Chapter 612 The new stadium plan opens

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

What followed was the seduction and asking price of Leeds United players by various clubs. Of course, all of these were rejected by Li Yi, and it was not right. I can't say all of them, such as Olic's offer.

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

Suarez and Cavani are both very excited about being able to really come to the Premier League. After all, Leeds United did so well last season and can 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 the transfer of Pepe and Falcao, the return of the two did not attract much attention.

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

For 90 million euros, the media with supernatural powers quickly exposed the price of Real Madrid's package of Pepe and Falcao, and the media generally felt that this offer was too high.

In fact, there is suspicion of smearing. After all, the relationship between the media and Li Yi is very poor, and they will never miss any opportunity to embarrass Li Yi.

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

Although Falcao has only come to 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 will definitely cause some harassment and turmoil in the team. Fortunately, Li Yi was prepared and comforted in advance. Besides, it is actually normal for players to leave.

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 brilliance of the Triple Crown at Real Madrid.

Of course, Real Madrid fans actually hope that Li Yi can return more than the players, but this is obviously impossible. Just after Pepe and Falcao officially transferred, Leeds United announced that Li Yi reached an agreement with the club to sign a contract. The next four-year contract.

Li Yi's new contract with Leeds United has indeed played a role in calming people's hearts. You must know that Leeds United fans are worried that Li Yi will leave after the season. After all, Li Yi is a champion coach who has won two Champions Leagues. There are many wealthy families.

After Li Yi completed his contract renewal,

He called several important players in the team, and after this, 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, saying that it is a high-rise, but in fact there are only four people.

Li Yi, Bellucci and Salerno, and Liu Yao belong to the audience, and Liu Yao is Li Yi's sister, and will also participate in the business planning of Leeds United in the future.

The departure of Pepe and Falcao has brought Leeds 90 million euros, and the fourth place this season will give Leeds more than 40 million pounds in broadcasting fees, so plus the current discussions are under way. The cooperation contract, the net profit of Leeds United this season will exceed 150 million pounds, and even move towards 200 million pounds.

Although the club itself has a lot of expenses, the salaries of players, the salaries of club staff, and the maintenance of various equipment and stadiums.

But this is nothing compared to the income. The salary of Leeds United players is generally not high. Even the player who has completed the highest contract renewal this season is only three million pounds per year.

"Or wait another season," Salerno was as conservative as ever.

"Actually, we can also expand the Elland Road Stadium," Salerno said again.

The expansion of Elland Road Stadium will cost tens of millions of pounds, but building a new stadium requires billions of dollars.

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

Li Yi has been planning to restart the new stadium since he moved to Leeds United. Originally, Li Yi wanted to wait for a season or two, but as the team improved and the funds were abundant, Li Yi's restless heart was still restless. Living.

"I have already asked professionals to assess that it will cost about 200 million pounds to renovate the new stadium. Even if other facilities near the stadium are built, it will be about 300 million pounds. The funds we have at present are enough to start the new stadium construction plan." According to Leeds United's current The funds to start the new stadium plan are more than enough. After all, it is impossible to get the funds in one step, and it only takes one more season for Leeds United to collect all the funds. Besides, the current Leeds United is not what it used to be, it is completely possible. Take a loan from the bank, or Li Yi will sell some of his shares.

"Actually, our main issue now is whether to renovate or push it to full reconstruction." In fact, Leeds United had negotiated with the city government before, and now Leeds United wants to restart the process and go back to the other side. Compared with the city government, the green light will be given, after all Leeds United has helped the whole city.

"Renovate it, after all, the original stadium itself is very big, and it is not dilapidated." The reason why Leeds United relocated was because it was a nearly ready-made stadium. Unfortunately, all this was stranded because of the bankruptcy of Leeds United.

"It's better to renovate. If it's all demolished and rebuilt, it will take almost twice as long." The construction of a new stadium takes about four years, such as the Arsenal Emirates Stadium, but if it is renovated on the original basis, it will take time. It can be reduced by half.

Therefore, if it is renovated, it is estimated that it can be moved into the new stadium in 10 years, but if it is pushed to rebuild, it is estimated to wait until the summer of 12 years.

Besides, pushing to rebuild not only wastes time, but also costs more money, which must be taken into account, so Li Yi did not insist on pushing to rebuild.

"So it's settled?" In fact, the meeting didn't last long. After all, several of them just made a decision, and the next thing is the real busy time.

For example, to meet designers and find construction companies, of course, there is also a major premise, that is, first go to the city government to get the right to use the new stadium.

The new stadium is not purchased, but leased, but the term is very long. The original Leeds United was leased for 100 years, but Li Yi doubled it and directly became 200 years.

Originally, the government was still a little worried. After all, the lessons from the past were vivid in our minds, but with the release of Leeds United's financial statements, the government immediately gave the green light, and Leeds United's series of big moves naturally could not be concealed from the eyes of those who care.
