Chapter 377: 371: Terrified – Part 3

The next morning, Jose was waiting at the entrance of the Real Madrid club earlier than anyone else, even beating the players who came for training. When the manager of Real Madrid saw him, he looked unwell. Since they’re dire rivals in the same city, they were familiar to each other. On sight of Jose, the manager of Real Madrid inquired brusquely, “What are you here for?”

“I’m here to meet Florentino!” Jose replied defiantly. He chose to address him by his first name instead of adding the polite “Mr.”

“What do you want?” The manager of Real Madrid naturally wouldn’t quibble over the matter, as the issues between the two clubs are well-known.

“Of course, it’s related to the contract issue between us.” Jose chuckled deviously.

Realizing the matter concerned the ongoing contract issue, the manager had no choice but to take Jose to meet Florentino. Florentino had a notable habit: he was as punctual in his appearances as many of the players. Hence, it was easy for Jose to find him in the club. However, upon seeing Jose, Florentino’s face soured, as a terrible idea popped into his mind.

“Why are you here?” Florentino asked directly.

“Here’s 70 million South Federation currency! We’ve come to obtain Elias’ contract!” Without wasting any time, Jose, in the manner Finn Lewis had instructed him, slapped a cheque on Florentino’s desk. As he stared at the cheque in front of him, Florentino became visibly distressed, realizing that he might have misjudged the situation.

“Where the hell did your club get 70 million South Federation currency?” Florentino inquired in disbelief, still harboring a glimmer of hope.

“Haha, we have a new club owner, the wealthiest man in the world. Have you ever heard of Mr. Finn Lewis? So, we might not be that poor anymore.” Jose chuckled and replied quickly.

Florentino was stunned. Even though he was mentally prepared, hearing this confirmation directly from Jose gave him a headache. Haven’t people been talking about how he was a fan of Real Madrid yesterday? A Real Madrid fan had bought their rival club, and from the looks of it, he seemed ready to pay off the debt, increase the transfer fee, and buy players?

Regardless of how unwilling Florentino felt, they had already signed a mutual contract, so he had no choice but to honor it. Once he secured all the agreements, Jose walked out of Real Madrid club with pride. Regarding the players, it was still a waiting game. Since it was neither the winter break nor the summer transfer window, the players would have to wait until the winter hiatus to join Atletico Madrid.

Jose was excited about how pleased the club’s head coach would be when he heard about this. However, he had no idea that Finn Lewis’ acquisition of Elias was not intended to field him. What’s the most terrifying thing for a footballer? Not being able to play football ever again. That’s precisely the predicament Elias found himself in. Although his salary for the next four years was secured, there would be absolutely no other income if he doesn’t get to play any matches in that period.

He would definitely lose out on his endorsements. Why would any company choose a player who doesn’t get to play for their endorsements? With no chance of making appearances on the field, all he could do was draw his fixed salary in South Federation currency of 7 million, but for these players, their wages form just a portion of their earnings, and definitely not the main component of their income.

Upon returning to Atletico Madrid Club, the majority of players were not familiar with who Finn Lewis was. But anyone who was accompanied by the club’s middle-aged president, Renzo, could hardly be an ordinary person, right?

When Finn Lewis heard from Jose that the contract with Elias was in place, his spirits lifted. Now that the contract was in their possession, there was no need for Finn to hold back any longer. He directly instructed, “Jose, your task now is to fetch the head coach.”

“Sure.” Jose immediately scampered off in delight. Head Coach Simoní Howard was already on the training field. On receiving Jose’s message and more so, when Jose informed him that the new owner of the club wanted to see him, Simoní Howard was stunned. Did the club change owners? If there was a change in owner, that could mean a change in the structure of the club. Simoní Howard had certain coaching skills, but his record was not that impressive.

So, he was unsure about the intentions of the incoming club owner. On the other hand, Jose didn’t spread any rumors. Hoy de macaroni, with his money, he could hire any world-renowned coach. Whether or not he would do that, Jose wasn’t sure, so he made sure not to say too much.

Both of them entered the office where Finn was conversing with Renzo. Even though Renzo didn’t have any duties to fulfill anymore and had already bid farewell to the club, he just couldn’t leave at this moment considering that Finn was there. No kidding, the world’s richest man was present. If he wasn’t going to build connections at this point, then when? The most important thing was that his business was also related to the internet business, so they had many commonalities to discuss.

If Finn was treated as a millionaire, then Renzo was like a beggar in comparison. Hence, Renzo obviously wanted to seize this opportunity to familiarize himself with Finn.

“Hello, Mr. Simoní Howard.” As Simoní entered the room, Finn extended his hand to shake hands with him. Simoní, who was in his forties, was a well-respected coach who was capable of leading a La Liga team at this age.

“Hello, Mr. Lewis.” Jose had informed Simoní about the new owner of the club during their walk over there. However, Simoní was not that thrilled as even though the club was not prosperous earlier, he was still the coach. And now, it seemed like the club’s fortunes were going to turn around, but it wouldn’t have anything to do with him.

“Well, Mr. Simoní, I’m a straight talker. If you perform well in leading the team, I have no intention of replacing you as the coach. On top of that, I’ll provide you with a sufficient transfer budget, beyond any doubt. So, Coach Simoní, tell me, how much are you looking for in terms of a transfer fee?” Finn inquired, grinning ear to ear.

The words of Finn seemed like ambrosia to Simoní. His mood improved instantaneously. Many soccer coaches worldwide get asked several questions, but how many of them get asked by the club owner, “How much do you need for the transfer fee?”
