This is a message posted on Instagram by Chepchugov, which was liked by his old team-mate Golovin and contains #chelsea...

My point wasn’t to say he’s not going Monaco. It was to say there are conflicting reports anyway. For over a week we’ve heard Chelsea and Madrid have agreed a fee for Courtois. Which may still happen but you hear a number of reports say he is gone.

 I wish Real could have gotten Patricio. Watch the Wanderers get Guedes and get Andre Silva from Milan :P

They're taking advantage of the Sporting Lisbon drama.

Sporting are just imploding it's insane. Their auditors are threatening them that they'll go broke.

Weird that they are apparently demanding crazy fees for the players that unilaterally terminated their contracts considering those players are never coming back. 

It was reported they've applied to the FIFA tribunal to get 50m euros from Wolves for Rui Patricio and might be asking for as much as 40m for Gelson Martins.

Yeah it's not really "transfer fees" in a traditional sense. They are trying to argue the players broke their contracts illegally and they are due compensation for their assets effectively.

Where is all this money coming from??? Everton has spend £100m on Sigurdsson and Richarlison lol

Moshiri.  He was half of the Red & White Holdings group (along with Alisher Usmanov) who previously (for him, Usmanov still owns his) owned a minority stake in Arsenal and who was the onus for the financially-conservative boardmembers of Arsenal going from decrying the "foreign outsider" that was Stan Kroenke to actively steering the sale of shares Kroneke's way so as to keep Usmanov and Moshiri from getting a controlling stake of the club.

What happened to Sporting to P!$$ all these players off?

Basically their club (now ex-)president sacked most of the team after they lost to Atletico Madrid in the Europa League (but then changed his mind the next morning).  Later that month 50 or so ultras broke into the training facility and physically assaulted a bunch of players, and it was rumoured that the president was involved in it, or at least incited it.

At least 9 of the clubs players, including multiple Portuguese internationals, used this as a reason to claim that Sporting had provided an unsafe workplace and the players were therefore allowed to unilaterally terminate their contracts.

Following this is president has been sacked, along with the new head coach he had picked (who had been in the job less than 10 days iirc), and the new board is trying everything it can to keep the players or at the very least get top dollar for players that don't want to be there
