Kiya knew that he had only one last way left.

That is to go to France and dig up the last person!

He felt that the simplest person failed, and the most difficult person failed, and the average difficulty Giroud could still succeed?

On July 8, Ji Ya came to Tours in central France with silence. Tours is not a strong team. Strictly speaking, they are just an unknown team. The best score in history is just the runner-up in the French Ligue 2 second time. The best score in the French Cup is to reach the semi-finals.

Compared with Southampton, they are both relatively weak.

Olivier Giroud joined Tours at a low price from Grenoble, who was also in the French Ligue 2 before the start of last season. It only cost Tours only 200,000 euros. The transfers to the French low-level league have always been very cheap.

However, as a 23-year-old striker who can't play the main player in Grenoble and can only be loaned to Franco C, Giroud has no ambitions yet. He is very satisfied that he can be a half-main player in Tours.

After all, for a 22-year-old striker who is still playing in French C, it is already a blessing to be able to play in French C now!

Tour ranked sixth in French Ligue 2 last season and performed well, but Tour also knew that with their strength, that is, French Ligue 2, it is unlikely to enter Ligue 1. Moreover, Ligue 1 is different from the Premier League. If you enter the top league, your income will soar. Compared with the revenue of Ligue 1 teams, there is not much essential difference between the revenue of Ligue 1 and Ligue 2.

In the five major leagues, Ligue 1 basically relies on selling people.

So when receiving Kiya, Mr. Christie, the general manager of Tours, was very happy.

"Olivier? This is a good guy. Although he was not the main player in our team last season, he also played 23 times and scored nine goals. In addition, a center like him is very useful in tactical terms, so he is still very important to us." Mr. Christie said seriously.

Hearing him say this, Kiya felt relieved.

Since that's the case, then you can talk about it!

"You also know that Southampton is not lucky in recent years. It has dropped to the League One, and its income is not too abundant. However, in terms of transfer fees, I will definitely not let my partners suffer... Mr. Christie, I remember when Olivier transferred to Tour last season, his net worth was 200,000 euros. Now we are willing to pay 500,000 yuan. What do you think?" Kiya said.

Christie looked at Kiya in surprise, and then felt that this young man was a little anxious, and this seemed to be a place to be used.

And half a million... Christie also felt that it was less.

Although Giroud only came for 200,000 yuan, he has been playing in the French Ligue 2 for a year. As a main player and only 23 years old, he is still a center forward, so the price can be higher.

"Mr. Ji, I just said that he is our non-sale product." Christie said sincerely.

"We need to rebuild 800,000, and it is impossible to spend too much money on the forward position. We have bought Lambert before. He is the top scorer in the League One last season. It is enough to be stable if there is a scorer. I just think our forward is not young anymore, so we need to be a forward in the year of playing, but I can't spend more money for an auxiliary center. What's more, even if you keep Giroud and he makes more progress, how much can he sell? In Ligue 1, such a center is not popular." Kiya shook his head and said.

The two of them became tough at the same time, which made Christie also realize that although the young man opposite seemed a little anxious, he still had a very stable grasp of the bottom line.

However, in Ligue 1, everyone likes players who can break through and shoot. Giroud's big center is not very popular.

In fact, in the next season, after Giroud won the top scorer in the French Ligue 2, his transfer to Montpellier was only worth only two million euros.

If you change your UK household registration book and the best scorer in the Championship, your net worth will be worth tens of millions.

So after weighing it, Christie bargained for a while, then asked for an integer, and finally agreed to Kiya's offer of one million euros.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Kiya breathed a sigh of relief. This was his last chance!

However, the club agreed to the quotation only preliminary, and Giroud himself would have to agree to it next.

At this time, Kiya realized that he had missed something. When he was arguing with the Tour Club these days, he should also contact Giroud. This two-pronged negotiation method now will do this, mainly to save time and avoid misunderstandings.

If Giroud had contacted other clubs during this period, it would be troublesome!

Fortunately, no one was interested in Giroud during this period.

After all, a player who only played in the French Ligue 2 game stably last season is not too young, and there are not many teams interested in him.

However, when talking to Giroud, Giroud himself seemed to be not very interested...

As a small flop, Giroud has no agent yet, so Kiya met Giroud directly.

Giroud is very polite, but when it comes to playing football in the League One, he seems to be lacking in interest.

But it is normal. He finally gained a foothold in French Ligue 1. The circulation channels between French Ligue 1 and French Ligue 1 are quite frequent. As long as you play well, you will have a great chance of playing football in French Ligue 1 and then transferring to Premier League La Liga Serie A.

If you play football in the League One, your future will be a little uncertain...

"We Southampton are not a small team. We have a stadium of 30,000 people. We are at the mid-level in the Premier League. If we fall to the English League One, it is just an accident, not always in the English League One... It is only a matter of time before Southampton returns to the Premier League. You are still young now, why not try it? And your characteristics are more suitable for England games. IMHO, with your current strength, you will not have any good performance when you go to the Premier League right away, but if you can exercise in the English low-level league, you will not be in a state of discomfort in the Premier League. This is also a very beneficial thing for you personally."

Kiya said to Giroud with painstaking words, and Giroud was still hesitant.

"We can even add additional terms to the contract. If we don't return to the Championship after the end of this season, you can transfer and leave at any time. Of course, if we return to the Championship immediately, then you don't have to rush to leave. You are only 23 years old now, and playing for one or two seasons of the Championship at the age of 24 is more likely to be favored by the Premier League team." Kiya finally used his killer weapon.

Such terms impressed Giroud.

The most important thing is that he never seems to have been taken so seriously...
