Chapter 359

Sitting in the living room of a villa on the outskirts of Manchester, Veron and agent Hidalgo were speechless.

He has never been a sensitive and vulnerable person, otherwise, during his time in Parma and Lazio, it is impossible for him to suppress Nedved, Simone and Crespo and become the real core of the team.

It is impossible to do without a strong heart.

But now, he looks depressed.

Before joining Manchester United, he was the star of Lazio and the top midfield in Serie A. he was even more popular than Zidane of Juve. Even Nedved could only play as his deputy.

But now, in just two years, Zidane has become the number one star in the world, and Nedved has become the star in charge of Juve. However, Veron, however, is depressed at Manchester United. His life is too unpredictable.

Sometimes, he even thinks that if there was no fake passport incident and he didn't leave Serie A, would it not happen again? Will he still be the white Wizard of that year?

Hypothetical things, no one knows, but the immediate problem is imminent.

"I talked to Ferguson He whispered.

"What did he say?" the agent, Fernando Hidalgo, raised a wave of hope

"He said..." Veron is a bit difficult to say, "... The management is responsible for the transfer."

Hidalgo was completely disappointed. "He was shirking, shirking irresponsibly."

"I know." Baron gave a bitter smile, "but he can't say something to his face."

Everyone can see that Manchester United's patience with him has reached its limit.

He is one of the highest paid players in the team, but almost everyone thinks that his performance is far below his salary.

Manchester United have given him two years and now it seems that they have run out of patience.

From the standpoint of businessmen, they have done nothing wrong, but... Is this a business?

"Juan, everyone knows that your performance at Manchester United is not bad. You have shown a high level in many games. What you need is trust, a better environment and space. After David left the team, they should give you more trust."

Hidalgo is obviously unhappy with Manchester United's decision because they didn't say that two years ago.

At the beginning, in order to invite Veron to Manchester United, they made a lot of promises, but they didn't fulfill all of them.

For example, they promised to tailor tactics for Veron, but in fact, this promise was only fulfilled in the early days. During that time, Veron also showed the same level as that of Serie A, and even won the Premier League player of the month.

But after an injury, Veron suspended, Ferguson returned to the traditional way of playing, the results also improved steadily, until Veron recovered, it is difficult to find a position in the team.

Scholes, David, Giggs, Keane, Gary Neville... How many years have they played in Manchester United? They have a tacit understanding with each other, and they are not in the same rhythm with Veron when they play football, which makes Veron difficult to adapt.

What's more, it's difficult for Veron to adapt to United's requirements for centre half, because he can't think about how to control the rhythm and sort out the midfield at the same time, and on the other hand, he has to withdraw the defense and fight actively. That's not what he is good at.

For these questions, Veron has mentioned them to Ferguson more than once, and the answers he got are to appease him and ask him to be patient enough. The coaching staff and management still trust him and so on.

But now it seems that Veron feels that he has overestimated his position and influence in Manchester United.

Even David can sell, let alone him?

Thinking of this, Baron let out a long sigh of melancholy, and the whole person looked up at the ceiling.

Leaving Manchester United like this?

In this way, in his career, leaving a dark section?

Fernando Hidalgo also has a headache because he can't do anything about it.

As an agent, he can talk to Manchester United's management and Ferguson, but the other side's attitude is so clear that it is difficult for him to recover. Therefore, the most sensible choice now is to find a good family and leave Manchester United.

But this is not something that Veron can accept emotionally.

He is a proud man. He was in the Premier League when he was staring at the title of the world's first midfield, but now he wants to leave like a lost dog. How can he accept it?

"I have been informed that there are two teams that have made it clear that they are interested in you

Veron still looked up and did not speak, but Hidalgo knew he was listening.

"Juve want to sell Davis, they want to get you and fill their midfield

Baron's hand on the leather of the sofa gave a distinct shake.

To Juve?

Isn't that for Nedved?

Hidalgo also understood Veron's thoughts, sighed in his heart and continued: "I heard that yesterday, Chelsea formally asked Manchester United for a price. They want to invite you to join the blues."

"Chelsea?" Belon finally looked at his agent, eyes a squint, "cold!"

When he was at Manchester United, he had a fight with Gao Han. He knew that the young manager was terrible. At the same time, he was able to feel Atletico Madrid's style of passing and controlling, which was quite suitable for his own technical characteristics.

"But they can't play in the Champions League, they can only play in the UEFA Cup Ida'ergo warned.

Baron nodded. He knew that.

If you go to Juve, you can play in the Champions League, but the tactical position will not be high.

It's also a big risk to go to Chelsea, because now everyone is doubting whether the cold pass and control play can adapt to the Premier League.

