European transfer market: False silence!

(Baonghean.vn) - The 2017 summer transfer market is quite quiet as no 'blockbuster' deals have been activated. Perhaps the 'big guys' are fed up with the costly race?

After the first “shots” of Man City and AC Milan, the player transfer market suddenly became strangely quiet. A series of high-profile deals that were rumored by the press would quickly come to an end, are still nothing more than speculation.

Man Utd, Barcelona, ​​Juventus, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Arsenal all took turns creating a smokescreen and then disappearing. There are no longer quick deals like: Man City buying Bernardo Silva, Ederson or AC Milan recruiting Franck Kessie, Musacchio, Ricardo Rodriguez.

It seems that the "big guys" are carefully probing with familiar tricks to make the most accurate decision, at least in terms of money. Liverpool was threatened with a lawsuit by Southampton when they "went behind the scenes" with center-back Van Dijk without the permission of the team nicknamed - The Saints.

With no other choice, the Anfield team had to publicly apologize to Southampton and decided to abandon the deal with the Dutch defender. Barcelona is also falling into a similar situation after Santos' accusations about the case of player Lucas Lima.

This proves that the giants of European football are quietly approaching their desired targets. With these “new but old” tricks, they will approach the players they want to buy, flirt and make “verbal agreements”, and at the same time incite and instruct the players to go on strike and betray their home team.

This method is often very effective, forcing the partner to grit their teeth and accept the deal. Real Madrid has been successful in getting Bale and Modric from Tottenham, and Barcelona has recruited Fabregas... thanks to this "shady" method.

Therefore, no one was surprised when midfielder Marco Verratti insisted on leaving PSG to move to Camp Nou, after having unofficial meetings with people related to Barcelona. This made the French team extremely angry and declared to keep the Italian player until the end.

Despite such a tough attitude, the possibility that the team at the “Prince’s Park” will have to watch Marco Verratti pack his bags and go to Catalonia is almost inevitable. And of course, there will be many more cases like Marco Verratti in the near future.

That said, the silence of the European player transfer market is just an illusion. The teams are still quietly carrying out plans that involve no shortage of lies and foul play... in order to achieve their goals.

The summer market will not officially open until July 1st, but at this time many transactions have been basically completed in silence, like lava underground, not knowing when a volcano will erupt.
