Chapter 611 Opening of new stadium plan

"Leeds United Supermarket opens" With the news that Pepe and Falcao packaged and transferred to Real Madrid, the English media couldn't wait to announce that Leeds United was about to be divided.

What followed were various clubs' offers and inquiries for Leeds United players. Of course, Li Yi rejected all of these. It's not right, I can't say all of them, such as Olic's offer.

However, whether Olic leaves or not depends on himself. After confirming that Pepe and Falcao were about to leave, Li Yi recruited Suarez and Cavani back and gave them a new contract.

Both Suarez and Cavani are very excited about being able to really come to the Premier League. After all, Leeds United performed so well last season, and they can even play in the Champions League next season.

The return of the two was also announced at the first time, but obviously, under the shadow of Pepe and Falcao's transfer, the return of the two did not attract much attention.

Suarez has just been promoted to the main force in Ajax. Although his performance is good, he can't compare with Falcao at all, and Cavani is similar.

9000 million euros, the powerful media quickly exposed the price of Real Madrid packing Pepe and Falcao, and for this offer, the media generally felt that it was too high.

In fact, there are suspicions of slander. After all, the relationship between the media and Li Yi is very bad, and they will never let go of any opportunity to embarrass Li Yi.

Pepe's performance in Leeds United is obvious to all, and this season he has improved to the level of a top central defender. Leeds United's defense is no worse than Manchester United and Chelsea.

Although Falcao has only been in Europe for half a season, Falcao's performance is amazing. In addition to Falcao's age, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Of course, the departure of Pepe and Falcao would definitely cause some harassment and turmoil in the team. Fortunately, Li Yi had prepared for it and comforted him in advance. Besides, it was normal for players to leave and arrive.

Real Madrid fans are still satisfied with the arrival of Pepe and Falcao. After all, Li Yi's vision is obvious to all, not to mention that Li Yi also created the glory of the Triple Crown in Real Madrid.

Of course, Real Madrid fans want Li Yi to return more than players, but this is obviously impossible. Just after the official transfer of Pepe and Falcao, Leeds United announced that Li Yi reached an agreement with the club and signed a new four-year contract.

The new contract between Li Yi and Leeds United did have a reassuring effect. You know, Leeds United fans are worried that Li Yi will leave after the season. After all, Li Yi is the coach of two Champions League champions, and there are many wealthy clubs.

After Li Yi completed his contract extension, he called several important players in the team. After that, the impact of Pepe and Falcao's departure was minimized.

"The construction plan of the new stadium can be started." On the top floor of the Leeds United office building, Leeds United is holding a high-level recall. It is said that it is high-level, but in fact there are only four people.

Li Yi, Bellucci, Salerno, and Liu Yao belonged to the auditorium, and Liu Yao was Li Yi's younger sister, and she would also participate in the business planning of Leeds United in the future.

The departure of Pepe and Falcao brought Leeds United 9000 million euros, and this season's fourth place will allow Leeds United to get more than 4000 million pounds in broadcast fees. Coupled with the cooperation contract currently being discussed, Leeds United's net profit this season will exceed 1.5 million pounds, and even move towards 2 million pounds.

Although the club itself has a lot of expenses, the salaries of the players, the salaries of the club staff, all kinds of equipment and stadium maintenance.

But this is really nothing compared to the income. The salaries of players in the Leeds United team are generally not high. Even the player who has completed the highest contract renewal this season has an annual salary of only 300 million pounds.

"Or wait another season" Salerno is as conservative as ever.

"In fact, it is also possible for us to expand the Elland Road Stadium," Salerno said again.

The expansion of the Elland Road Stadium will cost tens of millions of pounds, but the construction of a new stadium will cost hundreds of millions of pounds.

But one thing is good, Li Yi chose the stadium that Leeds United had shelved before. Originally, Leeds United planned to renovate the stadium, but because of the club's financial problems, this plan was aborted.

Li Yi has been planning to restart the new stadium since he moved into Leeds United. Originally, Li Yi wanted to wait for a season or two, but with the improvement of the team and the abundance of funds, Li Yi's restless heart still couldn't bear it.

"I have already consulted professionals to estimate that it will cost about [-] million pounds to renovate the new stadium. Even if we build other facilities near the stadium, it will only cost about [-] million pounds. The current funds we have are enough to start the new stadium construction plan." According to Leeds United's current funds, it is more than enough to start the new stadium plan. shares.

"In fact, our main problem now is whether to renovate or push it to rebuild." In fact, Leeds United had negotiated with the city government before, and now Leeds United wants to restart and go through one side of the process. Compared with the city government, it will give the green light. After all, Leeds United is helpful to the entire city.

"Let's renovate, after all, the original stadium itself is very big, and it's not too dilapidated." Leeds United moved because it was a nearly ready-made stadium. Unfortunately, all of this was stranded because of Leeds United's bankruptcy.

"Renovate it better. If it is completely demolished and rebuilt, it will take almost twice as long." It takes almost four years to build a new stadium, such as Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, but if it is really renovated on the original basis, the time spent can be reduced by half.

Therefore, if it is renovated, it is estimated that it will be able to move into the new stadium in 10 years, but if it is postponed to reconstruction, it is estimated that it will have to wait until the summer of 12.

Besides, pushing it to rebuild would not only waste time, but also cost more money. This must be taken into consideration, so Li Yi didn't insist on pushing it to rebuild.

"Then it's settled?" In fact, the meeting didn't last long, after all, they just made a decision, and the real busy time came next.

For example, meeting with a designer, looking for a construction company, of course, there is a major premise, that is to go to the city government to obtain the right to use the new stadium.

The new stadium is not a purchase, but a lease, but the period is very long. The original Leeds United leased for 100 years, but Li Yi doubled the number and directly changed it to 200 years.

At first, the government was still a little worried. After all, the lessons learned from the past are vivid, but with the financial statements of Leeds United, the government immediately gave the green light, and the series of big moves of Leeds United naturally cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who are interested.
