Why are we seeing in transfers nowadays where clubs agree a deal with the player but haven't agreed a deal with the club?
I've noticed this a few times recently but this week Wesley Fofana has apparently agreed a contract with Chelsea but Chelsea are refusing to meet the £85m asking price. I always thought the proper way to do it was to reach out to a club, tell them you're interested in XXX, both clubs hammer out a deal and then you speak to the player?
Surely this goes down as a form of "tapping up" by Chelsea?
