Football giants

Chapter 850

A few hours later, as night fell, Abramovich invited Everton general manager Robert Elstone to dinner at a five-star hotel in Liverpool.

Time is running out, and there are only about five hours left before the European summer transfer market closes.

If Everton can be dealt with now, Abramovich is very confident and can register in time.

But he still has to race against time to finalize this matter as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.

"Robert, I mentioned to you at the Premier League Chairman's Summit earlier that we are very interested in John Stones, and, throughout the summer, we have made four offers to you, but each time you..."

Speaking of which, Abramovich pursed his lips, looked at the leader of Toffee opposite, and his eyes seemed to say, old brother, you were able to evade others before, but this time, I will talk in person, so you have to give me face, right?

Robert Elstone shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Roman, I'm really sorry, I can only tell you about Stones, sorry, he is not for sale!"

Abramovich laughed, "Robert, if you tell others this, maybe they still believe it, but in my opinion, although you relied on the new Premier League broadcast contract last season to expand your profits to nearly 3000 million pounds and reduce your debts by half, you are still planning to build a new stadium."

"For a star of Stones' level, you should be very clear that you simply can't keep it!"

Elston was silent, as he recognized Abramovich's analysis.

"How about this, I'll just stop talking too much, what kind of price did Yang Huan offer you before?"

"Master Huan?" Elston was a little surprised.

This is so good, how did it get involved in Master Huan's head?Could it be that……

"Yes, didn't the newspapers say that before? Yang Huan met you because he wanted to bring in Stones, and then Prouse and Andres Pereira came to Everton on loan. Dare you say that the two of you have no secret agreement?"

"This..." Elston really looked bewildered and embarrassed.

It felt as if the secret in my heart had been exposed by someone.

The more Abramovich saw him like this, the more certain he became in his heart, he must have an agreement with Yang Huan.

At the very least, they must have a tacit understanding.

Moreover, seeing that Everton has not moved much this season, it is estimated that Stones will continue to play for Everton.

"In this way, I can guarantee that no matter what price Southampton offers, I will be higher than them. Is this okay?"

Abramovich prides himself on making bold commitments.

But Elstone had a bitter expression on his face, "Roman, you misunderstood, Stones, we really can't sell it!"

Abramovich's expression changed a little, and he was not very happy.

He felt that what Elston said was more like raising the price.

Damn Xipi, it's a good thing I had a good relationship with you before, but I didn't expect that when you fucking kill people, you are really not ordinary ruthless.

"£4000 million, Stones, I want it!"

Elston rolled his eyes, £4000 million?
It's a full £500 million higher than Granovskia's previous offer, but...

"Roman, I'm really sorry, I..."

Abramovich's face was ashen. He was very upset because of the internal strife between Granovskia and Mourinho. At this time, seeing Elston being so dishonest, he was even more unhappy.

"Forty-five million pounds!"

In the blink of an eye, another £500 million was raised.

Elston's heart suddenly thumped violently, he was very infected, and really wanted to agree.

"Roman, I really..."

Seeing Elston shaking his head, Abramovich felt a hatred in his heart.

Ke gritted his teeth, "5000 million pounds, can you sell it?"

It was obvious that he was really angry.

For Stones, he is also determined to win!

There was a struggle in Elston's heart, his face was full of entanglements, and finally he gritted his teeth.

"Roman, let me tell you the truth!"

Abramovich nodded lightly, as if to listen to what he had to say.

"Actually, Stones is not our player at all!"

"What?" Abramovich was shocked.

"You said, Stones is not your player?"

"Yes, he's not!" Elston nodded.

Abramovich immediately thought of Mendes, "Could it be that you also introduced a third-party ownership organization?"

But soon, the Russian frowned, "But it's not right, the Premier League does not allow third-party organizations to hold players. If Stones is not your player, he can't register at all."

"He is not owned by a third-party organization, but we rented it from another team, but the other party asked us to keep it secret and handle it in a low-key manner."

"Who?" Abramovich's face changed, and he had an ominous premonition.

Stones is so talented, at a young age, he performed so well as soon as he debuted, it is easy for people to associate with the team with the best youth training in the Premier League and the most complete scouting network.

"Southampton!" said Elstone, with a sigh.

"Southampton? How is this possible?" Abramovich cried out inwardly, sure enough.

But he was still full of doubts, why did all the best young players in England go to the Saints?
Patrick Roberts, Prowse, Luke Shaw, Chambers, and now Stones.

Damn Xipi, are you still calling people alive?

"Actually, as early as when Stones was still playing for Barnsley, when he had just made his mark in the English Championship and entered the national youth team, Southampton had already bought this player for about £200 million, and then continued to play for Barnsley on loan."

"In the summer of [-], we wanted to introduce a central defender. The scouts introduced Stones, so they contacted Barnsley. After Southampton heard about this, they contacted us actively, willing to loan Stones to Everton without us paying the loan fee, and also gave us some subsidy clauses."

