"Mr. Levy, our men have been in contact with the Monaco side." George hadn't yet arrived at Metz and received a call from Blackburn staff halfway through.

It was only after entering Blackburn that George discovered the difference between Blackburn and Burnley. Burnley have been roaming the lower divisions of England for more than two decades, and have spent more time in the third and fourth divisions of England. As a result, there is a serious shortage of seats in all departments of Burnley Club.

Just like when it comes to transfers, it's basically George who runs around alone. The club is able to provide a maximum of one or two staff members to follow.

But Blackburn Rovers is different, and since Jack Walker's investment in Blackburn, Blackburn has quickly completed all departments. Not only is the scouting system perfect, but the transfer department is also very well-developed. When George took over Blackburn, these departments were in the hands of George.

With the exception of some players that George needs to deal with personally, other transfers don't require George to be involved.

The person calling George now is Richard Flynn, who is in charge of Blackburn's transfer, and it is Richard Flynn who is in charge of the transfer at Monaco.

"Well, what do they think?" Monaco are a Ligue 1 powerhouse and it is uncertain whether they will be able to snatch the player George from them. But George only knows that Ligue 1 teams have struggled to keep their players since the Boseman Act.

Among Europe's top five leagues, Ligue 1 teams have begun to lag behind the other big four. For Ligue 1 team, George knows that as long as he waves a check, there is basically nothing he can't do. Among the current Ligue 1 teams, there is no team as difficult as Lyon in the future.

"Gyuli and Sagnol, neither of them are willing to sell. However, it is not completely impossible, and Jiuli has some difficulties. He arrived at Monaco just six months ago and is a player that Monaco values very much. If you want to buy Juli, it should cost more than five million pounds. As for Sagnol, as long as the price is right, there should be no problem. And it's not too expensive. ”

Richard Flynn was actually unhappy with George's move to Blackburn. After all, during his three years at Burnley, George didn't know how many times he mocked Blackburn. And even if George has a good record at Burnley, he is just the manager of the League One team.

At a young age, there is no one in his eyes, and his arrogance is boundless. And there are also some doubts about Giuli and Sagnol, who are favored by George. A regular club, when buying a player, will not just start. When they take a fancy to someone, they will send scouts to follow them for a while. And then you start.

But George has already locked up several players when he arrives at Blackburn. As the head of the transfer department, Richard Flynn knew that George's move was quite large, involving more than 10 players. With such a large number of reinforcements, Richard was not satisfied. But since he has already entered Blackburn, he can only obey him.

George pondered for a moment, what both Gyuli and Sagnol George wanted. However, Giuli is worth more than five million pounds in a transfer price, which is something that George cannot accept.

"Mr. Flynn, if Jiuli is too valuable, then forget it. You get in touch with Sagnol's agent. Tell him that I promised to give him a workhorse position. Then try to keep the price as low as possible, within three million pounds, and the transaction is successful. "Three million pounds is the bottom line that George can accept.

Although Sagnol is now a regular for Monaco, he has not yet made it to the national team. At a time when defenders are generally not worth much, £3 million is already a very high price. George hopes it would be best to sell for around two million pounds.

"Okay, I know what that means."

Hanging up the phone, George had some regrets. Gyuli 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 too cost-effective to buy Giuli for more than five million pounds.

But it's also possible to be able to buy Sagnol, and with Sagnol, George has the right side of the road for the next ten years.

"Coach Levy, Robert is playing the World Cup right now. We're going to talk about that after the World Cup. The words of the Metz officer almost made George laugh out loud. Georges is here today for another great French general.

That is, the left wing-back Robert Pire, who will be known as the "golden left corridor" at Arsenal in the future. Piret has done well in Metz, but Metz is a small club and it can't keep Pire anymore.

Georges went to France to negotiate with Marseille first, and the reason is that Marseille is now also chasing Pire. George didn't want to go up against Marseille and influence the acquisition of Makelele and Gala. So after getting Makelele and Gala first, I went to Metz.

Hearing the words of the Metz officer, George cursed in his heart. What does the bullshit World Cup, the France World Cup have to do with Pire. Although Piret performed well in France, he could not enter the main squad of the French national team at all.

George knew that it was now Marseille and Blackburn who were both interested in Pire, so Metz wanted to make money in the middle.

"Piret was doing well, but he wasn't a regular for France. The current French team has Djokaeff and Thierry Henry all have priority over Pire, and it is almost impossible for Pire to play. George smiled and spoke to Officer Mace. I know Marseille are also pursuing Pire, but I think it would be more advantageous than Marseille selling to us. ”

It is true that Marseille had been in contact with Metz even before the end of Ligue 1, and the terms they gave were very good. The price of five million pounds, which is almost an irresistible price in Ligue 1. Even Thierry, who is now on the rise in Ligue 1, scored three goals in the World Cup in France, and when he moved to Juventus, it was only around 10 million pounds.

And Pire, on the other hand, is only slightly famous in Ligue 1 now, and he has not established himself in the national team. Five million pounds is expensive. Both Metz and Marseille were about to reach an agreement, when Blackburn stepped in and made Mace urgently stop the negotiations with Marseille.

"Robert is a very good player for our club, I don't know how much Blake could have paid?" The Metz officials saw George go straight in, so there was no hypocrisy. directly entered the meat play.

"Five and a half million pounds, which I believe is the highest price of any club that has made an offer for Pire. And for a French substitute, £5.5 million, I think is a very sincere price. George was not polite, and directly shouted his price.

When Pire moved to Arsenal two years later, it was £6 million. Now George shouted five and a half million pounds, which made the hearts of the officials of Metz happy.

Although Marseille has been hit and has not been able to recover, it is still a Ligue 1 giant. Monaco are the current Ligue 1 powerhouse, but Metz is different. Metz is a small club, and if they didn't have a well-established youth development system, they wouldn't be able to stay in Ligue 1.

Five and a half million pounds is a very large sum of money for Metz. Although it is only 500,000 pounds more than Marseille, 500,000 pounds is a very considerable amount of money for a small Ligue 1 team like Metz.

In front of money, what is the previous negotiation. Although the negotiations between Metz and Marseille are almost final, now that someone has raised the price, of course, they don't care about the results of the previous negotiations.

The negotiation process from one side soon spread to the other side, and Marseille gritted their teeth when they heard that Blackburn had made a bid of £5.5 million. Blackburn, the bastard, knew he shouldn't have sold Makelele and Gala so easily.

Although his heart was itching with hatred, Marseille could not continue. Five million pounds is already the limit of what Marseille can do. In their hearts, they can only secretly curse, this group of nouveau riche from England.

But Marseille, in desperation, can only back down.

'Coach Levy, the club agreed to negotiate with Blackburn and Pire.
