Marseille had already received the news and were very happy to hear that it was from the Premier League.

With the establishment of the Premier League, the English league began to get rid of the impact of the "Heysel tragedy" that year, and Premier League clubs began to become one of the mainstream leagues in European football. And the Premier League has also begun to spend money aggressively, although it is not as much as the Premier League burned money after Abu took over.

But it's not uncommon for English clubs to wave cheques and buy players in the European market. Because Premier League clubs are no longer short of money, it is very common to spend millions or tens of millions of pounds to buy players.

So Marseille certainly like to do business with Premier League clubs, especially when they hear that it is Blackburn. Blackburn is the first Premier League champion club to pile up money after the establishment of the Premier League. Behind them stood an English steel tycoon, Jack Walker.

Therefore, Marseille entertained Georges very warmly, and although they did not show it on their faces after seeing George, they were very surprised. The manager of a Premier League club is so young. When inadvertently asked about George's age, the surprise turned into shock.

It will take a few more months to be able to become thirty years old, what a young age.

After George sat down, there was no nonsense at all. directly stated his purpose.

"Claude?" The representative of the Marseille side repeated the question, and after hearing the affirmative answer, shook his head. "Coach Levy, La Liga's Celta de Vigo have made an offer of two million euros. The club's side also agreed to negotiate between Claude and Celta, and they should have already talked about it. ”

Celta, they're pretty fast. George's main purpose in coming to Marseille today is to reinstate a defensive blue-collar midfielder in the form of Claude Makelele.

What George wants most is the kind of midfielder who can attack and defend well, but this kind of midfielder is hard to come by. Defenders like Keane, Patrick Vieira and Redondo are rare in football, so George can only lower the bar.

Find a midfielder who can protect the penalty area, even if the offensive ability is lacking, but the defensive ability is strong. When it comes to such a player, the first thing that comes to mind for George is a person.

He has played for the likes of Real Madrid, albeit only for three years. However, it has contributed to the glory of Real Madrid at the beginning of the 21st century. But no one values him, and people's eyes are more focused on Ronaldo, Raul, Figo, and Zidane in front of him.

He wanted to raise his salary a little, but Florentino directly refused it. In Florentino's eyes, the work he did was only worth that little salary. It wasn't until he moved to Chelsea that his role was discovered. At the same time, Real Madrid had a shortage of defensive midfielders, and the decline in results made them more aware of his role.

He was George's target on this trip, Claude Makelele. Claude Makelle moved to Marseille last year and has been doing very well in Nantes before.

"Celta gave two million euros, and we are willing to turn the euro into pounds." Georges made an understatement, but it made the representatives of the Marseille club happy. He said that Celta and Makelle were close to an agreement, which was a bit of a lie.

In fact, Marseille has just received an offer from Celta and is about to agree. Don't look at the euro and the pound just different units, the pound exchange rate at this time is very high. A slight change can make a lot of difference.

Two million pounds, a good price for a player who hasn't even made it to the French national team. A smile immediately appeared on the face of the Marseille representative, who wondered how to make the most profit between Celta and Blackburn.

It's a pity that Celta immediately shrank back after hearing Blackburn's bid of two million pounds from the Premier League. Mom, the Premier League clubs have money. La Liga clubs are all poor jingles, and Celta is not Real Madrid or Barcelona. It doesn't matter if you're in debt for hundreds of millions of dollars.

After Celta retreated, only the Blackburns were left to buy Makelle.

"Two million pounds, for Makelele. We are willing to add £500,000 to this to buy William Garra. Hearing George's words, the Marseille representative hesitated. Galla is not an important player for Marseille. I didn't even play a few times last season, and I counted the number of appearances in a single slap.

But it doesn't mean that Galla is not famous, Galla is a member of the same French youth team as Thierry Henry and Trezeguet. He was also one of France's group of players who won the European Youth Championship. But unlike Thierry Henry and Trezeguet, who have become France internationals, Galla is not even a regular at Ligue 1 club Marseille.

However, Marseille still pay more attention to Galla, and their coaching staff agree that Galla still has great potential. But 500,000 pounds is a difficult refusal for Marseille.

"Give us a moment, I'll debrief."

…………

Two days later, Marseille agreed to Blackburn's offer.

Marseille is a little helpless, if six or seven years ago, Blake wanted to poach Marseille's players, it was a fantasy. This is true even with the Boseman Act. At that time, Marseille was a European powerhouse and a Ligue 1 powerhouse.

However, Marseille president Benede Tapi was later sentenced to one year in prison for bribing opposing players. And Marseille was also hit hard by this, and it has not been relieved to this day. It's just £2.5 million, and you can only sell players.

"I love France." George couldn't help but laugh. If it weren't for his bad voice, George would have wanted to sing it out here.

For two and a half million pounds, Makelle and Gala were bought. Such a good thing, who can reason with it.

If it takes another two years, the value of these two people will rise gradually. Now is the best chance to do it. I really like France, I like Ligue 1.

That is, now in France, Gala bought it for only half a million pounds. If in England, if England's youth team wins the European Youth Championships, then those young players don't know how far to go. If you don't pay millions of pounds, you won't even see the players.

"George, didn't we just want to buy Makelele? Why did you add Gala on the spot? "It's not that Evan is distressed about the 500,000 pounds, but he is just a little curious.

"Gala, I've been coveting him for a long time. I've been paying attention to him since he joined the French youth team. Burnley used to be in the lower leagues, so they didn't start. It was supposed to be bought this summer, but unfortunately ...... "Galla was in the future that George had set for Burnley, but now he had to bring Galla to Blackburn.

Evan shrugged, he hadn't heard of Gala. However, George has always had a good eye for people, and Evan did not raise any objections.

"Where are we going next?"

"Mace, there's a genius waiting for us there."
