Chapter 939 Why Don't You Rob the Bank?
"cry?"

At Stamford Bridge in London's West End, Abramovich sneered as he waved a copy of The Times.

"Do you think I'm going to cry?"

Before anyone else in the conference room could answer, the Russian smiled and shook his head.

"No, no, no, I don't cry, instead, I laugh, do you know why?"

At this point, Abramovich stood up laughing, "I'm so funny. Southampton's management is a bunch of idiots. They even let a champion coach like Bielsa not use them, but choose a coach who has been abandoned by us. What do you think is not an idiot?"

Ancelotti had coached Chelsea a few years ago, and his results in the first season were quite good, leading Chelsea to the Premier League championship, but he only managed half of the coaching in the second season, and he was dismissed in disgrace.

Abramovich's current logic is that a guy who can't get along at our Stamford Bridge is invited by Southampton to coach. This doesn't mean that Chelsea is stepping on Southampton's head.

At first glance, this logic seems to be the same thing, but why does it always make people feel a little weird?

How can this be calculated?
"I seem to have seen the day of Southampton's decline, because I said earlier that Yang Huan, that bastard, doesn't understand football at all. Once Bielsa falls, he will be finished with him. Now it's just the beginning!"

The Russian shouted loudly.

His tone, his expression, seemed to be telling everyone that once the saints fell, Chelsea would have a chance.

But anyone with a little bit of reason should be very clear that this is completely different, isn't it?

The Russians obviously also noticed that the group of club executives present were not so easy to fool, so they quickly changed the topic and fell on Chelsea themselves.

"Tell me about the current situation in the transfer market!" Abramovich sat down again.

Granovskia stood up immediately, "Roman, we have followed your previous instructions to sell a group of players that the team does not want before introducing players, and start looking for buyers in the transfer market, and we have made some progress."

Abramovich nodded, hummed, and felt that his assistant's work efficiency had improved a lot.

"Bayern Munich, Roma and Juventus are all very interested in Benatia. Among them, we contacted Bayern Munich and they offered the highest price."

"How many can there be?"

"Five million euros!"

Abramovich's eyelids twitched, Nimei, it's only 500 million euros?

At the beginning, I spent 3000 million pounds, converted to 600 million euros, to buy Benatia.

Doesn't that mean that I lost a full 2000 million euros in two years?
I'm so old!

But Abramovich also knows in his heart now that he can't sell it.

Because even if all these players were sold, the funds obtained by cashing out would not be enough for him to reorganize the team.

If it is not sold, unless he is willing to pay the money himself, otherwise, where does Chelsea's reconstruction start?

"Sell!" Abramovich gritted his teeth, thinking of another divorce!
"In the list that Mourinho gave us, Cuadrado is not in his plan, and we have contacted Barcelona before, but they are no longer interested in Cuadrado."

Abramovich sneered when he heard this, "What the hell, you're still pretending to be innocent!"

"Currently interested in Cuadrado are all Serie A teams, Juventus, Roma, Inter Milan and AC Milan. Among them, AC Milan means to rent for a season first, with a buyout clause. However, they are only willing to give a loan fee of 100 million and a buyout fee of 500 million euros at most."

"500 million euros?" Abramovich sneered directly, "Ask Galliani, is he stupid?"

It cost more than 300 million euros to introduce Cuadrado at the beginning, but now it only costs 500 million euros?

"Juventus also leased first and then bought out. They offered a loan fee of 150 million and a buyout fee of 2000 million euros. However, the 2000 million euros are paid in installments for three years!"

"Damn it, what the hell, Italy is a bunch of poor people!" Abramovich cursed angrily.

"Roma also has no money, so they can only give a transfer fee of 500 million euros at most, pay 1000 million first, and pay the remaining 500 million within two years."

When Abramovich heard this, he almost had the urge to cry.

Big brother, it's only 500 million, can you be quicker?

"Marina, are the Italian teams really so poor?" Abramovich asked depressedly.

Granovskia was a little amused, nodded and said: "The purchasing power of Serie A has been really weak in recent years. Generally speaking, transfers worth around 2000 million euros are even expected to win the bid in Italy."

Abramovich really has the urge to scold his mother, about 2000 million euros, can he become the bid king?
In the Premier League, the signings of relegation teams are more than this number!

"Boss, actually, the offer given by Inter Milan is the most suitable."

"Inter Milan?" Abramovich frowned, isn't it Yang Huan's team?
Granovskia nodded, "Yes, when we introduced Icardi and Ranocchia, didn't we owe them money?"

"Is there such a thing?" Abramovich really forgot about it.

Granovskia smiled wryly, boss, you have been using me for a year, you have to admit it.

"Then what do they mean?"

"Inter Milan's Fassone called me. They meant to use the 2000 million euros we owed to introduce Cuadrado, and we should have paid this amount in the next year."

As soon as Abramovich heard it, he immediately began to think about it.

