1.5 million Euros for a 5-month loan, equal to 300,000 per month, not to mention the salary provided for Fobei, which means spending nearly 100,000 Euros a week on a benchwarmer.

This business deal is simply a complete loss.

Under such circumstances, the newly appointed Juan de Ramos began looking for new options in Castilla, hoping to find another Chen Zhong.

However, Calderon had already emptied Castilla once before.

He could only focus his attention on Shao Luyi, who had joined less than two years ago.

Although, according to the rules, because it’s been less than two years since his joining Real Madrid, he must occupy a formal spot and also has limited appearances, Ramos still decided to include him in his list.

The reason is simple, this 21-year-old, 1.93 meters tall player is good at aerial duels and has decent foot skills, and is even dubbed as the "new Ibrahimovic" in Castilla.

Plus, with Huntelaar, the "winter window king" unable to register, players like Shao Luyi are very likely to become key forces for Real Madrid.

So he promptly came to Spain.

During his two-year stint in Castilla, the striking partnership with Bueno showed its power, accounting for 70% of B team’s goals.

Shao Luyi quickly integrated into the Real Madrid Youth Team, many people evaluated Shao Luyi this way.

"If you just look at his big frame, you would never imagine him to run so fast."

And speed also became one of the important reasons Ramos chose Shao Luyi, because Huntelaar, the "winter window king
