I changed football.

"Li, someone is looking for you outside."

Li Yuan, who scored the only goal of the game, was sitting in the locker room playing on his phone when he heard Nelson push open the locker room door and shout at him.

"Oh, here it comes."

Li Yuan thought it was some kind of interview assignment.

He has never been interviewed by the media before.

Are we going to give an interview now?

As he walked out of the locker room, he saw Nelson waving at him from around the corner.

He was a little puzzled; that corner led to the lounge, and that place was usually deserted on match days.

After walking over, Nelson placed one hand on the door and patted Li Yuan on the shoulder with the other.

"The other party is an investor in Nice, and very likely the future acquirer. They contacted the club's senior management directly to meet with you, and there was nothing I could do to stop them, so—"

Nelson looked helpless.

Li Yuan, looking completely bewildered, pushed open the door to the lounge.

Inside sat a middle-aged man who looked Chinese and was wearing a suit.

"You must be Li Yuan. What a young hero!"

When the middle-aged man saw Li Yuan enter, he walked directly towards Li Yuan and extended his hand.

Li Yuan shook hands with the middle-aged man with a puzzled look on his face.

In his previous life, Li Yuan knew that Nice was a Chinese-owned football team, but in his memory, Nice was acquired around 16. There was a news report back then saying that the female owner of Guizhou Hengfeng Football Club had gone to Nice to learn from her. At the time, that female owner was quite well-known in Chinese football circles, and Li Yuan remembered this news from his previous life. The headlines at that time used phrases like "Newly Acquired Nice."

As for which Chinese capital was involved in the acquisition of Nice, and which Chinese businessman was in charge, to be honest, Li Yuan didn't know much about it in his previous life.

Unlike Zhou Yunjie, the owner of Auxerre, another Chinese-owned Ligue 1 team, who frequently appears in the news, the Chinese owner of Nice seems to have rarely been in the news.

Li Yuan hadn't eaten anything like memory bread, so he only remembered some things that left a deep impression on him about his past life. He must have seen the name of the Chinese owner in Nice mentioned in the news he saw in his past life, but he didn't pay much attention to the Chinese owners in Nice at the time. In addition, Nice had less connection with Chinese football later on, so Li Yuan paid little attention to it. Therefore, it's normal that he can't remember.

Seeing Li Yuan's expression, the middle-aged man opposite him smiled and said, "I am Li Jian, the founder of Newtie Capital. I am currently a minor shareholder in Nice, but we are already pushing forward with the acquisition of Nice Club. It's almost done, and there are only some procedural issues left."

"Mr. Li Jian, what brings you here?"

Li Jian laughed heartily, then revealed a very confident expression: "You were already quite famous before, and many fans in China are paying close attention to you. We came here specifically to watch your game, and you even scored a goal! We're so lucky!"

Li Jian paused for a moment after saying this, and Li Yuan could already guess what Li Jian was going to do; most likely, he wanted to sign him.

Sure enough, Li Jian then started making empty promises to Li Yuan.

"We can play in the Champions League next season. If you come to Nice, I'll let you go straight into the first team next season. You'll improve even faster if you train with the first team."

And so on, followed by many more promises.

Li Yuan listened patiently to what he had to say, and then directly rejected Li Jian's empty promises.

Li Jian was clearly taken aback by Li Yuan's direct refusal, but he quickly recovered.

"Monaco agreed to let the two of us talk here directly. To put it bluntly, Monaco doesn't value you that much. And I've also looked into it; your contract is still a youth training contract, so the termination fee is very low. Monaco isn't ready to discuss a professional contract with you yet, which clearly shows they don't value you very much."

Most players would have something to say if they heard that.

However, Li Yuan knew clearly that in his previous life, Mbappe signed his first professional contract in March 2016, when he was just 17 years and 4 months old.

Monaco is clearly not as Li Jian described.

Of course, Li Yuan was also certain that Li Jian was right about one thing: Monaco certainly didn't value him that much right now. After all, he had talent, but in the eyes of Monaco's management, they definitely valued Mbappe more.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to let their own players talk to people from other clubs at Monaco B's home stadium, especially about potential transfers.

The reason Li Yuan rejected Li Jian was too simple.

In his previous life, Monaco rose to prominence in the following season with the emergence of Mbappe. Since Li Yuan knew about these things, he naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to rise to the top. Moreover, he not only wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, but he also wanted to participate in it and make it even bigger.

Li Yuan has been reborn for quite some time now, and he has a very clear plan for his career over the next one to two seasons.

The most important thing this season, the 2015-16 season, is to be selected for the first team and stay in the first team as much as possible.

Next season, 2016-17, my goal is to become a starter for Monaco's first team as soon as possible, and then create a new era with Mbappe.

By the summer of 17, regardless of whether Mbappe will change in this generation, Li Yuan will be heading to a bigger stage that summer.

He hasn't decided where to go yet, but currently, Li Yuan's plans don't include leaving Monaco.

Just kidding, with Monaco as a big name, why would I go to Nice?

Li Jian looked at Li Yuan with disbelief and said, "You're Chinese, you have this talent, and we're a Chinese-owned team. Your arrival will be a huge help to you. In Monaco, you were just an outsider."

Li Yuan was somewhat speechless at Li Jian's words; there was no point in saying more when people didn't see eye to eye.

He stated directly, "I currently have no plans to leave Monaco, so please don't worry about it."

After saying that, he pushed the door open and left.

Unexpectedly, after pushing open the door and turning a corner, I saw Nelson standing in the corridor.

He saw Li Yuan come out: "So—"

"Of course I chose to stay."

Nelson breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, Leonardo will love this news. He values ​​you and Killian very much."

Li Yuan nodded; he naturally understood this.

Once he got home, he quickly forgot about it.

He has to go for extra practice later; that's what he's worried about right now.
