Seven Hundred and Seventieth Chapters, Malicious

The bullshit remarks of "Daily Sports Daily" made Jin Taige very upset.

My Manchester United players, whether they are contract extensions or sales, do you have half a dime to do with them! It's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks!

However, "Daily Sports" was very interested in Dembele's incident. He published several reports in a row, and even interviewed Barcelona's coach Enrique on Dembele's issue.

"Coach Enrique, what do you think of Dembele?"

"Dembele is a very good player. He has fast speed, good technique, good dribbling, and strong scoring ability. His technical characteristics are a bit like Neymar. Over time, he will definitely be a world-class striker."

"I heard that during the summer transfer period last year, Barcelona made an offer for Dembele. Was it your personal opinion at that time?"

"This is not only my personal opinion, but also the opinion of the club. When Dembele played in Dortmund, we have been paying attention to his performance. His technical characteristics are very consistent with Barcelona. If he can play in Barcelona, So many Dembele and Barça clubs will be of great benefit."

"Then will Barcelona continue to offer Dembele during this winter transfer period?"

"Maybe, it's hard to say."

"If he comes to Barcelona, ​​can he get a chance to start?"

"Absolutely no problem! If he comes to Barcelona, ​​not only will his salary increase a lot, he will also get a starting position in the team, and playing next to Messi, Neymar and Suarez will definitely be of great benefit to him. help."

When the "Daily Sports" continued to report on Dembele, the winter transfer window officially opened.

On the training ground, Kintiger said solemnly to the players: "Guys, it's really amazing that you have won the honor of seven crowns. But that was already in 2016, and now it's 2017, I hope you To be able to forget the previous honors, start from a new one, and continue to strive for victories and championships! In 2017, our goal is very simple, to defend the seven crowns!"

That's what Kintag told the players, and he thinks so himself. What Manchester United needs now is to set sail again and pursue new victories and championships.

But apart from the matters on the court, there are still many troubles waiting for Jin Taige to deal with outside the court.

One of the most important things at present is the renewal of Dembele's contract.

Under the continuous reports of "Daily Sports", Dembele's contract renewal work is even more difficult to carry out. Woodward told Kintag that Dembele's agent Sissoko came to him again a few days ago. , and brought new demands from Dembele.

After Dembele won the European Golden Boy Award, he has already reassessed his own value, and when the "Daily Sport" broke that Barcelona was about to make an offer to buy him again, Dembele was even more proud , this time he not only asked himself to get the same team maximum salary as Griezmann, but also asked himself to be the main player of the team!

During this period of time, Jin Taige was already a little upset, but when he heard Dembele's unreasonable demands, he became even more irritable: "Ed, let's make the last fight. If it is really difficult for Dembele to renew his contract, we can Consider selling him, anytime."

Woodward still feels a little pity: "Now Dembele will definitely not be able to sell for a big price. If he is trained again, Dembele will probably be able to sell for the price of Icardi and Dybala in the future."

"These are all things for later. If he doesn't renew his contract, we will be on the verge of falling apart as soon as the contract expires next year. You should hurry up and talk to his agent. I will also have a private chat with Dembele."

In the second day's training, Kintag talked to Dembele alone, trying to persuade him to renew his contract as soon as possible.

But in the face of Jin Taige's sincere retention and persuasion, Dembele was a little indifferent. He didn't express his position, but told Jin Taige that he was only thinking about the game now, and the contract renewal was handled by his agent.

When the Manchester United club was in a state of desperation because of Dembele's contract extension,

Manchester United suddenly received Barcelona's offer for Dembele-35 million euros.

In Woodward's office, Kintag looked at the offer and smiled coldly: "It's not bad. It's 5 million euros higher than in the summer transfer period. I really think Manchester United is a beggar!"

Woodward is also very dissatisfied: "Under the current situation, any player is worth tens of millions. As the winner of the European Golden Boy Award in 2016, Dembele is worth this little money? Barcelona is a bit too much Yes. Tiger, what are you going to do? Is it to raise the price?"

Jin Taige shook his head, he said coldly: "Reject directly! Don't explain anything! Let them think about it!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you about the transfer."

Woodward called the secretary over and asked him to fax Barcelona immediately to express Manchester United's position and opinions.

After receiving the news that Manchester United refused to make an offer, the Barcelona board of directors held an emergency meeting, which was chaired by Barcelona Chairman Bartomeu himself.

"Manchester United rejected our offer, what do you think of this matter?"

"Hmph, these british guys think they have won the seven crowns, so they are arrogant!"

"They refused directly, didn't they bargain?"

"It seems that Manchester United does not intend to sell Dembele."

"Then we have to think about it, whether to attack Dembele or choose someone else?"

In the conference room, many members of the board of directors and the club's senior management were discussing, but no conclusions were drawn in the end.

Bartomeu looked at Enrique: "Luis, you are the head coach of the team, what do you think?"

Enrique replied in a low voice: "Mr. Chairman, Barcelona's dominance in Europe has declined in the past two years. Although we are still in a dominant position in La Liga, our performance in Europe has not been ideal. This has something to do with the team's lack of bench depth. Great relationship."

"Not only that, but in recent years our team is about to face a stage of transition between old and new. Messi and Suarez are both over 30 years old. We need to replenish young strength. And Neymar seems to be very close to Paris recently. If he If we really move to Paris next summer, then our strength will be greatly reduced."

"At present, there are very few young people as outstanding as Dembele in international football, so my personal suggestion is to sign Dembele at all costs and start injecting fresh blood into Barcelona in advance."

After listening to Enrique's words, Bartomeu nodded: "I understand what you said, and I agree with your point of view. Then our strategy is determined, attack Dembele!"

"However, since Manchester United does not intend to let people go, and even if they decide to sell in the end, it is very likely that the lion will open up the price, so let's do it in the old way..."
