Chapter 789 Too cheap, isn't it?
"We at Southampton will never live on the laurels of the past..."

When Yang Huan's eloquent promise appeared on the TV in the high-level meeting room at Stamford Bridge through the live broadcast of BBC TV, Abramovich was so angry that he grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV directly.

If it wasn't for the fact that there were still guests at the scene, he might have wanted to smash the TV!

Isn't Yayagope's goal to win a Champions League?

As for Desecheng like this?

Live on the laurels of the past?

What do you mean?
Are you satirizing and mocking us Chelsea?
Everyone in the conference room was taken aback by Abramovich's actions, and some people even wondered why the Russian crocodile was so restless when he met Southampton and Yang Huan?
Feeling the awkward atmosphere in the conference room, Granovskia immediately laughed, "Yang Huan is also quite loud. What else does Southampton have to keep for them? Right? Hehe..."

But actually?
This bad joke isn't funny at all, is it?

At least, the others in the conference room didn't laugh much, and even if some did, it was very reluctantly.

In terms of achievements, Southampton may not have a glorious history, but in the past few years, Chelsea have been blown away!

"Southampton's management and decision-makers are shrewd, pragmatic and courageous. At this time, it is not easy to make such a decision!"

The speaker was Portuguese super agent, Jorge Mendes.

At this time, only he has the courage to continue to say such things in front of Abramovich.

If it was Granovskia, I am afraid that the Russian predators would not think too much, and just slapped him.

But those present were all football people, and they all understood what Mendes meant.

Based on the current situation in Southampton, retaining the existing players and maintaining the current mature framework of the team that has been in operation for four years, it will be easy to continue to produce results in the next season.

Of course, it is simply impossible to make a breakthrough!

It can be said that this year is the pinnacle of Southampton!
At least, it is the pinnacle of this lineup!

But if it is to exchange blood, then the accompanying risks are very problematic.

Especially considering that the Saints won the Champions League by relying on Ibrahimovic's key lore.

He just won a Champions League for you, but in a blink of an eye, you sold him. What do you think the fans will think?
If the team performs well in the new season and goes smoothly, then everything is easy to talk about, but if the team performs poorly, the fans' saliva can directly spray you to death!
"I have received news that Southampton has negotiated with Paris Saint-Germain. Zlatan Ibrahimovic will transfer to Ligue [-] at a friendly price and join Paris Saint-Germain. The local tycoon in Qatar promises to continue to maintain his current annual salary."

Now Ibrahimovic's annual salary is the third in the world, second only to Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

To be honest, Paris Saint-Germain is probably the only one who can maintain Ibrahimovic's annual salary.

Southampton is also possible, but let me ask, one Ibrahimovic can support two Suarez, how will the Saints choose?
Jorge Mendes saw that everyone noticed him, and smiled slightly, "After Zlatan Ibrahimovic's transfer, they agreed to let Falcao leave the team!"

Hearing what the Portuguese agent said, Granovskia immediately glanced at Abramovich and then at Bruce Barker.

"Jorge, it is true that we need to further strengthen the signings in the frontcourt, because we only have one Mandzukic is not enough, but we are a little worried about Falcao's situation, after all, he has not played since a serious injury in January!"

After hearing this, Mendes laughed, "Of course, this is indeed a problem!"

After a pause, he added, "Roman trusts me and is willing to listen to my opinions, so I will recommend 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 Big Three of Chelsea looked at each other, and they all noticed the strangeness in each other's eyes.

If you want to say that in the past season, the most famous rotten brothers in the Premier League must be the Red Devils Manchester United and the Blues Chelsea.

No one expected that the two great powers of the Premier League would end up empty-handed in the past season.

Moyes took over Ferguson's championship team, but the results of the new season plummeted, ranking eighth in the league after the season.

And what about Chelsea?
It's just as bad. After the season, the Premier League ranked seventh, just a little bit higher than Moyes' team.

Both teams have completely missed European competitions, so there are serious problems now.

"Manchester United are also interested in Falcao?" asked Abramovich.

"That's right!" Mendes nodded. "The poor performance of the past season has put Manchester United under pressure, especially the poor performance of the team. The income has also dropped sharply, the finances are facing big problems, and the stock price has also fallen sharply. Therefore, it is time for the Glazer family to invest heavily."

"Therefore, almost the entire European football world knows that Manchester United will make a retaliatory signing, and the value of all the players they are eyeing will skyrocket!"

The so-called retaliatory signings are like Manchester United. There have been no real high-level signings in the past few seasons.

The current Manchester United lineup can be said to be almost riddled with holes, right back, center back, left back, midfielder, winger and striker. Except for the goalkeeper, there is almost no position that does not need to be strengthened.