Veron is twenty-eight years old and in a few years' time, if the next team does the same thing as Manchester United, his career will be over.

At the moment when the Bailong Commission refused, the agent's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Hidalgo got on the phone, answered, and said, "he's right next to me." then he looked at Veron and covered the phone. "It's Alpine. He wants to talk to you."

Baron was surprised, but reached for the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Gao Han. This is Juan speaking."

"Hello, Juan." The voice of cold came from the phone.

"I won't say more polite words. I just want to ask you, are you willing to leave the Premier League like this?"

…………

In the head coach's office at Carrington training base, Ferguson was a bit on tenterhooks.

My brother, Martin Ferguson, has come back with the latest developments.

Eindhoven further raised his asking price for Arjan Robben, from the original five million euros agreed by the two sides to 10 million euros, which made Martin Ferguson return from Holland in vain.

"I've been in touch with Eindhoven and they've made it clear that at least that's the price." Martin Ferguson shook his head and sighed.

Arjen Robben is a very good player in Holland. He is Eindhoven's most potential star, but 10 million euro is a bit high because he has proved himself in the top league and the national team.

As the most outstanding player in the Dutch league last season, AJAX winger van der Meyde's value is just about this number, but Van der Meyde is 23 years old, more mature and stable, and also performs well in the national team.

Now, a Robben would cost 10 million euros, which is hard for Ferguson to accept.

"It seems that for Robben's valuation, we are very different from PSV." Ferguson said in a deep voice.

He has been in European football for many years and naturally knows this negotiation trick.

To put it bluntly, I want to raise the price.

"Martin, go to Blackburn and let us know that we have shifted our target to buy Duff."

Martin Ferguson immediately nodded.

It's also a common coping strategy to shift goals and compete with each other for patience.

Of course, from the valuation point of view, it is better to buy Robben for 10 million euro than Blackburn for Duff. At least the latter has proved his strength in the Premier League and there is no problem of adaptability.

On the contrary, it is still unknown whether Robben can adapt to the Premier League after he is introduced.

As the only club in European football that can be self financing and financially healthy, Manchester United's transfer strategy has always been skilful and pragmatic, especially after the failure of introducing Veron at a sky high price.

"What about Paris?" Asked Ferguson with concern.

Martin Ferguson shook his head. "There is still not much progress. Yesterday Peter Kenyon made an appointment with Paris Saint Germain president Francis graye, but they were rejected. They made it clear that they would not sit down with us if we did not increase the offer."

Manchester United's offer for Ronaldinho has been raised to 17 million euros, but there is still a big gap between the 30 million euros Paris Saint Germain wants, which is also the biggest obstacle for the two clubs to sit down and negotiate.

"But I received the news in Paris that their debt is very serious and they can't get rid of it. What's more, the media reported that Real Madrid was involved in the transfer, but in fact the situation is different

"What do you say?" Asked Ferguson with concern.

In the past few years, Manchester United has been one of the top clubs in European football, losing only to Real Madrid in terms of influence.

Therefore, Ferguson believes that for players of Ronaldinho's level, Manchester United's biggest competitor is the Galactic battleship, even Barcelona in La Liga are not paid attention to by them.

Everyone knows the situation of the latter in recent years. Moreover, this summer, Barcelona's top priority is internal cleaning, not recruitment.

"Real Madrid are really interested in Ronaldinho, but they are not in a hurry. They prefer to decide ahead of time and operate next year. However, Paris Saint Germain is in urgent need of money and it is impossible to accept Real Madrid's proposal."

Ferguson can't help laughing, "so Barcelona are eager to clean up. We are the only team interested in Ronaldinho in the transfer market."

Martin Ferguson nodded: "that's right."

"What does the management say?"

"Peter Kenyon told me that we should temporarily suspend our contact with Paris Saint Germain and the players, give them some pressure, let them take the initiative to lower the asking price first, and the players should also put some pressure on the club, which is conducive to our next negotiation

"Well," Ferguson nodded, "let's do what he wants. Let's put it on hold for a while. It's early July anyway. It's still early."

"I see." Martin Ferguson replied, "Oh, by the way, I just got the message."

"What?"

"Chelsea have a deal with Veron

"So fast?" Ferguson was a bit surprised.

"Yes, it's said that Gao Han himself came forward and called baron. This morning's decision."

Ferguson frowned.

Veron's strength, he is clear, but the Argentine midfield is really difficult to integrate into Manchester United's midfield.

But I went to Chelsea

Ferguson took a cool breath and thought it was not a good thing.

Even, vaguely, he had a very ominous premonition（ (to be continued.)
