Chapter 794: Teach Yang Huan a Lesson
"He must have done it on purpose, he must have done it on purpose!"
In a hotel room not far from Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium, Abramovich was roaring angrily, and Granovskaia and Mendes, who were sitting in front of him, dared not say a word.
This trip to Camp Nou did not yield any gains, but he even suffered such humiliation. How could Abramovich, who has always been so proud and complacent, swallow this?
He now has only one thought in his mind, and that is revenge!
He not only wanted to take revenge on Yang Huan for dismantling his plan, but also on Barcelona for humiliating him.
He was even very certain in his heart that Yang Huan and Barcelona must have joined forces to target him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't believe that there were such coincidences in the world.
As the saying goes, people fight for a breath, and Buddhas fight for a stick of incense.
If Abramovich doesn't get back his anger today, he will never be able to bear it.
"Jorge, who are Barcelona's transfer targets?" Abramovich asked gloomily.
Looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was furious.
No wonder, for someone like him, money is not a problem, but losing face is a big deal.
Since we have lost face at Camp Nou, we must find a way to get it back!
Mendes knew what was going on when he saw Abramovich's expression. He nodded and said, "Barcelona is currently undergoing restructuring and needs to recruit players in many positions, but they don't have much money. So I guess Rosell will choose to sell Fabregas and Pedro. On the one hand, it should be to introduce Turan, and on the other hand, it is to repay the transfer debt from last year."
Seeing that Abramovich was not very interested in this, Mendes immediately got to the point.
"Because they don't have much money, they generally prioritize cost-effectiveness when selecting players. I got the news that they are discussing Rakitic's transfer with Sevilla. This midfielder has performed very well in the past season."
"Rakitic?" Abramovich obviously had never heard of this name.
After Granovskaia took over Chelsea, he worked hard to familiarize himself with and understand football, so the results are now showing.
"Rakitic is good at both offense and defense, which fits Mourinho's tactical style very well. He was also on our transfer list. Sevilla insisted on paying a buyout fee of 25 million euros, so..."
After listening to this, Abramovich thought about it for a while, and immediately turned to look at Mendes, "Buy it, go back to Sevilla immediately, Rakitic, we bought it!"
After saying this, Abramovich sneered and said, "If we can't buy Fabregas, we can buy Rakitic. Let's see what Barcelona's expression will be if they sell Fabregas but can't buy Rakitic!"
Granovskia and Mendes looked at each other and found it funny.
By then, Russell should be feeling like committing suicide, right?
It’s really frustrating to say, this transfer market is really a game for the rich.
Just like Abramovich, if he wants to take revenge, he can do so at will and destroy others. Isn't it because he is rich?
"Oh, by the way, Marina, I heard you say before that Barcelona wants to sign David Luiz?"
Granovskia nodded immediately. “Yes, but we haven’t had any contact with them.”
"Then make contact!"
"Contact?" Granovskia didn't understand.
Didn’t we just have a falling out with Barcelona?
As soon as you turn around, you are going to sell your players to Barcelona?
"Yes, since they are playing dirty, let's not be polite. Just get in touch with them and try to delay them. Don't they want David Luiz? We will give them hope, but..."
Mendes is also a shrewd man. He understood it immediately. "But at the last moment, he called a stop!"
"Wow, Jorge, you really understand me!" Abramovich immediately burst into laughter.
This move is indeed insidious, but it is not uncommon in the transfer market.
It is most often used on teams that dislike each other, or those teams that are facing forced poaching.
For example, when Real Madrid wanted to poach Cristiano Ronaldo, didn’t Manchester United do the same thing every year?
After a burst of laughter, Abramovich felt much better. "Anything else?"
Mendes nodded, "Yes, Barcelona also wants to introduce a frontcourt offensive player, they are looking at Cuadrado from Fiorentina, and a left back, they are looking at Mathieu from Valencia."
Portuguese agents have very extensive connections in Spain and Portugal and are very well-informed.
Almost every move of Barcelona did not escape his eyes.
Except for transfers like Yang Huan's, which were agreed upon on the spot, such transfers are generally very rare.
"Cuadrado? Mathieu?" Abramovich shook his head. "I've never heard of him. But since Barcelona likes him, it proves that the player has the ability. Buy him!"
Granovskia listened to this and quickly reminded him, "Boss, Cuadrado was the best dribbler in Serie A last season. He is very strong, but also very expensive. It would be hard to get him without 30 million pounds."
"In addition, Mathieu has also performed very well in La Liga. Valencia was recently acquired by Chinese from Singapore, who are not short of money. If they want to bring him in, it will probably cost more than 20 million pounds."
"Chinese?" Abramovich felt uncomfortable when he heard the word.
Because he immediately thought of Yang Huan.
Granovskia actually couldn't tell the difference between overseas Chinese and Chinese. In her opinion, they were all the same, so she nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that the acquisition has been completed, so Valencia is making a big move to recruit players."
"Does it have anything to do with Yang Huan?" Abramovich asked.
“It’s not clear yet!”
