Chapter 24, Surprise and Doubt
Kim Tiger couldn't buy a suitable striker, so he just put it aside for a while, and then flew to Brazil with Woodward to find the last name on his transfer list, an excellent young goalkeeper.
Although Jin Taige encountered failures on the road of buying excellent strikers, this trip to Brazil has been successful and has yielded a lot.
Jin Taige went directly to the Brazil International Club and met with the chairman of the club, Dalson. Jin Taige really did not expect that Woodward's social circle is not only in Europe, but he is also very popular in Brazil. After Dalson met Woodward, the two talked about the development of the South American football market for a long time. Only then did Jin Tiger know that the Glazer family also had investment projects in South America.
Woodward introduced Jin Tiger to Dalson. Dalson was used to seeing the head coaches of big European clubs, so he understood that the purpose of these people was his own players, and he tentatively asked Jin Tiger who he was interested in.
Jin Taige stretched out his hands and gestured: "Alisson, the goalkeeper of your club, I want to buy him."
"Alisson?" Dalson was stunned, there was nothing special about this 21-year-old young goalkeeper.
Dalson thought for a while: "Alisson now has a 2 million euro cancellation clause, if you..."
Jin Taige didn't think about it: "2 million euros, I bought it."
Seeing that Jin Taige agreed so quickly, Dalson suddenly regretted: Is Alisson's release payment less set?
But it's a done deal, and it can't be changed.
Jin Taige met Alisson. He chatted with Alisson about his team building ideas, and proposed to buy Alisson to become his new star goalkeeper training, and the new season will give him some cup appearances.
Jin Taige originally thought that he would have to spend some time to persuade Alisson to replace De Gea, but he did not expect that he would effortlessly, just after a few words, Alisson agreed to the transfer request.
Jin Taige was overjoyed, and he quickly signed a transfer contract with Alisson.
Alisson successfully transferred, the transfer fee is 2 million, and now Jin Tiger has 11.7 million transfer funds to use.
Jin Taige looked at the transfer list in his hand, and his heart was very bitter: For a transfer fee of more than 10 million, don't think about buying a good striker.
Woodward arranged for club officials to greet Alisson to Manchester, and then left Brazil with Kim Tiger for neighboring Argentina. The reason why Jin Taige came to Argentina is not because of any transfer goals, but because he liked Argentina's elegant and wild football culture very much in his previous life. Since he arrived in Brazil, he would drop by to Argentina.
When they arrived, they didn't catch the Argentine league, and Kintiger was a little disappointed. The two passed through Argentina's Rosario province, just in time for an amateur futsal match. Kim Tiger and Woodward sat in the stands watching the game with great interest.
Jin Taige is very emotional: "Argentine football culture is really good, there are people playing football everywhere, you can see on the field, there are children in their teens, there are middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s, they all enjoy the fun of football. "
Woodward agreed: "And they are really willing to spend money. Any province, city, or community has very good lawn football fields and indoor football fields. No wonder Argentine football is strong."
Jin Taige did not speak at this time. He was attracted by an amateur player on the court. The player was about 1.8 meters tall and had excellent foot skills. He was obviously more than one grade higher than other players on the entire court. . From time to time, he dashes forward and shoots in front of the goal with a keen sense of smell. At first glance, he looks like a professionally trained football player, not on the same level as others. Kintag was simply attracted to this man, he thought: With his skills, he could have a foothold in the Europa League.
Time flies, the game is over,
Kim Tiger and Woodward stepped down from the stands, ready to leave. At this time, several players on the futsal field were talking.
"Mauro, you played so well today."
Someone next to him took the call: "Of course, he is a striker who plays in Serie A. I will play with you at home on vacation, and you will be content."
Serie A striker? Jin Taige stopped and hesitated, who is Mauro?
At this time, a young fan in the stand next to him rushed over and asked the player to sign: "Icardi, sign me."
"What? It's actually him!" Jin Taige turned around and looked at him, and saw the handsome young player in the crowd signing autographs for a young fan. Jin Taige was pleasantly surprised, "I said, why did I look at him just now, it was Mauro Icardi!"
"Tiger, what's wrong with you, you keep talking to yourself." Woodward asked inexplicably.
Kim Tiger looked at Woodward happily: "We found the right striker!"
An hour later, Kintiger and Woodward were sitting in a coffee shop with Mauro Icardi across from them.
"Mr. Tiger, you want to invite me to Manchester United?" Icardi asked in surprise.
Jin Taige nodded: "Mauro, if you come to Manchester United, you will definitely be the world's top striker."
"But I remember that Manchester United now have Van Persie and Rooney in their squad. They are both very famous world-class strikers," Icardi hesitated. "Do you want me to substitute for them?"
Jin Taige heard a hint of reluctance from his words, and he hurriedly explained: "Van Persie is getting older, and his state will decline; Rooney alone can't support Manchester United's striker; I need a young, impactful like you. The striker is a complement. We are fighting on four fronts in the new season, and there must be enough games for you to play."
Icardi did not speak.
Kintag continued: "Inter want to buy you, don't they?"
"How did you know?" Icardi was shocked. "This matter is only intentional, not a deal. It is impossible for outsiders to get the news."
"Because I'm Jin Taige." Jin Taige smiled mysteriously, "Mauro, think about it, even if you go to Inter Milan, can you be sure to be the main force? And the head coach of Inter Milan is not looking for talent like me. If you are thirsty."
After some lobbying by Jintiger, Icardi finally decided to join Manchester United. He told Jintiger that Sampdoria’s asking price was 13 million euros. As long as this figure was available, Sampdoria would let him go.
However, Jin Tiger now only has 11.7 million euros in his hand, which is still more than one million yuan. He asked Woodward for help. Woodward made a decision immediately to give Jin Tiger an additional 2 million euros to fully support him in buying Icardi.
The next day, Manchester United officially submitted a purchase application to Sampdoria, and signed the Argentine striker that Kintiger liked with lightning speed.
At this point, King Tiger's summer buying plan is completely over, and he and Woodward flew back to Manchester, full of joy.
But at this time in England, there has already been a voice of doubt about Jin Taige...
