"Southampton, why is it Southampton again?"

In a mansion in London's West End, Abramovich slammed a newspaper in his hand on the table.

Originally, after getting up early in the morning, he was in a good mood, but it was completely sunny and cloudy, and there was even a kind of rush for a rainstorm.

"Why is this group of reporters staring at Southampton so hard? What benefits did the saints give them? ”

Abramovich has always been puzzled by this.

It stands to reason that the transfer market is so lively, but there is too much material to report, why do you report on Southampton all the time?

I don't know anything else, but at least in the past few years, Southampton has dominated the front pages of almost all major newspapers in the United Kingdom, and even in Europe.

Granovsky sat tremblingly and did not dare to say anything.

Actually, she is clear about this problem.

At the end of the day, Southampton is all about hype.

Even, the saints are not afraid to tell reporters at all, they just want to hype.

And what about journalists?

For the sake of sales, in order to stimulate fans, they are also happy to see, and even take the initiative to cooperate with the Southampton hype.

Cesar Azpilicueta moves to Tottenham Hotspur!

The Saints sign Tottenham Hotspur youth centre-forward Harry Kane!

Ibrahimovic airborne Paris Saint-Germain!

Cesc Fabregas returns to the Premier League and joins the Saints!

Xavi Martinez set a record for Bayern Munich's transfer fee and landed in the Bundesliga!

Southampton strikes again, and Monaco's talented striker Anthony Martial joins the Saints!

James Rodriguez joins Real Madrid at a sky-high price!

This pile, one transfer after another, from releasing clues in advance, allowing reporters to get involved, in-depth excavation and investigation, to the club's official announcement, the truth is revealed, and the entire transfer process is in order.

To say that this is not deliberately arranged, who would believe it?

Do you really think that the elite in the Southampton Department of Information are vegetarians?

At least in terms of publicity, Chelsea are not much inferior to Southampton, and even in terms of connections and networks in the British media, Chelsea are far behind the Saints.

People are too professional in this area!

Therefore, the Saints have been able to dominate the important pages of the major British and even European media for a long time.

James Rodriguez joined Real Madrid for a sky-high price of 100 million pounds, completely detonating the entire European football scene.

Almost everyone couldn't believe it, they thought it was crazy, but it just happened.

And just when the whole world was shocked by this, the first team of the Saints quietly started and went to China for training.

Then some reporters began to notice that there was no Modric's name in this training list.

This means that the soap opera of the Croatian midfielder transfer is also coming to an end!

As a professional manager, Granovskia has not heard many people talk about saints.

Almost all people in the industry mention the Saints, whether friendly or hostile, and basically do not deny that the Saints are the most professional and efficient football club in European football, if not one of them.

As revealed by the Marca newspaper, Real Madrid decided to bring in James Rodriguez, from Florentino to Southampton to negotiate with Yang Huan, and finally the two sides signed the contract, it took less than 12 hours.

In the case of Chelsea, it would not have been possible.

So, for Southampton's treatment in the newspapers, Granovskia knows it well, and she really can't envy it!

Abramovich's personality is also a bit strange, and when he gets angry, no one pays attention to him, and he himself extinguishes the fire after a while.

"Marina, how is the introduction of Stones progressing?" The Russian asked.

This summer, Chelsea's recruitment in the transfer market has been a real hit at every turn, and it has been very unfavorable.

Of the several preferred targets that have been circled before, there is still hope for Stones.

The England youngster is just beginning to emerge as a rare technical centre-back with plenty of potential.

At present, Chelsea's central defenders are also pits, so it is imperative to bring in Stones.

One could even say at all costs!

'I've called Robert Elstone a couple of times but he hasn't given his head to Stones' transfer and as for the player, he's still changing agents and we can't get in touch with him directly at the moment.

Abramovich closed his eyes and exhaled heavily, "How much did we offer him?" ”

"Fifteen million pounds."

Fifteen million pounds?

For a 20-year-old centre-back who has only played in the Premier League for a season, that's a pretty good price.

You know, in January 2013, when Everton brought in Stones from Barnsley in the Championship, it only cost three million pounds, and in a year and a half, it has increased fivefold, isn't it enough?

"Originally, we were going to use Lukaku's transfer to talk to Everton, but there was an agreement between us and Everton, and Everton didn't want to entangle Lukaku with Stones, so we ......"

Abramovich didn't say anything, just let out another long breath.

"Forget it, if Everton still bites very tightly, you can add more, give me money to pry his mouth open, and take Stones no matter what!"

"Understood!"

"Also, how are the transfers from Italy and Hamburg going?" Abramovich asked with concern.

In the summer, Abramovich entrusted Marina's restructuring plan entirely to Granovskia and Mendes, each of whom was responsible for a part, Mendes in charge of the transfer in Italy and Calhanoglu in Hamburg.

"I don't know, I'll call back and ask Mendez!"

