Whats happening with Van Bergen then?

All gone a bit quiet I think.

Might be just the Boro but it seems to take an eternity to complete deals this window, Payero took an age (admittedly probably due to the Olympics), Sporar has dragged on, even Muniz to Fulham and Varane to Man U seemed to go on for a few weeks once a deal had been agreed. Does it take longer to finalise now because of Brexit or is Covid and quarantine having an impact, who knows?
 
Fulham only signed muniz 4 days ago so it’s not just us really. Sometimes maybe we had to line up players departing to free up wages which drags things out. Imagine negotiations close to the line get fussy as both parties know time is running out so maybe press in their respective directions
 
Dom from the Gazette just tweeted to someone asking about Van Bergen saying fingers crossed, the deal all agreed with the clubs.

Maybe personal terms with Van Bergen not agreed?
 
Perhaps its the new economic reality in football (for most clubs)?
Player and agents want salary increases - Clubs pushing for lower costs.
Think this situation might take a year or two to play out as both parties stand their ground.

Hope he signs though