This proposal from Inter Milan is actually quite good, but that bastard Yang Huan looks annoying.

No matter, let's sell the players first.

Nimi, the Italian teams are getting poorer than the other, so it's better to throw it to Inter Milan and kill that bastard Yang Huan!

"Okay, make up your mind about this matter!"

Granovskia knew it too.

The rest of the players who need to be cleaned up are basically all talked about.

For example, Cech, Chelsea have basically dealt with Stoke City's Begovic, so it is only natural to sell Cech.

But the trick is that Cech's transfer fee is 1000 million pounds. Originally, Begovic expected it to be 1000 million pounds at most, but unexpectedly, that bastard Daniel Levi stepped in and abruptly raised the price to 500 million pounds, and he had to give cash. What a day!

Ranocchia and Icardi are also in the team's plan to sell, but no team is currently interested in these two players. Granovskia means to recommend to Italian teams, but Chelsea will definitely make concessions on the transfer fee.

"What about signings?" Abramovich asked very depressed.

When I bought them, each of them was worth a hundred times, but now I want to sell them, but all of them have depreciated in value, what a day.

"I contacted Lyon before. Aulas offered Lacazette a high price of 3000 million pounds, which has greatly exceeded our expectations."

"3000 million pounds?" Abramovich was a little surprised.

If he remembers correctly, Aulas said it himself half a year ago, whoever gave 2000 million euros would take away Lacazette.

Nimi, why has it risen to 3000 million now?Pay back the pound?

Why not rob the bank?

"It is said that Manchester United has also made an offer. You know, Aulas..."

Granovskia didn't tell the truth, but everyone knows that Aulas is a well-known vampire in European football.

In recent years, with the rise of Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco, Lyon's life has been difficult, and Aulas is also short of money, so the tone of the transfer has been lowered. If it were put in the past, it is estimated that 3000 million pounds can only buy Lacazette.

Who made him a French striker?

In today's Ligue [-], the most popular striker is of course Paris Saint-Germain's Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The second place is Monaco's Mitrovic, but Monaco is not short of money now, so there is no motivation to let go of this World of Warcraft II, which is said to be taught by Drogba himself.

Further down, that is Lacazette.

"In addition, we contacted Augsburg in the Bundesliga, and they also offered Baba Rahman an offer of 500 million euros. However, I personally think that this price is too high, because they only spent 250 million euros when they introduced Baba Rahman from Fürth a year ago."

Within a year, it has increased tenfold. It is really a bank robbery!
Abramovich had a gloomy face. He finally figured it out. The budget he had planned to restructure the team was not enough. What was even more disappointing was that Chelsea was not as attractive as it was two years ago.

Who made the Blues rank in the middle of the league in the past two seasons, and even ranked No.14 in the past season.

This is simply the ranking of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League!

"Roman." Granovskia thought for a while and summoned up his courage.

"The Glazer family has already uttered harsh words. In the transfer market this summer, Manchester United will invest at least [-] million pounds to restructure the team. Local tycoons like Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City don't even have a transfer budget at all, so..."

Abramovich sighed deeply.

After all, it was Yang Huan who caused the trouble!

Nimi, the Saints' results are so good, several other teams in the Premier League have also been greatly affected, especially Manchester City and Manchester United.

You know, Manchester City has been completely suppressed by Southampton now, and Manchester United used to be the banner of the Premier League, but now it is obviously behind Southampton.

If it's short-term, it doesn't matter, but if it's long-term?

At that time, those big-name sponsors are still willing to pay such a high sponsorship fee for Manchester United?

Don't be kidding, it's time to go to Southampton!
Therefore, it is not worth making a fuss that the Manchester duo started the money-burning mode again.

As for Tottenham Hotspur, this is a local tyrant, okay?
It would be weird if they didn't burn money!
But the question now is, will Chelsea burn?

Burning, Abramovich will definitely bleed again, otherwise he can't support such a burning method.

Moreover, even if it is burned, Chelsea may not be able to burn a top four in the league.

Because the competition for the top four in the Premier League is too fierce.

But if it doesn't burn, then Chelsea is very likely to sink directly to the middle of the Premier League, and there is no hope for the top four in the league.

I regret it, I really regret it!

Abramovich is now regretful.

Chelsea now needs to introduce strong players on every line, but in the past few years, they have released excellent stars every year.

Needless to say Matic, De Bruyne, Sturridge, Oscar and others, just talk about Lukaku.

At the beginning, Mourinho didn't like Lukaku and sold him to Everton for 800 million, but turned around and introduced Falcao and Icardi.

But the result?

Falcao and Icardi became parallel imports, but Lukaku shined in Everton.

There were rumors before that Manchester United wanted to poach Lukaku, and Everton directly offered a high price of 500 million pounds.

If Lukaku didn't give it to Everton, why would Chelsea worry about the striker now?

Thinking of this, Abramovich suddenly became depressed.

Shaking his head, he let out a long sigh.

"The transfer operation, let me think about it again."
