Chapter 790 Is it too cheap?
"We at Southampton will never rest on our laurels..."
When Yang Huan's resounding promise appeared on the TV in the high-level conference room of Stamford Bridge through the BBC live broadcast, Abramovich was so angry that he grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV directly.
If there weren't other guests present, he would have probably wanted to smash the TV!
Isn't Yaya Gopee's goal to win a Champions League title?
Is it necessary to be so arrogant?
Living on the laurels of the past?
What do you mean?
Are you mocking and ridiculing us Chelsea?
Everyone in the conference room was shocked by Abramovich's actions. Some even wondered why this Russian tycoon lost his temper when it came to Southampton and Yang Huan?
Granovskia sensed the awkward atmosphere in the meeting room and immediately laughed awkwardly, "Yang Huan is quite arrogant. What achievements does Southampton have for them to defend? Right? Haha..."
But what is the reality?
This joke isn't funny at all, okay?
At least, no one else in the conference room laughed much, and even if some people laughed, it was very forced.
In terms of performance, Southampton may not have a glorious history, but in the past few years, it has been better than Chelsea!
"Southampton's management and decision-makers are smart, pragmatic and courageous. It is not easy to make such a decision at this time!"
The speaker is Portugal's super agent, Jorge Mendes.
At this time, only he had the courage to continue saying such things in front of Abramovich.
If it were Granovskya, I'm afraid the Russian tycoon would not think too much and would just slap him in the face.
But those present were all people from the football world, and they all understood what Mendes meant.
Given Southampton's current situation, if they retain the existing players and maintain the current mature framework that has been operating the team for four years, it will be easy for them to continue to achieve results next season.
Of course, it is simply impossible to make any further breakthroughs!
It can be said that this year is the peak of Southampton!
At least, it is the pinnacle of this lineup!
But if a blood transfusion is required, the risks that come with it will become a big problem.
Especially considering that the Saints won the Champions League thanks to Ibrahimovic's crucial goal.
He just helped you win the Champions League, but in the blink of an eye, you sold him. What do you think the fans will think?
If the team performs well and everything goes smoothly in the new season, then everything will be fine. But if the team performs badly, the fans' saliva will be enough to kill you!
"I have received news that Southampton has reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain. Ibrahimovic will transfer to the French Ligue 1 at a friendly price and join Paris Saint-Germain. The Qatari tycoon has promised to continue to maintain his current annual salary."
Ibrahimovic's annual salary is now the third highest in the world, behind only Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.
To be honest, the only club capable of maintaining Ibrahimovic's annual salary is probably Paris Saint-Germain.
Southampton is also an option, but let me ask you, one Ibrahimovic can support two Suarez, what will the Saints choose?
Jorge Mendes saw that everyone noticed him and smiled, "After Ibrahimovic transferred there, they agreed to let Falcao leave the team!"
After hearing what the Portuguese agent said, Granovskaia immediately glanced at Abramovich and then at Bruce Buck. Both of them were motionless, so he had to step in himself.
"Jorge, it is true that we need to further strengthen our frontcourt because we only have one Mandzukic, but we are a little worried about Falcao's situation. After all, he has not played since he was seriously injured in January!"
After hearing this, Mendes laughed and said, "Of course, this is indeed a problem!"
After a pause, he added, "Roman trusts me and is willing to listen to my advice, so I will recommend the players I think are suitable. As for your choice, that is your freedom. Besides, Manchester United is also very interested in Falcao."
Manchester United?
The three giants of Chelsea looked at each other and noticed the strange look in each other's eyes.
If we were to say which two teams were the most famous bad brothers in the Premier League in the past season, they would definitely be the Red Devils Manchester United and the Blues Chelsea.
No one expected that the two Premier League giants would end up empty-handed in the past season.
Moyes took over Ferguson's championship-contending team, but their performance plummeted in the new season, and they ranked eighth in the league after the season.
And what about Chelsea?
It was just as bad, ranking seventh in the Premier League after the season, just slightly higher than Moyes' team.
Both teams are completely out of European competition, so the problems are serious now.
"Manchester United are also interested in Falcao?" Abramovich asked.
"That's right!" Mendes nodded. "Manchester United has been under a lot of pressure due to the poor performance in the past season, especially the poor results of the team. The revenue has also dropped sharply. The finances are facing big problems, and the stock price has also fallen rapidly. Therefore, the Glazer family has reached the point where they have to make a big investment."
"Therefore, almost the entire European football world knows that Manchester United will launch a retaliatory signing campaign, and the value of all the players they target will skyrocket!"
The so-called retaliatory signings are like Manchester United, which did not have any truly high-level signings in the past few seasons. After accumulating, they all burst out in one go this summer.
Manchester United's current lineup can be said to be full of holes. Right-back, center-back, left-back, midfielder, wing and forward, except for the goalkeeper, there is almost no position that does not need to be strengthened by recruitment.
Now, Moyes' dismissal is a foregone conclusion. There are four candidates who trust the head coach. One is Simeone of Atletico Madrid, but he has just renewed his contract with Atletico Madrid; the other is Klopp of Dortmund, but he has also announced that he will take charge of Inter Milan.
