Chapter 941 - Why Don't You Grab a Bank?
"Crying?"
At Stamford Bridge in London's West End, Abramovich shook a copy of The Times in his hand and sneered.
"Do you think I'm going to cry?"
Without waiting for the rest of the room to answer, the Russians themselves were already smiling and shaking their heads.
"No, no, no, I don't cry, on the contrary, I laugh, you know why?"
When he said this, Abramovich had already stood up with a smile, "I laugh so much, Southampton's management is a bunch of stupid forks, and they don't use a championship coach like Bielsa, but they choose a coach who has been abandoned by us, you say, isn't this a stupid fork?" β
Carlo Ancelotti coached Chelsea a few years ago, and the results in his first season were also quite good, leading Chelsea to win the Premier League, but he was only halfway through his second season before he left the class.
Roman Abramovich's logic now is that a guy who can't get along at Stamford Bridge has been invited by Southampton to coach, which does not mean that we Chelsea are stepping on Southampton's head.
At first glance, this logic seems to be really like that, but why does it always make people feel a little weird?
How can this be counted?
"I seem to have seen the day when Southampton declined, because I said earlier, Yang Huan's bastard doesn't understand football at all, as soon as Bielsa falls, he will be finished, and now it's just the beginning!"
The Russians shouted loudly.
His tone, his expression, seemed to tell everyone that as soon as the Saints fell, Chelsea had a chance.
But anyone with a modicum of sanity should know very well that these are completely different things, aren't they?
The Russian apparently noticed that the group of club executives present were not so easy to fool around, so they quickly shifted the subject to Chelsea themselves.
"Tell us about the transfer market right now!" Abramovich sat back down.
Granovskia immediately stood up, "Roman, we have followed your previous instructions to sell a number of players that the team does not want before bringing in players, and we have started to look for buyers in the transfer market, and there is some progress. β
Abramovich nodded and hummed, feeling that his assistant had improved much more efficiently.
"Bayern Munich, Roma and Juventus are very interested in Benatia, and we have approached Bayern Munich and they offer the highest price."
"How many?"
"Fifteen million euros!"
Abramovich's eyelids jumped, Nimei, only fifteen million euros?
I had spent 30 million pounds, or 36 million euros, to buy Benatia.
Doesn't that mean that I lost 20 million euros in two years?
I'm really!
But Abramovich now knows in his heart that he can't sell it.
Because even if he sells all these players, the funds obtained by cashing out will not be enough for him to reorganize the team.
If he doesn't sell, unless he's willing to pay the money himself, where does Chelsea's rebuilding begin?
"Sell!" Abramovich gritted his teeth, he should be divorced again!
'Cuadrado is not in the list that Mourinho has given us, and we have been in contact with Barcelona before, but they are no longer interested in Cuadrado.
When Abramovich heard this, he sneered, "What's the matter, you're still pretending to be pure!" β
"At the moment, Cuadrado is more interested in Serie A teams, Juventus, Roma, Inter Milan and AC Milan, where AC Milan means a season loan with a buyout clause, but they are only willing to give a loan fee of 1 million and a buyout fee of 15 million euros at most."
"Fifteen million euros?" Abramovich sneered directly, "You ask Galliani, is it stupid?" β
It cost more than 33 million euros to bring in Cuadrado, and now it's only 15 million euros?
"Juventus is also loaned first and then bought out, they give a loan fee of 1.5 million, and the buyout fee is 20 million euros, but 20 million euros will be paid in installments for three years!"
"I'm rubbing, damn it, Italy is a bunch of poor ghosts!" Abramovich scolded indignantly.
"Roma also have no money, so they can only give a transfer fee of 15 million euros at most, pay 10 million first, and pay the remaining 5 million in two years."
When Abramovich heard this, he almost felt the urge to cry.
Big brother, it's only five million, can you be more refreshed?
"Marina, is this Italian team really poor like this?" Abramovich asked depressedly.
Granovschia was a little amused, nodded and said: "The purchasing power of Serie A in recent years has indeed been very weak, generally speaking, a transfer of about 20 million euros can even hope to get the bid king in Italy." β
Abramovich really has the urge to scold his mother, about 20 million euros, he can become the king?
In the Premier League, relegation teams have more than that!
"Boss, actually, the offer given by Inter Milan is the most suitable."
"Inter?" Abramovich frowned, isn't it Yang Huan's team?
Granovskia nodded, "yes, didn't we owe money to Icardi and Ranocchia when we brought in them?" β
"Is there such a thing?" Abramovich really forgot about it.
Granovskia smiled bitterly, boss, everyone has been used by you for a year, you can't deny it.
"And what do they mean?"
"I was called by Fasone from Inter Milan and they meant to bring in Cuadrado with the 20 million euros we owe, and we were supposed to pay for it in the next year."
When Abramovich heard this, his mind immediately began to calculate.
Inter Milan's proposal is actually quite good, but Yang Huan's bastard looks annoying.
