Chapter 300 Ask him to make an offer directly!

Eaton Square, London.

Abramovich is sitting in the living room at home, with a stack of freshly baked newspapers on the coffee table in front of him.

Without exception, the front page or important pages are all news reports about Valencia winning the Champions League.

Su Dong's name appeared in the newspaper again and again, which attracted Abramovich's attention.

Sitting in front of him is the top figure of Chelsea. Chairman Bruce Barker is Abramovich's old team when he bought Chelsea. Peter Kenyon is a capable man dug from Manchester United with a high salary. Female assistant Marina Granovskia is Abramovich's confidant for many years.

Anyone can see that the gathering of these three characters must mean that something big is about to happen.

"AC Milan once again rejected our offer!" Peter Kenyon reported helplessly.

This is obviously not good news.

Abramovich was expressionless, and nodded lightly, indicating that he had heard it.

"This is our second offer," Peter Kenyon reminded.

Chelsea started to make an offer to AC Milan for the first time in March, seeking to buy the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko. At that time, the first offer was 500 million euros plus Crespo, which was already quite a substantial price.

But AC Milan refused!
AC Milan's sports director Braida even publicly responded to Chelsea in the media: "Please forget Shevchenko! Stop thinking about him, we will not sell any top stars, including Shevchenko."

This is a very clear signal.

But Abramovich was eager for talent, and after re-preparing, he made another offer not long ago.

This time, he directly took out 500 million euros of private money from his own pocket and added it to Chelsea's transfer budget. The total price was 5000 million euros, plus Crespo, Hasselbaink and Mutu.

Unexpectedly, AC Milan refused again!
"What did Damiani say?" Abramovich asked with concern.

Shevchenko is a Ukrainian and has a close personal relationship with Abramovich. His agent is naturally familiar with Abramovich. Even in private, they have communicated countless times about Shevchenko's transfer to Chelsea.

"Damiani said that AC Milan is preparing a brand new contract to increase Shevchenko's annual salary to 520 million euros, which is already a very high price, because now Serie A players are generally cutting their salaries. It is difficult for Shevchenko to refuse such a contract extension."

After a pause, Peter Kenyon continued: "He also said that if AC Milan does not change his mind, Shevchenko will continue to choose to play for the Rossoneri, and he does not rule out refusing our invitation in front of the media."

After hearing this, Abramovich's face was a little ugly.

He understands that this means that the possibility of Shevchenko's transfer to Chelsea is getting smaller and smaller, and even gradually becoming impossible.

After the Russian rich man landed in the UK, waving the banknotes in his hands was almost invincible, but it happened that his most valued "compatriot" Shevchenko hit the rocks one after another, which made him feel bad.

Turning his head to look at the newspaper in front of him, Abramovich changed the subject, "Tell me about Su Dong!"

Everyone also understood Abramovich's mood at this moment, and immediately shifted the topic to Su Dong.

"Mourinho called me. He clearly asked us to speed up the introduction of Sudong. He believed that Sudong would be the perfect center forward on his tactical map. He hoped that when he came to Stamford Bridge, he could see Sudong's name in the list of players." Peter Kenyon said.

Abramovich frowned, "We gave him the right to suggest transfers, but it seems like we didn't give him the right to order us to do things?"

When you are in a bad mood, no one will be happy to hear such words.

"He's in a hurry!" explained Peter Kenyon.

"What did Valencia say?" Abramovich didn't delve into it.

"So far no statement has been made, but almost everyone knows that Su Dong will definitely transfer, the only difference is which team he goes to."

"How much is Valencia going to sell? 5000 million euros?"

Peter Kenyon and Bruce Buck looked at each other, and they both saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

"What's the matter?" Abramovich was a little surprised.

Peter Kenyon looked at the chairman, met Abramovich's gaze, and replied: "Now this price is definitely not available. According to outside speculation, Su Dong's current worth is definitely not cheap. It is even possible to break through the sky-high price set by Zidane back then and become the player with the highest transfer fee in history."

Abramovich was puzzled, but quickly shook his head with a sneer, "Is Valencia crazy about money?"

"If I remember correctly, Su Dong is only 19 years old, right? A 19-year-old kid wants to break Zidane's transfer fee record. Is this an offer for our Chelsea, or an offer for all teams?"

It's no wonder that Abramovich is wary, because the current European football generally has a thought about Chelsea's offer, that is: Knowing that you have a lot of money, I will set a higher price, whether you like it or not!
"This is an offer for all teams," Peter Kenyon said.

