Chapter Twentieth, the Sidewalk

King Tiger and Woodward came to the French city of Boulogne for the most important piece of the puzzle in King Tiger's lineup for the new season, Kante.

none of them.

King Tiger promised Kanter the main role in the team, and Woodward lured Kanter with a lucrative contract.

In fact, Kim Tiger and Woodward made this matter more complicated.

Kante played for Ligue 2 team Boulogne last season. Although his performance was as stable as ever, he was relegated to Ligue 3 at the end of the season due to the limited overall strength of the team. Kante's contract expires at the end of the season, and he does not want to renew his contract with the club. Two Ligue 2 clubs have been interested in him in the past few days. Among them, the closest Ligue 2 club to him is the Ligue 2 club of Caen. If Kim Tiger does not come today, Kante is going to go to Caen in the next two days, and then he Contract details are signed.

Now that he has decided to leave, Kanter has also listed his apartment on a French transaction website, ready to sell, so he just thought of Kim Tiger and Woodward as buyers.

When he heard the name of the Manchester United club, Kante was already thumping with excitement. One was to stay in the Ligue 2, and the other was to go to the Premier League giant Manchester United. Does this choice still need to be considered?

When the three of them chatted for only an hour, Kanter signed his name on a contract on the table where the coffee had just been placed. Jin Taige let out a long sigh of relief, completely at ease.

The three stood up, and Kanter extended his right hand very friendly: "Mr. Coach, please give more advice in the future."

But Jin Taige didn't shake his hand at all. He took two steps forward and hugged Kanter tightly: "I'm relieved that you're here."

Kanter looked at Jin Taige's excited face, and there was only one thought in his mind: I am so lucky today!

Kanter sent the two of them out of the apartment, and Kim Tiger waved goodbye to him: "Kante, you'd better take the time to say goodbye to your apartment, because if Manchester United help you promote the sale of the house, your house will soon be sold. will start."

"Mr. Tiger, thank you for your appreciation. I will do my best to serve you."

"See you in Manchester!"

After getting in the car, Woodward was a little puzzled: "Tiger, is this little dark man really that important to you?"

Jin Taige nodded firmly: "It's very important, extremely important."

Woodward didn't know, but Kintag knew it well. In later life, Kante moved to Ligue 2 team Caen in the 2013-2014 season, and then helped Caen be promoted to Ligue 1 this season. Later, Kante was picked by Leicester City and actually helped Leicester City club win the Premier League in the 2015-2016 season. He was later bought into Chelsea by Conte and performed extremely well in the 2016-2017 season, winning three Premier League Player of the Season awards and helping Chelsea win the season title, becoming the first player to follow different teams for two consecutive seasons Players who won the Premier League title.

It is no exaggeration to say that Kante, who was at his peak in later generations, has become a strong contender for the world's No. 1 defensive midfielder.

How could Jin Tiger be unhappy with such a powerful midfielder and interceptor master being charged for free?

Kante made a free transfer, the transfer fee is 0, and now Jin Tiger has 39.2 million transfer funds to use.

Kintiger and Woodward went straight to Le Havre, another city in France.

Woodward complained, "My old waist can't handle your speed."

"Hurry up, what if someone is poached when it's late?"

"Well, listen to you, I'm just translating..." Woodward spread his hands. "Is it a free agent this time? I like deals that don't cost money."

"Not this time, but this time the price is not expensive,

500,000 euros only. "

"500,000 euros? It's really not expensive," Woodward nodded, looking at Jin Tiger curiously, "Tiger, are you sure you can buy it for 500,000 euros?"

"I'm sure."

"why?"

"Because I had a dream yesterday."

"You're here again..." Woodward was helpless, and Jin Tiger laughed.

The two came to Le Havre club, straight to the point, and asked the club to buy a young player - Mahrez.

Club President Sloka directly stretched out five fingers: "500,000 euros."

Before Woodward could speak, Kim Tiger said first: "Deal!"

The process of negotiating with the players went very smoothly. Mahrez showed an expression of incomparable surprise and surprise. Woodward whispered to Jin Tiger: "I saw this expression of Mahrez just now."

Jin Taige smiled slightly: "You will see each other a few times in the past few days."

As for the move to Manchester United, Mahrez did not hesitate at all. For his fast side horse, going to the fast-paced Premier League can definitely give full play to his greatest advantage, not to mention that it is the Premier League overlord Manchester United who throws an olive branch to him. So he didn't even wait for Woodward to explain the details of the contract before he signed his name at the end of the contract.

Jintaig patted Mahrez on the shoulder: "When Ryan Giggs retires next year, the entire left wing of Manchester United will be yours."

That night, Le Havre club chairman Sloka invited two guests from afar to have dinner, and they were able to establish a relationship with Manchester United, which is also what Sloka would like to see.

"Mr. Tiger, do you know why I like you so much?" Sloka said, "Because I bid, you agree. I like buyers who don't bargain! Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Woodward's face was a little unnatural, and it was the biggest sin for him to buy things without bargaining. He glanced at Jin Taiga very resentfully.

Kim Tigger secretly laughed, whispering to Woodward in English: "When he knows Mahrez's true value, he won't be able to laugh."

Kintag was impressed by Mahrez. He went to Leicester City during the winter transfer period in early 2014. At that time, his transfer value was 500,000 euros. In just two years, he helped Leicester City win the Premier League title, won the Premier League Player of the Year and was named African Footballer of the Year 2016.

In later generations, around Mahrez's transfer, Manchester City and Leicester City had a lot of trouble in 2018. At that time, Manchester City's coach Guardiola's bid to buy Mahrez even reached 75 million euros.

So Kim Tiger can now only spend 500,000 euros to buy his future heir to Giggs, he is really satisfied.

Mahrez successfully transferred, the transfer fee was 500,000, and now Jin Tiger has 38.7 million transfer funds to use.
