Chapter 163 Enzo: I want to transfer
Chapter 163 Enzo: I want to transfer
Hello, sir.
That evening, Li Yanqing contacted Guardiola.
The other party left their contact information with Barker, so Li Yanqing didn't need to look for it himself.
"It's nice to receive your call, Li."
"Shall we talk about Sun Yan?"
Guardiola didn't expect to receive Li Yanqing's reply so quickly; in his view, there was no reason for the other party to refuse the transfer.
Firstly, they offered a lot, and secondly, they didn't create any obstacles for their players when they went to Burton.
"Yes."
"To be honest, I don't want to sell him."
"He has become a key player for us."
Li Yanqing spoke frankly, and he felt that the player would not agree to the transfer.
Cheng Mengmeng is still tied to her own boat.
"Oh?" This answer surprised Guardiola, but he remained confident in signing the player.
“I think highly of his potential. Are you really not going to let him give it a try here?”
"If you feel the price isn't enough, we can add a little more."
“This isn’t about money…” Li Yanqing suddenly felt a little powerless.
He found that although the club's finances were in very good shape, he still lacked confidence when speaking to people who didn't care about money at all.
"We can solve any problems that arise."
"Li, you will see my sincerity."
“I know this player has a lot of room to grow, but even if you keep him now, he can’t stay at Burton forever.”
"That's the situation now. As long as a player is suitable, he or she will be poached sooner or later."
“People like Payet are a minority.”
“If you’re worried that the team’s strength will be affected as a result, I can provide you with my backup plan.”
Guardiola has made his meaning very clear.
He would rather find a new defender for Li Yanqing than not be able to sign him.
"Okay, if you really want to do it this way, you can talk to the player himself."
"If he's willing to go, we'll talk about the transfer fee later."
"But if he's unwilling, I won't sell him no matter how much money is offered."
Li Yanqing ultimately left the decision to the player himself.
In fact, Manchester City has the financial strength to pay the release clause if a player wants to leave, and Sun Yan's release clause is not too high.
Hopefully, these players will all be as aware as Murphy...
The next day, Li Yanqing was woken up early by a phone call.
"Boss!"
"Do you really want to sell me?"
"Manchester City's manager contacted me last night!"
It was Sun Yan calling. He was in a bad mood, and his words were all in a questioning tone.
He thought it was a joke when he was in the hospital room!
"Uh, let me explain, Sun Yan."
"That's not how it is..."
It took Li Yanqing a lot of effort to convince him to believe in him.
"Whether it's you, Murphy, or Quinn."
“I value you all very much, but when faced with this kind of choice, I will try my best to give you the power to choose for yourselves.”
"Of course I'm happy if you're willing to stay; I have no intention of selling you out."
"But if one day you want to leave, I won't force you to stay."
Sun Yan's mood improved slightly after learning that Li Yanqing's attitude had always been that he was unwilling to sell himself.
"Okay, going directly to a wealthy family is also a good option."
"But compared to that, my cousin would be happier leading the Burtons to grow."
"She'll be back soon."
"How is she now?"
"You can ask her yourself..."
As soon as Cheng Mengmeng was mentioned, Sun Yan quickly hung up the phone.
However, judging from what he said before, he should be almost fully recovered.
That's right, it's just standard treatment.
The good news is that Guardiola has completely abandoned the idea of signing Sun Yan after speaking with him.
I have no idea what they talked about.
Now only Enzo is left.
His attitude was just as resolute as the former's, but in the opposite direction.
"I want to transfer, boss."
His recent performance has been struggling, which has been a blow to him.
In terms of ability and talent, he is still the strongest among the young players, but he is the only one who has lost his starting position.
"Do you remember what you said when you brought me here?"
"Of course I remember, but that was for the big clubs!" Li Yanqing didn't want to lose this player right now.
"These clubs are all shady businesses. You might as well train here and then go directly to a top club. There's no need to go to them."
"Or do you want to go to Dortmund?"
Compared to Benfica and Porto, Dortmund is undoubtedly a higher level.
“No, I think the Portuguese league would be a better fit for me right now.” Enzo shook his head.
“I performed very well in the Championship, but I have never been able to adapt to the Premier League.”
"I don't think I'm ready to play in a top league right now."
"As for my ability, I'm confident I'll be back in the top league soon..."
It's clear that he has some ideas about his career plan.
However, Li Yanqing doesn't think he'll grow much faster in the Portuguese league than he would here.
"Boss, let me explain."
"This idea was given to me by you."
"Do you remember how you trained Sun Yan and the others before?"
"And what about helping Blind get back into form?"
"Smashing noobs?" Li Yanqing recalled.
He previously used this method mainly to train vocabulary skills and regain form, but he didn't believe it could directly improve a player's overall ability...
"Yes, I feel that the Premier League is still a bit too much for me."
"For the sake of the club's performance, you can't expect me to start every game to find my rhythm."
"So, I want to transfer, boss."
Li Yanqing remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"Okay, I'll respect your opinion."
"However, there is still a long time before the winter transfer window, and I will let Barker talk to the other party more."
"If we can resolve your current issues before the winter transfer window, then you can stay here, how about that?"
“That’s certainly a good idea.” Enzo nodded upon hearing this.
There is no doubt that the English Premier League is of a higher standard than the Portuguese league.
If he can maintain his starting position, staying here is the best option.
To be honest, his problems were exposed in the very first game of the season.
There's still no good solution.
He didn't believe the problem could be solved in such a short time...
PS:
I got back a little late and didn't finish writing.
There are two more chapters left, around 1:00 PM. I'll post them if I can, otherwise I'll post the two chapters tomorrow morning and the rest in the evening.
