There were 10 players confirmed to be released from the team today, while only 7 new players were successfully signed.
Following the announcement of this news, some sharp-eyed fans shifted their attention from the list to Messi, whose whereabouts had been unknown.
"I have a bold idea. Messi has been uncertain about his next move. Could he also be aiming for this Manchester team?"
"Exactly! Messi and Cao Baiming are absolutely good friends. They must have reached an agreement in private long ago!"
"Oh my god, if Messi also joins Manchester United, everything will change completely. They'll be invincible!"
"I can't wait to see Messi and Guardiola reunite! No, I want to see Messi, Guardiola, and Neymar join forces again!!"
It was at this moment that the fans suddenly remembered Suarez, who had just parted ways with the team, was also unaccounted for.
Suarez, a notorious chatterbox, hadn't updated his Twitter for a whole month! This was an extraordinary occurrence under the current circumstances.
Fans began to speculate: could Suarez also be joining Manchester United? If so, it would be too dreamlike!
"Impossible, impossible. How could such a dreamlike situation happen in reality!"
"Seeing Neymar, Messi, and Guardiola return to the team is already a stroke of luck. We can't ask for too much! I just hope Messi can come. If he really does, I'll become a fan of Manchester United next season!"
"I declare, if Messi joins Manchester United, Manchester United will gain a new fan!!!"
Fans were passionately discussing under the news. Meanwhile, the club and Cao Baiming had already begun preparations for the next day.
Due to being extremely busy, Cao Baiming didn't even have time to browse the fans' reactions and comments.
It wasn't until very late that night, just before Cao Baiming went to bed, that he opened his phone and briefly scanned the messages from the fans. By then, the comments had exceeded 100,000.
As expected, these fans were indeed discussing such matters.
However, Cao Baiming had to admit that the fans' intuition was quite sharp; they had already anticipated that Neymar, Suarez, and Messi would all be joining Manchester United simultaneously!
He wondered if it was luck or genuine insight.
Cao Baiming's lips curved slightly, as he knew these fans would go completely wild tomorrow, ten times more so than they were now.
When Messi and Suarez were officially announced to have signed with the team tomorrow, these guys would probably lose their minds!
With this sense of excitement, Cao Baiming turned off his phone and drifted into sleep.
The next day...
The club had also invited several players to the venue. Meanwhile, the players who had successfully signed the day before were already on the field playing football.
While not a formal training session, it was a good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other and build rapport.
Cao Baiming only woke up at 10 AM that morning, around which time the club's signings were already underway.
This was the purpose of hiring helpers; how could he possibly manage all this work alone? Cao Baiming thought this to himself and felt quite pleased.
Suarez, Neymar, and Messi appeared on the same pitch, which was Manchester United's long-standing home ground, Old Trafford.
That morning, there were quite a few tabloid reporters and curious fans around the Manchester United club. However, none of them managed to capture any crucial moments.
They all arrived by car and only revealed their faces after reaching the restricted area around the stadium, so no one could take any photos.
The players signing today included Carlos, Suarez, Messi, Hakimi, and Gvardiol.
Although there were only five of them, it was even more luxurious and unexpected than yesterday!!
Each of them was very satisfied with the signing process, as if it were not a big deal at all. The agents barely had to say anything, everything proceeded according to standard procedures, and there was no room for negotiation.
The price offered by Cao Baiming made it impossible for them to demand higher.
The entire day was hectic for the players and club executives, as they were all busy with the relevant matters. Even their lunch break was completely occupied with these tasks within the club.
By evening, Suarez, the last player to sign, had also completed the paperwork.
Cao Baiming received the news that everything had been successfully concluded. These were his plans for the day, and once the last player was signed, the work would stop, regardless of the time.
"Everyone worked hard. Today's business went very smoothly!" Mike said to everyone in the office.
Mike was no longer just Cao Baiming's agent; he was also his personal secretary, and his status in the room was currently the highest.
When Mike spoke, the people around him listened as if they were hearing their boss speak.
The agents who came to the club to sign their clients for the club, seeing Mike's current demeanor, regretted not having taken on Cao Baiming's business.
A simple change had led to such a significant difference, making one ponder the rules of the world and whether they truly understood them.
Neymar, Messi, and Suarez, reunited, chose to have dinner together. After all, from today onwards, they were teammates again!
This was a historic moment, almost tear-jerking. Ten years had passed in a flash, and time had flown by so quickly.
Each of them had aged considerably, but their pure hearts remained unchanged. Despite the passage of time, their love for football remained as strong as ever.
Looking at Messi and Neymar, who had grown beards, Suarez instantly felt out of place.
