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'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'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's best negotiations? Which one deserves to be on the list?
