"What happened?"

"Louis said that Fabregas still wants to sign with Arsenal. No matter how he and the representatives of the Barcelona club persuade him, it is of no use. Now they can only temporarily delay the time for Fabregas to sign the contract, so that you can go over and take a look. Is there any other way?"

"I understand. Stephen, book me a ticket to Barcelona immediately."

"clear."

Chen Ran called Cheryl and told her that he was going on a business trip, and then rushed directly from the club to Heathrow Airport.

In fact, Chen Ran had already been mentally prepared for this kind of situation.

In his previous life, Cesc Fabregas went to Arsenal this summer, and now that he has stepped out to cut him off, he will inevitably have a head-on confrontation with Arsenal.

If this interception is successful, then it is almost certain that Crystal Palace and Arsenal will be at odds.

Chen Ran also thought about it for a long time before making up his mind to cut off Hu.

Both clubs are in London, and according to Chen Ran's plan, Crystal Palace will be promoted to the Premier League this season and will participate in the competition for the Premier League championship next season.

Direct competitors like Arsenal cannot become friends anyway.

Moreover, according to Chen Ran's memory, after Arsenal won the Premier League championship this season, Arsenal never won the Premier League championship again until Chen Ran was reborn.

In other words, this season is Arsenal's final peak.

If they lose their future captain and core midfielder Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal's decline is expected to accelerate, and the threat to Crystal Palace in the future will be even smaller.

When weighing the two aspects, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

So, Chen Ran took action.

After flying to Barcelona overnight, the little fat man took Chen Ran back to the hotel.

"Tell me the specific situation."

Chen Ran's tone was very calm, but the little fat man looked embarrassed and rubbed his hands in embarrassment. He was patting his chest for sure.

"When the people from Barcelona and I found Fabregas, he had already negotiated terms with Arsenal and was ready to sign the contract the next day. If we hadn't had a buy-back clause with Barcelona, ​​Fabregas wouldn't have been there at all. Will take care of me."

"what about now?"

"After Cesc Fabregas found out that we had a buy-back clause, he ran to ask people at Arsenal if they could also add a buy-back clause. It seems that Arsenal haven't responded yet, so they haven't signed the contract yet."

"It's fine if there's no signing. Just contact Fabregas and tell him that I want to talk to him in person tomorrow."

"OK."

Chen Ran knew in his heart that these children from La Masia still hope to play for Barcelona.

In his previous life, eight years after joining Arsenal, Cesc Fabregas gave up his captaincy at the golden age of twenty-four and resolutely decided to leave Arsenal and move to Barcelona.

Chen Ran believed that neither Wenger nor Arsenal were willing to agree to the transfer at that time.

Because Arsenal was already in decline at the time, Fabregas could be said to be the only top star in the team who could make a difference.

If it weren't for Fabregas's insistence, this transfer would not have been completed.

Therefore, Chen Ran was certain that the buy-back clause he proposed was a deadly bait. Catching FC Barcelona with one end and Cesc Fabregas with the other, no one could escape.

London, Arsenal Club.

It was late at night, but the lights were still brightly lit in Wenger's office.

"Boss, Cesc Fabregas is in a hurry and has called me three times. Have you thought about it?"

On the phone, the voice of the Arsenal staff sent to Barcelona came.

"Don't worry. If Fabregas calls you again, just tell him that I will give him a reply tomorrow. Also, check who Fabregas has met in the past two days."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Wenger couldn't help but rub his brow.

How could things that were originally going smoothly suddenly become like this?

There must be something going on here that I don't know about.

Wenger thought about this new buy-back clause again. Could it be that Barcelona intervened because they were not willing to allow the players they had worked so hard to train to be poached for free?

Well, it's very possible.

If it were me, and I saw someone trying to poach the outstanding players trained by Arsenal’s youth training for free, would I do nothing?

Wenger asked himself, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Barcelona Club was obstructing this matter.

He knew that what he had done was unethical, so it was not surprising that FC Barcelona would react this way.

However, this repurchase clause is absolutely impossible to add.

If this buy-back clause is added, wouldn't Arsenal become helping Barcelona train new players?

Arsenal is at its peak right now.

Under the leadership of Wenger, Arsenal and Manchester United have alternately won the Premier League championship trophy in recent years and are recognized as the two strongest clubs in England.

However, it may be Wenger's personal coaching style, or it may be the club owner's style.

Arsenal always wants to spend a small amount of money to achieve big things.

That is to say, Wenger is super capable and can always discover outstanding youth training talents, and then bring them back to Arsenal to train and train them until they become the backbone of the team.

Therefore, even Cristiano Ronaldo, who Wenger was very optimistic about before and sent someone to track him for a long time, missed out because Arsenal were unwilling to pay a high price.

Wenger is also very optimistic about the current Cesc Fabregas, but it is absolutely impossible for him to agree to the buy-back clause.

Arsenal will not do business at a loss.

The next day, Chen Ran met Fabregas.

Now Fabregas is still a handsome young man. Apart from his shortcomings in height, he also has a good foundation to become an idol player like Ronaldo.

"Hello, Cesc Fabregas, I am Chen Ran, the chairman and head coach of Crystal Palace Club. Nice to meet you. Can I call you Cesc?"

"Of course, Mr. Chairman."

Although he had read some information about the Crystal Palace before, Fabregas was still a little surprised when he actually saw Chen Ran.

This maverick Crystal Palace boss is so young, he doesn’t look much older than himself.

After Luis and people from Barcelona found Fabregas, Crystal Palace, a club whose name Fabregas had never heard of, came into his sight for the first time.

Fabregas' agent introduced him to the situation of Crystal Palace, especially the huge changes brought about by Chen Ran's acquisition this season, as well as the fact that Crystal Palace currently has three consecutive wins and is at the top of the English Championship, and is very hopeful of being promoted to the Premier League.
