Don't believe everything you read in tweets, newspapers etc.
The transfer business is a game of hit, misses, decoys, distractions, threats, counter threats, deceptions, test of willpower, etc.
E.g Real wants De Gea, United wants to keep De Gea; United wants Morata, Real wants Mbappe and still wants De Gea; Ronaldo wants more money and attention, so he throws himself in the game with the tax decoy; Real wonders about making a killing from Ronaldo and Morata so they hike prices; Meanwhile Monaco stalls waiting for that extra 50 million a desperate Real may add to the fee for Mbappe; over in Germany, Lewansowski wants more money so he raises a storm - let the biddings begin; James is waiting, Andersen is keen; Darmien does not mind moving to Italy, Semido does not mind going to England, Sanchez wants more trophies, Pep's ego has been bruised so he is desperate to buy every attacker available e.g. Sanchez; Lukaku is desperate to move, Everton is desperate for a hundred million bucks; Torino knows everyone has gone crazy and Bellotti is their ticket to the next level so they hold out; Conte knows Abrahimovich is never satisfied with the league title so he is edgy about the pace of transfer moves etc.
It's like one blockbuster movie with many crazy sub plots. You know it will end but you never really know how. Too many players with major interests: the agents, the journalists, the club owners, the managers, the CEOs and football directors, the scouts, the players, the WAGS, the bookies, the FA officials, FIFA, even the tax authorities these days.
