Real Madrid is the team that hires the best players. The dream of every footballer is to play in this team and become a great star. But this team has signed players who have been huge failures and let down by poor performance.

The story that we are going to tell you is about a player who was hired because a fan recommended him to the president that Real Madrid had. It's not a joke, in the end this footballer was a big failure in the club and now he sells food.

This player arrived at Real Madrid in 1999, President Lorenzo Sanz hired him and became interested in this player after receiving a recommendation from a 14-year-old fan, who sent him a video of his great performances in the Colombian league. That's how curious and surprising this signing was.

We are talking about Edwin Congo. This Colombian forward signed for Madrid in the summer of 1999 for 5 million euros, although he did not play for the white team from the beginning, and was loaned to Real Valladolid for one season, to later have up to two more assignments, at Vitória from Guimarães and Toulouse. In the 2001 and 2002 season he was in the White House but he did not play a single minute. In the team where he stood out was Levante where he scored 21 goals in 112 games.

Edwin Congo has a restaurant

When the striker retired, he set up a Caribbean food restaurant in Valencia, in this place he serves his clients and tells them his stories that he lived at Real Madrid and the other teams where he played. He also studied dentistry.