The other is the current head coach of the Netherlands national team, Louis van Gaal, but there are reports that Van Gaal signed with Tottenham Hotspur a few months ago.
Therefore, Manchester United is currently in urgent consultations, and the final result is likely to be that acting head coach Giggs will be officially promoted to the regular position.
Manchester United currently has a transfer budget of 100 million pounds, which will set off a bloody storm in this summer's transfer market.
Abramovich thought for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Mourinho, who had been sitting next to him in silence.
The Portuguese madman didn't look very happy because the team's performance in the past season was disappointing.
He has even threatened that if the team does not strengthen its recruitment this summer, he will consider resigning!
"Jose, what do you think?" the Russian asked.
Mourinho didn't think much about it. "I don't have any other opinions, but it is very necessary to introduce a strong center forward."
"Not only center forwards, but also wingers, organizing midfielders, defensive midfielders, left backs and central defenders, and even a goalkeeper are what we are in urgent need of now."
After hearing what Mourinho said, Abramovich frowned.
Because he found that Manchester United wanted to make retaliatory signings, so why didn’t Chelsea do the same?
There is only one forward, Mandzukic, but the problem is that he has suffered a lot of injuries since joining Chelsea and is unable to guarantee Chelsea's offense at all.
Therefore, it is necessary to introduce another high-level striker.
There is also no one in the midfield, especially the defensive midfielder, who has become a cancer for Chelsea!
Left-back Ashley Cole is already 33 years old and is simply unable to be a starter. As for the center-back position, Terry is too old, and Benatia has not been able to live up to his value since joining Chelsea. Only David Luiz is holding the team together.
But the Portuguese are unstable and hard to trust.
Therefore, in many games, Mourinho even promoted Czech teenager Kalas, who performed quite well.
However, what is quite depressing is that there are not many people on the front line, but Mourinho does not like to loan out Lukaku, who has performed well. It is really frustrating.
Abramovich looked at Granovskaia. "What are your plans?"
He decided to listen to the plan first. After all, he had to consider whether his wallet was fat enough.
Granovskia hummed, "For center forward, in addition to Falcao, we are also considering Remy from Queens Park Rangers, who should be worth around 13 million pounds."
"As for the midfield, the first player we consider is Inter Milan's Khedira. He played under Jose when he was at Real Madrid, so we are very familiar with each other. But now that Klopp has taken charge of Inter Milan, he is said to value him very much. It will be difficult to bring him in."
Abramovich frowned when he heard this.
Inter Milan?
Isn’t that Yang Huan?
Poaching people from Yang Huan, damn it, do you really think I have a lot of money?
"Are there no other options?"
Abramovich is a little bit afraid of Yang Huan!
It's best not to have anything to do with this guy if you can.
"Oh, yes, Illarramendi from Atletico Madrid, but it's almost impossible for the Colchoneros to sell him, unless..."
Before Granovskaia could finish, Abramovich had already shaken his head, "Why are all of them Yang Huan's players? Is it true that Europe is so big, there are no other outstanding defensive midfielders?"
Granovskia just remembered it at this time, didn't he?
His boss and Yang Huan are seriously at odds, and he always recommends Yang Huan's players. How could his boss be happy?
And at this time, Jorge Mendes spoke.
"Speaking of midfielders, I have a few candidates here. William Carvalho of Sporting Lisbon, I have recommended him several times before. He was the best midfielder in the Portuguese Super League last season. Both Manchester United and Real Madrid are interested in him. His strength is unquestionable, but his price is not cheap at all."
"If William Carvalho prefers a defensive and organizing midfielder, Zenit's Witsel is worth considering!"
But soon, Mendes smiled and said, "I heard that Barcelona is going to raise funds this summer to carry out team transfers. Many players, including Fabregas, have been included in the list of players that can be sold, so..."
"Fabregas?" Abramovich's eyes suddenly lit up.
This is a world-class player!
"Yes, this player's performance in Barcelona has always been unsatisfactory, so Barcelona is considering selling him for cash, and the transfer fee will not be too high."
"How much?" Abramovich suddenly became interested.
He is a world-class midfielder. Introducing such a player will not only enhance Chelsea's midfield strength, but also please the fans and increase the attention of sponsors.
If you don't operate a transfer like this, what's the point of operating it?
"About 30 million euros!" Mendes said after thinking for a while.
"30 million euros?" Abramovich laughed. "Haha, that's too cheap, isn't it?"
Isn’t it?
Not to mention that Fabregas is in his prime, just looking at his strength and his performance in the Premier League, 30 million euros is worth it!
"Marina, call Barcelona right now, 30 million euros, we've bought it!"
Abramovich was also rarely generous.
The point is, this transfer is such a good deal, isn't it?
He even thought that as long as Barcelona nodded, Chelsea would fly over tomorrow, oh no, in the afternoon, to discuss the transfer!
Hehe, if there are a few more transfers like Fabregas, we can also put together a world-class lineup of star players.
By that time, Southampton, Manchester City, all
