Chapter 78 Jose Ortera

Wilson has been a little angry recently. Some time ago, he had already rejected many clubs' offers for Zhang Xu, but this did not stop their determination to acquire Zhang Xu.

Perhaps they all know the financial situation of Sheffield United. Although Sheffield United successfully advanced to the British Championship, they borrowed a huge amount of 3800 million pounds at the beginning of the year in order to be able to qualify for the British Championship. Now it is time to repay it.

But now the club can't come up with that much money at all, so they have to sell players to get cash.At present, the most valuable player in the team must be Zhang Xu, who the team bought for only 50 euros.

In just half a season, Zhang Xu's value has doubled several times, and a club has already offered 180 million pounds!It is believed that there will be higher quotations in the future. In this way, the financial pressure on the club can be greatly relieved.

The transfer market will reopen soon, presumably the competition among various clubs will intensify, since it has been decided to sell Zhang Xu, let's maximize Zhang Xu's value.

Wilson sighed, looked helplessly at the quotation list on the desk, and picked out several clubs with the highest quotations.

这几家分别是：英冠水晶宫队出价160万英镑！法兰克福队出价200万欧元！拉科鲁尼亚队开价180万英镑！阿森纳队开价160万英镑！法甲里尔队开价200万欧元！
In it, Wilson directly excluded the Crystal Palace team from the British Championship. He didn't want to send such an excellent player as Zhang Xu to his opponent.In addition, what shocked him the most was that Arsenal also made an offer to Zhang Xu, but he was relieved when he thought of Zhang Xu's agent Anderson.

But he is not optimistic about Zhang Xu joining Arsenal. With Zhang Xu's current strength, Zhang Xu can't gain a foothold.

Wilson is most optimistic about Frankfurt and Deportivo, one is the Bundesliga and the other is La Liga.But which club can get Zhang Xu depends on whether they can reach an agreement with Zhang Xu.

Thinking of this, he directly called Zhang Xu.

"Boss, why are you calling me so late?" Zhang Xu's voice came from the receiver of the phone.

"That's it. Regarding your transfer issue, do you have any plans?"

"Sorry, boss, so far, my agent has not discussed the transfer with me. Do you have any suggestions?" Zhang Xu was silent for a while, and then asked Wilson for his opinion.

After Wilson told Zhang Xu about the bids from the selected clubs, he said, "These are the only bids that the clubs may agree to at present. You can think about it carefully. I"

"Okay, thank you boss! I won't consider the Crystal Palace team, so as not to embarrass you, right? Others, let me see what conditions they give me. I will contact my agent immediately and ask him to contact several other clubs."

"Okay, Zhang, I hope you can give me an accurate answer as soon as possible, so that I can communicate with the club chairman. You are my favorite and proudest disciple, and I will not stop you!" Wilson sighed and said helplessly.

Zhang Xu was silent again, and after a while, he said slowly: "Boss, thank you! I will always be your disciple, and I will always be a member of the blade!"

After hanging up the phone, Wilson shook his head and put Zhang Xu's affairs aside.He still has more important things to do. The team has advanced to the British Championship. If he wants to stay in the British Championship this season, it is not enough to rely on the current strength of the team. The team must be replenished with fresh blood to comprehensively enhance the strength of the team.

After receiving the call from head coach Wilson, Zhang Xu pondered for a long time before calling Anderson.

"Old man, how is your negotiation going on with my transfer?" Zhang Xu asked directly without politeness.

"Boy, I'm about to call you. According to the requirement that you must join the top league, I have selected three clubs from among many clubs, namely Arsenal, Frankfurt and Deportivo." Anderson replied.

"Thank you, old man, what about the conditions they gave me?"

"Arsenal's treatment for you is good. The weekly salary after tax is 12000 pounds, but the contract must be signed for at least three years. However, Dr. Wenger can't give you the treatment of a main player. That is to say, your chance to play has to be fought for by your own strength."

"The treatment Frankfurt gives you is an annual salary of 80 euros after tax. If calculated as a weekly salary and pounds, the weekly salary is about 11000 pounds. Frankfurt can ensure that you have ten opportunities to play in a season, and the contract must be signed for at least two years."

"Deportivo will give you the lowest treatment. The annual salary after tax is 75 euros. The contract must be signed for at least two years. Deportivo has not given you the guarantee of the main players, but their head coach, Mr. Jose Ortra, wants to talk to you face to face."

