Chapter 123 Someone Really Found It

London, inside an office.

At this time, a video of the game was playing on the TV in the office.

"Unbelievable! Lin Kedi scored his 25th goal in the Eredivisie! The Eredivisie has only played 17 rounds!"

"Last season, Lin Kedi only scored 25 league goals, but this season Lin Kedi scored 25 goals in only half a season."

"This is not all of Link's goals this season. In the 6 games of the Champions League group stage this season, Lin Kedi scored 7 goals. In the same period last season, Lin Kedi scored 3 goals in the Champions League group stage, plus the knockout round. Lin Kedi scored a total of 7 goals. This season Lin Kedi has scored 7 goals in the group stage alone, and he is tied with Messi for the top scorer list of the Champions League this season."

The middle-aged Caucasian man sitting opposite the TV turned off the TV directly.

If you are a fan familiar with the Premier League, you will definitely recognize him at a glance as Ed Woodward, the CEO of Manchester United.

It is also commonly known as San Dezi by fans.

There were three people sitting opposite him.

They are Manchester United's chief scout Jim Roller, Manchester United's technical director Mick Court, and Manchester United's team development director Matt Judge.

Some fans may wonder, why is there no football director?

As a football club that often ranks among the top three in brand value in the world, Manchester United's competitive performance over the years does not match their economic performance at all.

This point is not difficult to see from the fact that Manchester United has not set up a football director. In the past, there was Ferguson and this manager, but in the post-Ferguson era, when they must have a football director, Manchester United’s management did not. This post is not set.

And the three people sitting opposite Woodward today, chief scout Jim Roller had already served at Manchester United during the Ferguson era, and he was responsible for controlling the direction of Manchester United's scouting work.

Technical director Mick Court, who also served in the Ferguson era, is responsible for the team's scouting network with Jim Roller.

And team development director Matt Judge will join the signing work after the scouting network run by Jim Roller and Mick Court gives a list of players. His job is to talk to the player's agent. Negotiate.

The team's coach Mourinho will participate in the player's signings throughout the process.

It's just that Woodward didn't call Mourinho to the meeting today.

Woodward spoke first.

"A total of 15 people from the scouting team and the coaching team have recommended Lin Kedi. He is the most suitable for Manchester United. I have already reported to the boss. The boss intends to sign Lin next year. Now we have to do it. The thing is to negotiate with Lin faster than any other team."

Matt Judge looks at Woodward.

"Ed, the salary issue, and what is the upper limit of the transfer fee?"

Mata Judge is a person who only does negotiating work, so he asked the two most critical questions as soon as he came up.

"According to our sources, Lin's latest contract was signed in September 17, with an annual salary of 9 million euros after tax."

"The average annual salary in our team is 635 million pounds before tax, which is 739 million euros before tax when converted into euros. Although the average annual salary cannot reflect the salary balance level in the team, the salary package is what we can attract Lin Kedi. "

"The salary standard agreed by the boss is from a weekly salary of 19 pounds before tax to a weekly salary of 28 pounds before tax. This range is for you to negotiate."

Woodward just said this salary range.

Matt Judge immediately pulled out an iPad from his coat pocket, then pulled out an Apple pencil and started writing and drawing.

Woodward knew he was calculating something and ignored him.

At this time, technical director Mick Court spoke.

"As for the transfer fee, how much is the big boss willing to pay?"

"For the winter window, 8 million pounds, for the summer window, after cleaning up some players, you can get 1.2 million pounds."

At this time, Matt Judge had already done his calculations.

"The salary range given by the boss is exactly between Luke Shaw's weekly salary and Pogba's weekly salary. There are 3 players whose salary is in this range, namely Lukaku with a weekly salary of 20 pounds before tax. De Gea with a weekly salary of 20 pounds, and Martial with a weekly salary of 25 pounds before tax. I think this salary level is for a talent under the age of 18 who has already shown talent and immediate combat power , It’s a very good level. Just now I heard the budget of the transfer fee. In this case, it can be handed over to me for negotiation-by the way, Ed, the bonuses are based on Martial or Sanchez of."

"Of course it belongs to Martial. By the way, the Golden Globe clause can be added to the transfer clause, and the transfer fee can be reduced appropriately."

"Ed, I understand this."

Thus, such a new player signing meeting came to an end.

The team's coach Mourinho did not participate in the whole process.

Of course, this is also related to his recent get-out-of-get out of class turmoil.
-
Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

In Lin Kedi's apartment.

The Eredivisie has entered the winter break, and the team is now on vacation.

Lin Kedi ushered in the long-lost holiday again.

On this day, Lin Kedi was lying on the sofa at home. Suddenly, Ali called and asked him if he was at home.

Lin Kedi originally said that if there is anything to do, just call him.

But Ali said that this matter must be said in person.

So, ten minutes later, Ali arrived at Lin Kedi's home.

"Why isn't Janissa here today?"

"Isn't it normal that she's not here? What's the matter?"

"The transfer. This morning, Manchester United approached me and we met in a private room of a restaurant in Amsterdam."

"You met the CEO of Manchester United?"

"No, Matt Judge, head of team development. He is in charge of negotiating and negotiating player signings for Manchester United."

"Isn't the director of football?"

"Manchester United don't have a director of football."

"Well, what conditions did he give?"

"Lin, wait, you don't seem surprised at all."

"The media reports every day, but no team really offered an offer. Now that a team has really contacted us, why are you surprised? Let's see what conditions they offer."

"The condition they gave was a weekly salary of 19 pounds before tax, which is 22 euros, and an annual salary of 1144 million euros. Of course, this is before tax. The British tax on Premier League players is 45%. So Manchester United's first offer, your annual salary after tax is 515 million euros."

"Wow, their first offer was so high, 5 times what I am now."

"Lin, don't be surprised. The first offer must be the lowest, and the bonus terms have not been mentioned yet. It is only a preliminary intention. Do you think it is possible to contact Manchester United?"

"Get in touch, talk slowly, I will perform well on the court, and you will perform well on the negotiating table."

"No, Lin, what I mean is that Manchester United's situation is not very good now. Mourinho has also been deeply involved in the sacking of get out of class recently. Now Manchester United's league ranking is only sixth."

"After all, Manchester United is the first team to actively find us. The first team always has to give some preferential treatment. Let's talk slowly."
