Appreciate the heads up...like yourself I would feel miffed as well given that a star player would be publicly announcing their next move in the middle of a title chase, or CL place fight, or even a relegation battle...I can understand the club wanting to know as early as possible about someone leaving, especially a world class talent, but I don't see the value in going public with the details while the team is still fighting for something...to each their own I guess, learn something new every day...Thats not how it works over here in Germany. Players and coaches often agree deals with new clubs in advance (usually transfers to Bayern) all very publicly and open. It amazes me that the fans here put up with it tbh. I’d be well miffed if our star player announced his next club midway though the season … but its normal here.
In that case, what's the damn holdup?...announce it already!!, LOL...