"The next thing, you have also seen. Last season, Stones played in the first team, and even played in the main team. After he became famous, invitations to buy came like snowflakes. We are also suffering!"

Abramovich was completely dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that he worked hard and spent a summer's energy, and the central defender he wanted to introduce belonged to Southampton. Isn't this a waste of time?

With Yang Huan's personality and Stones' performance, how could the saints let him go?

and many more!

Abramovich thought of something even more terrifying.

That is, it is completely too late for Chelsea to introduce other players.

Because the transfer window closes tonight!

Damn Xipi, I was played by Yang Huan!

"Master Huan came to find me before, mainly to talk about the cooperation between the two parties, and also affirmed our cultivation of Stones. Therefore, Southampton agreed to continue to loan Prouse and Andres Pereira to Everton."

Starting from Stones’ loan contract, Everton’s cost is not high, but it must ensure players’ exercise opportunities, and at the same time give players enough counseling and help. Southampton’s staff will also maintain communication with Everton’s coaching staff and Stones himself at any time.

In terms of training players, Everton asked himself, it is really far behind Southampton.

But now that Stones has been trained, Everton is starting to lack people again, so they want to continue to loan Southampton's young players.

Yang Huan was also happy to have a team to help him develop players, so he agreed to loan the players to Everton.

He wants to emulate the way the likes of Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Bayern Munich develop players in La Liga and the Bundesliga.

This approach can not only improve the success rate of players and opportunities for game training, but more importantly, it can greatly improve the influence of Southampton's youth training camp and lay the foundation for Southampton's top Premier League giants.

Abramovich did not expect that things would have such a turning point.

It's unbelievable to think about it. Southampton's youth training camp is already full of talents, but they are still looking for youth training talents outside. Especially after the FA's ban on youth training is lifted, I am afraid that they will be the biggest beneficiaries.

Because the whole world knows how strong the Saints scouting network is.

Abramovich is even thinking, I am afraid it is not just a Stones, right?
That bastard Yang Huan actually made a lot of money in a muffled voice, he really missed it!
"Roman, if you are really interested in Stones, maybe you can talk to Master Huan, I believe..."

Abramovich waved his hand, shook his head and said, "No need!"

It was very bitter to say this.

Abramovich knew very well that if he went to talk to Yang Huan at this time, he would definitely be slaughtered, and he might even be angry.

Besides, with his personality, how could he please Yang Huan?
Hmph, Yang Huan, oh Yang Huan, why do you get ahead every time?
Sooner or later, I will make you look good!

I swear!
…………

…………

"I rub it, my nose is sore and my ears are itchy, someone must be scolding me now!"

In the Grimaldi Convention and Exhibition Center in Monaco, Yang Huan scratched his ears very sensitively and looked around.

The convention and exhibition center was crowded with people, God knows who is scolding?
"Okay, mother Xipi, it's best not to let me know, or I will make you look good!"

Young Master Huan sat up straight again, looking at the stage in a leisurely manner.

Just now, UEFA President Michel Platini officially announced that the venue for the [-] UEFA Champions League final will be held at the Glory Stadium in Southampton, England.

A display video of the Glory Stadium was also played on the spot. This is also one of the materials that the Glory Stadium has just applied for a five-star stadium. Now it is just used to show the Glory Stadium and the Glory Plaza.

Everyone at the scene was shocked.

Many people who had never been to the scene were amazed at the architectural design and prosperity of the Glory Stadium and Glory Square.

But there are also many people who know that UEFA's choice of Southampton must have other factors to consider.

This is not surprising, because hosting a Champions League final can greatly boost the economy and influence of the host city, and almost all cities with five-star stadiums have taken the lead.

Like Southampton, there are not many that can host the Champions League final just after the construction is completed.

Oh, yes, there was Wembley Stadium and the Allianz Stadium before that.

After announcing the venue for the Champions League final, it immediately entered the next link, which was the draw and awards.

It was the first time for Yang Huan to participate in UEFA's UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony, but he didn't care too much about the result of the draw, because no matter who meets Southampton, the unlucky opponent must be the opponent, not the Saints.

What Yang Huan really cares about is the result of the awards.

Before, the three candidates given by UEFA were Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid, Neuer of Southampton, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic who played for Southampton last season but switched to Paris Saint-Germain this season.

Among them, Ibrahimovic's voice is very high, because he won the Champions League top scorer, broke the Champions League single-season scoring record, and also helped the Saints win the Champions League and the Premier League.

Therefore, in the first round of votes, Ibrahimovic ranked first, Neuer ranked second, and Cristiano Ronaldo ranked third.

But the second round of voting is live voting, which is a bit suspenseful.

Everyone knows that those who vote now are basically dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

Therefore, this became Yang Huan's most concerned suspense.
