The perfect midfield: It starts with never passing the ball to Ronaldo.

News with explosive content always spreads very quickly, and the Porto prodigy quickly became a sensation online.

- [Indeed, the ceiling for debuts has changed. One played for Manchester United against Fenerbahce, and the other played for Porto against Paris Saint-Germain. I think Mario's debut was more impressive!]

- [+1 to the comment above, this is definitely a more impressive upset, Paris Saint-Germain's player value far surpasses Porto's!]

- [Brothers, this is the true value of Ronaldo's certification! My brother Ronaldo finally has a helper in the national team!]

[With a release clause of only 500 million, Mourinho should just take him to Real Madrid as a substitute surprise player!]

- [Moutinho is such a great older brother! That free-kick combination was so well-executed! Mario has a bright future ahead!]

- [I watched this match. PSG's defense was mainly focused on James Rodriguez; the kids were just picking up scraps!]

- [Holy crap! An 18-year-old scores a hat-trick in his Champions League debut, beating PSG? Is this reality or a football manager game?]

- [Just lucky. Paris' defense wasn't taking them seriously. They'll get a taste of Zlatan's magic at the Parc des Princes!]

"Exactly, he was completely ineffective defensively in the few minutes he was on the field, except for three lucky shots. 500 million? I think anyone who buys that is getting ripped off!"

- [It's just eating dumplings during the Lunar New Year; it's ultimately just scraps that Sporting Lisbon doesn't want. Let's wait and see how this goes after the season ends.]

- [The Portuguese league match against a newly promoted team is meaningless, and now you're still making excuses after scoring a hat-trick in the Champions League? You're so stubborn!]

Frequent interactions among netizens further fueled the hype.

#First Champions League goal crushes a €100 million defense

The hashtag #€500 million hat trick swept Twitter and Instagram.

Mendes' social media was also affected, with his comment section flooded with messages from fans of various teams.

[500 million euros, bring Mario to Team XX!]

Now! Immediately! Right now!

The offline fans reacted quickly. That night, in a football bar in Porto, a giant projection played Mario's hat-trick on a loop, and talented fans even composed their own cheering songs for the prodigy.

Member stores saw long queues overnight, and the No. 22 jersey, which had just been put on the shelves a few days ago, instantly became a hot commodity, with some eager fans even paying extra to buy it.

Sporting CP is in a bad situation. Their youth training base was vandalized with graffiti by angry fans in the early hours of the morning, who criticized it as a blind production line!

The most die-hard fans also vented their anger on Mario, wanting to teach the traitor a lesson at the Alvalade Stadium!

The instigator, Mario, was enjoying a winner's night arranged by his agency with Ines and her family.

With no use for their newly purchased BMW sports car, the group took a ride in a Mercedes-Benz van provided by Mendes to a private restaurant.

"José, you're famous! Look at these clubs' offers!" The agent gave Mario a big hug.

The storm brought by the Champions League hat-trick was indeed fierce!

Arsenal offered a five-year contract with a weekly wage of £4 and a signing bonus of €450 million.

These days, Wenger isn't the only one who likes to use young, cute boys; Chelsea followed suit with a €600 million signing bonus plus a €5 weekly wage.

Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Real Madrid have all gotten involved, with the mere €500 million release clause proving very attractive to these top clubs.

Paying a higher signing fee could bring back a superstar, and the salary offered wouldn't affect the team's balance.

For top clubs with deep pockets, this is an absolutely lucrative business.

Moreover, judging from the players' performance on the field, this lottery ticket is almost guaranteed to be a sure thing!

Ines' eyes sparkled wildly as she looked at the contracts—Real Madrid was among them!

Spain's Galácticos, how great it would be if the Portuguese went to work for their neighbor on the Iberian Peninsula.

The weather was pleasant, and the environment was familiar.

More importantly, the Bernabéu stadium has been exposed!!

Playing under Mourinho and competing against Cristiano Ronaldo!!!

How much of Elena's popularity is thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo?!

Ines, who was fantasizing about reaching the pinnacle of her life, tightened her legs, and her face inevitably flushed slightly.

The father, mother, and sister did not show much emotion; they did not want their opinions to influence Mario's decision.

Only the person involved can decide which path to take.

The eighteen-year-old boy silently flipped through the quotation contract in front of him. Looking at the number ending with six zeros, Mario successfully felt Rabiot's joy.

This French midfielder, who transferred twice on a free transfer during his prime, earned a high salary thanks to the convenience of not needing a transfer fee, and each time he signed a contract, he also received a substantial signing bonus as a reward.

Similarly, Super Mario's current release clause of 500 million is practically equivalent to a free transfer for top clubs.

While they cannot offer high salaries, they are very generous when it comes to signing bonuses.

"What did Porto say? Do they have a matching contract?" Mario wasn't blinded by his perfect performance tonight.

With a perfect midfield system, he has unlimited potential, but all of this requires points to unlock new templates.

To gain points, you not only need to win the championship, but also need to have enough playing time.

At the same time, most of his offensive attributes are only above average, and he also has two major weaknesses: strength and stamina.

Joining the Premier League, La Liga, or Bundesliga doesn't necessarily guarantee continued outstanding performances.

"Porto can only offer you a weekly wage of 400 euros and a signing bonus of 4 million euros, but they promise to develop you as the core of the team," Mendes said casually, swirling the wine in his glass.

Looking at the young man and his loved ones in front of him, Mendes recalled that summer of 2000 and his past self.

Having just offended Figo's agent, Vega, his career is in dire straits.

A woman named Aveiro offered her son, Cristiano, as a highly promising prospect.

How I started negotiations with Manchester United in 2003.

Huge commissions, generous salaries, and excessive transfer fees were not the key factors in Ronaldo's transfer.

Manchester United's offer of a 50% appearance rate was the final answer to the Portuguese talent's move to Old Trafford.

Hopefully, this young man won't have any dreams of becoming a prince or a prince, and won't make decisions that negatively impact his career development.

"What about the contract term and the penalty for breach of contract?"

"Four years, 60 million euros!"

"Okay, I choose to stay in Porto." Mario nodded as he enjoyed his meal.

The goal of becoming famous early has already been achieved, but to avoid the pitfalls of wasting one's potential, it's better to choose the Portuguese league as a stepping stone for further development.

Winning the Portuguese league title grants one point.

They also have some points if they make it to the Champions League knockout stage.

Unlocking a new template to join one of the top five leagues and starting a new journey as a key player is the only way to maximize profits.

Now, following my uncle, the coach, and enjoying the status of a Porto prince isn't bad either.

"Good choice, Mario. The €6000 million release clause isn't the limit for you. Maybe I'll get a hefty commission in two years."

"Thank you for your kind words~"

After raising their glasses in celebration, Mario focused his attention on the perfect midfield system, wanting to confirm the points acquisition conditions once again.

Huh?

The system has two new messages.
