Manchester United wasn't the last to make an offer, but their offer basically ended the suspense.

São Paulo FC received an offer of up to eighty million pounds from Manchester United.

When they saw the zero after the Arabic numeral eight, their eyes widened.

They confirmed it several times before realizing they had not misread it. Manchester United was indeed offering eighty million pounds!

You have to know that Chen Hero's (Chen Yingxiong’s) template, Amoroso, only cost seventy million pounds when he transferred from Napoli to Liverpool… Although Manchester City had offered Napoli eighty-five million pounds at the time, this deal didn't succeed, and Chen Hero went to Liverpool, so it didn't count.

Chen Hero's value was seventy million pounds.

The world's highest transfer fee was Cristiano Ronaldo's eighty million pound transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid.

Over the years, this transfer fee record has never been broken.

With Europe's long-term economic downturn, fewer and fewer clubs were willing to spend more than eighty million pounds to buy a player, until it became almost unheard of.

Who would have thought that Manchester United would offer a price equal to the world's highest transfer fee!

This gave São Paulo FC the dizzying feeling of being "hit on the head by a gold bar falling from the sky."

They thought it was fake, a joke from a fake Manchester United.

To this end, they also urgently organized staff to carefully study the fax, comparing and analyzing it word by word, without even letting go of punctuation marks. The final conclusion was that this was indeed a real fax from Manchester United!

Then they got excited!

An Amoroso had actually earned them eighty million pounds!

And not in installments!

Where could they find such a good thing?

Amoroso had previously been unpopular at the club, always on the fringes of the team, because he really had no talent. Although he had an outstanding physique, he didn't know how to use it properly. The club originally planned not to renew his contract after it expired this time. Who knew what kind of luck he had, suddenly becoming fierce overnight, as if he had suddenly become enlightened, and began to wreak havoc on the field.

This player who was originally going to be abandoned by them unexpectedly brought them an income of eighty million pounds!

São Paulo FC would never give up such a good thing!

Seeming afraid that Manchester United would change their mind, São Paulo FC immediately wired back to Manchester United the next day, agreeing to Manchester United's offer and allowing them to contact Amoroso.

At this time, Manchester United's previous practice of contacting Amoroso privately was no longer important, as if it had never angered São Paulo at all.

At the same time, just in case, so as to prevent Amoroso from suddenly losing his mind and choosing other teams, São Paulo simply rejected all other clubs' offers. Whether it was forty million or sixty million, it was not enough to look at in front of eighty million pounds.

This helped Manchester United a great deal—fundamentally cutting off the possibility that other clubs would also flirt with Amoroso, allowing Amoroso to only choose Manchester United.

Because the two sides already had a private agreement, the negotiation went very smoothly.

Three days later, São Paulo FC and Manchester United FC officially announced the news at the same time.

"Giovanni Leon Amoroso will officially transfer from Brazilian São Paulo FC to English Manchester United FC after the end of this season!"

Following this, subsequent news flowed out from unofficial channels, with insiders revealing that the transfer fee involved in this transfer deal was as high as eighty million pounds!

This tied the world's highest transfer fee record created by Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid! It also surpassed the transfer fee record for English teams buying players set by Chen Hero's transfer from Napoli to Liverpool!

It was like a blockbuster bomb being dropped in a busy city.

The news caused an uproar in the world football scene.

Those wealthy clubs that had failed to compete with Manchester United realized that Manchester United was so ruthless, actually offering eighty million pounds!

They really couldn't afford this price…

Manchester United was making a huge gamble!

Even if Amoroso had potential, maybe he could be worth eighty million pounds in the future, but he was definitely not worth that price now. In order to grab Amoroso, Manchester United was willing to offer such a sky-high price.

It seemed that they had really been driven crazy by Liverpool…

In order to be able to overwhelm Liverpool, they were sparing no expense.

Meanwhile, Manchester United fans were overjoyed to tears after learning the news!

Because the thing they had been most looking forward to had finally happened!

Manchester United had snatched Amoroso, and a return to the peak was just around the corner!

Many Manchester United fans were no longer interested in the team's upcoming games, wishing that the league would end immediately, and then immediately usher in the new season's games, so they could watch Amoroso wreak havoc in the games!

Many Manchester United fans also began to look forward to what surprises the combination of Luis Nacho and Amoroso would bring them.

