The "Blue Army" is looking for a purchase of £27 million? Parker's news caused an uproar as soon as it was exposed by the media. Countless Leeds United fans were crying...

"We're going to lose Ben? Parker!"

"Oh, this may be the sorrow of our small team. We always have to send the talented stars we have trained to those giant teams!"

"Our new boss should show some ambitions. We have won the league runner-up last year. We will definitely have a chance to win the league this season. We also have to play in the Champions League. The team should perform more competitively, so players like Ben Parker must not be sold!"

Ben Parker may leave, which makes Leeds fans very sad, but they are just sad. They already know the position of their team. Leeds United is not a giant team. They can also have a star lineup like "Leeds Three Musketeers", "Beasts" Tevez, Ameobi, Nelson Oliveira, and Metres. In fact, Leeds fans are very happy. They have never imagined that these stars will keep playing in the team. As long as they can play beautiful football while they are there, it is enough.

League champion...that's just a dream!

The winning streak twenty years ago made the "Youth Guards" regain their vitality after so long, and even the team was once submerged in the low-level league. This experience... was enough for one time. Temporary glory was not what they wanted, and continuous strength was what really made the fans happy.

Simon Grayson was summoned by Bielhoff again. The German recently looked for his head coach very frequently, but this time the reason should be that there is only one, that is, there is a transfer about Ben Parker.

As soon as the two met, Bielhof said straight to the point: "Simon, how much do you think Ben Parker should be worth?"

Simon Grayson looked at Bielhof's serious face and said very seriously: "It was developed by our team, so I know him very well. This player still has potential to dig. He is only 21 years old. He still has a lot of room for appreciation. He can be worth 27 million pounds this year, and he can be worth more than 30 million next year. We can even sell him to a high price of 40 million!"

Bielhof nodded: "It's the same as our evaluation results, so...hehe, Simon, let's just refuse to drop Chelsea. We won't sell people this season, we still have some money. I hope you can continue to sign and supplement the team. Of course, those too expensive stars are forgot, that doesn't fit our recruitment policy. This season, we have to strive for some good results, leagues, and Champions League, we can't leave it!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Chairman, I will definitely do my best to lead the team well, and I will continue to look for players in the transfer market that will complement our team."

Simon Grayson was very excited. He had never received such support from Ken Bates, and the chairman would take the initiative to spend money to buy people. The stingy old man would not do this.

But the next words of Elhoff made Simon Grayson stunned: "Simon, I think I should tell you about the long-term plan of our club. You also know that the money we bought Leeds United comes from venture capital, and the money will be returned. It's just a matter of time. We won't have a financial burden this season, so we can spend money in many aspects at the same time, such as the transfer market, the expansion of the stadium, the renovation of the Thorpe Arch training base, etc. The club has also made some other commercial investments, which will bring us benefits. But... at this time next year, we will start paying back the money, £50 million a year, and paying it off for four consecutive years, so we will have to live a tight life. Simon, do you understand what I mean?"

Simon Grayson nodded in surprise, but his mood was very complicated. It was really not very good to walk from heaven to hell!

At this time, Simon Grayson completely understood the entire plan of Bielhoff and his team to acquire Leeds United. This was simply a copy of the Glazer family's plan to buy Manchester United for nothing. The only difference is how much financing it is.

In this way, it is no wonder that Bielhoff cares so much about Ben? How much can Parker sell for in the end? And if you count it, one Parker can sell for 30 million pounds. In addition, Shaq and Jonny Hausen, the "Three Musketeers of Leeds" should make the Germans lose at least 100 million pounds. The Germans' investment... is really smart!

It can be said that the current "Young Guards" are just the value of players, which may be close to 200 million pounds, which is equivalent to retrieving the German investment. Elland Road Stadium, Thorpe Arch Training Base, etc. are the benefits of the Germans. Ken Bates sold the team and it was a big loss. However, this stingy old man doesn't know where to regret it now. If he could meet Leeds United playing so well last season, he would probably have to hold back his team.

