Chapter 295 Nick's Belonging

After Nick publicly stated that he would leave Borussia Mönchengladbach, various clubs in Europe immediately caught wind of the news, calling or visiting Mr. Hansen in person, expressing their club's sincerity, and even drawing up a set of blueprints to attract Nick.

Real Madrid President Florentino personally visited the door, he also brought Valdano, Bosque and captain Hierro.

"Mr. Hansen, I'm going to cut to the chase today. Real Madrid has everything ready for Nick. At Real Madrid, he will become the greatest footballer on the planet."

Florentino said very confidently.

"Hehe, Mr. Chairman, I'm very glad to hear this. I want to know what role my son will play in Real Madrid." Mr. Hansen said very seriously.

"Mr. Hansen, I know very well how powerful Nick is. There is no doubt that he will become Real Madrid's center barrier and the hub of offensive and defensive transition. Nick is the core of defense, and Zizou is the core of offense. Real Madrid has Nick and Zizou. It will become a real galaxy battleship, going forward bravely and invincible!" Florentino said proudly. It seems that he already feels that he has the chance to win.

Mr. Hansen's eyelashes trembled. He smiled and said, "Well, Mr. Chairman, I will tell Nick this. As for Nick's choice, he can make up his own mind."

"Mr. Hansen, then wait for your good news."

The next day, Father Mo came to the door again.

"Mr. Hansen, Inter Milan is ready for Nick's arrival. The new Inter Milan will build a team around Nick, and he will become the king of San Siro!"

Father Mo is full of sincerity, and in his heart he does regard Nick as the core of Inter Milan. Father Mo believes that with Nick, Ronaldo will become more unstoppable and Inter Milan will rise again.

Mr. Hansen said with a smile: "I believe in Mr. Chairman's sincerity, and I am also very moved. However, with all due respect, there are too many unstable factors in Inter Milan, including frequent coaching changes and frequent player turnover. I don't know how Mr. Chairman can ensure the development of Nick in Inter Milan."

"This, this is not a problem. With Nick, Inter Milan's performance will improve immediately, and next season I will invite Hestor Cooper to coach Inter Milan. Mr. Cooper once brought the unknown Mallorca to the runner-up position in the European Cup Winners' Cup, and brought Valencia to the runner-up position in the European Champions Cup. I think Valencia's dismissal of Mr. Cooper is a mistake. Now he will succeed in Inter Milan."

Father Mo hurriedly spoke out his plan. Indeed, Cooper is an excellent coach, but his tactical style of play is completely based on defensive counterattacks, and he is not a coach who can give full play to Nick's characteristics.

Nick hopes to go to a full attack and full defense team. If he goes to Inter Milan, he will be firmly nailed to the position of the midfielder and cannot give full play to his offensive talent.

Mr. Hansen said: "Mr. Chairman, I will convey your meaning to Nick, and hope he can be moved by your sincerity."

"Okay, okay, then I will wait for the good news."

The third visitor was Abu.

Abramovich politely brought gifts from Russia to Mr. Hansen and his family.

"Mr. Hansen, please forgive me if I bother you."

"Where is it, Mr. Abu is so busy, he can come here in person, I really admire it."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and immediately got to the point.

"Mr. Hansen, I don't want to talk too much. I will prepare a weekly salary of 15 pounds for Nick. He will become the new captain of Chelsea. The whole Chelsea will revolve around Nick. At the same time, I will also seek his advice on player transactions and coach replacement. As long as Nick objects, I will not act. Mr. Hansen, what do you think?"

Faced with Abramovich's statement, Mr. Hansen was shocked. It was the first time that a boss respected a player so much.

It is acceptable for Nick to say that he is the prince of Chelsea. One person is less than 15 people, and the weekly salary is [-] pounds, which is definitely the best salary in the world. Abramovich’s sincerity is simply too much.

"Well, Mr. Abu, I will tell Nick the news, and if Nick is willing, we will visit you in London in person."

Mr. Hansen said happily.

