heir to the red devil

Chapter 518 A steady stream of champions

Woodward hung up the phone, then looked at Kim Tag.

Kintag asked expectantly: "How about it, is Porto going to sell Sandro?"

Woodward smiled wryly: "The chairman of Porto said that no one in the entire club is not for sale except himself - as long as the money is in place."

"This is really their style of doing things." Jin Taige sneered, "Have they set a price yet?"

"No price has been offered. They said that several clubs are also asking Porto about the price of Sandro, so the club needs to discuss it again, determine the final price, and give us news in the next few days." Woodward A little disdainful, "I think they are pure nonsense, just a young Brazilian, how could so many clubs be interested in it, this must be their means of raising prices."

But I didn't expect Jin Taige to shake his head: "Ed, as far as I know, there are really clubs interested in Sandro now, maybe someone has already made an offer, maybe."

Woodward was taken aback: "Really? Then what do you think Sandro's final transaction price will be?"

Kim Tag recalled the parallel world of the afterlife.In the later summer of 2015, Serie A overlord Juventus finally purchased Sandro from Porto, when they spent a total of 2600 million euros.In all fairness, compared to the worth of players of the same level, this price is considered fair.

Jin Taige thought for a while and told Woodward: "I think the final transaction price is around 3000 million."

"So expensive?" Woodward was speechless.

"This price is really not expensive." Kintag explained, "Look at Alonso now, he was Evra's substitute last season. Last summer, Mourinho was ready to pay a high price. Buy him. If we really wanted to sell Alonso at that time, the price of 4000 million euros would be absolutely no problem."

"Can Alonso sell for 4000 million? Such an exaggeration?" Woodward's eyes sparkled, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jin Taige warned him: "Ed, our team is developing healthily and benignly now. Don't think about selling players to gain benefits."

"What if the price is high enough?" Woodward asked with a smile.

Jin Taige shook his head and said seriously: "Ed, if this player's position in the team is not so important, and we have someone who can replace him, and the price must be right, then there is still room for discussion, otherwise it is absolutely impossible." Possibly. Especially the main players, they must not be sold!"

Woodward waved his hand and said with a smile: "Tiger, don't be too nervous, I'm just asking casually. Now the club's financial situation is very good, there is no need to sell players to live, otherwise the boss will not take it out at once. A transfer fee of [-] million euros is coming. As long as you can ensure that the team can continue to win championships."

"Continuously? This word stresses me out a lot." Jin Taige shrugged.

Woodward told him in detail: "I will give you an account. If you can rank in the top four in the Premier League every season and break into the semi-finals in the Champions League, then our annual bonus income and TV broadcasting share can be enough. Get about [-] million euros, and summer commercial activities, club commercial endorsements, jersey advertising sponsorship, etc., can get more than [-] million euros a year, and the rest of the sales of jerseys, game tickets and other related income can also get To more than [-] million euros. I just gave you a rough calculation, this is our income situation. But the annual operating costs of the club are also very high, stadium maintenance, player salaries, etc., almost take up a part of it most of the income."

"Wait, wait," Jin Taige interrupted him, "Ed, I'm not interested in these numbers, can you explain it to me more simply."

Woodward slapped: "Simply put, with the current situation of Manchester United, you must at least break into the semi-finals in the Premier League and the Champions League every season, and it is best to win one or two championships. Only by staying strong at the competitive level, Only then can we continue to develop soundly at the business level. For the boss, making money is the first priority. Do you understand me when I say this?"

Jin Taige nodded: "Of course I can understand. It's the same for any boss. It's normal to put interests first."

Woodward gave him a blank look: "Tiger, can you say this a little more euphemistically... In all fairness, our boss has been pretty good all these years, at least he can invest a lot in the transfer market, But investment and return are directly proportional, so if you want to always get sufficient transfer funds, then you need to win more championships in terms of results."

"Tiger, the reason why I talked to you about this today is because the boss talked to me about the team's results a few days ago and asked me how far we can go this season."

"Oh? Then how did you answer?" Jin Taige looked at him with great interest.

Woodward said angrily: "At first, I wanted to say that I was not completely sure, but seeing the eager eyes of the boss, I took it back; but if I were to guarantee it in front of the boss, it would be unrealistic, so I Finally, tell him that your leadership performance this season will at least be better than last season."

Jin Taige nodded: "Ed, don't worry, if I make you a championship promise now, it's me bragging, but I guarantee that this season will definitely have a breakthrough compared to last season, I'm sure!"

"Okay, since that's the case, I'm relieved."

Leaving Woodward's office, Kintag went to the youth team training base. McGuinness saw Kintag coming, and he still had a look of resentment: "It's all your fault for renting out all my main players. It's been a tough game lately."

Jin Taige smiled: "I look at the recent youth league standings, we are still at the top of the list, 2 points higher than the No.6 Chelsea youth team."

"It's all because of the outstanding performance of those two lads," McGuinness pointed to the training field, and then showed a gratified smile on his face, "I guess it will take a few years for them to be taken away by you too." .”

"This is a good thing. It is also our responsibility to help them get out of here and move on to a bigger stage."

Looking at the lively young people on the court, Jin Taige recalled when he was in the youth team, and felt a little emotional for a while.

The two chatted, and McGuinness said: "In the youth league this season, we and Chelsea have been performing well. It is estimated that the final champion must be one of our two teams."

Kintag praised: "Chelsea's youth training system is considered top-notch in England, and they have produced many young rookies."

McGuinness asked: "Tiger, I think this year's Premier League is also the rhythm of our championship with Chelsea?"
