jingle!!

A rapid cell phone ringtone woke up the sleeping Martin Ferguson, lazily reached out, lit up the desk lamp at the head of the bed, put on glasses, squinted his eyes and looked at the time, and he almost cursed.

"Damn it, it's midnight, who?"

In the past few days, he has been busy traveling around and finally got the opportunity to have a good sleep, but he called in the middle of the night. Isn't this just asking for scolding?

But after taking out the phone number, he immediately swallowed the voice of cursing back into his stomach as soon as he saw the caller ID.

It turned out that the caller was his elder brother, Ferguson.

"Hey, brother." Martin Ferguson answered the phone with a sad face.

"Martin, there is something that is getting worse and worse when I think about it, so I'd like to discuss it with you." Ferguson on the other side of the phone seemed a little panicked, and he didn't look like he was wise and magical in his usual manner.

"What's the matter?" Martin Ferguson almost cried.

It was midnight, and I called, what can I discuss?

Is it not okay to say tomorrow?

"I suspect he's going to dig Ronaldinho."

"Who?" Martin Ferguson didn't turn around for a moment.

But Ferguson on the other side of the phone was anxious, "Who else could be there? Of course it's Gao Han."

"Gao Han?" Martin Ferguson's instinctive reaction broke out when he heard this name, "You said he was going to dig Ronaldinho?"

"Yeah." Ferguson nodded.

But after hearing this, Martin Ferguson shook his head and denied it, "This is impossible."

"How is it impossible?"

"I tell you that the first condition of Ronaldinho's transfer is that he must be able to play in the UEFA Champions League. The reason why he is determined to leave Paris Saint-Germain is because the latter cannot play in the UEFA Champions League."

Martin Ferguson was afraid that his brother would not believe it, so he added, "This is what his brother Assis told me in person. Without the Champions League, even if it is a powerful family, his younger brother would not go."

"Really?" Ferguson still didn't believe it.

He was frightened by Gao Han and Chelsea's golden ruble.

After coaching Manchester United for so many years, when has he ever seen such a crazy poaching?

It can almost be said that it does not care about costs at all, does not consider the team's debt at all, and does not care about the investment, and only wants to dig up players in the shortest time. This is simply crazy.

Although Ferguson was calm in front of others, he was actually very uneasy.

"It's true." Martin Ferguson said to comfort his brother.

"Or else, I will fly to Paris immediately tomorrow and meet them again."

Ferguson on the other side of the phone nodded quickly, "Okay, you might as well do this, just add the offer. Even if you spend more money, you must negotiate Ronaldinho. I will be responsible for the management."

This is to avoid the long night dreams.

Martin Ferguson understood what his brother meant and agreed on the spot, promising to talk about Ronaldinho.

"Martin, you know, after David left the team, we need a strong midfielder. Ronaldinho is the best candidate. Robben has gone to Chelsea. Ronaldinho cannot lose." Ferguson said solemnly.

"I understand, don't worry." Martin Ferguson agreed.

But even after hanging up the phone, he became completely sleepy.

The two brothers have worked together for so many years, but he has never seen Ferguson look uneasy.

There is no doubt that Chelsea's signings are indeed too crazy, unprecedented and unheard of, but it is probably Gao Han who really puts pressure on Ferguson.

He is worried that Gao Han will succeed at Chelsea and shake Manchester United's dominance in the Premier League.

In the past few years, only Wenger's Arsenal is the only one who is truly worthy of becoming Manchester United's opponent. But the Gunners are looking to lose their clothes and diet because of the construction of a new stadium. This is an excellent opportunity for Manchester United to show their strength.

If this is done, Manchester United will become the giant in the Premier League!

But at this critical moment, Gao Han came, and there was another Abramovich.

Thinking of this, Martin Ferguson did not dare to be careless at all.

Because he knew that the transfer market was a war!

…………

…………

I didn't sleep all night, and early the next morning, Martin Ferguson booked the earliest flight to Paris.

