Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has made headlines with a scathing remark about the record-breaking transfer of Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea to Manchester City.
The ex-Prime Minister took to social media to voice his sardonic and critical view, questioning the financial transparency of the agreement between these two Premier League clubs:
“Manchester City and Chelsea, the two most corrupt teams in Premier League history, have agreed on a fee for Enzo... Certainly not suspicious...”
Johnson’s fiery commentary comes in the wake of the largest deal of the current summer transfer window, with the total cost, including bonuses, estimated to be a staggering €125-145 million. His statements have ignited a heated debate among British sports and political circles.
