester United coach. This transaction should be a good deal."
"Damn, you can really give me a problem." Middle's face showed a reluctant look, and then made a quick call, "Dear Mr. Tom, I have good news for you. Your players should still Didn't sign with Celtic? It's good not to. You tell him, I have found a big client for him here, and he will be able to land in the Premier League giant Manchester United soon.
And the salary is much higher than what the Celtics give. I suggest you come with your players now, let's discuss the specific transfer details... Don't thank me, this is what I should do, Groningen has always put the interests of the players first. "
After hanging up the phone, Middle showed a fake and sincere look: "Mr. Tiger, look, I have unilaterally stopped the contract with the Celtics for your friendship, and Van Dijk's agent will immediately Come on, we'll sign in a minute."
Woodward gave a thumbs up: "Middle, you have won the friendship of Manchester United on the one hand, and Van Dijk's favor on the other, and you have made an extra 1 million euros. It's amazing."
"Hahaha, let's each other," Middle laughed loudly, "you got the people you wanted, and I got the money you wanted, what a good thing. I must invite you to have a good drink in the evening, um, just Use the 1 million extra you paid me for a treat, hahahaha."
An hour later, Van Dijk brought his agent to Middle's office. After everyone introduced each other, Jin Tiger looked at the big man in front of him. Van Dijk, who is 1.93 meters tall, looks very strong in front of Jin Taige. King Tiger knows that in the future, Liverpool spent 78 million euros to dig Van Dijk from Southampton. This tall central defender has an unseen defense, amazing bounce, excellent header and a long pass. Kung Fu, often become the initiator of the offensive organization. Now that he can spend only 5 million euros, he can dig the future hot-spotted defender of international football to Manchester United, which is definitely a transfer with excellent value for money.
Van Dijk heard King Tiger tell himself that he is Ferdinand's successor, and Woodward also offered a large weekly salary. In all aspects, it is much better than moving to Celtic. . So Kim Tiger signed Van Dijk without spending any energy.
The next morning, Jintiger and Woodward left the Netherlands, and Midel personally came to the hotel to send them off: "Dear friends, I hope you have the opportunity to come to the Netherlands next time, and then I will take you to Amsterdam. , I believe that a young and strong handsome guy like Mr. Tiger will like it there."
Everyone parted and said goodbye. Seeing the figures of the two leaving, Middle put away his smile, and his face became serious.
This young coach named Tiger is not easy. England is going to be interesting next season.
On the way out of Holland, Woodward asked Kim Tiger: "Tiger, how do you know if you add another million euros, that old guy will sell you people."
Jin Taige shook his head gently: "I don't know. But if he doesn't agree, I'll keep raising the price until he agrees."
"This..." Woodward was helpless.
Kim Tiger laughed.
Van Dijk successfully transferred, the transfer fee is 5 million, and now Jin Tiger has 43.2 million transfer funds to use.
Buy people, go ahead.