When Simon Grayson returned to Thorpe Arch training base, the best coach of the English Premier League last season had already raised his chest and announced to his coaching staff with a passionate look: "Reject Chelsea's offer! Our Mr. Chairman said that we will not sell people this summer, we will only buy people! Guys, we still need to continue to sign players, wingers and left backs must buy people! Spend money! Spend a lot of money! Hahahahaha..."

Simon Grayson smiled a little crazy, but was greeted by cheers and applause from his colleagues. Leeds United coaching staff was so happy after learning the news. Chelsea’s offer to Ben Parker really put a lot of pressure on them. It was not ten million, but 27 million pounds. If we had a little negotiation, with the wealth of the "Blue Army" and their always-off style in the transfer market, 30 million pounds are guaranteed, and it is quite difficult for anyone to refuse such a sum of money.

But now, all the difficulties have disappeared. The "Youth Guards" will not only not sell their team's main players, but will also continue to sign. This is the embodiment of the team's ambition!

This season, Leeds United has made drastic reforms to the roster. In the first team, except for the "black big guys" Ameobi, Hamette Altentop, and substitute goalkeeper Paul Lachuca, three of them are over 30 years old. All the others are players under 30. Papachi, Whitehead, Danny Pew and other veterans have been cleaned up, and even Becchio has been sold off. The overall age structure of the team has become more reasonable, which naturally further improves the team's combat effectiveness. Moreover, the extra salary quota can also allow first-team players to get room for salary increase, and the team has the capital to leave Red, Ben Parker and others.

Leeds United rejected Chelsea's offer to Ben Parker for £27 million. As soon as the news came out, it caused a lot of sensation. Leeds fans were ecstatic, while those waiting to watch Leeds' lively also understood the significance of the "Young Guards" move...

Leeds United, this is going to continue fighting this year. They have already won the league runner-up last year. This year... do you still have to attack the championship?

With this understanding, the "Young Guards" encountered unprecedented difficulties in some contacts in the transfer market. If they are interested in any player, they will be treated by the other party's price gouging.

As a last resort, Simon Grayson could only place the direction of signing outside England. Now that the Italian League One is in decline, the players in the Bundesliga are also cheap and the players in the Ligue 1 are even cheaper. He doesn't need to hang himself from a tree. It's just that the rhythm and style of the English Premier League are too different from other leagues and their level is much higher, so there is a certain risk in introducing players from abroad who have not proved themselves.

It has to be said that after Leeds United had Bielhof and his German team, the team's attractiveness to German players has been further enhanced, and Bielhof's reputation in German football has also indirectly helped the team.

Simon Grayson quickly bought two players from Germany, one was Swiss international Barnetta from Leverkusen. This unimaginable player who can play in all positions in the midfield only cost Leeds United £2.5 million, and the other was Bochum's 21-year-old talented midfielder Kevin Vogt. Leeds United only paid £720,000 for him, which are all the credits of Bielhof and his team.

In addition to these two players, Leeds United poached their 21-year-old talented attacking player John Fleck from the Glasgow Rangers in Scotland. However, in order to get the teenage genius, Leeds United paid a transfer fee of 5.5 million pounds.

In addition, Madias Carruzzo, Leeds United's transfer expenses this season have reached 18 million pounds. The four new players are both players who are 28 years old and can directly strengthen the team's combat effectiveness. The two 21-year-old boys are investing in the future.

Simon Grayson can already imagine that Leeds United will live a tight life next summer, and they may even sell the leading stars like the "Three Leeds Musketeers". Now reserve more talents, and there will be a replacement at that time, at least it can ensure that the team's strength will not decline too much.

Seeing that the training day of the new season is coming, Simon Grayson smiled as he looked at his team's roster. He is now looking forward to what his team will perform in the new season. The combat effectiveness of this team... is really worth looking forward to! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
