"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, please allow me to consider it."

In a restaurant in Birmingham, Lu Wei, Steele and Blake sat across from them the talented teenager Grealish of Aston Villa and his agent Jonathan. Barnett.

The meeting came for Grealish's transfer, and just a week ago, Aston Villa finally agreed to FC United's transfer request for Grealish, 30 million euros, if it is dealed, it will be the second highest transfer fee Aston Villa has received, the first being Benteke three years ago.

And 30 million euros is only a fixed transfer fee, and there is a floating clause worth a total of 15 million euros, and the cost of being selected for the national team, championship compensation and other expenses are added, from any point of view, Grealish will bring huge benefits to Aston Villa.

What's more, last year's introduction of Holihaan and Hogan from FC United at a low price, these two players have raised the Lions' fighting power to the top of the Championship, Aston Villa has tasted the sweetness from them, next season, FC United new signing Tomori will also be loaned to Aston Villa to help them complete the promotion cause.

However, all this is premised on the fact that Grealish can move to FC United, and the Reds who promoted to the Premier League last summer recruited him, but were rejected by Grealish, who wanted to take Aston Villa back to the Premier League.

Last season, Aston Villa fell in the final promotion play-off final, and Grealish is confident that he and Aston Villa will succeed this season.

Lu Wei also knows that this season is the last chance to buy Grealish, and next season Aston Villa will really return to the Premier League, although the process is difficult, but also solidified Grealish's determination to stick to until 2021 under the double attack of Manchester City's gold dollar and honor.

Seeing that this handsome boy once again refused his invitation, Lu Wei was also very patient, he knew the reason why Grealish insisted on Aston Vera.

"Jack, I know and understand your feelings, Aston Villa is your home, but you are 23 years old, do you still want to play in the Championship? With your qualities, you can now be selected for the England national team, but why would Southgate never consider you? It is because no one would consider making a Championship player a member of the English national team, let alone the Championship, and even Le Tisel could not enter the FA's eyes that year.

Grealish trembled when he heard this, Le Tisel's name is familiar to any English player, from 1986 to 2002, he dedicated his entire career to Southampton, even if every year there are giants to recruit him, he is praised by Southamptonians as God, and one of the greatest stars in the history of the Premier League.

But such a great figure, the national team experience only a pitiful eight, and six meaningless friendly matches, 0 goals and 0 assists, the entire career except for the title of "Saint", not a single honor, even Kane has a World Cup golden boot.

Could it be like that if I stay at Aston Villa?

Grealish thought suddenly.

Seeing this, Blakes almost proposed a contract that FC United could give.

"Jack, and Mr. Barnett, this is our pre-contract, you look at it first, the contract is five years, the salary is 50,000 euros a week, with the bonus of goals, the championship prize and the salary increase clause, in terms of funds, we may not be able to compare with the rich people like Manchester City and Chelsea, but our club is not short of money."

Lu Wei also helped Grealish dispel his concerns from a tactical level.

"Jack, I don't guarantee that you will be the main player of our team, but the club will not spend so much money on a substitute, our team is very competitive on the left wing, but the style of several of you is different, I will arrange to play according to the state and tactics of the players, our new season is not only the Premier League but also the Champions League, I hope you can be ready, ready to make your name known all over Europe."

Jonathan. Barnett already wants to say yes for Grealish, and he has always had a good relationship with FC United, James. Justin, Billy. Gilmore's two FC United youth players are also his players, and Pope and Pickford, who once goalkeepered the Reds in the lower leagues, have also hired him as agents, so Barnett hopes that Grealish will leave Aston Villa for a bigger stage.

But Grealish's words extinguished his impulse.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, please allow me to think about it and give me two days."

"Yes, no problem, don't stress Jack, respect your inner choice, Newton Heath will always welcome you."

Lu Wei didn't say anything more, shook hands with Grealish with a smile, settled the bill with the restaurant and left the restaurant, just let Blake stay in Birmingham to wait for news, and returned directly to Manchester with Steele.

"Lu, you won't talk about it anymore?"

Lu Wei was sitting in the back seat and closed his eyes, and when he heard Steele's inquiry, his eyelids did not even lift.

"There's nothing more to say, Grealish is a smart man, he'll know what to do best for himself and Aston Villa, and Barnett is still next to him, or you think I'm letting Blake stay there for something, the club has a lot of work waiting for him."

Grealish has been thinking since Lu Wei left, Barnett is around to watch him without saying a word and a little helpless, he is also a successful agent, also a little famous in England, although Pickford and Pop have been famous for a long time, but Grealish is the most talented player in his mind.

As early as when Aston Villa was relegated from the Premier League, other Premier League teams threw olive branches to Grealish, but they were rejected by the young Grealish, and now three years later, Grealish has also changed from the talented teenager to a very talented young player, if this season can successfully lead Aston Villa back to the Premier League, Grealish will become another Torres, but what if it fails again?

This season's Championship competition is even fiercer than last season, with Stoke City, relegated from the Premier League, spending €60 million in the transfer window and vowing to return to the Premier League like Newcastle United the year before, and although Swansea and West Bromwich Albion did not bring in a large number of signings, the main team did not lose much.

Blackpool and Wigan Athletic, promoted from the League One, are back in the Championship after a year, English football's first top-flight champion - Preston also returned to the Championship after seven years, and Norwich City, Sheffield United, Leeds United, Myburgh, Derby County, Hull City, which have all played in the Premier League, Aston Villa simply does not have enough confidence to overtake.

But for the club, this year is not a big deal to come back next year, but for players with limited careers, a year means another year older, three years ago only 20 years old Grealish can still accept to play in the Championship to hone himself, but if you still play in the Championship after two years, it is not to temper yourself, it is to consume yourself.

But Grealish really loves Aston Villa, he's been playing here since he was 3 years old, and no one in the team loves Villa Park more than he does.

But he knew that sooner or later he would leave here, and the barn could not hold back the eagle who wanted to fly the blue sky.

Two days later, Lu Wei received a call from Grealish in his office.

"Head, when do I report to the team?"
