Very little is said about the internal procedures of Real Madrid in terms of transfers. Florentino Pérez is the most authoritative voice of course, but evidently he does not work alone. The one who acts as sports director is José Ángel Sánchez. The CEO is joined by a very skillful scouting specialist, when it concerns the signings of young promises. Vinicius, Rodrygo, Valverde and Odegaard have something in common: the key presence of Juni Calafat.

The club management knows that they can trust Juni Calafat's football criteria with total certainty, because of the examples they can see in the team. Vini Jr, Rodrygo and Valverde are now three of the best players in the world.

If we look into the details of Vinicius Jr's case,  It's obvious that many clubs including Barcelona were also following him very closely, so every detail could have made a difference in one of the most sought-after signings in Brazil at that moment. As ESPN Brasil has revealed, Juni Calafat was absolutely key to convincing the player's entourage. When the Brazilian's entourage traveled to the Spanish capital, Vinicius's mother's suitcase was lost, thus leaving her without all her personal belongings for the visit to Spain. At that moment and without prior notice, Calafat accompanied the player's entourage to buy all the necessary clothes for her.

This trip was the first for Vinicius Jr's entourage to Spain to meet Real Madrid, but previously, Juni Calafat had visited the player, who is now one of the best in the world, and his family in Brazil up to five times. Luckily, small details made all the difference and madridistas are enjoying now the magic of Vini with the white shirt.
