In Spain, everybody is speaking about the surprising Elche FC, the Alicante club which has recently been promoted for second division and now has 10 points and trails Real Madrid by just four points after seven weeks in LaLiga. A great campaign. Before been promoted, Elche was bought by Argentinian football agent Christian Bragarnik. He also had two investors, both of whom played football.

One of the is Olympique Marseille's center-forward Darío Benedetto, a former Boca Juniors player. The other investor is non other than  New England Revolution's forward Gustavo Bou, who has had Bragarnik as his agent his whole life. Now, it seems like the player has decided to trust in him to manage his fortune.

Back in 2014, Gustavo Bou wasn't having a pleasurable moment. He was heading into free agency after a disappointing season at Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata. Just before the start of the new championship, his agent, Bragarnik, talked to Diego Cocca, Racing Club's coach, and convinced him of signing Bou. It was a life-changing moment for the Argentinian striker, who would be one of the Racing Club's best players during the next tournament, which they won.

Later on, Gustavo Bou was transferred to Liga MX's Tijuana, which is also linked to Christian Bragarnik, and later -after a short second tenure at Racing- was transferred to New England Revolution, where he has scored 14 goals in 32 games, almost one goal every two games. Now, Bou has decided to turn his life towards the financial world, and has invested in the team that has everybody in the football world astonished.
