Ossilio picked up on the hints in the conversation immediately and greeted with a smile as they sat down.
Ronaldo continued: "Your daughter will graduate next year with a bachelor’s degree in English Literature from Bologna University, isn’t that correct?"
"That’s right, so what?" Ossilio was puzzled, unsure of Ronaldo’s intentions.
"Last year at Inter’s Christmas party, your daughter was also there. We chatted a bit, and she mentioned she wanted to further her studies and pursue a PhD in English literature. However, her GPA is only 3.4, which is far below the requirements to apply for a good university overseas."
"The best university for this field is Cambridge University. I’ve talked to Manchester City’s chief operating officer, Belgistan; the Abu Dhabi Consortium just d a 500 million British pound education fund to Cambridge’s foundation, and the university’s president is on good terms with Belgistan, so certain problems become no problems at all."
Ossilio and Ronaldo exchanged smiles, pointed at each other with their fingers, and made a long, drawn-out "Oh~" sound.
"Good fellow, Belgistan learned from me, haha, treating me with a taste of my own medicine and caught me by surprise!"
"That’s called professionalism," Ronaldo said.
Manchester City’s offer will not be raised any further!
It’s fixed at 71 million euros.
Although Chelsea’s offer was as high as 75 million euros, Ossilio eventually signed the transfer contract with Manchester City.
When Inter Milan’s finance audit department asked Ossilio why he didn’t choose the higher offer, the answer was that Tang Long was adamant about signing only with Manchester City; he would not go to Chelsea.
Thus, the transfer of Tang Long from Inter Milan to Manchester City has reached an agreement between the two clubs from their level!
However, both clubs haven’t officially announced it, as there are subsequent matters to handle.
Ronaldo and Tang Long said their goodbyes, leaving Milan to head to Manchester to discuss the salary contract.
At the same time, Tang Long needed a work permit.
But that’s not a problem; if the "genius clause" doesn’t apply to a talent like Tang Long, it would be a tremendous shame for the Premier League, an insult to the sport of football.
On August 3rd, Inter Milan players returned to the team.
They are the earliest among the 20 Serie A teams to regroup.
Tang Long is still an Inter player for now, adhering to his professional ethics as an athlete and joining Inter’s summer training camp.
However, almost all of the familiar faces around him were gone.
This summer, Icardi transferred to Manchester United for 95 million euros.
Gualin transferred to Tottenham for 25 million euros.
Handanovic transferred to Everton for 20 million euros.
Yuto Nagatomo transferred to Norwich for 17.5 million euros.
Ranocchia transferred to Manchester City for 35 million euros.
Shaqiri transferred to Liverpool for 31 million euros.
Hernanes went to Napoli for 15 million euros.
After Podolski’s loan spell at Inter ended without purchase, he returned to Arsenal.
His best friend Berni also retired, going to the United States to focus on rock music.
In the empty locker room, the only thing left was his old pair of goalkeeper gloves, which Tang Long kept as a memento.
The entire first team now had many young and new faces.
On August 12th, the team will participate in the UEFA Super Cup in Georgia.
UEFA Europa League champion Inter Milan VS Champions League champion Barça!
At this time, Inter’s head coach was former Inter Youth Team coach Leno.
With Ossilio’s strong support, Leno was promoted to the first team to succeed Mancini’s position.
Before flying to Georgia, Leno told Tang Long that he wouldn’t be playing in the match against Barça, and asked if he still wanted to travel with the team.
Tang Long replied: "Mr. Leno, this is my last battle with the team. I want to go to Georgia."
As the plane took off from Milan Malpensa Airport, Tang Long gazed out over Milan city.
Stars scattered and verdant.
According to arrangements, after the match he would fly directly to Manchester and not return to Italy with the team.
