Huh anyone have a tldr? Why are they beefing with Leicester?
Apparently, they’ve allegedly failed to pay Leicester for the transfer of a player for whom they agreed a deal. I can’t say I’m shocked.
I am shocked. Why wouldn’t they just pay? They have infinite money anyway.
True. It’s like they entered the cheat code for unlimited transfer budgets.
And the amount is allegedly 460k euros plus interest or 390k pounds… they allegedly pay Ronaldo 173 million pounds a year.
It’s absurd
Probably used to flying under the radar of FIFA but all these incoming player transfers have shone a light on their incompetence
