Frank Lampard is Supported by Roman Abramovic to Bring in Great Players

DBasia.news – Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard is said to have the support of the president, Roman Abramovic to bring in great players in the transfer market next season.

The Russian billionaire reportedly believes, there will be market sluggishness in the player transfer market at the start of next season. The sluggishness of this market is inseparable from the pressure on the finances of big European clubs due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In fact, the European Club Association predicts that European clubs will suffer a total loss of £ 3.5 million in the financial budget report next year.

As a result, in order to avoid greater losses, European clubs, including clubs in the English League, will rethink in bringing in star players in the transfer market next summer. On the other hand, the prices of player transfers are predicted to decline.

These conditions have exploited Chelsea by recruiting large-scale players in the transfer market next summer. This is to support the ambition to be able to compete in the race for the Premier League title next season and cut the quality gap with Manchester City and Liverpool, who appeared dominant in the last two seasons.

”Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, is ready to pour large funds into the upcoming transfer market. He seemed convinced that there would be a market downturn due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, rival clubs, Chelsea will also have difficulty to shop for players as the pressure on the financial balance is quite large, ” wrote Sky Sports report, Thursday (9/7).

In fact, Chelsea have shown this ambition even before the European transfer market was officially opened. The West London team had agreed to redeem Hakim Ziyech from Ajax Amsterdam in the middle of this season, and then followed by an agreement to move the German striker, Timo Werner, from RB Leipzig.

However, it did not stop there, Chelsea reportedly was in the leading position in the race for Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder, Kai Harvertz. The Blues are said to be negotiating with Leverkusen regarding the possible decline in the value of transfers requested by Die Werkself.

Leverkusen was reported to have just released Harvertz with a transfer value of no less than 90 million pounds.

While other clubs are said to still have obstacles to be able to recruit the German attacking midfielder. In order to meet the demand for the transfer value from Leverkusen, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich reportedly had to sell their players first.

While Manchester United, who are also reportedly interested in recruiting Harvertz, are said to be more focused on getting the signature of Borussia Dortmund’s winger, Jadon Sancho.
