Chapter 402: Finalized (Daily Transition)
Candlelight flickers.
Scented candles emit a faint fragrance.
Abu, Ms. Scaria, and the assistant chatted animatedly.
Li Kang's ear suddenly heard a young beast's low growl.
【Chelsea Totem-Stanford affinity increased.】
【"King of London" achievement progress: next season you continue to represent the London team in the Premier League, you have a chance to increase affinity with the Totem Phantom Beast.】
Too many things happened in just a week.
Li Kang was celebrating the triple crown with his teammates a few days ago, and today he has to discuss transfer matters with several clubs.
After a while.
Everyone stood up and left.
Abu said firmly: "Li! Chelsea will agree to all your conditions, you will become the king of Stamford Bridge!"
Ms. Scaria added: "We will hire the best doctors; no matter how long it takes, Chelsea is willing to wait for your recovery."
Not to mention a seriously injured Li Kang; think of Crespo and Shevchenko from back then—even if loaned out or not playing, Chelsea is willing to pay them millions of pounds in annual salary just to keep them.
"This is our club's attitude."
"You don't have to decide right away; the Arsenal side is even more anxious than you."
Upon hearing this,
The assistant couldn't help but sigh: "It's going to rain, the club wants to sell money... can't keep them."
A system notification suddenly sounded in Li Kang's mind.
【Ding! Side quest activated: Blue Giant Beast. (Optional)】
【Quest brief: Your days at Stamford Bridge will be easy, stand shoulder to shoulder with the beast, and crush everything!】
【Quest rewards: Destroying-type Midfielder template Lv2, Bond Link, "Blue Angel" module (Legendary), Thames River's Blessing (Legendary).】
【Destroying-type Midfielder template Lv2: greatly enhances template ability, effect unknown.】
【Bond Link: you have a chance to form a bond with Chelsea teammates in matches (permanent passive); bond effect increases with rapport.】
【"Blue Angel" module (Legendary): when you play at Stamford Bridge stadium, you can gather the faith power of Chelsea fans; effect unknown.】
【Thames River's Blessing: when you represent Chelsea in matches, eliminates all negative emotional effects of modules.】
【Quest selection time limit: 60 days.】
Night fell.
Li Kang and the assistant left the super yacht.
The two got into the business car.
The assistant looked pleased: "Chelsea's salary offer is too high; although Arsenal respects your personal wishes, they won't easily complete the transfer, they will definitely negotiate."
"I never expected so many things to happen in these few days!"
"My head is still dizzy."
"Enrique arrived at the Colni Training Centre today; he doesn't want to let you go, but considering your injury situation, there's no place for you in the new tactical framework for now."
"What? You still think that's reasonable?"
"If you stay at Arsenal, the club hopes you'll accept a pay cut... and the new contract will be changed to yearly renewals."
"I understand what you mean; you're saying from the club's upper management perspective, these arrangements are all reasonable."
"After all, clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea are still few."
"I understand Arsenal, but we have more options."
The assistant chattered on.
Li Kang held the tablet and opened his email.
Guardiola sent an email containing only two paragraphs:
"Unlimited Firepower!"
"Let's solve the overlapping wide attack space problem!"
【Ding! Side quest triggered: Yindihaed Rise. (Optional)】
【Quest brief: A tactical obsessive's crazy experiment; this is the easiest path for you to rise to Quasi Ball King, and you and he will drive a revolution in football tactics.】
【Quest rewards: "Inverted Midfielder" template Lv2, Blue Moon Magician, "Extreme Pass-Run" module (Legendary), "System Beneficiary" module (Legendary), "Rotation Limit" module (Legendary), "Flank Attack" module (Legendary), "Space Rending" module (Legendary), "Weak Side Breach" module (Legendary).】
Li Kang briefly glanced at the reward effects.
Six permanent legendary modules in the Guardiola Manchester City system.
He had long known that Guardiola's "King of the Defensive Line" possesses Unlimited Firepower, just as the other party's email recently sent the "Cancelo Plan".
But.
After inserting himself, he fundamentally cannot solve the redundant overlapping wide attack space problem.
The best possible outcome: one person drains the entire Manchester City's blood, attack and defense stats break historical records, in the Guardiola Manchester City system emphasizing overall and positional fluidity, sacrificing teammates, ultimately making it hard to achieve championship.
The worst possible outcome: cannot solve the problem, and they go their separate ways.
Arsenal is an unfinished painting, limited by funds and bench depth; many players sometimes cannot meet Wenger's tactical demands, so once Li Kang has sufficient freedom, he can enhance the team's overall attack and defense.
But the Manchester City system tends toward perfection, perfect like a world-famous painting.
Chelsea?
According to Abu and Ms. Scaria: Li Kang can offer composition suggestions, and the painter executing the brush is willing to absorb everything.
Li Kang ultimately still did not reply to Guardiola's email.
Pull down further.
Another message from Simeone.
The email content is very long.
Basically, Atlético Madrid's major shareholder will invest, and the club can offer Li Kang generous terms.
It also came with a tactical diagram.
We will sign Morata together.
You, Diegekesita, and Molata will form a lethal trio comparable to MSN and BBC.
Exactly, I need you to move further forward!
Molata will play as a deep-lying centre forward.
Deep-lying centre forward + number 9 + number 9.5.
The system notification sounded again.
【Mission Brief: If you are willing, football history will once again give birth to a terrifying attacking trident, as splendid as fireworks! Atlético Madrid's overall strength is strong enough to be terrifying, so we cannot give you any rewards.】
【Mission Reward: None.】
Next morning.
Arsenal office building.
Sir Jisiweike lit a cigar.
Luobote looked dejected: "Real Madrid's offer is 150 million euros... but I think this price is a bit low, and Fuluolundinuo actually directly called off the negotiation plan."
Jiaqidis couldn't help but want to kick someone: "Real Madrid's original plan was to sign Neimaer, 150 million euros is already the limit of their summer transfer budget! They need to renovate the Bernabeu Stadium, and financially they are under great pressure."
Their summer transfer funds are only this much!
Isn't it good to let Li go to a La Liga superpower club? He could also get a salary comparable to Neimaer's, which would be responsible for his career!
Have Manchester City and Chelsea's offers changed?
Luobote shook his head: "No, and they won't agree to the Premier League and Champions League exemption clauses."
You motherfucker, you even added the exemption clauses? That's so vicious!
Cancel it!
Sir Jīsīwéikè suppressed his anger, sighing: 'I asked, Li's personal inclination leans more toward Chelsea; wait a bit longer, Spain is very likely to win the Confederations Cup, they have called up Li!'
Luóbótè looked bewildered: 'Li still can't play...'
'You idiot, I mean just drag it out a bit more; a bunch of sponsors haven't renewed their contracts with the club yet.'
'After the Confederations Cup ends, Arsenal will hold a grand farewell ceremony for Li, respecting his wishes and letting him go to Chelsea.'
