The player’s worth was originally around fifteen million South Federation currency. Finn Lewis directly doubled it. Of course, the quotations and information that Lewis provided weren’t arbitrary, they were all sorted out by Olivia Thatcher. The data included the physical strength analysis of the dazzling stars based on their game records and relevant technical analysis, which then led to optimized conclusions.

Barring a few of the top players, she chose the most suitable ones. Of course, these suitable stars themselves are also top football athletes already. Their worth wouldn’t be low. Even though they aren’t the most expensive ones in their positions, there are certainly no “lucky finds” either.

Since Olivia could only analyze players’ performance through game records, she couldn’t find any talented newcomers. But even if she did, Lewis might not be interested. After all, since he has already bought the team, what’s the point of buying stars now?

The asking prices Lewis gave out almost covered all five major leagues, and all top players from diverse teams. The prices Lewis offered were typically more than one-third of their original worth. Among the 28 stars, the average price was about 60 million in federal currency. The combined price of these stars goes to around 16.8 billion Federation coins.

Ever since it became known that Lewis had purchased Atletico Madrid, the club’s gates were almost blocked by reporters. The team’s players all faced the same worries as their manager, Simoní Howard, namely, the team now had money and was about to make extensive purchases. If so, they all wondered where they would end up. Fortunately, Lewis’s pay raise policy reassured the players who were worried they might be immediately sold off.

Wouldn’t it be fair to give them a raise? Atletico Madrid has not many star players and most salaries aren’t high either, which cannot be compared to Real Madrid’s salary structure. However, Lewis’s series of wild offers have ignited all the reporters standing outside of Atletico Madrid’s headquarters! This couldn’t be… was he planning to buy all the star players?

The problem is, the outrageous prices that Finn Lewis is offering have put all club coaches on edge. Because it’s not up to the coaches to decide if they should sell their players. Moreover, not every club is financially healthy. Even if it’s a wealthy club, their financial situation isn’t necessarily stable. Here lies the problem: Finn Lewis directly doubled the price for those who are worth about ten to twenty million. Would you sell or not?

“I can’t use words to describe this madness anymore! All I can say is… the fans of Atletico Madrid are in for a treat. Can you imagine the prosperity your club will have? Also, I believe Coach Howard must be the luckiest man in the world right now. Can you imagine what it means to have a transfer budget of more than 17 billion federation coins? The market value of Madrid is only 300 million South Federation currency, and this is already a high estimate! A transfer fund of 17 billion federation coins…”

Atletico-centric newspapers in Madrid reported this way. This kind of report echoed what all Atletico Madrid fans wanted to say. Atletico fans are numerous, second only to Real Madrid in the Sperian kingdom, in terms of the fandom. Be it seasonal ticket sales or other aspects, even Barza can’t compare to Atletico!

Although Atletico’s performance has indeed been uncompetitive for a long time, Atletico’s large fan base is always there. But for these fans, it seems like everything has changed overnight. The entire team was acquired by a man from the Flame Nation within **! However, this did not matter! Most importantly, before they could react to the news, the media reported that the man who bought the team was the richest man in the world! What does the world’s richest man mean?

Although the current global tycoon ranking does not list Finn Lewis’s specific worth, the news that has been buzzing around the world in recent days is widely known. He has a net worth of over 120 billion federation coins. What does that mean? It means that Finn Lewis has so much money that he can spend as much as he wants without worrying about running out of money!

Well, as these fans were happily contemplating whether Atletico Madrid would no longer be short of money, and whether big stars would join their team, their joy had just begun. Then, the news broke that the new club owner had fully paid off Atletico Madrid’s 500 million South Federation currency debt all at once! Hearing this news, these Atletico fans were somewhat puzzled, wondering how to react to this new boss. This news, in particular, shook the fans’ hearts.

Holy cow, although Atletico has become a club owned by a man from the Flame Nation, one cannot deny the financial power of this new boss… It is impressively strong! Five hundred million South Federation currency, it has been paid off immediately, without even blinking an eye.

Just as they were looking forward to changes in the club during the winter break, a new piece of news came out explosively. Atletico Madrid offered Barza two hundred million South Federation currency to buy Maxwell Messi! Two hundred million South Federation currency! It’s almost equivalent to the value of the entire Atletico Madrid club! They want to buy Messi! When this news came out, all Atletico fans went dizzy. This…This… Isn’t it too luxurious?

It is not strange for Atletico fans to think this way, because they had already become used to tough days. The club had a severe debt of up to 500 million South Federation currency, almost the same as Real Madrid. But can Atletico’s income be compared to Real Madrid’s? The annual revenue is only 1.2 billion South Federation currency, and this 1.2 billion South Federation currency still had to be distributed to all the soccer stars, stadium improvements, etc., which took away over seventy percent of their income.

The remaining few tens of millions of South Federation currency could not all be converted into transfer fees. It would be good to have a transfer fee of thirty or forty million South Federation currency each year. Two hundred million South Federation currency, that’s higher than Atletico’s total income of the previous year.

They were already used to this kind of life, and the sudden appearance of 200 million South Federation currency to buy a star, that’s… It gives all the fans a feeling of disbelief. This feeling is too unreal, too incredible, and although it’s just an offer, an offer indicates money!

No matter whether a club changes its bosses or coaches, fans would always come forward, either to welcome, curse or ward off evil spirits, anyway, all kinds of reactions can occur. But Finn Lewis bought Atletico at a very fast pace, and his actions were even faster. First, he repaid a loan of 500 million South Federation currency on the second day. Then, he secured the ownership of Elias from Real Madrid.

On the third day, Atletico made an offer for Messi to Barza This chain of events happened so fast that the fans didn’t have time to respond, then they were hit by a series of shocking news that left them dizzy and completely uncertain of what to do next!

On the fourth day, Atletico Madrid offered Real Madrid 160 million South Federation currency to buy Cristiano Ronaldo, 70 million South Federation currency to buy George Bell, and 50 million South Federation currency to buy Isco… Almost all of Real Madrid’s first-half strengths were sent a quote, and this was just the beginning. Quotes were then sent directly to other big clubs like Bayern, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Juventus, Manchester City, etc, all the prices were so astonishing that even the Atletico fans were nervously watching.