In their view, the Premier League after Chen Hero's retirement would definitely be Manchester United's world.

Some Manchester United fans even made bold statements, saying that with Amoroso and Nacho, it was only a matter of time before Manchester United surpassed the championship record set by Chen Hero's Liverpool dynasty!

Manchester United fans were running around and shouting that Manchester United's difficult days were finally over!

※※※

Manchester United did not wait for the league to end before announcing Amoroso's joining, but instead announced the news soon after losing to Liverpool, with obvious intentions.

In addition to boosting the morale of Manchester United fans as soon as possible, the most important thing was to打击 (dǎjī – strike) Liverpool.

Liverpool's morale has been high in the second half of the season due to Chen Hero's return, and they can be described as riding the crest of a wave, with high momentum. It completely made people unable to feel that this was Chen Hero's last season before his retirement.

In order to suppress Liverpool's滔天 (tāotiān – monstrous) arrogance, Manchester United finally chose to announce this news as soon as possible at this time.

Even the transfer fee was considered to have been carefully designed—in order to break the Premier League's highest transfer fee record created by Chen Hero, Manchester United was willing to pay eighty million pounds.

Their approach did work.

After Manchester United announced the news, Liverpool fans were wailing everywhere.

Everyone knew that Chen Hero was going to retire this season, and what would happen to Liverpool after his retirement was a topic that everyone tried to avoid. Because everyone knew what would happen. Liverpool had been deeply influenced by Chen Hero in the past eighteen years, and they were already inseparable. If Chen Hero retired, Liverpool would definitely fall into a slump.

At this time, Manchester United, as their mortal enemy, had the terrifying risk combination of Nacho and Amoroso… Then what would happen to Liverpool was predictable.

Thinking of this, Liverpool fans couldn't get excited.

And the most important thing was that they couldn't make any counterattacks.

If it had been a few years earlier, they could have said that we have Hero, and we are not afraid of ten Amorosos!

And no one would have thought they were just putting on a brave face.

Because this was Chen Hero's true level. Before this, countless young geniuses had vowed to challenge Chen Hero's position, fantasizing that as strong and powerful juniors, they could rely on their strong bodies and youthful capital to drag the aging old king off the throne. But over the years, no young person had succeeded.

They all fell in front of Chen Hero's throne, and the flowing blood had already submerged their ankles. The throne that Hero was sitting on was even stained red with blood.

But he was still sitting there, and no one could make his butt move even an inch from the seat.

Until now, he was old, and he decided to leave on his own.

Chen Hero announced his retirement a year in advance, in fact, to give the club time to find a successor. But so far, the club has not made any progress.

Originally, Amoroso, who was most favored by everyone, was also snatched away by Manchester United.

Will Manchester United pull Liverpool down from the throne again, and then Liverpool will fall into twenty years of darkness without a championship?

This was a future that no one wanted to see.

The happiest thing for reporters was the announcement of this news, but what made them even happier was still to come.

Giovanni Leon Amoroso was almost born to be a member of Manchester United. Because without being authorized by anyone from Manchester United, he stabbed Liverpool fans in the back again during an interview with reporters…

Previously, Amoroso was most reluctant for reporters to compare himself with Chen Hero, saying that he was a "Hero the Second."

It stands to reason that being compared with the great Chen Hero was a very honorable thing for the reference object.

You have to know how many people want to reach this height!

But Amoroso just didn't like this comparison.

But this time, he didn't hate discussing topics related to Chen Hero with reporters.

"My transfer fee broke Chen Hero's previous Premier League record? This is just the beginning!" The dark-skinned Amoroso said to reporters with a smug look. "Why did I choose to join Manchester United? Because I want to break all the records he created at Liverpool! Everything!"

At first, the reporters thought it was a good gimmick. But they were all stunned when they heard the end.

Was Amoroso joking? Break all the records Chen Hero created at Liverpool?

Did he know what those records were?

He actually opened his mouth and said he wanted to break them?

One reporter was not sure and asked, "Leon, I didn't hear you wrong, did I…"

But before he could speak, Giovanni Leon Amoroso nodded very definitely: "Write it like that, buddy. Yes, I want to break all the records he created at Liverpool!"

This time, it was obvious that there were gasps among the reporters.

Amoroso was very satisfied with the effect he had created.

He smiled.
