Watching Kevin De Bruyne's interview in the dressing room alongside his teammates, Sam had a big smile on his face as he clutched the sky-blue jersey on his hand tighter, vowing to cherish it.

Like usual, Austin sat beside him.

Austin could not help but throw a glance at his teammate even as the interview slowly drew to an end. "Thank you, Sam". He muttered.

"Huh?" Sam looked at him. "For what?"

Austin smiled. "For everything," he sighed. "For deciding to play for Enyimba FC".

"Meeting you has truly changed my life".

Austin always appreciated Sam, but this time, Sam could feel that there was something else attached to it. "Hey, you ok?" He asked, concern in his voice.

Austin looked at him, tears welling in his eyes, then he chuckled. "I got a contract offer".

"What? Really?" Sam was genuinely surprised.

"Yes," Austin nodded, even more emotional now. "A contract offer from Europe, a club in one of the top 5 European leagues".
