The back of the chair at Chelsea continues. Now Marina Granovskaia is also leaving the club. The Russian was primarily responsible for transfer transactions, which should now be handed over to Thomas Tuchel and the new owner.
2.4 billion on transfer market: Marina Granovskaia will be the next big name on the Chelsea board to leave the club. Roman Abramovich’s former right-hand man had been a board member since 2013 and was responsible for transfer and contract negotiations. The 47-year-old has moved around 2.4 billion euros for the Blues on the transfer market in the past nine years.
Short, compact, clear
Only Juventus moved more: During this time, Granovskaia bought 62 players for 1.38 billion euros. In addition to Romelu Lukaku, who turned out to be a 115 million euro failure, the direct hits for Chelsea outweigh the “Telegraph”. Through sales and loans, she generated income of 1.03 billion euros. Only Juventus have moved more money on the transfer market since 2013 with 2.45 billion euros.
235 million for new players: The new owner of the club, Todd Boehly, and coach Thomas Tuchel are said to be increasingly responsible for transfer fortunes. The consortium around the American businessman Boehly is providing 235 million euros for new players this summer, according to unanimous reports in the Times and the Telegraph.
