Ed Woodward left after finishing the dinner with Lin Kedi.

Lin Kedi and Ali were left in the box.

"This Englishman still doesn't know how to eat. He left after talking. Come on, Ali, let's eat together."

So Ali and Lin Kedi started chatting while eating.

Ali spoke first: "Lin, I feel you are more interested in Manchester United."

"They take me more seriously, don't they?"

"Of all the teams you are in contact with, there is no one who doesn't value you?"

"But there is a gap in the level of support invested. Manchester United supports me in all aspects."

"That's Manchester United?"

"No, wait a moment."

"Wait a minute - you mean to see De Ligt's transfer?"

"Yes, Matthias has gone. We can have in-depth discussions with Manchester United. Otherwise, there is still no need."

"In that case, you can actually talk to representatives from Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal."

"Have they come to China?"

"Not at first, but just now - look at the news, it was only a short time ago that our meeting with Ed Woodward was in the newspaper!"

"So Arsenal and Liverpool contacted you?"

"I contacted them on WhatsApp just now. They asked us if we were still in BJ recently. They all said they would take the nearest flight to BJ. How about it? Do you want to meet us?"

"Of course I want to meet. Now I'm not sure where I'm going. I'll definitely meet at every house."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

With that said, Ali began to fiddle with his cell phone, while Lin Kedi was eating the food peacefully.

The next day, Lin Kedi continued filming commercials.

After shooting the commercial for several days, Lin Kedi felt very tired, but fortunately this was the last day of commercial shooting, the last day in China.

It was already 4 pm after filming the commercial, and Lin Kedi was going to go back to the hotel to rest.

But I received another call from Ali.

"Sports Monthly has an exclusive interview and I hope to interview you."

"What is the interview topic? Topic?"

"The main thing is to do an exclusive interview about your current transfer situation."

"Not now. At least we have to talk to Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal before we talk."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow? Are the representatives of those three families here?"

"Chelsea's sporting director is arriving tonight. We have arranged to meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. We will meet with Arsenal's sporting director at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. We will meet with Liverpool's sporting director at 6 pm."

"Tomorrow will be another busy day."

——

10pm the next day.

After finishing the last negotiation, Lin Kedi and Ali returned to the hotel together.

Here, the two people will have their final communication.

Ali couldn't help but said while sitting on the sofa: "The treatment conditions of these three companies are better than Chelsea, but they are incomparable to Manchester City and Manchester United. The other two companies, Liverpool and Arsenal, are really poor enough.

.So, Lin, the three companies we have to talk about now are Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United."

"In fact, I have watched so many teams. Seriously, Ali, which one can you tell me that gives Manchester United such a high salary? When I say high, it's not just money!"

"Aren't you still waiting for news from De Ligt?"

"Yes, we can't look like we are in a hurry. Anyway, there are still more than half a month until the start of preseason for most teams. I can finally take a good rest now."

"Lin, don't forget, there is also that interview."

"Don't worry, the rest I'm talking about is at home."

——

A few days later.

June 24th.

Car city.

Lin Kedi woke up early in the morning.

I went out to find a quiet place to go for a run, but as soon as I ran less than 10 meters, I was recognized by passers-by.

Then it was surrounded.

Fortunately, the folks in his hometown still recognized Lin Kedi, so they simply took a group photo and then dispersed.

There was no congestion.

Only then could Lin Kedi easily escape and return home.

And as soon as I got home.

The cell phone rang.

Lin Kedi looked at the caller ID.

Matthijs de Ligt.

"Matthew. Is this what I thought?"

"90 million euros plus 20 million euros in additional fees, a total of 110 million euros, has been negotiated. The official announcement will take some time. Because it has been negotiated, I also know your agreement with Manchester United.

So, Lin, I have arrived at Manchester United, will you come?"

Lin Kedi seemed to see De Ligt's expression through his mobile phone.

"You know, Matthijs, I've always loved playing football with you!"

"Haha, I knew it! I'm looking forward to the day when I can meet you! Frankie and I are on vacation here in Spain, won't you come?"

"This is the only time I can be home at the end of the year, and I still like it here better."

"See you in the preseason then."

"See you in pre-season!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Kedi breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that it was finally settled, Lin Kedi felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Pick up the phone and call Ali.

Ali was still at BJ at this time.

"Oh, Lin, I'm almost asleep, it's 11 o'clock. What's the reason you called?"

"Ali Matteis called me."

"Matthew, oh, De Ligt called you? Wait! De Ligt called you! You mean-"

"It's what you think, he has already negotiated with Manchester United for a total price of 110 million euros."

"So are we entering into negotiations?"

"Yes. We can talk. But -"

"I understand, Lin, and I will fight for your best interests!"

"Okay, when it comes to the final stage, I can come with you."

"That would be better. But if it comes to the final stage, we may have to fly to London."

"No problem, this is a big deal."

——

On June 27, three days had passed since De Ligt told Lin Kedi that he had reached an agreement.

On this day, Manchester United officially announced the signing of De Ligt from Ajax.

As soon as this official announcement was released, it also caused shock in all parties.

Although Manchester United has not officially announced the specific price of the transfer fee, in fact not many clubs will announce the specific transfer fee, but every time a transfer is officially announced, fans will know how much the transfer fee is.

The media has reported it.

This time De Ligt's transfer is naturally no exception.