Abramovich snorted twice, "Then you must buy it, smash it!"
Granovskia felt helpless as he looked at his boss who had gone berserk, but he still wrote it down silently.
"Jorge, is there any way to teach Yang Huan a lesson?" Abramovich asked with concern.
"Teach Yang Huan a lesson?" Mendes frowned. This was not a good thing for him.
To be honest, being a broker is a bit like being a salesperson. The most important thing is to make money through harmony and relationships.
If we offend Yang Huan for the sake of Abramovich, it would be somewhat unprofitable.
However, since Abramovich asked, Mendes had to think about it carefully.
"Yang Huan currently has teams in the five major leagues, including Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, Inter Milan in Serie A, Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Monaco in Ligue 1, and Hamburg in the Bundesliga."
"Given Chelsea's current situation, it is basically impossible to poach players from Southampton and Atletico Madrid, not to mention the Saints. Atletico Madrid's players are too popular, and it will cost a heavy price to poach them. Moreover, Atletico Madrid itself wants to sell players, so it won't achieve the effect you want, Roman."
Abramovich kept nodding his head. It was indeed true.
Since they were going to dig it, they would definitely dig it in a way that would make Yang Huan hate it to the point of gnashing his teeth.
"So, if you want to teach Yang Huan a lesson, it's best to start with Inter Milan and Hamburg."
After hearing this, Abramovich couldn't help but applaud inwardly.
Isn’t it?
Serie A and Bundesliga are originally training grounds for Premier League teams, but Inter Milan's reorganization was not ideal, and Hamburg was just a little bit away from relegation.
Just think about it, with Chelsea's influence, it would be easy to poach players from these two teams.
Speaking of Inter Milan, Abramovich thought of one person.
"Marina, didn't Mourinho mention before that there is a man called Guarin, is he still alive?"
"Guarin?" Granovskaia thought for a moment and shook his head. "No longer. Guarin was sent to Juventus by Inter Milan half a year ago. This transfer was criticized by Inter Milan fans!"
"Oh, who else is in Inter Milan now?"
"Striker Icardi, center back Ranocchia, goalkeeper Handanovic are all in our plans."
After Granovskaia finished speaking, he added, "Rano is still the captain of Inter Milan!"
"Captain?" Abramovich became excited after hearing this.
"Hello, Captain! I'm looking for his captain!"
Nowadays, how can anyone who can become a team captain be an ordinary player?
He must be a close and loyal minister!
If we don't recruit players like this, who else should we recruit?
As for Icardi, Abramovich has heard of this player. The previous friend's wife scandal was very popular, but it is said that the player is very strong and has been on Chelsea's transfer list, so he must be good.
As for Handanovic, I have never heard of this player and I don't know him.
"Boss, these players are not cheap. Dortmund, Arsenal and Manchester United have also taken a fancy to Ranocchia, whose value is around 15 million pounds. Icardi is even more popular. Even Real Madrid and Barcelona have been rumored to be interested in him. The transfer fee is basically more than 25 million pounds."
After hearing this, Abramovich had an idea. Wouldn’t the total cost be 40 million pounds?
However, considering the team's transfer strategy, which may include selling David Luiz for cash, it would be quite cost-effective to introduce Ranocchia and then Icardi to fill the vacancies in two positions at one go.
"Okay, then I'll leave these two players to you, Marina!" Abramovich instructed.
"Well, okay, I understand!" Granovskia could only nod in agreement.
It was at this moment that Mendes suddenly burst into laughter.
"Roman, I suddenly thought of someone. I guess, if we can dig him up, Yang Huan will be so angry that he will vomit blood."
"Oh? Who is it?" Abramovich was suddenly excited.
If he could really piss Yang Huan off to death, then he would think it was worth spending any amount of money!
"Hamburg's Calhanoglu, 20 years old, is the most dazzling talented midfielder in the Bundesliga. This season, he alone helped Hamburg successfully avoid relegation. If it weren't for him, Yang Huan would have acquired a Bundesliga team now."
"Haha, is this player really that strong?"
Mendes nodded confidently, "Most of the top teams in Europe, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and other teams, are paying attention to him. What do you think?"
"More importantly, the player is very disappointed with Hamburg's situation and wants to leave the team, but Hamburg's new head coach Tuchel is trying every means to keep him. Hamburg's new technical director Beiersdorf has publicly stated that Calhanoglu is the team's most important player and will do everything possible to keep him."
At this point, Mendes raised his lips and said, "Yang Huan has always liked to train young players. Calhanoglu is the type he admires the most. What do you think, if we dig him out..."
The scene of Yang Huan being furious seemed to have appeared in Abramovich's mind. The picture was so beautiful that it made people intoxicated just thinking about it.
"Dig, dig, you must dig!"
Not to mention that Chelsea just happens to be short of midfielders, it would be enough to make Yang Huan mad. If they don’t dig such a player, who else should they dig?
Hehehehe, Yang Huan, you fucking stole my Fabregas and Pedro, so I'll poach a few of your players.
