Stamford Bridge Stadium, London, England.

The atmosphere in the Chelsea CEO's office was a bit stiff.

Gurley, who took over the club's power from Peter Kenion, was furious, and sitting opposite him was the Nigerian, forty-five-year-old technical director Emenelo.

Chelsea this summer has not been smooth, and both the team and the management have experienced a big and small turmoil.

After Scolari was dismissed, Chelsea faced a lot of walls in selecting coaches, and finally chose the young Boas, who was ambitious to return home and do something at Stamford Bridge, and then got out of Mourinho's shadow.

This is exactly the same as Gurley and Emenelo's thoughts.

They all want to prove that they are no worse than their ex.

And their predecessors are almost all the best people in European football, Peter Kenyon and Frank Arnesen.

Emenelo's career was not worth talking about. He played in the United States, Belgium, Germany and Notts County in England, but that's all. After retiring, he began to transform into a coach and served as Grant's deputy. Later, he followed Grant to Chelsea and served as the head of scouts. He had good work skills and was soon promoted to Scolari's assistant coach.

After Boas came to power, Frank Arnesen's resignation as technical director was pending. The club finally decided to promote internally and promote Emenelo, but soon, disadvantages emerged.

Introducing a high-level central defender is the biggest problem for Chelsea in the past six months. David Luis has always been the first player to sign up for the club. He even almost joined Stamford Bridge during the winter break in January, but later it was stranded for various reasons.

This summer, the team has maintained close contact with Benfica and negotiated David Luis' transfer. The two sides failed to negotiate on the price, so they first focused on attacking Mata and Lukaku, and then introduced midfielder Romeu from Barcelona.

But just when the club was about to switch to David Luis, Paris Saint-Germain suddenly broke out and caught Chelsea off guard, which also completely stunned Gurley and Emenelo.

"What should I do?" Gurley asked in a deep voice.

David Luis has always been the first choice for Chelsea's central defender to sign, but now he has been given a first win by Paris Saint-Germain, which disrupts Chelsea's original deployment and plan.

"I didn't expect Paris Saint-Germain to be so efficient. It is said that Mendes went to negotiate in person. He is David Luis's agent. The player hit it off with Paris Saint-Germain, so the transfer was negotiated in just two days. We didn't even receive the news, so they signed the contract." Emenelo was also very depressed.

Who believes that if you are not prepared before?

More importantly, Paris Saint-Germain gave only 30 million euros, which is only 5 million euros more than the quotes given by Chelsea before, and this price is completely within the acceptable range of Chelsea.

"Oh my God, with the current situation in European football, central defenders are so scarce, what should we do next?" Gurley felt like a big head. Emenelo still lacked experience in this area, his movements and efficiency were too slow, and he could not keep up with the pace of the transfer market at all.

You should know that today's European transfer market is like a battle for football resources, and the trader's pros and cons are too much.

At least, if Arnesen was there, David Louis would probably have taken it.

"Our No. 2 target is Thiago Silva of AC Milan, and No. 3 target is Aldevelde of Chinatown. Both central defenders have received a lot of attention from the teams. I think we should do it as soon as possible." Emenelo suggested.

Gurly exhaled heavily, picked up the diàn huà on the table, pressed a number, and called.

Soon, Abramovich's voice came from diàn huà.

The Russian asked David Luis why his transfer failed. Gurli had to whisper and repeatedly explain in a low voice that there was indeed a mistake in the operation of the transfer. At the same time, he also asked Abramovich for advice, hoping to turn to Thiago Silva and win the second target as soon as possible.

Everyone knows that AC Milan is the most short of money.

It took more than ten minutes before Gurli died, raised his head and looked at Emenelo maliciously.

"The boss has agreed. We must take Thiago Silva as soon as possible no matter what, and don't make any mistakes."

Gurley can fully understand Abramovich's mood at this moment. He failed to defeat David Luis. Chelsea suffered heavy losses because there was another outstanding central defender in the transfer market and the players became even more scarce. Thiago Silva's net worth will definitely be higher than before.

From David Luis to Thiago Silva, Chelsea paid at least 10 million euros more. Even if Abramovich was rich, his heart would definitely be bleeding.

If it messes up again this time, those who wait for Gurli and Emenelo will not just be scolded.

Emenelo knew this very well, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and found his partner in Italy, hoping to get AC Milan general manager Galliani out to meet him as soon as possible.

diàn huà was quickly opened, but just as Emenelo had just explained his meaning, he gave him a bolt from the blue, which shocked him so much that his phone almost dropped.

"What?"