Hearing this, Zhang Xu was taken aback for a moment, and he asked curiously, "Let's talk face to face? Old man, do you think we need to talk?"

"Talk about it!" Anderson paused for a moment and said something casually.

"So there is no room for negotiation between Arsenal and Frankfurt?" Deportivo had just been promoted from La Coruna, and Zhang Xu was not very satisfied, so he was more willing to continue to discuss with Arsenal and Frankfurt.

"I have been in contact with the head coaches of the two clubs. Unfortunately, this is the best condition I can strive for." Anderson replied.

"Oh, well, old man, thanks! What about your suggestion?"

"My suggestion? I think Arsenal can be considered. After all, Wenger is better at training young players, which is more important to you, right?" Anderson is worthy of being Arsenal's "queen scout" and directly favors Arsenal.

But Anderson didn't know that Zhang Xu's growth had little to do with the coach, the most important thing was the system.In order to maximize the function of the system, there must be a large number of games as support, which is obviously not what the current Arsenal can provide.

Zhang Xu smiled and said, "Okay, old man, I understand, let me think about it, how about it?"

"Okay, kid, this is indeed a very important hurdle for you, and it will take a long time, so don't rush to make a decision, think it over carefully!" Anderson said earnestly.

"Understood! Thank you, old man!" After expressing his thanks, Zhang Xu hung up the phone.The time is indeed very long. From the opening of the transfer market on July 7 to the closing of the transfer market on September 1, there are still two months, which is enough for him to think clearly.

Therefore, Zhang Xu temporarily put aside the transfer matter and continued to train hard in the Xiangtao team.

However, the development of things often goes beyond people's expectations.

Three days later, when Zhang Xu had just finished a day of training and was about to have dinner with Nicola, he received a call that surprised him.

"Hi, you're Zhang, right? I'm Jose Ortera, the head coach of Spain's Deportivo Football Club." A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone, speaking in Spanish.

"Ah? Oh, hello, Mr. Jose Ortera, what can I do for you?" Zhang Xu said in surprise.

"I'm already in Xiangzhong City, your hometown. Are you free today? I want to chat with you alone, is that okay?"

"What?! You have come to China?" Zhang Xu was taken aback. He never thought that Jose Ortera would make a special trip to China for him!

"That's right. I'm going to stay at the most famous Swan Hotel in Xiangzhong City. How about we meet there?"

"Okay, let's meet at the hotel's coffee shop at 8:08 p.m.!" Zhang Xu looked at the sweat all over his body, and he and Nicola were already hungry, so he set a time to meet at 30:[-] p.m.

"Okay! See you at 08:30 in the evening!" Jose Ortera finished and hung up the phone.

"Whose phone is it?" Nicola asked curiously after seeing Zhang Xu put down the phone, still looking shocked.

"Mr. Jose Ortera, the head coach of Deportivo, in order to find me, he even made a special trip to China to find me!"

"Come to China?? Oh, my God, it's unbelievable! From this point of view, my dear, the Deportivo team is very sincere!" Nicola was also very surprised by the arrival of Jose Ortera.

"Yes, if, I mean, if Deportivo can secure my main position, I don't think there is any harm in joining Deportivo!" Zhang Xu nodded and said, what he needs most now is a large number of competitions. If Mr. Jose Ortra can satisfy, why not pay less?

At 08:30 in the evening, Zhang Xu and Nicola came to the coffee shop of the Swan Hotel hand in hand, where Jose Ortera and an old man were already sitting there waiting.

"Hello, Mr. Jose Ortra, this is my girlfriend Nicola. I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Zhang Xu stepped forward with a smile, shook hands with Jose Ortra and the old man, introduced Nicola, and then both parties sat down.

"Haha, Zhang, you're welcome! We've only just arrived. This is Mr. Ross, a senior ball explorer of our club. He also discovered you and strongly recommends you to join us!" Jose Ortera pointed to the old man next to him and introduced him.

"Hello, Zhang, I believe my vision is correct, you will definitely become a top superstar!" Soros said confidently after shaking hands with Zhang Xu.

"Thank you!" Zhang Xu nodded to Soros and smiled modestly.

Presumably Jose Ortera was able to come to China to meet him, and Soros also played a role in it.