Before boarding the plane, he sent a text message to Ronaldinho's agent Assis, inviting him and Ronaldinho to have a meal together at noon.

But during the ninety-minute voyage from London to Paris, Assis never responded.

This made Martin Ferguson feel uncomfortable all the way, and his mood became more and more nervous.

After finally leaving Charles de Gaulle Airport, he stopped a taxi and wanted to go to Paris Saint-Germain's office first and try to meet Chairman Francis Glaer, Assis finally called back.

"God, Robert, you're finally back to Earth." Martin Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, Martin, there were some urgent matters to deal with just now, so the phone was silent and I didn't notice it."

Assis on the other side of the phone was still the same as usual, explaining and apologizing with a smile.

"It's okay, Robert, I'm already in Paris now, can I have lunch together?"

"Is that?" Assis on the other side of the phone was a little surprised. "Something happened to be something I wanted to tell you, OK, let's have lunch together."

"Then can your brother come together?" Martin Ferguson asked with concern.

"Uh... this, he may not be very convenient."

Martin Ferguson nodded without a doubt and said, "Okay, it's okay, just come, we'll see you later."

"See you later."

After hanging up the phone, Martin Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew very well that Ronaldinho did not have much opinion on the transfer. Many major decisions were handled by his brother. As long as he handled his brother, the transfer was basically sure.

Suddenly, he thought of his brother, so he sent a text message.

"Don't worry, we made an appointment to have lunch together, no problem."

After posting, Martin Ferguson smiled confidently.

Soon, the text message came back.

"Anyway, we must talk about it today!"

Martin Ferguson felt Ferguson's determination and replied: "Okay."

Manchester United has always taken the initiative in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain or the Ronaldinho brothers. Even the suspension of contacts some time ago was also a unilateral decision by Manchester United.

This is a negotiation strategy.

In fact, Assis was anxious to ask him why he suspended negotiations a few days ago. They had already broken up with Paris Saint-Germain and it was difficult for them to stay with the team again, so the eagerness to leave the team was already very obvious.

Martin Ferguson is confident that as long as Manchester United lets go, the transfer will be easily negotiated.

But just as he arrived at the booked restaurant with confidence, confidently preparing to negotiate words, and even ordered a bottle of red wine in advance to celebrate, the first words of Assis after arriving at the restaurant made him jump out of his seat.

"I'm really sorry, Martin, the club and we have agreed to the Chelsea offer!"

Martin Ferguson only felt a buzzing sound from behind, and he felt as if someone had secretly knocked a stick from behind. He couldn't even hear clearly what was going on. His mind was blank and he finally woke up.

"How is this possible? We clearly had a good contact, when did they get into it?"

"Just three days ago, head coach Gao Han flew to Paris and met us." Assis was still very polite and polite, "You know, my brother's best friend in the national team is Kaka, so he admires Gao Han very much."

"No, no, Robert, this is not in line with the rules." Martin Ferguson was a little anxious.

"We've almost finished talking. You suddenly told me that you are going to Chelsea. This is a breakup, do you understand?"

"Sorry, Martin, if I remember correctly, we didn't sign any agreement at all, and you had unilaterally stopped negotiating a few days ago, didn't you?"

"But...you..." Martin Ferguson was completely anxious.

No matter what, he never expected that things would become what they are now.

"I'm sorry." Assis apologized again.

But Martin Ferguson couldn't listen at all, "Wait, Robert, how much did they offer? How much did they give?"

Assis was obviously embarrassed, but hesitated for a moment and replied: "32 million euros, 100,000 euros in a weekly salary."

A weekly salary of 100,000 euros?

That is about £60,000, which is completely within the acceptable range of Manchester United.

Manchester United can't afford the transfer fee of 32 million euros at all.

But now...

Martin Ferguson was really anxious, and he suddenly realized that this was Manchester United's last chance.

"Wait, Robert, you still have a contract, right?"
