However, besides Bradford City, the League Two winter transfer window also presented equally astonishing surprises, signaling that the real competition had just begun.
Crewe Alexandra, having just lost Decn Wexley, moved quickly to utilize their transfer funds. They broke their club transfer record by signing a nimble Japanese winger, Aizawa Tanaka, for a fee of £200,000. This move clearly demonstrated their ambition to remain competitive without Decn.
AFC Wimbledon, now sitting third in the league table, showed their seriousness in the promotion race. They brought in two new quality central midfielders: Robert Atkinson from Burnley's academy for £250,000, and Swansea City's talented young midfielder, Rafael Qara, for £500,000. Not stopping there, they also strengthened their attack by signing a new winger to partner Takefusa Kato.
Port Vale also didn't want to be left behind. They successfully secured the signature of South Korean wonderkid Lee Sung-in (17) for a transfer fee of £550,000, a significant investment in a potential young pyer.
Fleetwood Town, seemingly inspired by Bradford's success in maximizing young pyers, made interesting transfer moves. They recruited several talented young pyers, the most notable being a Nigerian wonderkid named Victor Okocha for a fantastic fee of £600,000. In defense, they added strength by bringing in tough defender Alfred Constantin for £300,000.
Other teams in League Two were also active in the transfer market. Barrow, for example, brought in a number of experienced senior pyers to boost team morale. Their most expensive signing was central midfielder Kevin Rice for £300,000.
However, amidst the hustle and bustle of transfers, the biggest surprise came from AFC Wimbledon. Under new ownership, they made a transfer that shook League Two and almost vioted FFP (Financial Fair Py) rules.
They managed to bring in a talented young pyer aged 15 for an astonishing fee of £2,000,000, breaking the club's transfer record and becoming the most expensive transfer ever in League Two.
This "crazy" transfer phenomenon was the first of its kind in the fourth tier of English football, where even League One clubs rarely made purchases of that value. This clearly indicated that the competition in League Two this season was far from over, even though Bradford City remained undefeated.
Reinhart, who was monitoring the transfer window developments on his tablet, muttered softly, "Hmm, so Wimbledon found him, what a shame Min Sung missed out."
He then leaned back in his chair, a memory fshing through his mind of a pyer. A "strange and very selfish" pyer who managed to lead Japan to the World Cup final for the first time, scoring a hat-trick even though his team had to acknowledge the superiority of a star-studded France.
Deep in his memory, that pyer was one of the eleven best young talents in the world, where he became one of the most expensive and best pyers in the world, yet also the unluckiest pyer because he never won any trophies throughout his career..
Then there were 8 other terrifying young pyers. The greatest defender surpassing Maldini, a central midfielder as strong as Gattuso but with the passing and vision of Pirlo, a young goalkeeper who set the most clean sheet records, the fastest wing-back in the world, and other monsters. That moment also became the era of football's revival.
However, Reinhart closed his eyes and looked back at his tablet screen.
In another part of the world, the transfer window was also filled with big surprises. Real Madrid acquired Palmeiras's 17-year-old starlet, Octavio, for €70,000,000.
Manchester City didn't want to be outdone, bringing in Dutch midfielder Van der Cruyff for £60,000,000.
Chelsea strengthened their defense by recruiting English wonderkid defender An Philips for £45,000,000.
Manchester United, struggling to improve their poor attacking performance, made a spsh by signing Curtis Hall (19), one of the eleven best young pyers in the world today, for a fantastic transfer fee of £150,000,000.
Barcelona was also active in seeking a repcement for their aging striker, and their choice fell on talented Nigerian striker Stefan Musa (24) from Atnta for €40,000,000.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was not left out of the elite transfer competition.
They spshed out €110,000,000 to acquire Oscar Hazard (18), one of the eleven best young pyers in the world who pys in midfield.
However, the most expensive transfer of this window once again involved Real Madrid. After signing Octavio, they managed to secure the signature of Michael Kaiser (17), an attacking midfielder who was also included in the ranks of the eleven best young pyers in the world.
Kaiser, the youngest pyer in that generation, was the key figure who led Tottenham Hotspur to their first-ever Premier League title and also guided them to win the Champions League. Real Madrid had to shell out €180,000,000 to acquire Kaiser, breaking the club's transfer record.
Reinhart, seeing the crazy transfer news in the world of football, muttered again while shaking his head, "Spending that much money on one of the best young pyers right now? Well, the old Reinhart might have done the same. But what about the current Reinhart? I'm more interested in changing fate by saving and developing potential stars."
He closed his tablet and added with a confident tone, "€180 million?
In a few years, the real monsters will appear and have a much greater value than that. Therefore," Reinhart, sitting in his chair, smiled.
"To face monsters, then fight them with other monsters. Duvant, Lucien, Mike, Mathias, Bakali, Vitor, Park, Eden, Decn, Owen, Harry, Ren, Chinedu, Han, Lorian... these pyers will be worth more, and I will be the one who raises these monsters."
