What was the meaning of his sudden departure? Was it related to what he just said? Florentino was profoundly puzzled, unable to connect the dots despite Finn Lewis' seeming implication that he wanted Elias sold and not remain with Real Madrid. However, the specific reason as to why he didn't want Elias to stay with Real Madrid was beyond Florentino's understanding. Could it be possible that Finn was a Real Madrid fan?
Regardless of the reasons, Florentino had decided to consider alternatives for Elias's position. Although the reasoning was unclear, since Finn had been so adamant about it and even willing to pay to get Elias off the team, it seemed Elias was destined to leave Real Madrid. After all, Florentino could not ignore the profit of 50 million South Federation currency.