"It's impossible, no one is willing to pay such an outrageous price for a 19-year-old player!" Abramovich angrily said, he was dissatisfied with such an outrageous price.

Peter Kenyon also knew that such a transfer fee was indeed outrageous.

They already thought that Abramovich's offer to Shevchenko was very high before, but looking at it now, Su Dong's transfer fee may be even higher, which is definitely unacceptable.

Of course, from the perspective of performance, Su Dong is indeed the most powerful and potential player among the younger generation of football players in the world today.

"Perhaps, Valencia just wants to take advantage of Sudong's current popularity and make a huge sum of money. If no one buys it, the price will probably be reduced next summer." Bruce Buck said lightly.

In a market economy, this is usually the case.

"What if someone buys it?" Peter Kenyon reminded.

Bruce Buck was speechless for a moment.

What sets professional football apart from other industries is that professional players can be regarded as a unique asset.

When this player is bought by others, it is difficult for other teams to find a replacement.

Therefore, the transfer of players is full of risks, and the transfer operation of clubs is also risky.

Especially the transfer of such a superstar.

It’s not new that you can’t sell at a high price this year, and you can’t sell it at a broken bone next year. It’s also not uncommon for people to feel that the other party’s asking price is too high, miscalculate the situation, and end up being caught first, and regret it.

In a word, if you turn around by yourself, you have to finish the talk with tears in your eyes!
If Chelsea thinks that Valencia's price for Sudong is too high, then they don't have to buy it, but one thing to consider is whether Real Madrid and Barcelona will be willing to pay the money?
Once Su Dong transfers to Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Chelsea wants to buy again, it is basically impossible.

In this kind of thing, both Peter Kenyon and Bruce Barker had a hard time making a choice, and they could only look at Abramovich.

Rich Russians are also hesitant, after all, this is a huge sum of money.

At this moment, the female assistant Marina Granovskia, who sat like a specimen from the beginning to the end, said suddenly, "With the same offer, we can basically sign Shevchenko, right?"

These words seemed to remind Abramovich and made the eyes of the Russians shine.

is not that right?

For the same price, why not sign Andriy Shevchenko, but sacrifice everything to buy a 19-year-old kid?

"And, as far as I know, Su Dong's agent seems to have said that he wants to get a promise from our club, that is, to become the team's number one star. So what if we sign Shevchenko in the future?"

Abramovich looked at the trusted female assistant and nodded, feeling that her analysis was very timely.

You know, he has promised Shevchenko in private that he will become Chelsea's number one star, and his status will be higher than that of key players such as Terry and Lampard. But if he signs Su Dong and gives him such a promise, how can he sign Shevchenko?

If it was a choice between Shevchenko and Su Dong, then he would not hesitate at all, it must be Shevchenko!

He firmly believes that Shevchenko will definitely succeed in Chelsea, lead Chelsea to win the Champions League, and become a top giant!
As for Su Dong, maybe he is very strong, but he can't compete with Shevchen Kobe.

"Then do it!" Abramovich made a decision on the spot.

"Continue to contact AC Milan and increase the offer for Shevchenko. It is best to tell Braida that we are determined to win Shevchenko and let him make an offer directly!"

For Ukrainian "compatriots", Abramovich is really thirsty for talents.

"In addition, when we contacted Valencia, they said that it was impossible for us to offer Su Dong a high transfer fee. At the same time, we also told his agent that we will not promise Su Dong the position of the top star in the team, but we can make appropriate concessions in terms of annual salary."

Using money to solve the gap in status, Abramovich believes that this should also be regarded as his sincerity.

Of course, the annual salary he promised to Su Dong now, the contract to Shevchenko will definitely be more lucrative.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince Valencia and Sudong." Peter Kenyon's premonition was not ideal.

Abramovich nodded, and said with a smile: "Peter, you have to believe that there are not so many winners in European football. Su Dong is not worth such a high transfer fee. Don't look at Valencia's fierce shouting now. Just wait, during the winter break, at the latest next summer, they will definitely break their bones and sell them!"

Maybe Abramovich is right.

Peter Kenyon was not very confident either.

After all, the most powerful Real Madrid is a feud with Valencia, and it is not ordinary to want to introduce Sudong.

As for Barcelona, ​​after basically finalizing Deco, are they really willing to sell their pot and sell their iron to introduce Sudong?

If you can't sell it this year, you can only have a discount next year!
