Ruhr area

Woodward acted quickly to sign 17-year-old Alli, pleasing Tiger.

Tiger e was not idle either. He personally traveled to Bolton, a city in the north of England, to meet his second transfer target, Marcos Alonso, the left-back from Bolton Wanderers in the Championship.

Alonso's contract had just expired, and he was in talks with Bolton Wanderers about renewing it. Then, this morning, he received a surprising phone call from Italy. Fiorentina was interested in signing him.

This made Alonso ecstatic. He went from the Championship to Serie A, like a dream come true. He asked Fiorentina about their plans for him, and they told him they would sign him first and then loan him to the Premier League for one or two years to develop his skills. If he improved enough, they would recall him to the club and start him as a substitute.

Alonso was a little disappointed after hearing this. He had an outstanding performance in the Championship this year and had attracted some interest from Premier League clubs. He understood that these clubs were more interested in him as a free agent. It was still uncertain whether he would get to play in games after the transfer.

Furthermore, Alonso understood that there is not much space for attacking full-backs like him in Serie A, and staying in the faster-paced English league is the best option, and going on loan to the Premier League is not a bad idea.

Alonso was considering his options when someone came to visit him at his home.

He opened the door to see a stranger, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Alonso asked.

"Are you Marcos Alonso?" the visitor asked him straightforwardly.

Alonso was stunned, "I am Alonso, who are you?"

The visitor handed him a business card, and Alonso was amazed after reading it, "Tiger? Manchester United manager?"

Tiger smiled at him and said, "Won't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"

"Oh, please come in," Alonso invited him into his house and offered him a seat. Alonso did not understand why this young manager of Manchester United, who had recently been questioned, was appearing at his doorstep.

When Tiger revealed his intentions, Alonso was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. "Mr. Taige, you want to sign me?" he asked.

"That's right," Tiger replied.

Alonso's heart was racing. After calming down for a moment, he asked, "Does Manchester United need a backup left-back now?"

Tiger e shook his head. "Marcos, Manchester United doesn't need a backup left-back right now, but we are in need of a starting left-back."

"What do you mean?" Alonso asked.

"You are the starting left-back I have been looking for, Mr. Marcos," Tiger said, staring at Alonso with a determined gaze.

Alonso still couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Marcos, you know that my time is precious, so the fact that I came here in person to ask you shows my sincerity," Tiger continued. Suddenly, he stood up and extended his hand to Alonso. "Come to Manchester United, let's create an era together!"

Alonso was instantly ignited by Tiger's words. He reached out his hand and shook it tightly with Tiger.

The next morning, in the office of Manchester United Football Club, Alonso signed his name on a five-year contract, and Tiger looked at him with a smile on his face, feeling extremely excited. This Spanish left-back who had been dominating the left side for Chelsea was finally recruited under his command.

Alonso was a free transfer, and the transfer fee was 0. Tiger still had 50 million transfer funds to use.

Buy players, continue.

The buying target in England was over, and Jin Taige's next stop was Germany. Woodward, along with several transfer negotiation experts, followed Tiger ge to Germany.

Tiger's first stop was the famous industrial area of ​​the Ruhr in Germany.

On the way to a coffee shop in Dortmund, Woodward said to Jin Taige in the car, "Tiger, I apologize for my words a few days ago. I don't actually not know all 15 people on your list. I am very familiar with one of them, the person we are going to meet now. I know him very well."

"He is one of the few comprehensive center forwards in today's world football. If we can bring him to Manchester United, and add Van Persie and Rooney, it will form a terrifying attacking line that will shake Europe." Tiger said with his eyes closed, leaning back in the car seat to relax.

Woodward continued excitedly, "And his contract with Dortmund will expire next year, so the transfer fee shouldn't be too outrageous. With his appeal, he can also bring more influence to the club. Tiger, your choice is so right."

"I want to make it clear that I am only considering this from a competitive perspective."

"Well, no matter what you say, I will be happy if we can sign him."

"To be honest, Ed, I didn't expect you to have a good relationship with his agent. I didn't think of this."

"I have good relationships with many agents. You'll know my abilities if we spend more time together, haha."

Tiger opened his eyes and looked at Woodward, whose laughter was hearty. He suddenly felt that this straightforward guy wasn't that bad.

In the private room of the cafe, Tiger met his target - Robert Lewandowski.

"Robert, hello, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Tiger."

Tiger continued to look at Lewandowski, who was as calm as the hero who razed cities and destroyed fortresses on the football field.

At the same time, Lewandowski was also sizing up Tiger. He didn't know why Manchester United had chosen him to take over Ferguson's legacy, but he was sure that this man called "Tiger" must have something special.

Meanwhile, Woodward exchanged pleasantries with Lewandowski's agent before getting down to business.

"Robert, I want to sign you," Tiger got straight to the point.

Lewandowski was taken aback. He hadn't expected Tiger to be so direct. After a moment's thought, he shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Tiger, but I can't accept your invitation."

Upon hearing Lewandowski's outright rejection, his agent worried that Gold Tiger and Woodward might lose face. So he quickly explained, "It's not Robert's decision, it's the club's decision. The club isn't planning to sell Robert this summer."

Woodward was taken aback, then said with a hint of meaning, "But I heard that a few days ago, Dortmund had already discussed Lewandowski's transfer with Bayern Munich?"

Lewandowski didn't speak, and his agent sighed, "That was the plan, but something went wrong."
