David De Gea's supposed transfer to Real Madrid from Manchester United seems to have come to a halt according to surfacing news on the internet.
The most awaited transfer of Manchester United's best player to Real Madrid was reported to have met a stop due to a late arrival of a document. The $29 million move has collapsed because of the said document delivery issue. However, the management of United denied the surfacing rumors about their failure to submit the necessary documents on time. Still Manchester maintains that they were observant of the submission time, and according to manchestereveningnews, United uploaded their paperwork into the "Fifa Transfer Matching System before the 11pm BST."
As a result of this blunder, both De Gea and Keylor Navas would be staying put. It was Guillem Balague, a Spanish football expert, who broke the news to expecting fans. He revealed that Spanish Football Federation had confirmed the documentation did not arrive on time and that the deal would not be going through. According to Balague, he stated that;
"The documents were received at Madrid at one minute past midnight... Everyone was waiting in Real Madrid but the documents signed by Keylor Navas and Real Madrid did not arrive back on time from Manchester United."
Both fans and the Spanish media are fuming and claiming that this so-called mistake is form of revenge for Sergio Ramos as to the report of 90min. With the turn of events, experts cannot but compare the situation to what had happened two years ago, pertaining to Fabio Coentrao's proposed transfer to Manchester United in 2013, which accordingly collapsed due to documents arriving late. And with the question of rule being changed, the expert remarked that;
"There is no precedent of changing the rules. Coentrao was in the exact same situation but his deal did not go through and an extension has never happened in Spain so everyone is reporting that the deal will not go through."
