Caicedo was also identified by Man Utd but felt the deal was too ‘complex’ - with many parties claiming a share in Moises.
So individuals who can navigate it all and get deals done are the difference. Anyone can identify South American internationals 🤷🏻♂️
Disagree - South American transfers have been built on a long period of work and trust with local agencies and contacts driven by Sam who learnt Spanish and spent long periods in the region.
Being able to navigate complex deals and understanding ownership models etc of players will take a long...
Isn’t the difference here though that Sam was doing these South American deals for a long time, went as far as learning Spanish and presumably built up relationships with key people in that market which is how we’ve been successful doing deals over much bigger clubs ?
