Chapter 922
The outside world believes that Sun Wu is under great psychological pressure. The media began to discuss whether Manchester United's selection of Sun Wu was too rash. Even Manchester United star Scholes believed that it might be more appropriate for Sun Wu to delay for a few years.

Instead, Klopp and Guardiola publicly supported Sun Wu.

Uh, in the words of some fans on Twitter, the main reason is that Liverpool and Manchester City have won two league games in a row, while Manchester United has been left behind by 5 points with one draw and one loss.

The same is true inside the club. Mike Phelan mentioned Ferguson who had just taken office from time to time, and Rolf would mention Magath who was kicked out by Bayern Munich.

Even Woodward made a phone call to comfort... This call made Sun Wu suspicious. Generally speaking, the support of the club's top management is often a precursor to the head coach's dismissal.

But in fact, Sun Wu didn't have much psychological pressure, and he was even in the mood to accompany Christine to pick out a set of jewelry.

Sun Wu's confidence comes from the performance and state of the players on the training ground, and also from the game that just ended. Although they were tied, Manchester United's offense was not bad. The failure to win can only be said to be a non-war crime .

However, when Sun Wu was leisurely, the competitors were very busy.

On August 8, Guardiola let go of his favorite player Thiago who was not able to play, and the latter followed the original time and space trajectory to Bayern Munich.

However, Manchester City also snatched Juventus midfielder Vidal from Bayern Munich at the same time. One of the best B2B players in European football can bring hardness and more depth to Manchester City's midfield. I thought about it, but it was too expensive, and in San Dezi's mind he was not considered a superstar.

On August 8, Woodward's acquisition plan suffered a major setback. Dortmund coach Tuchel publicly stated that he would not let Aubameyang go. They had lost the defensive core Hummels.

In addition, Chelsea successfully acquired Atletico Madrid center Diego Coster at a high price of 3500 million pounds. In fact, Manchester United bid even higher, but Simeone is not willing to make Sun Wu cheaper...

Hey, if Simoniken is sold to Manchester United, Sun Wu also wants to remind him to remember to ask Porto for an instruction manual when acquiring Martinez.

On August 8, when Manchester United was about to welcome Tottenham Hotspur at home, the competition between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool over Sun Xingmin finally came to an end.

Tottenham took Sun Xingmin into his arms with a worth of 3600 million pounds, but the Korean is waiting for a medical examination in London and cannot play this round of the league.

That night, a disappointed Woodward found Sun Wu. The former looked vicissitudes, while the latter looked indifferent.

"That means no one can buy it?"

"Best, there are very few world-class centers on the market. You don't like Ibrahimovic, and you don't want Icardi and Higuain in Serie A." Woodward sighed: "You poached Lucas, Simeone is dead set on selling Diego Coste to Manchester United."

"Aubameyang has decided to stay in the team. You can't dig Lewandowski. Cavani and Aguero... They can't be sold to direct competitors." Sun Wu scratched his head a little. There are a lot of outstanding wingers in football, but top centers are really very, very rare.

Sun Wu glanced at the frustrated Woodward, "I have someone who is famous and a world-class center forward."

"Who?"

"But there are two problems." Sun Wu didn't say his name but asked the question first, "First, although he is not very old, he is in poor condition due to previous serious injuries.

Of course, this aspect is the job of the coaching staff. Second, his salary is too high. "

Combining the two conditions, Woodward, who has been buried in various materials for the past month, immediately found his target, "Monaco's Colombian center Falcao?"

"Well, you wanted to go on loan last year, but Chelsea took the lead." Sun Wu said without hesitation: "Later, Falcao was seriously injured at Chelsea and missed the World Cup last year. Last season, he only scored 12 goals in all competitions in Monaco. Goals, only six goals in the league, poor form."

Woodward's face darkened. Of course he remembered this. At that time, the team lacked outstanding centers. As a result, he was tricked by Mendes after he took office for only half a year. Falcao is on loan to Chelsea.

"The issue of status is left to the coaching staff. Falcao is a center who needs a high-level passer behind him." Sun Wu shrugged, "But my requirements remain the same. He cannot break Manchester United's salary cap."

"What about the lease?"

"Mendez is a black heart." Sun Wu reminded: "It is estimated that the loan alone will cost nearly 1000 million pounds. If Falcao is willing and the price is right, Manchester United can consider buying, but the condition is that he must accept a salary cut. .”

Regarding the choice of center forward, Sun Wu has long thought about it. Falcao is 28 years old this year. Although he has been a big hit in European football, he has never really entered a wealthy club. He went to the nouveau riche Chelsea and scored two goals. And he missed the World Cup with a serious injury.

Therefore, the transfer to Manchester United is very attractive to Falcao. This can be seen from the fact that Falcao joined Manchester United and Chelsea on loan for two consecutive years in his previous life.

And Sun Wu remembers very clearly that after Falcao returned to Monaco after his failed Premier League trip, with Bernardo Silva and Mbappe around him, Sidibe and Mendy on both wings, Falcao regained The status becomes "Tiger".

The current Manchester United has similar or even better conditions, and if it is really not possible, Sun Wu still has a status increase card in his hand.

Therefore, the question before him now is whether it is a lease or a purchase, and how much salary Manchester United needs to bear if it is a loan. If it is a purchase, Falcao is unwilling to cut his salary.

You know, the annual salary of Falcao's transfer to Monaco in 2013 was already 1400 million euros. Generally speaking, the salary of players has an increase of at least [-]% every year.

After two years, Falcao's current annual salary should be about 1600 million euros, a total of 1450 million pounds, and the weekly salary is about 29 pounds.

At present, the highest weekly salary of Manchester United is Sun Wu's 24 pounds, which obviously includes the salary of the head coach.

After the last discussion, Sun Wu, Woodward, Batty, and Mike Phelan made a simple plan.

If you rent out, the cost will not exceed 400 million pounds, and only half of the weekly salary will be borne. If you choose to buy out after the end of the season, the contract will be negotiated separately, but the contract period is only two years.

For direct acquisition, the transfer fee is not higher than 2000 million pounds, the weekly salary is not higher than 20 pounds, and the contract period is four years.

That night, when Mendes got the fax, he couldn't help cursing in his heart, Woodward... no!Best is such a thief!
As the most successful agent in Europe, Mendes relies not only on his contacts, but also on the level of after-sales service which is the biggest reason why many players and clubs choose him.

Mendes is very aware of Falcao's yearning for a wealthy family... To put it bluntly, he has made enough money in Monaco, what he lacks now is honor.

In Chinese, that is, enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace.

And the conditions given by Manchester United...a two-year contract and a four-year contract, this is almost clearly provoking the relationship between Mendes and Falcao.

Mendes believes that if he persuades Falcao to reject Manchester United's direct acquisition, it is likely that the two will part ways.

For Falcao, who is 28 years old and whose state declined sharply last season, this is the last possibility for his career to enter a wealthy club.
