Transfer politics is one of the most exciting things in the world football. The summer has come to an end and it means we can have some discussions concluding the recent transfers. Some of them were out of logic or difficult to understand. Here is top 5 of the most incomprehensible transfers of this summer.
Kepa
From Athletic Bilbao to Chelsea
Spanish goalkeeper's transfer was discussed everywhere. Now he is the most expensive goalkeeper in the world. And he cracked Alisson ’s record (he left Roma for Liverpool for 63 million euro). Chelsea paid 80 million euro for Kepa. Why is he so expensive? It's just the compensation that was written in his contract. Why is he? Chelsea had to find a nice variant because of Courtois's leaving. Kepa is young and prosperous. The only thing that looks surprising is the price of this transfer. Kepa wouldn’t appear in this list if Chelsea hadn’t paid such huge amount for the goalkeeper who played just 1 match for the Spanish national team. Kepa is a pig in a poke
Thibaut Courtois
From Chelsea to Real
Courtois appeared in this list just because of the strange situation that happened during his transfer. After the World Cup 2018 he wasn’t hurry to come back to London and continue training with Chelsea. Moreover he boycotted them and refused to get back to training unless Londoners let him go to the team he always dreamed about - Real Madrid. In the end he paid a fee to Chelsea and transferred to Real where he spent just one match and most of his time spends warming to bench.
Clément Langle
From Seville to Barcelona
The French footballer commented on his transer this way:
"I couldn’t refuse Barcelona. At least now I will get rid of Messi's humiliation twice a year. "
But taking into consideration the Catalan club players (like Pique and Umtiti playing at the same position with Langle), it is unlikely that the player will be able to show any fantastic results.
Malcolm
From Roma to Barcelona
The most scandalous transfer of this summer. Roma agreed with Bordeaux up to the smallest details in almost everything, but then suddenly Barcelona appeared and signed Malcolm in a couple of days. A very muddy story where everyone behaved not well. Malcolm polishes Barcelona’s bench now although he could be a key player in Roma .
Jean-Michael Seri
From Nice to Fulham
Last summer Seri was nervous because he didn’t manage to transfer to Barcelona. As it often happens the team simply raised the price and this made the player very angry. The footballer has repeatedly stated that he would like to play for Barcelona, Juventus, PSG, Arsenal, Borussia, Liverpool. But sometimes it happens that not all wishes come true and as a result Seri transferred to English Fulham. The question is: Did Seri sacrifice his ambitions or simply did not have any suggestions?
Who would you add to this list? What transfer looks strange up to you?
