Chapter 304: Transfer Application!
Manchester United finally surpassed Manchester City and returned to the top of the standings. Kintag was very happy. He returned to Manchester that night and gave the players a day off to let everyone have a good rest.
Today is April 6th, and the Carrington training base is very peaceful and quiet. The winter frost and snow have already melted away, and the breath of spring has filled every piece of turf. Although Jin Taige gave the players a holiday, he himself came to Carrington early. On the first-team training ground, he saw Connie again. This old man really regarded Manchester United as his home. It has become a habit in his life to maintain equipment and check the lawn on time every morning.
"Konnie, you came so early." Jin Taige greeted Connie.
"Of course, because your battlefield is at Old Trafford, and mine is at Carrington." Connie said proudly.
The two had just chatted a few words when Jin Taige's phone rang suddenly: "Tiger, where are you?"
"I'm at the Carrington first-team training ground. Ed, you called me so early, is there something wrong?"
"It's urgent, come to my office immediately."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Ten minutes later, Kintag appeared in Woodward's office, and Woodward was waiting for him anxiously. Seeing Taege Kim coming, Woodward said directly to Taege Kim without waiting for Taege Kim to speak: "Tiger, just now I received a fax from Bayern, and they offered to buy Rooney again!"
"What are you talking about, Bayern just made a transfer offer for Rooney?" Kintag looked at Woodward in surprise, "The season has just progressed to this stage, the winter transfer period has passed for a long time, and the summer transfer period has not yet arrived. , are they in such a hurry to apply for a transfer?"
Woodward frowned: "We are now competing with Bayern for a place in the semi-finals of the Champions League. They made an offer at this time, which is absolutely unpredictable. Rooney scored two dollars in the last game and was the best player in the game. If this time To disturb Wayne Rooney's mind with an offer, then it is definitely a bad move."
Kintag asked: "It may also be that Rooney performed very well in the last game, and Bayern really wants to buy him."
Woodward shook his head, and he faxed the transfer application in his hand to Kim Tag: "If they really want to buy, then they shouldn't pay such a small price."
Jin Taige accepted the transfer application, and he went straight to the quotation column to look.
"10 million euros, plus Kroos, buy Rooney."
Woodward went on to vent his dissatisfaction: "Bayern's annual club income is also among the best, but they have always been stingy, can't they be refreshed? Look at this bid, 10 million euros, plus a young Kroos, they Just want to buy Rooney, isn't this a joke?"
Jin Taige looked at the quotation n in his hand and didn't speak for a long time.
Woodward looked at Kim Tag: "What's wrong with you?"
Kim Tag looked up and only said one word to Woodward
Meanwhile, in an office at the Bayern club, Guardiola was talking to Bayern's vice-president Hopfner.
Recently, Bayern has encountered trouble. On March 14, 2014, their meritorious chairman Uli Hoeness was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for personal tax evasion. Hoeness announced his resignation as Bayern chairman and chairman of the supervisory board, and was officially imprisoned on June 2. At this time of crisis, the vice chairman of the Bayern club, Hopfner, was appointed to act as the chairman of the club and the chairman of the board of supervisors, and took charge of Bayern.
Although the club has undergone tremendous changes, it has had little effect on Bayern's results.
After the Champions League game, after Guardiola returned from Manchester,
He has been discussing one thing with Hopfner: making an offer to Rooney again. After careful consideration, the two finally formally issued an offer letter to Manchester United this morning.
In response to Hopfner's confusion, Guardiola explained to him: "Mr. Chairman, don't worry, I guess Manchester United will not agree to our offer this time. Now Rooney is in good condition. Their last asking price was 3000 10,000 euros plus Kroos, and this time we proposed 10 million euros plus Kroos, which did not reach the bottom line of Manchester United. Although the offer cannot be reached, it will definitely affect Rooney's competitive state. If Rooney's next game If the state is affected, then our road to the Champions League is definitely a sure thing."
Hopfner nodded, approving Guardiola's decision.
The two were chatting when the secretary hurried in and handed Hopfner a fax: "Mr. Chairman, this is the transfer letter from Manchester United."
Guardiola smiled: "Rejecting us so quickly, it seems that we must have offended Jin Taige. He must be very upset about this offer. But it doesn't matter. We will contact the reporter friends in a while and ask them to pass this offer on. If the matter is revealed, I believe that Rooney will definitely have psychological fluctuations when he sees our offer, so that our next round will be better."
But when Guardiola finished speaking, he found that Hopfner didn't seem to hear it, he just stared at the fax in front of him.
"Mr. President, what's the matter with you?"
"Josep, Manchester United and they agreed!"
"what!"
Guardiola was taken aback! He took the fax and watched it carefully. After more than ten seconds, Guardiola showed a complicated expression on his face: "What's wrong with Kim Tag? Didn't he propose 30 million euros plus Kroos? Why is there such a big difference in price? Agreed?"
Hopfner frowned: "A while ago, Real Madrid also proposed that they were interested in Kroos, and they were also considering a bid. But now Manchester United actually agreed, which disrupted our transfer strategy."
Guardiola shook his head again and again: "I really didn't expect that Jin Taige would agree to such a low price. What's wrong with him?"
Hopfner took a deep breath: "We made an offer, and they agreed, and now there is absolutely no way to withdraw the deal. If we go back on our word, then our Bayern's credibility will be greatly reduced, which is very detrimental to us."
Guardiola thought for a moment, and he said slowly: "Although this time it was beyond our expectations, this deal is definitely a good deal. Use 10 million euros and an unstable factor in exchange for England's No. 1 in excellent condition. Star, worth it."
"Since this is the case, then we can formally negotiate with Rooney," Hopfner said, "Before an important game, discuss the transfer of important players. It seems that Manchester United will lose the next game. "
