Ryo stared in disbelief. His performance had propelled him to the upper echelons of football’s financial world. The magnitude of his market value shocked him. While the numbers were impressive, Ryo’s mind was already set on a new goal. The prospect of surpassing the Russian prodigy, Dmitri Volkov, who had long held the title of the most sought-after young footballer, now loomed large in his mind.

Volkov was an exceptional talent, renowned for his remarkable skill and achievements. However, Ryo was determined not to just be a star, but the best.

The journey ahead was long and filled with challenges, but Ryo was more motivated than ever. His focus was not solely on his market value but on becoming the best player he could be. The pursuit of greatness was not just about statistics and comparisons; it was about the relentless drive to excel, the joy of the game, and the impact he could make on the sport.

As he looked ahead, Ryo was determined to continue his ascent, with the goal of surpassing even the most celebrated prodigies in football. The road to greatness was just beginning, and Ryo Kazuki was ready to take on the challenge.
