What Li Shuai didn't know was that at the moment at Manchester United Club, in Ferguson's office, Ferguson was studying the video of Shinji Kagawa's game.

Ferguson did initially be interested in Dutchman Sneijder, but Inter Milan offered Sneijder no less than £30 million, and the player himself wanted to receive a weekly salary of no less than £200,000.

In Ferguson's view, it was not cost-effective to get Sneijder from Inter Milan at such a huge cost, and the deal was ultimately shelved.

After that, with the feedback of the club's scouts, Borussia Dortmund's Japanese star Shinji Kagawa stepped into Ferguson's field of vision, and so far this season, he has scored 6 goals and assisted 6 goals in 24 appearances, which is quite a good statistic.

However, Ferguson is not entirely obsessed with data.

Through the analysis of the game video, Ferguson found that Shinji Kagawa is a very technical player with outstanding skills, and the biggest characteristic is that he has a flexible mind, thinks quickly, and can react and make decisions in the fastest time.

"This guy will definitely make his own contribution to the team." Ferguson nodded secretly.

However, he also had doubts, and Ferguson was unsure whether Shinji Kagawa's physical confrontation would be able to play to his passing and shooting skills when the defenders were pressing.

One of the reasons why Ferguson likes Japanese stars is because of competition, and Shinji Kagawa is indeed a good player.

On the other hand, as Sneijder's alternative, Shinji Kagawa's price will definitely not be too high, and the salary will definitely be much lower than Sneijder's.

Manchester United are now in dire need of a midfielder, and for a variety of reasons, Shinji Kagawa is indeed a good option in Ferguson's mind.

Ferguson, who has always been resolute, quickly found a relationship and contacted Shinji Kagawa's agent.

Unlike the Premier League, the Bundesliga has a month-long winter break.

Shinji Kagawa's agent quickly informed Shinji Kagawa, who was on vacation, of Manchester United's intention to sign him in the winter.

Shinji Kagawa heard the news from his agent and thought at first that he had misheard.

A Japanese player who has only been in the Bundesliga for just over a season, he has been outstanding this season, even though he helped the team to a long-awaited league title last season.

Every player has a dream of a big club, and the same is true of Shinji Kagawa, Manchester United is such a big club.

The opportunity came so quickly, so suddenly, that Shinji Kagawa was a little caught off guard.

However, since there is such an opportunity, Shinji Kagawa naturally does not want to miss it easily, after analyzing his prospects for a transfer to Manchester United with his agent.

Came to the same conclusion as Li Shuai!

Manchester United are really in desperate need of a midfielder, which means that his move to Manchester United will give him a good chance of starting the line-up.

With such an inference, Kagawa Shinji's heart immediately became hot, and he couldn't wait to dial Ferguson's phone and chat with Ferguson on the phone for two hours.

After hanging up the phone, Shinji Kagawa immediately dialed the agent's phone again.

"I've decided, I'm going to move to Manchester United, you help me inform Dortmund and make sure they agree to the transfer." There was no hiding the excitement in his voice.

As early as after receiving the news that Manchester United were interested in Shinji Kagawa, the agent's heart was already on fire.

As an agent, the agent can earn a lot of commissions when their players transfer.

And it is also a transfer to a world-famous club like Manchester United, as long as Shinji Kagawa can play at Manchester United, whether it is for agents or players, the benefits that can be obtained are unimaginable.

At first, he was afraid that Shinji Kagawa would change his mind after talking to Ferguson, and he deliberately prepared a lot of rhetoric to make Shinji Kagawa agree to transfer to Manchester United.

Hearing that Shinji Kagawa agreed to this transfer, he didn't have to bother much, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief as an agent.

…………

Shinji Kagawa's agent was excited and approached the top management of the Dortmund club to express his wishes on behalf of the player.

The top management of the Dortmund club did not agree, but they did not say they did not agree.

It is clear that Shinji Kagawa, despite his excellent performance in the team, is by no means for sale in the eyes of the team's top management.

Borussia Dortmund had just won the league title last season, but they were not part of a real buying club.

