Chapter 123 Lease or transfer?

Sitting on the sofa, Van Gaal handed Xia Xing a cup of coffee.

Xia Xing took a sip.

"It's bitter, isn't it?"

"Well, kind of."

"It's good to get used to it, because this is the taste of life."

"It seems that you are not only a head coach, but also a philosopher."

"Thank you. Tell me about your thoughts. How do you think about the three suggestions I made to you?"

"I've thought about it."

"Tell me."

"I want to leave Manchester United."

"Lease or transfer?"

"Just transfer and leave."

Looking at Xia Xing's determined eyes, Van Gaal nodded: "I guessed it."

"Oh? Guess it?"

"Yeah, after a few chats on the plane, I found out that you are a young man with personality. It is not surprising that you would make such a choice. Tell me about your specific thoughts, I am very interested."

Since he wanted to leave, Xia Xing did not hesitate to speak freely.

"We're all Manchester United fans in my family and I have a lot of affection for the place.

"I would really like to be able to stay here if I can.

"Even if the treatment is worse and the pressure of competition is greater, I can accept it.

"But after I listened to your coaching strategy, I have already decided to leave.

"One year at Leicester City, I had a lot of feelings.

"I love playing football, but I absolutely don't accept sitting on the bench.

"So, just because I like Manchester United doesn't mean I have to be dead at Manchester United.

"I do not like this feeling.

"I want to leave and go to a club that will give me a chance to play, a place in the team,
"To fulfill my football dream.

"This is what I really think, without reservation."

Xia Xing finished speaking quickly and looked at Van Gaal.

Van Gaal listened carefully, nodded, and asked curiously: "Don't you feel sorry for leaving Manchester United so decisively?"

Xia Xing shook his head: "No regrets. If one day I play well, Manchester United will beg me to come back."

"Huh?" Van Gaal was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha!
"Good boy, it's yours!

"You are so nice!
"With this courage, it's great, I like it!

"Actually, to be honest, I think you have some potential in the future.

"Although I may not give you a position for a short time,
"But if you can stay, I am still willing to train you,
"Whether staying in the team or going out on loan, I will do my best to train you,
"Until a few seasons you have the quality to be a big part of Manchester United.

"But hearing these words of yours,
"I think I still think of you simply.

"You have clear goals and firm ideas,

"It's good, good.

"The club has given me the full power to deal with the players,

"Especially the question of whether you young players will stay or not.

"Since I promised you, I will let you go.

"I have also considered your transfer fee before,

"I'm going to set you a price of 500 million euros.

"You came to Manchester United on a free transfer last year and now you're playing in the Championship,

"This price is actually lower than the market price, you know.

"However, Manchester United has always been very kind to players who leave the team.

"I lowered the transfer fee for you, and I also hope that you can get better salary in the new team.

"I'll post your transfer information later,
"You can talk to any club now about transfers."

Hearing these words, Xia Xing let out a long breath.

This result is not bad.

As a key player for Leicester City to reach the Super League last season, and also the MVP player of the FA Cup, Xia Xing is worth more than 500 million euros.

In addition, Xia Xing is a young player with a registered permanent residence in England, so his value can be doubled directly.

You must know that in the Premier League, the effect of the account book is quite obvious.

Looking at Van Gaal in front of him, Xia Xing felt more favorable.

Although Van Gaal made it clear that he would not give himself a chance in the new season, and he did not have any polite words to hold back his transfer request, but this is Van Gaal's style.

Decisive and straightforward, not procrastinating, say what you want, even if you offend others.

Xia Xing nodded: "I accept this condition."

"That's good," Van Gaal patted him on the shoulder. "Young man, although I sold you today, if one day I think you are good, I might really buy you back, haha."

Xia Xing smiled.

One day, this may be the farthest day.

Leaving Van Gaal's room, Xia Xing turned around and said something.

"Coach Van Gaal, although I haven't had much contact with you, you still left a deep impression on me.

"I think you're a good coach.

"If Manchester United can give you enough patience and trust,
"I believe you will lead Manchester United on the right path,

"Goodbye."

Xia Xing gently closed the door, and Van Gaal stood there in a daze for a while.

Then, suddenly laughed.

If Manchester United can give me enough patience and trust?
This is what I said, ha ha.

Funny kid.

After he turned back to his desk, he made a call: "Announce the news of Xia's listing."

"Is the transfer fee still the previously set 500 million euros?"

"Well, that's right, the contract text can be prepared in advance."

"Ok."

"Oh, by the way, add a clause to the contract."

"Add what?"

"Add a buyback clause for Manchester United, the amount is set at 3000 million euros."

"Ok!"

Hanging up the phone, Van Gaal looked out the window.

His team cleaning plan has already begun, and many players have already received his call and are looking for their next home.

But he always felt that this young man seemed a little different.

Maybe your cleaning plan is not perfect, but try to make up for it.

The repurchase clause of 3000 million euros can also be regarded as a guarantee for the future.

Who knows if this young man will really play in the Premier League?

Van Gaal's move is just an ordinary transfer behavior.

Even if he thought Xia Xing was good, he didn't care too much.

But he didn't know that in a few years, Manchester United would thank him for what he did today.

However, that's all for later.

Leaving the club, Xia Xing looked at the time.

It's almost noon.

He took a taxi and went to a restaurant in Manchester.

Because here, he made an appointment to meet someone.

Yesterday afternoon, Xia Xing received a call, and Xia Xing was very surprised by the self-reported family name on the other side of the phone.

He is actually a big shot!
But the other party was actually in Manchester, and he came here specially for him.

This surprised Xia Xing even more.

But this is a good thing, Xia Xing arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes earlier.

But when he walked into the room, he realized that the other party had already arrived.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay, I came earlier. I went to the club to discuss the transfer. How did it turn out?"

"As you expected..."
