"Southampton, why is it Southampton again?"
In a mansion in the West End of London, Abramovich slammed a newspaper in his hand on the table.
Originally, after getting up early in the morning, he was in a good mood, and he completely turned into cloudy, and there was even a kind of rushing rain that was approaching.
"Why did this group of reporters keep staring at Southampton? What benefit did the Saints give them?"
For this, Abramovich has always been confused.
It stands to reason that the transfer market is so lively and there are too many materials to report. Why do you keep reporting on Southampton?
Others are not clear, but at least for this period of time, Southampton has almost occupied the headlines of all major newspapers in the UK and even major newspapers in Europe. Do they have this influence?
Granovsky sat tremblingly, not daring to say anything.
In fact, she is clear about this issue.
After all, Southampton is hype.
Even the saints are not afraid to tell reporters that they just want to hype.
And the reporter?
In order to sell, in order to stimulate fans, they are also happy to see, and even take the initiative to cooperate with Southampton hype.
Azpilicueta switched to Tottenham Hotspur!
The Saints sign Tottenham Hotspur youth team center Harry Kane!
Ibrahimovic airborne Paris Saint-Germain!
Fabregas returns to the Premier League and joins the Saints!
Harvey Martinez set a record for Bayern Munich transfer fee and landed in the Bundesliga!
Southampton shot again, Monaco talented striker Martial joined the Saints!
James Rodríguez joins Real Madrid at a high price!
This pile of piles, one by one, from the early release of clues, letting reporters hear the news, in-depth excavation and investigation, to the club's official announcement, the truth is revealed, the entire transfer process is in order.
If there is no deliberate arrangement, who believes it?
Do you really think that the group of elites in the Southampton News Department are all vegetarian?
At least in terms of news and propaganda, Chelsea do not know how much inferior to Southampton, even in the relationship and network of the British media field, Chelsea are far behind the Saints.
People are too professional in this respect!
Therefore, the Saints can dominate the important pages of major British media and even major European media for a long time.
James Rodriguez joined Real Madrid at a sky-high price of 100 million pounds, which completely detonated the entire European football scene.
Almost everyone couldn't believe it and felt crazy, but it just happened.
And just when the whole world was shocked by this, the Saints' first team started silently 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 Croatian midfield transfer soap opera is also over!
As a professional manager, Granovsky has often heard of saints.
Almost all people in the industry mention the Saints, whether they are friendly or hostile, basically they will not deny that the Saints are the most professional and efficient football club in European football, not even 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, the two parties signed the contract. Two hours.
This is simply impossible for Chelsea.
Therefore, Granovsky knew well about the treatment of Southampton in the newspapers, and I really envy it!
Abramovich's character is also a bit weird. After being angry, no one paid attention to him, and he put out the fire after a while.
"Marina, how is the progress of introducing Stones?" the Russian asked.
This summer, Chelsea’s signings in the transfer market are really hitting walls everywhere, which is very unfavorable.
Among the several preferred goals outlined before, there is still hope, and there is only one Stones left.
This native England teenager has just made his mark. He is a rare technical midfielder with extraordinary potential.
Currently Chelsea's central defender is also a pit, so the introduction of Stones is imperative.
It can even be said to be at all costs!
"I called Robert Elston several times, but he never nodded in Stones's transfer. As for the players, he is still changing agents. We are currently unable to get in direct contact with him."
Abramovich closed his eyes and exhaled heavily, "How much did we offer him?"
"Fifteen million pounds."
15 million pounds?
For a 20-year-old central defender who has only played in the Premier League for a season, it is a pretty good price.
You know, in January 2013, when Everton introduced Stones from Barnsley in the English Champions League, it only cost three million pounds, a year and a half, a full increase. Isn't five times enough?
"Originally, we planned to use Lukaku’s transfer to talk to Everton, but we had an agreement with Everton, and Everton was unwilling to entangle Lukaku with Stones. ,and so……"
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 the money to pry his mouth open, and take Stones anyway!"
"understand!"
"Also, how is the transfer between Italy and Hamburg?" Abramovich asked concerned.
This summer, Chelsea’s reorganization plan, Abramovich was completely entrusted to Granowski and Mendes, and the two were responsible for part of them. Among them, Mendes was responsible for the transfer in Italy and Hamburg. Charhanoglu.
"I don't know, I'll call back and ask Mendes!"
"Yeah!" Abramovich nodded, but quickly looked at Granovsky again.
"Marina, you call him now and I will tell him!"
"it is good!"