And now, Moyes' dismissal is a foregone conclusion. There are four candidates who trust the coach. One is Simeone of Atletico Madrid, but he has just renewed his contract with Atletico Madrid;

The other is Van Gaal, the current head coach of the Dutch national team, but it is reported that Van Gaal signed with Tottenham Hotspur as early as a few months ago.

Therefore, Manchester United is currently negotiating urgently, and the final result is likely to be that the acting head coach Giggs officially becomes a regular.

At present, Manchester United has obtained a transfer budget of [-] million pounds, which will cause a bloody storm in the transfer market this summer.

Abramovich thought for a while, turned his head sideways, and looked at Mourinho who had been sitting upright, silent.

The face of the Portuguese madman is not good, because the team's performance in the past season has been frustrating.

He has even said harsh words, if he does not strengthen his signings this summer, he will consider resigning!

"What do you think, Jose?" 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 capable center forward."

"Not just a centre-forward, but a winger, a playmaker, a midfielder, a left-back, a central defender, and even a goalkeeper are all we are in urgent need of right now."

After hearing Mourinho's words, Abramovich frowned.

Because he found out that Manchester United wanted retaliatory signings, wouldn't Chelsea not use it?
The striker is only Mandzukic. The problem is that after he joined Chelsea, he suffered a lot of injuries and could not guarantee Chelsea's offense at all.

Therefore, it is necessary to introduce another high-level striker.

No one in the midfield, especially the midfielder, has become a cancer for Chelsea!
The left-back Ashley Cole is 33 years old and can't play the main role at all. As for the central defender, Terry is very old.

But the Portuguese is not stable, it is difficult to be reassuring.

Therefore, in many games, Mourinho even promoted the Czech teenager Karas to the top position, and his performance was not bad.

However, what is quite depressing is that there is no one on the front line, but Mourinho doesn't like to be out on loan. Lukaku, who performed well, is really helpless.

Abramovich looked at Granovskia, "What are your plans?"

He still decided to listen to the plan first, after all, he had to weigh whether his wallet was big enough.

Granovskia hummed, "As for the center forward, besides Falcao, we also consider Queen's Park Rangers' Remy, whose worth should be around 300 million pounds."

"In terms of midfield, we first consider Inter Milan's Khedira as a defensive midfielder. He played under Jose when he was in Real Madrid before. He is familiar with each other and understands each other very well. But now that Klopp is in charge of Inter Milan, it is said that he is very important to him. It is not easy to introduce him."

Abramovich frowned upon hearing this.

Inter Milan?

Isn't that Yang Huan?
Poaching people from Yang Huan, mother Xipi, do you really think I have a lot of money?

"Is there no other choice?"

Abramovich has a little Yang Huan phobia!
If you can't get involved with this guy, it's best not to get involved.

"Oh yes, Atlético Illarramendi, but it's almost impossible for the Sheets to sell him unless..."

Before Granovskia finished speaking, Abramovich shook his head, "Why are they all Yang Huan's players? Could it be that Europe is so big that there are no other outstanding midfielders?"

Granovskia only remembered now, didn't he?
My boss is seriously at odds with Yang Huan, and I always recommend Yang Huan's players, so how can the boss be happy?

And at this time, Jorge Mendes spoke.

"If you want to talk about the midfielder, I have a few candidates here. William Carvalho from Sporting Lisbon. I have recommended it several times before. He was the best midfielder in the Portuguese Super League last season, including Manchester United and Real Madrid. Interested in him, there is no doubt about his strength, but his worth is not cheap at all."

"If William Carvalho prefers a defensive and organizational midfielder, Zenit's Witsel is worth considering!"

But soon, Mendes smiled slightly, "I heard that Barcelona will raise funds this summer and operate team transfers. Many players, including Cesc Fabregas, have been included in the list of players that can be sold, so..."

"Cesc 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 if Barcelona considers selling him for cash, the transfer fee will not be too high."

"How much?" Abramovich immediately became interested.

That is a world-class midfielder. The introduction of such a player will not only improve Chelsea's midfield strength, but also please the fans and increase the attention of sponsors.

This kind of transfer doesn't work, what's the deal?
"Around 3000 million euros!" Mendes said after thinking about it.

"3000 million euros?" Abramovich laughed directly, "Haha, isn't it too cheap?"

is not that right?

Let's not say that Bregas is in his prime, let's talk about his strength and his performance in the Premier League, 3000 million euros, worth it!
"Marina, call Barcelona immediately, 3000 million euros, we bought it!"

Abramovich is also rare bold.

The point is, such a transfer is a bargain, isn't it?

He was even thinking, as long as Barcelona nods, Chelsea will fly over tomorrow, oh no, in the afternoon, and negotiate the transfer!
Hey, if there are a few more transfers like Cesc Fabregas, we can also assemble a lineup of world-class star players.

By that time, what Southampton, what Manchester City, all are not enough to see, seconds!

Thinking of this, the Russians couldn't help laughing.
