A misconception among @ChelseaFC fans is that Marina is in charge of recruiting players, but these conversations are led by the manager and the club& #39;s recruitment staff. Her main role at the club is the negotiation of these deals and she has been extremely impressive in doing so.

5. Despite being loved at Chelsea, the £60M sale of Oscar to Shanghai was well received by fans. Oscar failed to live up to potential at Chelsea, but Marina still managed to negotiate a deal that lead to a club-record sale at the time.

4. Bought for £32m, Costa remains the closest thing we& #39;ve come to replacing Drogba. But after being told by Conte that his services were no longer required, Costa sought a return to Atletico. Despite having no leverage Marina negotiated a deal worth £57M, netting a profit of £25M

3. The most bizarre signing Chelsea has made in the Abramovich era. Bought for £2.7M in 2015, Djilobodji played a total of 1minute for Chelsea before being sold for £8M to Sunderland in 2016. The fact that Chelsea earned a £5.3M net profit is a testament to her negotiating skills

2. Madrid and Hazard flirted for years before finally agreeing on a deal with 1yr left on his contract. With Hazard eligible to negotiate a free transfer in 6 months, Madrid had bargaining power. Against all odds Marina negotiated a fee of £89 million,rising to £130M with add-ons

1. Signed for £58M in 2017, Morata had 2 frustrating seasons at Chelsea. His confidence and reputation were both shattered by 2019 when Marina negotiated a deal with Atletico. A 1-and-half year loan along with a mandatory £58M fee will forever be her best achievement at Chelsea.

What are your thoughts on Marina& #39;s best negotiations? Which one deserves to be on the list?
