When a club has €200m left on its transfer budget in the final days of the transfer period, why shouldn't they make a higher bid when their initial €70m bid has been rejected?
The transfer deadline can be a distraction if you allow it to be.
Everything goes fast in football. You can be transferred tomorrow, as you can be in one or two years.
