Yeah you're right, it's usually through agents. That way the club can say that they've had no contact with the player. Clubs contact the player first to determine whether they are open to a move before a formal bid is placed. That way the club avoids looking stupid when they place a bid and the player comes out saying they have no intention of moving to said club.

Come on Vidal, who needs a fecking holiday when you could sign for us now.
20 mill on a 29 year old? Why? Surely they should be looking at the future, rather than a quick fix at LB
To be honest you need to take into account the teams being managed. Plus LVG was also managing Holland.
He's not one over reliant on pace and he's just come off the back of the best season he's had, he's got a few years in him at least.
My mate is an Ajax fan and he said Bojan was shit last year. I think they had an option to buy him at the end of the loan as well.
Just call him Allegri
Mourinho always buys players in their prime rather then worrying about the future. Eto'o, Milito and Drogba all prime examples of this.
Wow! His reputation has really taken a tumble. Played way too much too early, never really kicked on
It's the Sun but still..
Ditto for all sugar daddy clubs. They're operating with different parameters to everyone else.
Could be one of the reasons Conte quit..
That would be a bit childish though. Clubs miss out on players all the time.
That would be weird. I thought Nastasic was doing really well for them? Still very young too.
Well, he seemed very unhappy at Juve's inability to sign anyone so far.. He felt they were far too weak to get far in the Champions League with the current squad
Apparently planning to join City's new New York team in the MLS..
Because no club does it….
More BS.. How do you justify rejecting Inter Milan and picking Hull City for Footballing reasons?
Which could mean a January loan for him at City. Even though it's city I'd love to see him even for 5 games in the EPL
Lot of debate over Bebe on twitter atm.. I'd have liked to have given him a chance in pre-season at the very least. He's coming off a very good season, and looked much more effective than our present collection of wingers albeit in the Portuguese League, but still
Assurances on first team football is probably the only thing. It would be a bad move if he went to Inter and just sat on the bench.
Side's even faster than THE machine
Definitely need to throw in a sell on clause. I can see him scoring 20+ goals for them next season.
They wouldn't have signed him to sit on the bench, part of it comes down to English players being too scared to take a chance and move abroad.. It'd help them become better footballers if they can excel in a foreign league!
Would be tempted to add a buy back clause just in case...
