If Helen hadn't been very interested in these things, George Li would have really wanted to take his newlywed wife to Milan for a business trip.
However, the newlyweds flew back to the UK after their short honeymoon trip to Sweden, and George Lee rushed to Italy non-stop.
"It seems that your taste has really improved a lot since coming to Italy."
George Li stood up and took the Italian coffee from Mourinho, then sat back on the chair.
The two of them are currently in a small town called "Appiano Gentile" on the edge of Milan. The town is located between Milan and Como in Italy. It was originally unknown because it owns Serie A Inter Milan. The training base of Pinetina is world-famous.
As soon as he sat down, George Li made fun of Mourinho's outfit.
In his eyes, although this friend was not slovenly, it was impossible for him to put so much effort into his clothes.
The Portuguese not only wear polo shirts with collars, but also stand up the collar at the back.
Mourinho poured himself a cup of coffee, and after hearing what George Li said, he glared at the other person and said, "No way, the one who received the money was sponsored by others."
After saying that, Mourinho couldn't help laughing.
After a few minutes of chatting, the two got down to business.
"So, you've got Zlatan?"
"What's the use of getting rid of him? Why don't we come to Italy to get you?"
The two people talked about the transfer of Ibrahimovic. Regarding the transfer of the Swedish forward, the two clubs have actually almost reached the stage of negotiation.
However, the confidentiality measures are relatively good, and there are no transfer rumors about the Swede in the transfer market.
Of course, part of the reason is that this summer has been quite crazy. Transfers worth less than 10 million euros are so crazy that no one is following them, and even reports of less than 20 million euros are rare.
The names of Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, Alonso, Diego Milito, Eto'o, Tevez, and Adebayor have always appeared on the front pages of major sports media.
Among them, according to reliable sources, Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid has been completed, and Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid is almost in progress.
"Then do you know why I must meet you?" Mourinho picked up the coffee, raised it slightly towards George Li, and asked.
Originally, Ibrahimovic's transfer could be approved directly, but Inter Milan suddenly proposed that their head coach stop the transaction. However, he didn't say anything to death, saying that there is actually a possibility that this transfer will continue, but their head coach needs to relent again.
Hearing this, Li George understood what it meant, so as soon as he returned to the UK, he immediately rushed to Milan, Italy, to negotiate with Mourinho.
"I guess it's just two reasons."
"Then tell me...what are the two reasons?" George Li must have said it right. Mourinho obviously paused in the middle of the sentence.
"First of all, I think you should have taken a fancy to a player in my team and want to add this player to the transfer exchange."
"Haha." Mourinho didn't say whether he was, but smiled softly.
Seeing Mourinho's reaction, Li George knew that he had guessed correctly, and Li George also knew which player Mourinho was interested in.
"I also know who you want."
"Oh?" This surprised Mourinho. He didn't believe that Li George could guess which Leeds United player Inter Milan wanted to buy.
"I can only tell you that I will not offer that player to you. As for the others, I can consider them."
"Then I can only stop Zlatan's transfer, and you can look for a striker elsewhere."
The two of them were like guessing riddles, constantly "exchanging moves" around the Leeds United player, but they were all feints, without any actual moves.
"Jose, stop pretending. I know you have other candidates, otherwise you wouldn't have called me here. There shouldn't be any need for you and me to be so secretive. It's not the NBA draft, so we have to do this." Lots of smoke bombs." In the end, it was George Li who ended the Tai Chi push between the two.
"Okay, I know you won't sell Sneijder, but I still want to give it a try. Then I don't want this Dutchman. I can just change him to a Dutchman."
"Okay, then I have approved the transfer of Kuyt, that is, you. I will definitely not let anyone else go."
"I......"
"Stop talking, Kuyt is gone."
Of course, Li George knows that what Mourinho wants is Sneijder, followed by Robben, but Li George will definitely not let these two players go. At the same time, he also learned through other channels that Inter Milan was also interested in Kuyt.
That's why George Lee said this directly to Mourinho.
After all, no coach doesn't like a forward who runs actively and has a high attendance rate. If you have to talk about scoring rate, then just give Kuyt a partner who can score goals.
"You!" Mourinho was also amused by George Lee's directness. "Okay, Kuyt is Kuyt. Should he be directly included in Zlatan's transfer, or should we do it separately?"
George Li did not answer him, but kept staring at Mourinho with his eyes until Mourinho felt furious.
"Tell me, which one is it?" Finally he couldn't bear it any more, and Mourinho insisted on letting George Li make a choice.
But George Li did not answer Mourinho's question directly, but continued what he said before: "Remember the two reasons I just told you, I haven't said the second one yet."
"you say."
"When I finish the second one, I will have a good talk with you about the transfers of Ibrahimovic and Kuyt."
When Mourinho saw what Li George said, he finally understood what Li George wanted to do.
The second reason Li George said that Mourinho insisted on interviewing Li George was that Mourinho knew that Barcelona was also interested in Ibrahimovic. But Mourinho, who had been disgusted by his old club once before, did not want to give up Ibrahimovic to the other party.
But Mourinho often wants to get Eto'o from Barcelona, so he wants Lee George to cooperate with him to disgust Barcelona.
When George Li said what Mourinho was thinking, the two burst out laughing.
"Thank you very much for cooperating with me and letting me vent this bad breath."
When the two first chatted, Mourinho said that the team he most wanted to coach was Barcelona. Later, after leaving Chelsea, the Portuguese went to Barcelona for an interview. He was well prepared and was eventually let go.
Therefore, Mourinho is constantly thinking about how to retaliate against the opponent.
"I don't like them either, after all they took away my first Champions League."
Speaking of this, George Li gritted his teeth a bit. He would never forget the night of the Champions League final. He could only put the diamond ring for marriage proposal on Helen's hand in a corner of the stadium.
George Li will definitely remember this grudge against Barcelona for the rest of his life.
