Chapter 123 Loan or transfer?
Walking on the sofa, Van Gaal handed Xia Xing a cup of coffee.
Xia Xing took a sip.
"It's very bitter, no no?"
"Well, sort of."
"It's good to get used to it, because it will not taste like life."
"It seems that I am not only a head coach, but also a philosopher."
"Thank you. Tell me what I think. What have I thought of the three suggestions he gave me?"
"He's thought about it."
"Talk about it."
"He wants to leave Manchester United."
"Loan or transfer?"
"Transfer directly and leave."
Looking at Xia Xing's determined eyes, Van Gaal nodded: "He guessed it."
"Oh? Guessed it?"
"No, after a few chats on the plane, he discovered that I am a young man with personality. It's not surprising that I would make such a choice. Tell me my specific thoughts. He is very interested."
Since he wanted to leave, Xia Xing did not shy away and spoke freely.
"Their family are all Manchester United fans, and he is very affectionate there.
"He really wanted to stay there if he could.
"Even if the treatment is worse and the competition pressure is greater, he can accept it.
"Maybe after he listened to my coaching strategy, he decided to leave.
"He experienced a lot during his one year at Leicester City.
"He loves to play football but he definitely doesn't want to sit on the bench.
"So, just because he likes Manchester United, it doesn't mean that he has no hope of staying at Manchester United.
"He didn't like that feeling.
"He wants to leave and go to a club that can give him a chance to play and a place in the team.
"To fulfill his football dream.
"Then deny his true thoughts without reservation."
Xia Xing finished speaking quickly and looked at Van Gaal.
Van Gaal listened carefully, nodded, and asked curiously: "Don't I feel sorry for leaving Manchester United decisively?"
Xia Xing shook his head: "No regrets. If one day he performs well, Manchester United will beg him to come back."
"Huh?" Van Gaal was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha!
"Good boy, you have mine!
"I'm so good!
"It's great to have that courage, he likes it!
"Actually, to be honest, he thinks I have some potential in the future.
"Although he won't give me a place in the short term,
"But if I can stay in Dongfang, he will not be willing to train me.
"Whether I stay on the team or not, or whether I go out on loan, I will do my best to train me.
"It won't be until a few seasons later that I can become a regular player for Manchester United.
"But did you hear my words?
"He felt that he thought of me too easily.
"I have clear goals and firm ideas,
"That's good, good.
"The club has given him full authority to deal with the players.
"Especially the issue of the retention of our young players.
"Since he promised me, he will let me go.
"He has also considered my transfer fee before.
"He was prepared to price me at 5 million euros.
"I came to Manchester United on a free transfer last year and now I'm playing in the Championship.
"That price is actually lower than the market price, I understand.
"Manchester United has always been very kind to players who have left the team.
"If you lower the transfer fee for me, you can hope that I can get a better salary in the new team.
"He will release my transfer information later,
"I can negotiate a transfer with any club now."
Hearing those words, Xia Xing let out a long breath.
That turned out to be pretty good.
As a key player in Leicester City's promotion to the Premier League this season and an MVP player in the FA Cup, Xia Xing is worth more than 5 million euros.
In addition, if there are young players with English household registration in the summer team, their value can be doubled directly.
I would like to know if the effect of household registration is quite obvious in the Premier League.
Looking at Van Gaal in front of him, Xia Xing felt more favorable in his heart.
Although Van Gaal made it clear that he would not be given a chance in the new season and did not have any polite words to retain him in response to his transfer request, this goes against Van Gaal's style.
Be decisive and straightforward, don't be sloppy, and say whatever you have to say, even if it offends others.
Xia Xing nodded: "He accepts that condition."
"That's good," Van Gaal patted him on the shoulder, "Young man, although he sold me tomorrow, if one day he thinks I'm good, he will really be able to buy me back, haha."
Xia Xing smiled.
One day, maybe it will be the furthest confinement.
After leaving Van Gaal's room, Xia Xing turned around and said something.
"Coach Van Gaal, although he didn't have much contact with me, I still left a deep impression on him.
"He thinks I'm a good coach.
"If Manchester United can give me enough patience and trust,
"I believe I will lead Manchester United on the right path.
"goodbye."
Xia Xing gently closed the door, and Van Gaal stood there stunned for a while.
Then, suddenly he laughed.
What if Manchester United can give him enough patience and trust?
That's what I said, haha.
Interesting boy.
He turned back to his desk and made a phone call: "Let's publish the news about xia's listing."
"Isn't Sa's membership fee equal to the previously set 5 million euros?"
"Well, that's right, you can prepare the contract text."
"OK."
"Oh, that's wrong, the contract is adding a clause."
"What to add?"
"Adding a buy-back clause for Manchester United, the amount is set at 30 million euros."
"OK!"
After hanging up the phone, Van Gaal looked out the window.
His team cleaning plan has begun, and many players have received his calls and are looking for clubs.
But he always felt that that young man seemed a little different.
Maybe your cleaning plan is not perfect, but you can make some corrections as much as possible.
The buy-back clause of 30 million euros can also be regarded as a guarantee for the future.
Who knows whether that young man will really play in the Premier League?
Van Gaal's move is nothing more than an ordinary transfer.
Even if I think Xia Xing is good, I don’t care too much.
Little did he know that a few years later, Manchester United would thank him profusely for his actions tomorrow.
Bu Nao, that’s nothing to talk about anymore.
After leaving the club, Xia Xing looked at the time.
It's almost noon.
He got in the car and went to a restaurant in Manchester.
Because there, he made an appointment to meet someone.
Yesterday at noon, Xia Xing received a phone call. The person on the phone who reported his address surprised Xia Xing.
He is actually a big shot!
But the wrong party was actually in Manchester, and he had made a special trip to meet him.
That surprised Xia Xing even more.
Isn't that a good thing? Xia Xing arrived at the restaurant fifteen minutes early.
Can you walk into the room only to find that the wrong party has already arrived?
"I'm really sorry for keeping me waiting."
"Mei Jing, maybe he came a little early. How about going to the club to discuss the transfer?"
"As you expected..."