"That's great, I'll sweep the couch and treat each other."

Nick was also surprised when he received a call from Mr. Hansen. The three clubs are very sincere, but Abramovich's conditions are undoubtedly the best.

It's so cool to be able to decide on the introduction and sale of players, as well as the selection of coaches.

"Okay, let's go to Chelsea!" Nick finalized his next stop.

On July 7, London, the Chelsea club held a press conference, officially announcing that Nick Hansen, the captain of the German national team, had officially joined the Chelsea club.

Nick met a person here who surprised him—Ms. Laura, the former chairman of Borussia Mönchengladbach!She is now the executive chairman of Chelsea.

"Gentlemen and ladies, I now announce that the captain of the German national team, Mr. Nick Hansen, has joined the Chelsea club for 8800 million euros. His weekly salary is 15 pounds and he will play for Chelsea for 3 years."

The audience immediately burst into applause.

Later, Lola and Nick held up a Chelsea Club No. 10 jersey and accepted photos from media reporters.

Nick originally wore the No. 88 jersey in Borussia Mönchengladbach, but later he wore the No. 10 jersey in the German national team, so now Chelsea has also provided Nick with the No. 10 jersey.

This is naturally the number that symbolizes the core, and Nick readily accepts it.

Facing the capture of flashing lights in the audience, Nick faced it calmly with a smile. There is no doubt that he has now become a man of the moment in European football but also in world football. The next day, the media of various countries will put himself on the front page.

Then came the routine interview and questioning phase.

"Hello, Nick, why did you choose to join Chelsea instead of Real Madrid as previously rumored?"

——"Rumors are rumors after all. I joined Chelsea because Mr. Abramovich will do something big. Chelsea will work hard to become a top European giant. This will be a challenge in my life, so I am here."

"Hello, Nick, what is Chelsea's goal this season? Can Chelsea shake Manchester United's supremacy in the Premier League?"

——"Chelsea is now in the rebuilding stage. Football takes time to produce results. I can't guarantee that Chelsea can win the championship now, but it is no problem to qualify for the Champions League."

"Nick, will Chelsea be the new Galacticos?"

——"If you think it is, then it is. Chelsea will attract more excellent players to join, we will dedicate different football to the fans, and we will continue to strive for victory."

The news of Nick joining Chelsea immediately made Chelsea fans ecstatic. The news of Nick joining Chelsea has been blocked until the press conference, so many Chelsea fans did not know it before.

Being able to attract the new European Champions Cup champion captain Nick to join, Chelsea fans believe that the results of the new season will definitely get better.

And Nick's record transfer fee of 8800 million euros has shocked many people's attention.

How much is Nick worth?
For a while, European football continued to criticize.

"It's unbelievable that Nick has just won the Champions League and he can surpass Zizou's worth." - L'Equipe

"Although the future is limitless, 8800 million euros is indeed a bit too much. This kind of expansion will affect the development of football." - "Gazzetta dello Sport"

"It's terrible. A player's worth is so high. This can completely form a team."—— "XX Daily"

"Jinyuan football is on track, and if you want to buy players in the future, you may have to bleed a lot." —— "XX Daily"

"Nick is definitely worth the price. He will bring great energy to Chelsea. He will change the Premier League and European football." - "The Guardian"

"The terrible Chelsea has set sail, the big teams, are you ready?" - "World Sports Daily"

"It's a pity that Nick can't join Real Madrid. He is a phenomenal player. Behind the 8800 million euros, there is no doubt." - "Marca"

"The departure of the best player in the Bundesliga will make the Bundesliga uncompetitive, a very regrettable day." - "Kicker"

Real Madrid chairman Florentino was depressed for several days after learning that Nick had joined Chelsea. He didn't understand why Nick would abandon Real Madrid and join Chelsea.

Real Madrid is full of stars, isn't it easier to win honors in Real Madrid than in Chelsea?

Papa Mo is also very regretful that he cannot introduce Nick. Papa Mo can only test the waters in the player trading market.
