Chapter 1091

Mendes had a shorter stay in China and returned to Europe a day later to continue his contract talks with Manchester United.

Mendes didn't go against the grain, telling David Gill that his annual salary could be reduced to 18 million euros.

David Gill reported Mendes' proposal to everam, the eldest son of Glazer, who is now in charge of Manchester United affairs.

Evram misjudged the situation. He thought that Mendes was afraid, so he told David Gill that the annual salary of 18 million euro was also unacceptable. There was only 15 million euro, and one euro would not be increased.

David Gill knows what's going on. He told evram that Ferguson personally went to Gao Xiaodong and promised him the position of captain. Only in this way can Gao Xiaodong give in. If his side can't increase the price, I'm afraid there will still be no progress in the contract renewal negotiation.

"20 million is the lion's big mouth. We can't accept it. 18 million is also an excessive demand. We didn't give him a salary increase, but we increased it by 3 million. We can't give him an increase of 6 million at one time. David, if you insist, I think Mendes will recognize the reality."

Everam is aware of Ferguson's influence, but he still does not believe that Gao Xiaodong will ask for less than 2 million euros for a captain's position. He thinks that if he insists on it, maybe Mendes will accept the conditions of Manchester United's contract extension.

In order to achieve his goal and put pressure on Gao Xiaodong and Mendes, evram also found some media cooperation to criticize Gao Xiaodong's greed for money and his lack of loyalty to Manchester United.

David Gill has no choice but to tell Mendes that Manchester United can only offer Gao Xiaodong an annual salary of 15 million euros.

Mendes and Gao Xiaodong certainly will not agree, but they are not angry, they believe that Manchester United's top management will recognize the reality, the initiative in their hands.

However, the ensuing media criticism makes Gao Xiaodong and Mendes angry. This is bullying. Do you think Gao Xiaodong is not wanted?

Gao Xiaodong immediately told Mendes to shelve the contract renewal negotiations with Manchester United and contact other clubs to listen to their offers.

While evram and David Gill are dreaming of Gao Xiaodong's compromise dream, France's L'Equipe suddenly revealed that Mendes and Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich are drinking tea together in Paris. Although there is no news except tea, sensitive reporters immediately realize that something may happen.

Then "La Gazzetta dello Sport" revealed that Mendes visited Manchester City coach Mancini in Milan. "La Gazzetta dello Sport" said that this is likely to involve the transfer of a superstar.

In China, Gao Xiaodong and Mendes echoed each other. When interviewed by Sports Weekly and ball daily, when the reporter asked whether the transfer rumors outside Gao Xiaodong were true, Gao Xiaodong's reply was vague, saying yes or no.

After Gao Xiaodong's words spread to Europe, it caused fans' infinite reverie. Should Gao Xiaodong believe or not?

However, one thing is certain. If Gao Xiaodong is sure that he will stay at Manchester United at the beginning of the new season's pre-season training, he will not use such vague language to deal with reporters.

The United fans' sense of crisis has come again. They can't accept the result of losing Gao Xiaodong. For the United fans, Gao Xiaodong is more important than Ronaldo.

So Manchester United fans spontaneously gathered outside the Carrington training base and Old Trafford stadium to urge the club to complete the renewal of Gao Xiaodong's contract as soon as possible to avoid the tragedy of David and Ronaldo.

Manchester United executives, Ferguson and evram are also aware of the crisis, because after David Gill rejected Mendes' 18 million euro annual salary, Mendes refused to negotiate with Manchester United and even refused to answer David Gill's phone call.

Although United don't want to pay more, they don't want to lose Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong supported United's offensive and defensive system last season. If Gao Xiaodong was transferred, there would be no way for United to find a replacement.

After Ferguson visited Gao Xiaodong in China, Gao Xiaodong reciprocated and dropped the original asking price by 2 million euros. 18 million is also an astronomical figure. Ferguson is not satisfied with this figure, because it will definitely affect the salary structure of Manchester United. However, Ferguson is very confident in his control. He thinks that even if he gives Gao Xiaodong 18 million euros, he will not be satisfied with this figure There is no annual salary for those who dare to rebel.

Soon David Gill told Ferguson that evram didn't agree with Mendes' offer and insisted on the original annual salary of 15 million. Ferguson was not angry about it. After all, his manager can't negotiate with the players in person. It can only be done by David Gill. Only if he can renew his contract in the end, Ferguson doesn't care what David Gill and evram do I can't do it.

However, the development of the matter is beyond Ferguson's expectation. With the media's criticism of Gao Xiaodong, Mendes refuses to continue negotiations with Manchester United. There are rumors that Gao Xiaodong may transfer, which makes Ferguson afraid. He thinks that if he continues like this, he is likely to lose Gao Xiaodong.

Ferguson first found David Gill and scolded him, saying that he had messed up.David Gill is unconvinced. He says it has nothing to do with him. He does it according to the wishes of FRAM, Glazer's eldest son. Fram doesn't want to give more money, and he has no choice.

Ferguson understands the crux of the problem as soon as he hears it. Ferguson can't let evram go on messing about any more. However, Ferguson didn't go to evram. Instead, Ferguson flew directly to the United States to find the bedridden old Glazer. He wants to solve the problem from the source.

Glazer is surprised and happy with Ferguson's arrival, because he also wants to know the real situation of Manchester United.

Glazer gave up his service and met Ferguson alone for more than two hours before Ferguson left the United States.

No one knows what the old Glazer and Ferguson met and talked about, but after Ferguson left, the old Glazer immediately called evram over, severely criticized him, ordered him to accept Gao Xiaodong's terms and immediately resume the contract renewal negotiations.

Evram thinks that Ferguson is here to sue him and secretly hates him.

Even though the old Glazer has been ill for many years, the accumulated prestige is still there. Evram dare not disobey, so he quickly asked David Gill to negotiate with Mendes and accept an annual salary of 18 million euros.

David Gill is very speechless. He's very kind-hearted. Why did you go there long ago? Why did you offend Mendes and Gao Xiaodong when you planned to accept Mendes' terms? It's not self humiliating.

Just as evram did not dare to disobey his father, old Glazer, and David Gill did not dare to disobey evram, he had to go to Portugal to find Mendes himself.
