Chapter 124

Xia Xing had a particularly enjoyable lunch.

Mendes is like a know-it-all, and there seems to be nothing he doesn't understand about the football field.

Regardless of the trends in European football, the tactics of each team, or even the gossip among the players, Mendes is very clear about it.

This made Xia Xing admire him.

Seeing that he had met an expert, Xia Xing humbly asked some questions, and Mendes answered them seriously and sincerely.

Mendes, who is twenty years older than Xia Xing, is both an agent and an elder to Xia Xing.

From far to near, the two talked about the most important topic.

Regarding the transfer of Xia Xing.

Mendez's phone rang and he received a message.

He took a look and then put it on the table for Xia Xing to see.

"Xia, Manchester United has listed you for 5 million euros, and they have not broken their promise."

"Well, Van Gaal is not bad, but our goals are different."

"Yes, you met at the wrong time. If you met in another two years, maybe he would fall madly in love with you."

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated."

"Believe me, it will definitely be like this. As long as you can choose a suitable path and grow up smoothly, you will definitely impress everyone."

"Then I'll leave everything to you."

"This is my job, and I will do my best."

After the meal, Mendes drove Xia Xing back to the apartment.

Xia Xing expressed his gratitude: "Because of my affairs, you even made a special trip to Manchester."

Mendes said bluntly: "Actually, meeting you is just for one thing. I also have a transfer to negotiate."

"Then I wish you all the best."

"Thank you. I announced to the public that you are my client. If any club contacts you, just ask them to contact me directly."

"OK."

This time Mendes came to Manchester United to discuss player transfers, but Xia Xing only found out about it a month later.

Argentinian winger Di Maria moved from Real Madrid to Manchester United. The transfer fee of 75 million euros was another big deal.

But Xia Xing was no longer in Manchester at that time...

Not much happened these days, and Xia Xing did not stay in Manchester.

He returned to Leicester City to take his final exams for his freshman year.

Xia Xing has been reading sports management books.

During a season playing for Leicester City, he often asked Shakespeare for advice when he had nothing to do.

Shakespeare was naturally generous with his advice.

Even though he is just an assistant coach, he has rich experience and rich knowledge base.

Most of Leicester City's games are on weekends, and Monday is a holiday. Xia Xing basically goes back to school to attend classes and ask questions to the teachers.

Of course, sometimes it's just chatting.

Most teachers majoring in sports management are football fans, and there are even more Leicester City fans.

Seeing the technical core of the team, They are naturally in a good mood.

Many students also came up to ask for autographs.

Even though Xia Xing doesn't have many classes, his grades are really good.

Coming back for the exam this time was even easier.

"You are indeed a star player from Leicester City. You are really talented."

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher."

"I have one more question. If you answer it correctly, you will pass the exam."

"Please ask."

"If you decided to leave Manchester United, would you join Leicester City?"

"certainly!"

"Perfect answer! Full marks!"

Seeing the instructor smiling, Xia Xing felt so warm.

Also feeling warm were Alyona and Reed.

Xia Xing didn't say hello to them and took a car directly to No. 17, Spring Villa District.

The siblings were shocked.

Hugs as usual, quarrels as usual.

Looking at the familiar faces, the corners of Xia Xing's mouth turned up unconsciously.

"Xia, I heard you are leaving Manchester United?"

"Um."

"You must come back!"

"I also hope so, But my agent is handling the transfer."

"It sounds so unstable..."

Alyona frowned and Xia Xing snickered.

Li De next to him snorted: "What else are you doing? Just say hello to Leicester City and sign the contract and that's it."

Xia Xing: "Haha."

Reed: "What's with your expression?"

Xia Xing: "I'm too lazy to explain my expression."

It feels so good to be home again.

Compared to the cold apartment in Manchester, Xia Xing felt that it was full of warmth.

The day after Xia Xing came to Leicester City, Mendes called and told Xia Xing about his transfer.

"There are a lot of teams that want you during this period, just as I imagined.

"Even a top club like Arsenal, which is really beyond my expectation.

"It seems Wenger is really discerning.

"But they can't guarantee your playing time. Even if they buy you, they may rent you out first.

"Isn't this the same situation as I was at Manchester United?

"I refused directly for you.

"You've also been approached by several Championship clubs hoping to sign you.

"To be fair, the salary package is really good.

"They hope you can show the form you had last season and help them get promoted.

"But for you, what is the value of going to the Championship?

"You have already proven your strength in the Championship, why would you want another round?

"So I refused directly for you."

Xia Xing was quite satisfied after hearing what Mendes said.

"Well said, you think the same as me, you understand me."

Mendes laughed.

"Haha, of course I understand you.

"In addition to them, there are several teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League that are interested in you.

"And the salary is also good, and They promise to give you a starting rotation position.

"You can also consider it."

Xia Xing suddenly interjected: "Has Leicester City made an offer?"

Mendes laughed again on the other end of the phone.

"Hahahaha!

" I guessed you would ask that!

"Of course there is Leicester City!

"And the treatment they give you is the best!

"Both salary and team status are transcendent.

"I even think that if you ask them for the captain's armband, they might agree."

Xia Xing felt at ease now: "Okay, then I'll sign a contract with Leicester City."

"Don't you want to take a look at their contract offer?"

"Don't want to anymore."

"Don't you want to think about it anymore?"

"No, it's just Leicester City, I won't go anywhere else."

"OK! Got it! I will handle all your transfer procedures, and I will get the best treatment for you."

Mendes was very efficient, and it took him only two days to handle everything.

Xia Xing went back to Manchester and completed all the procedures for leaving the team.

Then he went to Old Trafford.

It's a shame to say that.

He joined Manchester United for one season and spent almost all of it on loan at Leicester City.

No chance to play a Premier League game here.

The only time I played here was Sir Alex Ferguson's farewell game before the start of last season.

what a pity.

Goodbye, Manchester United!

Good luck!
