Professional Raiola, A Ripple in the European Football Transfer Market!

"Su!"

"You really are a child full of surprises!"

"I know you already paid to terminate your contract with Boca Juniors!"

"That's excellent news!"

"Do you know what you represent now?"

"You're like a stock!"

"My dear, the kind of stock that can skyrocket countless times overnight!"

"And this stock has one advantage no one else can match—you have 100% ownership of yourself!"

"Kid, you own all of your own rights. That's incredibly important!"

Mino Raiola seemed to grow more excited the more he spoke.

But in his previous life, Su Bai had only been an ordinary football fan. He barely understood anything about football transfers, agents, and all that.

He had a hard time understanding Raiola's professional terminology.

Sure enough!

Seeing Su Bai's blank expression, Raiola began explaining.

"Alright, Su, let's start from the beginning!"

"First, ownership. It's fairly easy to understand from the literal meaning. It refers to the economic rights an individual or organization holds over a player!"

"There are mainly three categories. The first is the most common form of ownership: one club owns all of a player's rights. This prevents any potential transfer disagreements or disputes. The second is co-ownership, where two clubs each own 50% of the player's rights. As for which club the player plays for—in other words, which club he is registered under—that is decided through negotiations between the two clubs. The third is what's called 'third-party ownership.' In Argentina, most cases fall under third-party ownership. That third party refers to agents, sports management agencies, or other investors."

Raiola patiently explained a whole load of basic theory to Su Bai!

Alright, despite being fat, the guy's professional knowledge really was impeccable.

"Alright, Su, this is what I'm thinking right now!"

"Of course, it still depends on what you want!"

"If you're willing, you can leave your transfer to me!"

After saying that, Raiola smiled and looked at Su Bai.

"Mr. Mino!"

Su Bai was not the type to beat around the bush.

He reached out and shook Raiola's hand.

Rather than hanging himself on one tree and following Hanks to Tottenham Hotspur with no guarantees whatsoever, he might as well let Raiola work his magic.

"Su, we can discuss the contract between us after I secure this transfer! Of course, I'll take an 8% commission fee!"

"Alright!"

Su Bai really did not care much about money now.

Although his father's business was not particularly large, there would be no problem with him living comfortably for the rest of his life.

Besides, Raiola's demand for an 8% cut was perfectly reasonable.

More importantly, he was now a free agent. Any so-called transfer fee would actually be his own signing bonus.

If he followed Hanks, he would not get a single cent. But if he let Raiola handle things, he believed the figure definitely would not be small.

Either way, it was a win-win situation.

Klopp boarded a flight to Argentina.

His assistant could not understand why his head coach cared so much about such a young player.

Borussia Dortmund had already sent someone to make contact, so why did Klopp still need to go personally?

That kid had only played two matches in the Argentine top division. Who could say what his form would be like afterward?

"Boss, is that kid really that freakish?"

Assistant Helder asked as he watched Klopp still viewing Su Bai's match footage on his phone.

"This guy's physical attributes are outstanding. Do you know who I can see in him?"

"Adriano!"

"The king of Inter Milan!"

"That kind of physicality and power on the ball—and most importantly, that cutting inside! Borussia Dortmund has to get him!"

"Absolutely!"

And so, the flight took off.

Meanwhile, in Buenos Aires!

After obtaining Su Bai's authorization.

Mino Raiola began pulling his tricks.

With his assistant's help, he took several photos with Su Bai.

Raiola then contacted his journalist friends and released all the photos!

<The vampire Raiola signs Boca Juniors' super genius—free-agent prodigy seeks a new club?>

<Raiola buys out Chinese-descended prodigy for €200,000—Inter Milan's second-generation king arrives in Serie A?>

<A talent that terrifies Europe—Raiola adds another fierce weapon to his stable!>

For a time, Raiola's news flooded the entire football world.

The front pages of every football newspaper were filled with photos of Raiola and Su Bai.

Everyone in Europe knew just how sharp Raiola's eye was.

As Raiola's news exploded, Su Bai, who had signed with him, naturally became famous as well.

His unstoppable thunderous goals and unbelievable physical collisions immediately caught the interest of countless clubs.

Sitting in his hotel room, Raiola answered calls with a smile.

"Oh, my dear Simeone!"

"Haha, I'm in your homeland right now!"

"This really is a beautiful place. Beautiful places always bring good luck!"

"Haha, you're interested in that Chinese-descended kid too?"

"Atletico Madrid would indeed be a great fit! That kid's style of play matches yours perfectly!"

"He admires you very much too. He says you're Argentina's pride!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Su really likes Atletico Madrid!"

"Ah, but it's a bit unfortunate. Real Madrid has already contacted me. They'll pay a large signing bonus to sign Su first, then loan him out!"

"You don't believe me? Want me to send you the call records? Really, Diego, Real Madrid is jealous that Barcelona has Messi. A youngster with talent equal to Messi's—do you really think Real Madrid would begrudge an €8 million signing bonus?"

"Oh! Damn it, how did I let the price slip out?"

"That's a trade secret!"

"Fine, Diego, you have to promise not to tell anyone. We're best friends, after all!"

Raiola was very busy.

Ever since he released the photos of himself and Su Bai, he had received countless calls asking about Su Bai.

Most of them were asking whether Su Bai could join for free.

Especially Wenger.

That guy had actually said he could give Su Bai a starting spot!

That made Raiola happy for quite a while, but even when Wenger hung up, he never mentioned anything about a signing bonus.

That was when Raiola realized the old man was trying to get something for nothing.

Still, Raiola rather believed Wenger's claim about offering a starting spot.

If nothing else, few could match Wenger when it came to giving young players opportunities.

As for his conversations with Simeone and the others, he had simply been making it all up.

Although Simeone knew he was making it up, it at least drove the asking price up immediately.

In short, Raiola intended to make Su Bai's first transfer deal as perfect as possible.

As for making money, he had not thought too much about it.

Su Bai was only a promising prospect right now. Even if Raiola made no money from this deal, it would still be worthwhile—as long as Su Bai established himself in one of the top five leagues.

Then, with Mino Raiola's influence, wouldn't it be easy for him to join a giant club for an astronomical transfer fee?

And by then, wouldn't making money be easy?
