It's worth mentioning that "Ms. Titan"-'s claims utterly lacked common sense, both theoretically and logically, because aside from Real Madrid (referencing Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Trent Alexander-Arnold), almost no other club in the world would take at least two years to finalize a player's transfer.
