Not sure we were ever in the race. Any top tier transfers plays out the same way for us. Linked all summer, then they sign for Barca, Real or even PSG.
We're good at getting the transfer fee and wages up though.
Certainly we got our first Monaco business done early and under the radar so our relationship with them is good and perhaps we had no intention to buy, same with Messi. Suppose it makes our buying team look top division though whilst helping Monaco to get top dollar.