No matter, let's sell the players first.
Nimei, the Italian team is poorer than the other, it is better to throw it to Inter Milan and kill Yang Huan's bastard!
"Okay, you can make up your mind about this matter!"
Granovskia also knew it.
The remaining players to be cleaned up are basically the same.
For example, Cech, Chelsea have basically secured Stoke City's Begovic, so it is only natural to sell Cech.
However, the trick is that Cech's transfer fee is 10 million pounds, and Begovic originally expected that he would be able to get it at most 10 million pounds, but he didn't expect that Daniel Levy's bastard stepped in and raised the price to 15 million pounds, and he had to give cash, which is really a day!
Ranocchia and Mauro Icardi are also in the cracks but no team is interested in the two players at the moment, with Granovschia meaning to recommend the Italian side, but Chelsea will certainly have to compromise on the transfer fee.
"What about reinforcements?" Abramovich asked depressedly.
When I first bought it, they were worth a hundred times, but now they want to sell it, but they all depreciate, which is really special.
'I've been in contact with Lyon and Aulas has offered Lacazette Β£30 million, which has exceeded our expectations.
"Thirty million pounds?" Abramovich was somewhat taken aback.
If he remembers correctly, half a year ago, Aulas said it himself, whoever gave 20 million euros would take Lacazette away.
Nimei, why has it risen to 30 million now? Also the pound?
Why don't you rob a bank?
"It is said that Manchester United have also made an offer, you know, Aolas is a ......"
Granovskia didn't say anything, but everyone knows that Olas is a well-known vampire in European football.
In recent years, with the rise of Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco, Lyon is not having a good time, and Aulas is also short of money, so the transfer door has been lowered, and if it is put in the past, it is estimated that 30 million pounds can only buy Lacazette one leg.
Who made the family a Ligue 1 striker?
In today's Ligue 1, the most popular striker killer, of course, is Paris Saint-Germain's Ibrahimovic.
In second place is Monaco's Mitrovic, but Monaco is not short of money now, so there is no incentive to let go of this Warcraft II, which is said to have been taught by Drogba himself.
Further down is Lacazette.
"In addition, we contacted Augsburg in the Bundesliga and they also made an offer of 25 million euros for Baba Rahmann, but I personally think that the price is too high because they only paid 2.5 million euros when they brought in Baba Rahman from FΓΌrth a year ago."
Within a year, it has risen tenfold, what a bank robbery!
Roman Abramovich grimaced that he had finally figured out that his previous plan to restructure the team's budget was not enough, and what was even more disappointing was that Chelsea were not as attractive as they were two years ago.
Who has put the Blues in the middle of the league table for the past two seasons, and even 14th this past season.
This is simply the ranking of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League!
"Roman." Granovskia thought about it and mustered up courage.
"The Glazer family has already released cruel words, in the transfer market this summer, Manchester United will invest at least 200 million pounds to restructure the team, local tycoons like Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, and they don't even have a transfer budget, so ......"
Abramovich sighed deeply.
In the final analysis, it was Yang Huan who caused the trouble!
Nime, the Saints are doing so well, and several other teams in the Premier League are also affected, especially Manchester City and Manchester United.
You know, Manchester City has now been completely suppressed by Southampton, and Manchester United used to be the banner of the Premier League, but now it is clearly behind Southampton.
If it's short-term, it doesn't matter, but what if it's long-term?
When the time comes, those big-name sponsors are still willing to pay such a high sponsorship fee for Manchester United?
No kidding, it's all over to Southampton!
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Manchester duo have started the cash-burning mode again.
As for Tottenham Hotspur, this is originally a local tyrant, okay?
If they don't burn money, that's weird!
But now the question is, will Chelsea burn or not?
burn, Abramovich will definitely have to bleed again, otherwise he will not be able to support such a burn.
And, even if it is burned, Chelsea may not be able to burn a top-four finish.
Because the competition for the top four in the Premier League is too fierce right now.
But if it doesn't burn, then Chelsea is likely to sink directly into the middle of the Premier League, and there is no hope of a top-four finish in the league.
Regret, what a regret!
Abramovich is now repentant.
Chelsea now need to bring in strong reinforcements on every line, but in the past few years, they have released excellent stars every year.
Nemanja Matic, De Bruyne, Sturridge, Oscar and others don't need to be said, let's talk about Lukaku.
Mourinho didn't like Lukaku at the beginning, so he sold him to Everton for 28 million, but then brought in Falcao and Icardi.
But the result?
Falcao and Icardi became parallel goods, but Romelu Lukaku shone at Everton.
It was previously rumored that Manchester United wanted to poach Lukaku, and Everton directly offered a high price of 45 million pounds.
If Lukaku hadn't given Everton in the first place, why would Chelsea bother with the forward line now?
Thinking of this, Abramovich suddenly felt a burst of excitement.
Shaking his head, he let out a long sigh.
"Let me think about the transfer operation again."