At the Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona, ​​Spain, Barcelona president Roseljo jumped out of his seat.

"What did you say?"

"The latest news I just got was that AC Milan central defender Thiago Silva successfully transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for a sky-high price of 50 million euros. It is estimated that it will be officially announced to the public in the past two days."

The words of technical director Subizareta made Rossell's face change. Thiago Silva is one of their most important signings this summer, but now he is the first to be promoted by Paris Saint-Germain. This...

"Fifty million euros..." Rossel murmured to himself, his face full of depressedness.

The rich man from the Middle East are rich and powerful. When Manchester City made a big signing, the entire European football world saw it. Now Paris Saint-Germain is obviously following the old path before Manchester City.

Fortunately, everyone was still mocking Paris Saint-Germain for just introducing veterans. As a result, they either didn't take action, but they made continuous big moves. From Pastorre to David Luis, to Thiago Silva today, Paris Saint-Germain has been silently spending more than 100 million euros.

"There are not many excellent central defenders in the transfer market at present." Subisareta reminded him with trepidation.

"Who else?"

"After David Luis and Thiago Silva transfer, there are only two hot candidates left, both in Chinatown."

Rossel frowned, "Otamendi and Aldevelde?"

"Yes, Otamendi is our second signing target, but according to the news we have received, Real Madrid is also interested in this player. Manchester United is interested in Aldervelde, and Chelsea is likely to turn to two central defenders in Chinatown after losing David Luis and Thiago Silva."

"What about Chinatown's attitude?" Rossell asked.

Subisareta's face turned a little weird, "Not selling products!"

"Not selling products?" Rossel almost laughed out loud, "I'm going to be a non-selling product, how much do they want?"

But Subizareta did not answer, but looked at Rosel with a tacit expression.

The Barcelona president was surprised, "The termination fee?"

"Aldevelde's termination fee is 40 million euros, but Otamendi's termination fee is as high as 50 million euros."

"I'm going to go!" Rossel cursed again.

"But the current situation is that even if we are willing to pay the termination fee, Chinatown may not be willing to give in."

If Chinatown refuses to give in, even if Barcelona pays the settlement fee, at least tens of millions of euros will have to pay an additional tax, which is absolutely unacceptable to Barcelona.

"Damn Paris Saint-Germain, a damn Middle Eastern slut, what's the game coming to European football for no reason? The entire transfer market was completely disrupted by them. What's the benefit for them to make the players so valuable?"

Rossell almost got furious when he said it.

Barcelona has just completed the transfer to Fabregas and spent 50 million euros. This is an explanation from Rossell to the fans. If he pays a liquidated damages for Otamendi at this time, Barcelona will have to borrow money from the bank.

But the situation is very bad now. Puyol's surgery is destined to be absent from the opening stage. If a central defender is not introduced in time, Guardiola will not be able to say anything. At that time, the team's performance will be affected and all fans will vent their anger on the management.

Rossell was chosen by the fans, and he must be responsible to the fans.

"I think about it carefully, and your technical department and scouting team will also take a closer look at other candidates."

Rossel said with some frustration.

Fifty million euros are indeed too expensive for Barcelona today.

Not to mention, even if Barcelona is willing to pay the 50 million euros, it still depends on the face of Chinatown.

This dark horse team that finally reached the fourth place in the league last season and entered the Champions League this season is now ambitious to make a big move in the Champions League and gain a foothold in the top four of La Liga. How could it easily sell its star?

While the entire European football world was still immersed in the shock of David Luis and Thiago Silva, the two central defenders, turned to Paris Saint-Germain, the French Ligue 1 giants quietly announced the signing progress.

Antero Enrique convened a press conference and officially announced that the team introduced 20-year-old midfielder Ngolo Kante from Boulogne in the French League in the form of player exchange.

It is also a way to introduce African young player Kurzawa from Monaco through player exchange, and lead defender Olier from the French Ligue 2 team, who was relegated this season.

Except for Olier's performance in the French Ligue 1 last season, both Kante and Kurzawa were unknown, but Paris Saint-Germain used famous players in the team to exchange, which was exactly the same as the previous pattern of using Nene to exchange Azpilicueta.

If this kind of player exchange that seems to be at a disadvantage is understandable if it only makes one move, but again and again, it is necessary to suspect that Paris Saint-Germain is intending to reorganize younger and younger.

Antero Enrique said at a press conference that all transfer transactions are for the club's longer-term development.

But Antero Enrique kept silent about who would take over Paris Saint-Germain.

Just two days after announcing the introduction of three young players, Paris Saint-Germain made another victory in the transfer market.
