Silly season inför och under säsongen 2017/18 (internationell fotboll)

Neymar gick till PSG för 2,2 miljarder kronor.
Och det kan ändå "bara" bli sommarens näst största övergång.
För nu rapporterar Yahoo Sports att Manchester City är redo att möta Lionel Messis utköpsklausul på strax under 2,9 miljarder kronor.

Debunked: No, Lionel Messi is not joining Manchester City for €300m and here’s why…
Unfortunately, all of this is easy to debunk and just another example of how easily dodgy information can go viral and create fake news.

Since then, reports of Lionel Messi following City on Instagram have spread like wildfire. It’s true, Lionel Messi does follow Manchester City on Instagram. He followed Manchester City on Instagram in 2014 and may have re-followed them yesterday.

Messi also follows Chelsea on Instagram, and Thibaut Courtois. It always has the same outcome.

Watzke also added his voice to a growing rump of opinion that the transfer window should end before the season starts to stop issues such as those surrounding Dembele's future from lingering after the big kick-off.
"I am of the opinion that UEFA and the ECA (European Club Association) should jointly decide that the transfer window does not end in the season.
"It would mean we could all talk about soccer, about the season – something all fans could look forward to.
"We should all talk about football again and not have this monkey business."
