Chapter 135 The French Storm 3
"Mr. Levy, our people have already contacted Monaco." George had not yet arrived in Metz, and received a call from the Blackburn staff on the way.

After entering Blackburn, George discovered the difference between Blackburn and Burnley.Burnley has been in the lower leagues of England for more than 20 years, and more time in the third and fourth divisions of England.As a result, there is a serious shortfall in various departments of the Burnley club.

Just like during the transfer, George basically ran around alone.The club can provide at most one or two staff members to follow.

But Blackburn is different. Since Jack Walker invested in Blackburn, all departments of Blackburn have been completed soon.Not only the scouting system is perfect, but the transfer department is also very perfect.After George took over Blackburn, these departments were handed over to George.

Except for some players that George needs to deal with personally, other transfers do not require George to do it himself.

The one calling George now is Richard Flynn, who is in charge of Blackburn's transfer, and it is Richard Flynn who has given full power to Monaco.

"Well, what do they think?" Monaco is a strong team in Ligue [-], and it is not sure whether they can snatch the player George from them.But George only knows one thing. Since the Bosman Act, it has been difficult for Ligue [-] teams to keep their players.

Among the five major European leagues, Ligue [-] teams have begun to lag behind the other four major leagues.For the Ligue [-] team, George knows that as long as he waves a check, basically there is nothing to deal with.Among the current Ligue [-] teams, there is no team as difficult as Lyon in the future.

"Giuly and Sagnol, they are not willing to sell. But it is not impossible, Giuly is a bit difficult. He just arrived in Monaco half a year ago and is a player that Monaco attaches great importance to. If you want to buy Giuly, the cost should exceed 500 million Pound sterling. As for Sagnol, 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 taking over Blackburn.After all, George did not know how many times he mocked Blackburn during his three years at Burnley.And no matter how good George's performance at Burnley is, he is just the head coach of a League One team.

At a young age, he is defiant and arrogant.And there are some doubts about Giuly and Sagnol that George likes.A regular club will not buy a player casually.When they take a fancy to a certain person, they will send scouts to follow up for a period of time.Then it will start.

But when George came to Blackburn, he had already locked in several players.As the head of the transfer department, Richard Flynn knew that George's move this time was quite big, involving more than ten players.Richard is not satisfied with such a large-scale signing.But since Blackburn is already in charge, he can only obey him.

George pondered for a moment, both Giuly and Sagnol George wanted it.However, the transfer price of Jiuli's worth exceeds 500 million pounds, which is unacceptable to George.

"Mr. Flynn, if Giuly's value is too high, then forget it. You can contact Sagnol's agent. Tell him, I promise to give him a main position. Then try to keep the price as low as possible. The transaction is successful within 300 million pounds. "300 million pounds is the bottom line that George can accept.

Although Sagnol is now the main player of Monaco, he has not yet entered the national team.In the current situation where defenders are generally not worth much, 300 million pounds is already a very high price.George hoped that the best deal could be around £200 million.

"Okay, I know what it means."

Hanging up the phone, George felt a little regretful.Giuly is a player that George likes very much, but his value is too high.George has too many players to buy this season, and it is not very cost-effective to buy Giuly for more than 500 million pounds.

However, it is also possible to buy Sagnol. With Sagnol, George will have the guarantee on the right side for the next ten years.

"Coach Levy, Robert is currently conducting the World Cup. We are going to talk about this issue after the World Cup is over." The words of the Mays official almost made George laugh out loud.George came to Metz today just for another general of France in the future.

That is, the left forward Robert Pires, who is known as the "Golden Left Corridor" at Arsenal in the future.Pires performed well in Metz, but Metz is a small club, and now it is impossible to keep Pires.

George first negotiated with Marseille when he went to France, because Marseille is also chasing Pires now.George doesn't want to face Marseille and affect the acquisition of Makelele and Gallas.So after getting Makelele and Gala done first, I went to Metz.

Hearing the words of the Metz official, George cursed inwardly.Shit World Cup, what does the French World Cup have to do with Pires.Although Pires performed well in France, he could not enter the main lineup of the French national team at all.

George knows that Marseille and Blackburn are both interested in Pires now, so Mays wants to make money in the middle.

"Although Pires performed well, he is not the main force of the French team. The current French team has Djorkaeff and Thierry Henry as priority over Pires. It is almost impossible for Pires to play." George smiled and told Metz officials say. "I know that Marseille is also pursuing Pires, but I think it should be more beneficial than Marseille selling us."

It is true that Marseille had already contacted Metz even before the end of Ligue 500, and the conditions they gave were also very good. The price of 1000 million pounds is almost an irresistible price in Ligue [-].Even Henry, who is now rising in Ligue [-], scored three goals in the World Cup in France, and when he moved to Juventus, it was only around [-] million pounds.

And Pires is only a little famous in Ligue 500 now, and he has not gained a foothold in the national team. £[-] million is expensive.Metz and Marseille were about to reach an agreement. At this time, Blackburn stepped in and made Metz urgently stop the negotiations with Marseille.

"Robert is a very good player in our club. I don't know how much Blackburn can pay?" The Metz official saw that George went straight, so there was no hypocrisy.Straight into the meat scene.

"550 million pounds, I believe this is the highest price among the clubs that quoted Pires. And for a substitute player of the French team, 550 million pounds, I think it is a very sincere price." George was not polite, He immediately called out his price.

When Pires moved to Arsenal two years later, it was only £600 million.Now George has shouted out £550 million, to the delight of Metz officials.

Although Marseille was hit and failed to recover, it is still a giant in Ligue [-].Monaco is currently a strong team in Ligue [-], but Metz is different.Metz is a small club. If they hadn't had a complete youth training mechanism, they wouldn't have been in Ligue [-].

£550 million is a very large amount of money for Metz.Although it is only 50 pounds more than Marseille, 50 pounds is a very considerable amount of money for a small Ligue [-] team like Metz.

In front of money, the previous negotiations are nothing.Although the negotiations between Metz and Marseille have almost reached a conclusion, but now someone has increased the price, of course they don't care about the previous negotiation results.

The negotiation process here quickly spread to the other side. When Marseille heard that Blackburn had offered £550 million, he gritted his teeth.Blackburn, that bastard, knew earlier that he shouldn't have sold Makelele and Gala so easily.

Although his teeth were itching with hatred in his heart, Marseille couldn't continue. 500 million pounds is already the limit that Marseille can pay.They can only curse inwardly, these upstarts from England.

But in desperation, Marseille can only give in.

"Coach Levy, the club agrees to negotiate with Blackburn and Pires."
