135 French Storm 3
"Mr. Levy, our people have been in contact with Monaco." George hasn't arrived at Metz, and he received a call from the Blackburn staff on the way.
After entering Blackburn, George found the difference between Blackburn and Burnley. Burnley has been hanging around in England's lower leagues for more than 20 years, and spends more time in England's third and fourth leagues. Therefore, there are serious vacancies in various departments of the Burnley Club.
Just like when he transferred, George basically ran around alone. The club can provide up to one or two staff to follow.
But Blackburn is different. Since Jack Walker invested in Blackburn, all departments of Blackburn have been completed quickly. Not only is the scouting system perfect, but the transfer department is also very perfect. After George became the owner of Blackburn, these departments were handed over to George.
Except for some players that George needs to deal with in person, other transfers do not need George to do so in person.
Now it is Richard Flynn, who is in charge of Blackburn's transfer, who is calling George. Monaco has given full authority to Richard Flynn.
"Well, what's their opinion?" Monaco is a strong team in Ligue 1. I'm not sure if I can snatch the player George from them. But George only knows one thing that since the Bosman Act, it has been difficult for Ligue 1 teams to keep their players.
Among the five major European leagues, Ligue 1 teams have begun to lag behind the other four major leagues. For the Ligue 1 team, George knows that as long as he wields a check, there is basically nothing he can't do. Among the current Ligue 1 teams, there is no team as difficult as Lyon in the future.
"Juli and Sanior, they are unwilling to sell. However, it is not completely impossible. Jiuli is a little difficult. He just arrived in Monaco six months ago and is a player that Monaco attaches great importance to. If you want to buy Jiuli, the cost should be more than five million pounds. As for Sanior, as long as the price is right, there should be no problem. And it won't be too expensive."
Richard Flynn is actually dissatisfied with George's entry into Blackburn. After all, I don't know how many times George mocked Blackburn in his three years at Burnley. And no matter how good George is in Burnley, he is just the head coach of the League One team.
At a young age, he was arrogant and arrogant. And he is also a little confused about George's favorite Jiuli and Sanior. A regular club will not do it casually when buying a player. When they take a fancy to someone, they will send scouts to follow him for a while. Then I will do it.
But when George came to Blackburn, he had already locked several players. As the head of the transfer department, Richard Flynn knew that George's move was quite large this time, involving more than ten players. Richard is not satisfied with such a large-scale signing. However, since he has become the owner of Blackburn, he can only obey his orders.
George pondered for a moment, and both Jiuli and Sanior George wanted. However, the transfer price of Jiuli is more than five million pounds, which is unacceptable to George.
"Mr. Flynn, if Jiuli's price is too high, then forget it. You get in touch with Saniol's agent. Tell him that I promise to give him a main position. Then try to lower the price, within three million pounds, and the transaction will be successful. Three million pounds is the bottom line that George can accept.
Although Saniol is now the main player of Monaco, he has not yet entered the national team. With the general low value of defenders now, three million pounds is already a very high price. George hopes that it would be best to deal for about two million pounds.
"Okay, I know what it means."
George is a little sorry to hang up the phone. Jiu Li is a player that George likes very much, but he is too expensive. George has too many players to buy this season. It's not very cost-effective to buy more than five million pounds.
However, it is also possible to buy Sanior. With Sanior, George will have the right protection for the next ten years.

"Coach Levy, Robert is now in the World Cup. We are going to talk about this after the World Cup. The words of the Metz official almost made George laugh out loud. George came to Metz today for another future French general.
That is, Robert Pirley, the left avant-back in the future, known as the "Golden Left Corridor" in Arsenal. Pires has performed well in Metz, but Metz is a small club, and now he can't keep Pires.
George went to France to negotiate with Marseille first, because now Marseille is also chasing Pires. George doesn't want to compete with Marseille at that time, which will affect the acquisition of Makelele and Gala. So after finishing Macleley and Gala, I arrived at Mace.
Hearing the words of the Metz official, George cursed in his heart. What does the bullshit World Cup have to do with the World Cup in France and Pires? Although Pires has performed well in France, he can't enter the main lineup of the French national team at all.
George knows that both Marseille and Blackburn are interested in Pires, so Mace wants to make money in the middle.
Although Pires performed well, he is not the main force of the French team. Now the French team has Djokov and Henry all have priority over Pires, and it is almost impossible for Pires to play. George smiled and talked to the Metz official. I know that Marseille is also pursuing Pires, but I think it is more beneficial for us to sell it to Marseille.
It is true that Marseille has been in contact with Metz even before the end of the Ligue 1, and the conditions they give are also very good. The price of five million pounds is almost an irresistible price in Ligue 1. Even Henry, who is now rising in Ligue 1, scored three goals in the French World Cup. When he transferred to Juventus, it was only about 10 million pounds.
And Pires is now just a little famous in Ligue 1 and has no place in the national team. Five million pounds is very expensive. Mace and Marseille were about to reach an agreement. At this time, Blackburn stepped in and let Metz urgently stop the negotiations with Marseille.
"Robert is a very good player in our club. I don't know how much Black can pay?" Mace officials saw George straight in, so there was no hypocrisy. I went straight into the meat play.
"5.5 million pounds, I believe this is the highest price among the clubs that offer Pires. And for a substitute player of the French team, 5.5 million pounds, I think it's a very sincere price. George was not polite and directly shouted out his price.
When Pires transferred to Arsenal two years later, it was only six million pounds. Now George shouted out 5.5 million pounds, which made the Metz officials happy.
Although Marseille has been hit and has not been able to recover, it is still a Ligue 1 giant. Monaco is the current strong team in Ligue 1, but Metz is different. Metz is a small club. If they hadn't had a perfect youth training mechanism, they wouldn't have been in Ligue 1.
5.5 million pounds is a very huge amount of money for Mace. Although it is only 500,000 pounds more than Marseille, 500,000 pounds is a considerable amount of money for a small Ligue 1 team like Metz.
In front of money, what are the previous negotiations? Although the negotiations between Metz and Marseille are almost finished, now there are people who raise the price. Of course, they don't care about the results of the previous negotiations.
The negotiation process on this side quickly spread to the other side. When Marseille heard that Blackburn had bid 5.5 million pounds, he gritted his teeth. Blackburn, an asshole, had known that he should not have sold Marclerc and Gala so easily.
Although his heart is itchy, Marseille can't continue. Five million pounds is already the limit that Marseille can do. They can only curse in their hearts, this group of upstarts from England.
But Marseille, in desperation, can only give in.
"Coach Levy, the club agreed to negotiate with Blackburn and Pires."