Buying players at a low price and then selling them at a high price is also one of their business characteristics.

The attitude of the club's top management relieved Shinji Kagawa's agent, and as a professional agent, he naturally knew what such an attitude represented.

Next, it is only necessary to wait for Manchester United's offer for Dortmund, and as long as the price is right, the transfer of Shinji Kagawa is not a problem.

Unless absolutely necessary, no agent wants to offend the club because of the transfer of his players.

Maybe in the future, your players will still play in this club, and the same applies abroad with multiple "friends" and multiple paths.

…………

Manchester United sent an offer for Shinji Kagawa for £10 million, equivalent to around €12 million, a fairly sincere offer.

However, what the top management of Dortmund Club did not expect was that there was a strange loan request.

The loan request states that Manchester United want to loan a player to them, and if they agree to the loan, not only will it not cost even a dime, but they will also receive a £3 million development fee.

Of course, the money cannot be given for nothing, and the conditions put forward by Manchester United must be met, which is that the loanee must be included in the team's 18-man squad.

The club's senior management knows very well that in the team's 18-man squad, except for the starting 11, there is always one, or so many, among the remaining 7 people, who play soy sauce and sit on the cold bench.

It's not that hard to meet this clause.

However, what is even more wonderful is that they found out that the player that United are planning to come on loan is called Li Shuai, and he is still a Chinese player.

For the Dortmund executives, who are eager to open up China's huge fan market, it is simply overjoyed.

As long as they put such a player on the team's bench, they will undoubtedly gain the eyes of countless Chinese fans.

If you have money to get, you can effectively expand the Chinese market, and complete the planning of the club, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone, so why not.

However, when the club's management handed over Manchester United's offer for Shinji Kagawa and Manchester United's loan request to the team's manager Jurgen Klopp for advice.

Klopp, who is determined to defend his title, unceremoniously rejected the transfer of Shinji Kagawa.

He smiled even more when he saw United's loan request.

An 18-year-old Chinese kid, although he was given money, wanted to be on the team's 18-man squad when he came on loan, and he also had to guarantee playing time.

How is this possible, isn't it funny?

Although the club's hierarchy were keen to negotiate with Manchester United over the transfer of Shinji Kagawa, especially the loan of Li Shuai, the club's manager Jurgen Klopp's refusal was resolute and left them helpless.

Last season, Klopp led Dortmund, just won the club's nine-year league title, as the team's recovery of the meritorious coach, although the European competition was not strong, the group stage ranked fourth, was eliminated, but there is no doubt that Klopp in Dortmund, still has a high authority.

As a result, due to Klopp's strong intervention, not only Li Shuai's loan, but even Kagawa Shinji's transfer has also reached a stalemate.

…………

Of course, Li Shuai couldn't have known about these things that happened between the two clubs.

At the moment, he is at home with Pogba, watching the live broadcast of the FIFA 2011 Awards ceremony at the Zurich Opera House.

FIFA's "World Footballer of the Year" and "French Football" "Ballon d'Or" were merged into the FIFA Ballon d'Or in the last edition, and this is the 21st FIFA Best Player Award and the 56th Ballon d'Or.

The managers and captains of the national teams, as well as the designated media reporters of France Football, are eligible to vote, and last month FIFA announced the top three players in the vote: Messi, Xavi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Who's going to be the flower will be revealed today.

As the awards ceremony progressed, Brazilian football superstar Ronaldo announced that Messi had 44.78% of the votes, beating Cristiano Ronaldo's 21.60% and Xavi's 9.23%.

Won the FIFA Golden Ball Award for 2 consecutive years, becoming the first men's football player in history to be elected FIFA Player of the Year for 3 consecutive years.

Li Shuai and Pogba were in front of the computer, watching the moment when Messi received the "Golden Ball", the highest individual honor in football.

The two clenched their fists, their bodies trembling involuntarily, they glanced at each other, and each could feel the excitement in their hearts at the moment and the fiery fighting spirit from each other's eyes.

The two guys nodded in unison, a wordless tacit understanding.

"One day, we will stand on this stage and become the best in the world!"

"Definitely!"
