"Mr. Marshall, time is precious, and I will not say more about those superfluous words here. I believe you should know very well in your heart that from the current situation, it is impossible for Gerrard to continue to play at Liverpool. Knowing that Gerrard's departure from Liverpool was inevitable, George simply and selectively ignored Marshall's deliberate coldness. It's just that at this time, he no longer has the gentle tone he had before when he spoke, "In that case, then you might as well think more about Gerald's future development." After all, there aren't many clubs that can afford to meet the demands of both Steven Gerrard and Liverpool, and who have enough interest in Gerrard's transfer. At least, I think Tottenham are arguably the most sincere of them all. ”

"Yes, Mr. Viscount, you are right, and it is indeed a dereliction of duty on my part as a professional agent to bring resentment to work. Hearing George's words, Marshall sighed, and his words were no longer as sharp as before, "To be honest with you, I personally don't want to see Steven leave Liverpool." Because only in Liverpool can Steven enjoy the treatment of the absolute core, so that the whole team runs around him. And once he leaves Liverpool, then neither at Tottenham nor at Chelsea, he will not get this level of attention!"

In fact, the reason why Marshall's attitude has changed so quickly is partly because things are indeed as George said, Gerrard, who has been completely disappointed in Liverpool, will definitely choose to leave this summer, and as Gerrard's agent, Marshall really should not show such a rejection attitude. On the other hand, this deliberate indifference is also a way for Marshall to test whether the other side is sincere enough to bring in Gerrard - if the other side does not even have this amount of energy to directly declare the negotiation failing, then Marshall will not be stupid enough to take the initiative to promote Gerrard with the other party.

Although Marshall does not want to see Steven Gerrard leave Anfield, he can only respect the other party's opinion and choose the team that is best for his career development when Gerrard has already made up his mind.

Among these clubs interested in bringing in Steven Gerrard, Manchester United are clearly in the throes of a new generation after the departure of Becky, and even if Gerrard goes at this time, it will be difficult for him to get the trophy he desires in a short period of time. Not to mention, with the sworn enemy relationship between Liverpool and Manchester United, David Morse, no matter how greedy he is for money, will never dare to sell his captain to Old Trafford despite the anger of Liverpool fans!

Therefore, even for the sake of fame, Gerrard will not be able to join Manchester United. Because if this happens, then Gerrard will definitely surpass Campbell and become the number one "Judas" in the eyes of fans!

After excluding the option of Manchester United, as well as teams such as Arsenal and Real Madrid, who are clearly just here to join in the fun, Gerrard can only choose between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur!

Looking at Chelsea, Roman Abramovich and Kenyon are indeed sincere, not only offering Gerrard a transfer fee of up to £32 million, but also publicly promising to offer the Reds captain a five-year contract with an annual salary of £5 million. Manager Jose Mourinho also welcomed Gerrard's arrival, claiming that he had come up with a solution to the problem of coexistence between the two Germans that the England national team has struggled with for several years!

Chelsea are willing to spend a lot of money on Steven Gerrard, and Tottenham's offer is no worse. After the talks began, George put the contract that had been prepared directly in front of Marshall - a five-year, 105,000-a-week contract that translates to an adult salary of about 5.5 million pounds, not including bonuses!

Marshall would obviously be lying if he said he was not shocked by George's contract. You must know that Beckham, who is England's number one star, has an annual salary of only 7.5 million euros (about 5 million pounds) at Real Madrid at this time. Therefore, Tottenham's personal treatment for Gerrard is enough to make any player excited!

"Mr. Viscount, I think you have succeeded in impressing me with your actions. After carefully reading the contract in front of him and finding that there were no problems or pitfalls in this contract, as long as the player himself signed it, Marshall immediately made a decision that Liverpool fans later called "never forgivable", "I can promise you this contract on behalf of Steven." As long as you can convince Liverpool to release him, then I will get Steven to sign the contract as soon as possible!"

Although there has been no substantive contact with Chelsea, Marshall has already made a judgment and decided to reach this private agreement with Tottenham: "There is one thing I have to make clear, though. That is, when you negotiate a transfer fee with Liverpool, we will not help Tottenham to do anything to lower the price!"

"No problem, I didn't think about doing that. For Marshall's condition, George naturally agreed. After all, this kind of behavior of letting players help put pressure on the opposing club to lower the transfer fee is too bad and will have a huge negative impact on the player's own reputation, and it is not in line with George's plan to build Gerrard into one of the leaders of Tottenham's homegrown gang.

The reason why Marshall chose to reach an agreement with Tottenham so decisively, rather than shop around and look at Chelsea's conditions before making a decision, is that among the several clubs that can now afford to bring in Gerrard, the Reds captain himself wants to join the team that Tottenham Hotspur wants to join the most!

So, when Marshall was satisfied with George's offer, Chelsea actually had no chance of competing with Tottenham for Steven Gerrard!

"I think we'll meet again soon," George stood up and extended his right hand when he saw that Gerald's side had done his work, "So, Mr. Marshall, good cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation!" Seeing this, Marshall hurriedly stretched out his right hand and shook it with George, and said with a smile, "Then Steven and I are waiting in Liverpool for the good news you bring to Mr. Viscount!"

In this way, after reaching an agreement with Marshall on Gerrard's personal treatment, and getting the former's assurance, George immediately dialed Marotta's phone and officially launched a transfer offensive against Gerrard!
