If Real really offered that 5m signing fee for De Gea when he joins as free agent, dont you think both De Gea and Real keep their mouths shut about it?
Who knows?
These things have a habit of coming out though.
Personally I don't think it's that bad, apart from the fact it's against the rules.
Tbh, I'm amazed more top players don't use the Bosman ruling to their advantage. In the 20 years or so since it was implemented there have been surpisingly few instances of it at the top end of the game (especially in recent years)......Lewandowski, McManaman, Sol Campbell, Ballack, Davids, Henrik Larsson, Cambiasso,. Not many at all. The likes of Beckham, Pirlo, Baggio went on Bosman's, but they were surplus to requirements at that point.