Granovskia quickly took out his cell phone, found Mendes' phone number, and called directly.
After two beeps, the phone is connected.
"Hey, Marina, is there anything to do with me?" Mendes asked on the phone.
"The boss wants to tell you!"
After Granovsky finished speaking, he immediately handed the phone to Abramovich's hand.
"Hey, Jorge, it's me!"
"Hello, Roman!"
"Now the team has started training, I want to know, how is your progress?"
There was a little movement on the phone, and obviously Mendes was looking for a quieter place.
"Roman, I have already contacted. Cuadrado in Florence, the problem is not big, and Rakitic in Seville is basically settled, but the situation in Inter Milan and Hamburg is a bit troublesome, they will not let go. "
Abramovich closed his eyes and showed an impatient expression, "Jorge, then you can find a way to let them relax. We don’t have much time now. Jose has been urging again. The transfer must be completed as soon as possible."
After thinking for a while, Abramovich gritted his teeth, "In this way, you can appropriately increase the offer for the transfer of several players. Now the most important thing is to introduce players. Do you understand what I mean? "
"understand!"
"I heard that Arsenal and Manchester United are now also interested in La Nokia and Icardi. You have to be as fast as possible, otherwise it will be a protracted entanglement with them!"
"Good!" Mendes nodded and agreed.
"Oh, by the way, Roman, I've dealt with something in Asia recently. The transfer of Quadrado and Rakitic, you ask Marina to send someone to follow up. Basically, everything has been negotiated, just some details. Terms, the problem is not big."
"Okay, wait until you return to Europe!"
After speaking, Abramovich hung up.
The introduction of the winger madman in Serie A, the fierce midfielder in La Liga, the strength of Chelsea has been strengthened, and Abramovich's heart has relaxed a lot.
Wouldn't it be said that it is not worthwhile?
…………
…………
Jorge Mendes hung up Abramovich's call, and suddenly felt his head fought.
If it is said that Quadrado and Rakitic’s transfer, he can still let go of his hands and feet to deal with it, then Icardi, La Nokia and Charhanoglu have made Mendes shrink a little.
When Yang Huan had just acquired Atletico Madrid, he immediately used thunder tactics against him and cut off his hand in Atletico Madrid. This incident has left him an extremely deep impression 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 established his own football empire. For this ability, Mendes has to admire from his heart.
The same rich man, the same boss, but Abramovich is a bit worse than Yang Huan in this respect.
Mendes had long suggested that Abramovich take this route, so many Chelsea players were sent to PSV and Portuguese Super League teams to play games and accumulate experience.
But later, Abramovich chose to give up halfway.
But judging from the current situation, Yang Huan's choice is undoubtedly more wise.
As a football agent, he knows very well that even if a character like Young Master Huan can't make friends, he must not offend him.
This is why he resolutely chose to withdraw from Atletico Madrid in the first place to give Young Master Huan a face.
But now, are you really going to offend Young Master Huan for Chelsea?
If it were a month ago, Mendes might have this idea, but now, he is gone!
After hanging up Abramovich's call, the Portuguese agent took a heavy breath, squeezed a smile, and walked back to the conference room where he had just walked out.
As he told Abramovich on the phone, he is in Asia.
And it's in Longhai, China.
This is the meeting room of the Southampton office in China.
Sitting inside is Yang Huan Sorry, Master Huan, there are too many trivial things, I'm really sorry! "
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry anyway."
Mendes smiled apologetically, and immediately asked his negotiators to continue negotiations on the specific terms and details of the player treatment contract issued by Southampton.
After several days of consideration, Di Maria decided to join Southampton after Bielsa personally called him!
And because the Southampton training camp was arranged in China, the club's major players have come to China, so Mendes also had to travel to Longhai from Europe to discuss 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 championship and won the Champions League again, the Saints successively re-signed sky-high sponsorship contracts with main sponsors such as Nike and Qatar Airways. The commercial value is quite amazing.
But what surprised Mendes is that the Chinese market is too big and amazing.
With these three contracts, Southampton will be able to bring in more than tens of millions of income in one year.
Moreover, it is said that there are still many large financial groups rushing to cooperate with the saints, which is really shocking.
"Jorge!"
Yang Huan stood up suddenly.
"Ah? What is Master Huan's instructions?" Mendes also quickly stood up.
"Leave them to deal with such trivial matters, let's go for a walk!"
Mendes looked at his assistant, and he didn't seem to think there was any problem, so he nodded.
"Okay, Master Huan, please!"
