A few hours later, when night fell, Abramovich invited Everton's general manager Robert Elstone to have dinner together in a five-star hotel in Liverpool.

There is not much time left, and there are only about five hours left before the European summer transfer market is closed.

If Everton can be handled now, Abramovich is very confident and has to register.

But he still has to race against time to finalize this matter as soon as possible to avoid long nights of dreams.

"Robert, I mentioned it to you before at the Premier League Presidents Summit that we are very interested in John Stones, and, throughout the summer, we have issued quotations to you four times, but every time you…"

Speaking of this, Abramovich pursed his lips and looked at the top leader of the toffee opposite, his eyes seemed to be saying, "Old man, you could have shirked others before, but this time, I'll talk in person, why do you have to give me some face?"

Robert Elston smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Roman, I'm really sorry. I can only say to you about Stones, I'm sorry, he's not a seller!"

Abramovich laughed, "Robert, you said this to others, maybe they believe it, but in my opinion, although you extended your profits to nearly 30 million pounds and reduced your debt by half last season with this new broadcast contract in the Premier League."

"You should be very clear about stars of Stones' level, you can't keep them at all!"

Elston silently recognized Abramovich's analysis.

"Let me do this, I'll just be more careful and not talk about it anymore. What price Yang Huan offered to you before?"

"Master Huan?" Elston was a little surprised.

How come this is so good, why did it get on Master Huan's head? Could it be...

"Yes, didn't the newspaper say that before? Yang Huan met you just to introduce Stones, and then Prous and Andres Pereira loaned Everton. Do you dare say that you two didn't have a secret agreement?"

"This..." Elston was really confused and embarrassed.

That feeling seemed like the secret in my heart had been exposed.

The more Abramovich saw him like this, the more confident he felt that he must have an agreement with Yang Huan.

At least, they must have a tacit understanding.

Moreover, seeing that Everton has not made any moves this season, it is estimated that Stones will continue to play for Everton.

"In this way, I can guarantee that no matter what price Southampton offers, I will be higher than them. Is this OK?"

Abramovich claimed to be very courageous and made a promise.

But Elston looked bitter, "Roman, you misunderstood, Stones, we really can't sell it!"

Abramovich's face changed a little now, and he was not very happy.

He felt that Elston's words were more like starting prices.

It’s a pussy, I’ve had a good relationship with you before, but I didn’t expect that you were really cruel when you slaughtered someone.

"Forty million pounds, Stones, I want it!"

Elstom's eyes opened, 40 million pounds?

It is 5 million pounds higher than Granovskiya's previous offer, but...

"Roman, I'm really sorry, I..."

Abramovich had a dark face. He was in a very unhappy feeling because of the internal strife between Granovskiya and Mourinho. At this time, he felt even more unhappy when he saw Elston so unrighteous.

"Forty-five million pounds!"

In the blink of an eye, another five million pounds increased.

Elstom's heart suddenly jumped violently, and was very infected, and really wanted to agree.

"Roman, I really..."

When Abramovich saw Elston shaking his head, he felt so angry.

But he gritted his teeth, "Fifty million pounds, will it be sold?"

It can be seen that he is really angry.

For Stones, he is determined to win!

Elston felt a little struggling, his face full of entanglement, and finally, he gritted his teeth.

"Roman, I'll tell you the truth!"

Abramovich nodded lightly, as if he wanted to hear what he said.

"Actually, Stones is not our player at all!"

"What?" Abramovich was shocked.

"You said, Stones is not your player?"

"Yes, he is not!" Elstone nodded.

Abramovich thought of Mendes at the first time, "Did you also introduce third-party ownership institutions?"

But soon, the Russian frowned, "But it's not right, the Premier League does not allow third-party institutions to hold players. If Stones is not your player, he will not be able to register at all."

"He is not owned by a third-party organization, but we loaned it from other teams. It's just that the other party asked us to keep it confidential and handle this matter in a low-key manner."

"Who?" Abramovich's face changed, and he had an ominous premonition.

With Stones' talent and young age, he performed so well as soon as he debuted, it is easy to connect people with the team with the best youth training in the Premier League and the most complete scouting network.

"Southampton!" Elston sighed and said.

"Southampton? How is this possible?" Abramovich cried in his heart, sure enough.

But he was still full of doubts, why did the best young players in England go to the Saints?

Patrick Roberts, Preus, Luke Shaw, Chambers, and now another Stones.

Is it true that I still call you alive?

"In fact, Stones played for Barnsley as early as the start of the English Championship and entered the National Youth Team, Southampton had already bought the player, which was about 1 or 2 million pounds, and then he continued to play for Barnsley on loan."

"In the summer of 2013, we wanted to introduce a central defender, so the scout introduced Stones, so we contacted Barnsley. After hearing about this, Southampton took the initiative to contact us and was willing to loan Stones to our Everton, and we didn't need to pay the loan fee. At the same time, we also gave us some subsidy terms."

"You have also seen what happened next. Last season, Stones played in the first team and even later became the main player. After becoming famous, the invitation to purchase came like snowflakes. We are also having trouble saying!"

Abramovich was completely confused.

He didn't expect that the central defender he worked hard and spent a summer's energy to introduce actually belonged to Southampton. Isn't this a waste of time?

With Yang Huan's character and Stones' performance, how could the saints let go?

etc!

Abramovich thought of something even more terrible.

That is, Chelsea has no time to introduce other players.

Because the transfer window will be closed tonight!

It’s so damn, I was played with by Yang Huan!

"Young Master Huan came to me before, mainly talking about cooperation between the two sides, and also affirming our training of Stones. Therefore, Southampton promised to continue to loan Prous and Andres Pereira to our Everton."

Starting from Stones' loan contract, Everton was not responsible for high costs, but he had to ensure the players' training opportunities and provide enough tutoring and help to the players. Southampton staff will also maintain communication with Everton's coaching staff and Stones himself at any time.

When it comes to training players, Everton asked himself that he was far from Southampton.

Now that Stones has been trained, Everton has begun to lack people again, so he wants to continue to loan the young players in Southampton.

Yang Huan was also happy that the team helped him train players, so he agreed to loan the player to Everton.

He wants to follow the example of how teams such as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Bayern Munich train players in La Liga and Bundesliga.

This approach not only improves players' success rate and game training opportunities, but more importantly, it can greatly improve the influence of Southampton youth training camp and lay the foundation for the top giants in Southampton's Premier League.

Abramovich never expected that something like this would happen.

It's really unbelievable to think about it. The youth training camp in Southampton is already full of talents, but they are still plundering youth training talents outside, especially after the ban on youth training scope of the FA was lifted. I'm afraid the biggest beneficiary is them.

Because the whole world knows how strong the Saints' scout network is.

Abramovich even thought, I'm afraid it's not just a Stones?

That bastard Yang Huan actually made a fortune in silence, and he was really misleading!

"Roman, if you are really interested in Stones, maybe you can talk to Mr. Huan, I believe..."

Abramovich waved his hand and shook his head and said, "No need!"

This is very sour.

Abramovich knew very well that if he went to talk to Yang Huan at this time, he would definitely be killed, and he might even be angry.

Besides, with his personality, how could he please Yang Huan?

Humph, Yang Huan, why do you always let you be ahead?

I will make you look good one day sooner or later!

I swear!
