Who doesn't love a cut-price wonderkid?

Maximiliano Romero is one of FM 2017's best long-term investments. He starts with excellent statistics for a player of his inexperience, and is more than capable of immediately playing a squad role.

As time passes, Romero develops into an excellent all-round striker with elite athleticism and equally impressive technical stats. If your facilities and coaching staff are strong enough, he'll be one of the game's most sought-after strikers after a few seasons, so snap him up now to avoid disappointment.
