Beginning of a Storm

The meeting room was dimly lit, the only source of illumination coming from the large screen at the front displaying a list of names. 

Several high-ranking officials sat around a polished wooden table, deep in discussion as the summer transfer window loomed closer.

"We need reinforcements on the wings. Our depth isn't good enough if we're going to challenge next season," one of the senior members said, tapping his pen against the table. 

"We've had our scouts monitoring a few names, but none of them quite fit the profile we need."

"What about the South American lad? The one playing in Portugal?" another voice asked.

A younger executive shook his head. "Talented, but raw. He'd need a season to adapt, and that's not a luxury we have.

We need immediate quality especially with all that's going on with that winger."
