He walked to David Gill with coffee and sat down.
Ferguson's good mood had long gone. He drank a sip of coffee and asked, "What is Leeds United's offer?"
David Gill placed the offer sheet neatly on the coffee table in front of Ferguson, pointed at the number that looked a bit dazzling, and replied with despair, "85 million euros... Alex... If we haven't made any progress, Malcolm can't refuse this price."
Damn it!
How can Li Shiguang be so rich! ? The key is why he is willing to spend so much money to buy Cristiano! ?
This kid has some money now, doesn't he know the sky is high and the earth is thick! ? Can he spend it so casually! ?
The key is that when Real Madrid asked Manchester United for the price, they were only willing to offer less than 50 million euros! !
After repeatedly confirming that the offer sheet was indeed written as 85 million euros, Ferguson greeted Li Shiguang in his heart.
"Isn't that greedy guy Mendes unwilling to give in?" Ferguson lowered his head and pondered for a while, then turned to look at David Gill.
"Well, he is very determined." David Gill shook his head first, then tentatively asked Ferguson, "Alex, I think... do you want to talk to Cristiano privately? Mendes is just an agent after all. Renewal of the contract mainly depends on the player's own wishes."
What David Gill said, in fact, Ferguson had thought about it before.
Renewal of the contract really depends on the player.
As long as the player agrees to the salary provided by the club, even a big agent like Mendes can only compromise.
But now this time point is too embarrassing.
In the case of a double-line championship.
Ferguson can't talk to Ronaldo about this matter. If no agreement is reached in the end, it affects Ronaldo's performance. Given the importance of the Portuguese to Manchester United, it would be bad if it was like last season, with nothing.
So after David Gill finished speaking, Ferguson thought about it and shook his head firmly: "David, we can't talk to Cristiano about this now. I don't want to affect his condition."
Hearing Ferguson say this.
David Gill was immediately anxious.
"Alex, this is not a little money, this is 85 million euros. Once the transfer is successful, Cristiano will become the world's most expensive football player! As a head coach, I believe you also know the attraction of this title to football players, and Cristiano's character... is so strong."
"What's more, Malcolm is also urging me, and this money is also very attractive to him! Without Real Madrid, there will be no third club that can pay so much money to buy Cristiano. If it drags on, be careful that we will get nothing in the end!"
Ferguson understood what David Gill meant.
The worst consequence of this matter is that Manchester United rejected Leeds United's offer, and Ronaldo also rejected Manchester United's renewal conditions, and then left the team as a free agent next year.
This result.
This is what David Gill definitely doesn't want to see.
With Malcolm's personality and style of doing things, if Ronaldo really leaves as a free agent, given Ferguson's qualifications at Manchester United, it probably won't be a big deal, but David Gill...his job will probably be lost!
Thinking of this.
Ferguson suddenly felt a little irritated.
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found Li Shiguang's phone number, and dialed it without hesitation.
In less than five seconds.
The call was connected.
Li Shiguang's voice came from the mobile phone on the coffee table, which was on loudspeaker.
"Good morning, Alex, congratulations, you have made it to the Champions League final again!"
Ferguson originally wanted to start scolding as soon as the call was connected.
But Li Shiguang came up and congratulated Manchester United on reaching the Champions League final, interrupting Ferguson's spell.
The old Scottish man with the title of "Lower Order of the Lord" had to show his demeanor first.
Ferguson suppressed his anger, "Good morning, Li, thank you for your congratulations, I hope you can lead the team to break history again at Stamford Bridge today."
"I hope so." In the lobby of a hotel in London, Li Shiguang responded to Ferguson with a smile, and did not forget to stuff his mouth with the fried eggs that Rivaldo had just brought him.
Li Shiguang certainly knew why Ferguson called.
Simply put, he might want to scold him.
If you think about it more complicatedly.
Li Shiguang guessed that Ferguson probably wanted to persuade him to give up his offer for Ronaldo.
Faced with this situation.Li Shiguang was not in a hurry. He had never thought that Manchester United would agree to his offer just this time. At least Ferguson would not agree. If they wanted to buy Ronaldo, there would definitely be a lot of tugs and pulls later.
So Li Shiguang did not take the initiative to speak.
After the words just now, there was an awkward silence on the phone, with only the occasional chewing sound of Li Shiguang.
Paused for a few seconds.
In David Gill's slightly anxious eyes, Ferguson finally remembered what he was calling for.
Damn it!
I was almost led astray by this cunning boy again!
Cursed in my heart.
The old Sir Alex spoke in a serious tone.
"Li, when I just arrived at the club this morning, my colleagues told me that Leeds United has made an offer to us for Cristiano. Did you know about this?"
Swallowing the fried egg in his mouth, Li Shiguang said in a relaxed tone: "I know."
"Is there any misunderstanding?" Ferguson asked tentatively, "Maybe your email was sent to the wrong address?"
"Hahahaha." Li Shiguang's laughter came from the phone, "Alex, you are about to retire, why are you still so naive!? When have you ever seen an offer email sent to the wrong address?"
Get Li Shiguang's affirmative answer.
Ferguson's voice suddenly became gloomy: "Li, are you kidding me? You know how important Cristiano is to me and to Manchester United. I can't sell him to you!"
"Did I hear you right, Alex?" Li Shiguang spoke with disdain, "If Cristiano is really that important to you, why don't you renew his contract? As far as I know, Cristiano's contract will expire next year, right?"
Li Shiguang's tone and words made Ferguson angry to death. His face turned red, but he couldn't find any reason to refute.
It's true that Ronaldo is very important to Manchester United, but it's also true that he has not agreed to Manchester United's renewal conditions!
Just when Ferguson was still frantically looking for reasons in his mind to confront Li Shiguang.
Li Shiguang's voice came from the phone again.
"Alex, my offer is very sincere, and Alan told me that for some reason, the media have already known about our offer to Manchester United. I believe that this big news will spread across Europe in no time... and it will definitely reach Cristiano's ears, hehehe..."