"Hmm!" Abramovich nodded, but quickly looked back at Granovskia.

"Marina, you call him now, I'll tell him!"

"Good!"

Granovskia quickly took out his mobile phone, found Mendes' phone number, and called directly.

After two beeps, the phone went through.

"Hey, Marina, is there anything wrong with me?" Mendez asked on the other end of the phone.

"The boss wants to tell you!"

After Granovskia finished speaking, he immediately put the phone in Abramovich's hands.

"Hey, Jorge, it's me!"

"Hello, Roman!"

"Now that the team has started training, I want to know, how is it going on your side?"

There was a bit of movement on the other side of the phone, and it was clear that Mendez was looking for a quieter place to talk.

"Roman, I've already contacted Fiorentina's Cuadrado, it's not a big problem, and Sevilla's Rakitic has basically taken care of it, but the situation between Inter Milan and Hamburg is a bit troublesome, and they won't let go."

Abramovich closed his eyes and showed an impatient expression, "Jorge, then you have to find a way to make them relax, we don't have much time now, Jose's side has been urging again, and the transfer must be completed as soon as possible." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Abramovich gritted his teeth, "In this way, you can appropriately increase the offer of several players, and the most important thing now is to bring in players, you know what I mean, right?" ”

"Understood!"

"I've heard that Arsenal and Manchester United are also interested in Ranocchia and Icardi now, so you have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a long time to get entangled with them!"

"Good!" Mendez nodded in agreement.

"Oh, by the way, Roman, I've been dealing with some things in Asia recently, the transfer of Cuadrado and Rakitic, you ask Marina to send someone to follow up, it's basically all negotiated, it's just some details, it's not a big problem."

"Okay, I'll talk about it when you go back to Europe!"

After saying that, Abramovich hung up.

With the introduction of the winger maniac of Serie A and the midfielder of La Liga, Chelsea's strength has been strengthened, and Abramovich's heart has relaxed a lot.

You won't be called useless anymore, right?

…………

…………

Jorge Mendes hung up Abramovich's phone and suddenly felt his head go big.

If the transfers of Cuadrado and Rakitic can still be handled freely, then Icardi, Ranocchia and Calhanoglu have made Mendes a little shrunk.

At the beginning, Yang Huan had just finished acquiring Atletico Madrid, and he immediately took thunderous measures against him and cut off his hand in Atletico Madrid, which left an extremely deep impression on him even now.

There is no doubt that Yang Huan is doing great things.

At least, in the past few years, he has been invincible in Europe and quickly built up his own football empire, and Mendes has to admire this ability.

is also a rich man and a boss, but Abramovich is worse than Yang Huan in this aspect.

Mendes had already suggested that Abramovic go this route, so many of Chelsea's players were sent to PSV Eindhoven to play in the Portuguese Premier League to gain experience.

But later, Abramovich chose to give up halfway.

But judging from the current situation, there is no doubt that Yang Huan's choice is more wise.

As a football agent, he knows very well that even if a character like Young Master Huan can't be befriended, he must not be offended.

This is also why he resolutely chose to quit Atletico Madrid to give Young Master Huan a face.

But now, do you really want to blame Young Master Huan for the sake of Chelsea?

If it had been a month ago, Mendes might have thought this way, but now, he doesn't!

Hanging up Abramovich's phone, the Portuguese agent took a heavy breath, squeezed out a smile, and walked back to the conference room he had just walked out of.

As he told Abramovich on the phone, he was in Asia.

And it's in China Longhai.

This is the meeting room of Southampton's China office.

The one sitting inside was Yang Huan.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Huan, there are too many trivial things, I'm really sorry!"

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway." ”

Mendes smiled apologetically and immediately asked his negotiators to continue negotiations on the details of the terms of the contract for the treatment of the players offered by Southampton.

After a few days of consideration, Di Maria decided to join Southampton after Bielsa personally called him!

And because Southampton's training camp was arranged in China, and the club's major players came to China, Mendes also had to make a special trip from Europe to Longhai to negotiate the personal treatment of the players.

It was also after arriving in Longhai that Mendes was surprised to hear that Southampton had signed three more sponsorship contracts.

After the team successfully defended the Premier League title and won the Champions League, the Saints have re-signed sky-high sponsorship contracts with major sponsors such as Nike and Qatar Airways, and the commercial value can be described as quite amazing.

But what surprised Mendes even more was that the Chinese market was too big, too amazing.

These three contracts alone can bring more than 10 million dollars in revenue to Southampton in one year.

Moreover, it is said that there are many big conglomerates rushing to cooperate with the saints, which is really shocking.

"Jorge!"

Yang Huan stood up suddenly.

"Huh? What does Young Master Huan command? Mendez quickly followed suit.

"Leave this kind of trivial matter to them to deal with, let's go out for a walk!"

Mendez looked at his assistant and seemed to think that there was no problem, so he nodded.

"Okay, Young Master Huan, please!"
