Why is the final on so late?

When are city going to be punished?

I'm not sure of the rules/laws but how is this allowed? The player is still under contract thought it's illegal to talk to players in this manner?

[Santi Aouna] Manchester City have an agreement on personal terms (contract duration, salary) with Lucas Paquetá on long term contract. No negotiations or talks taking place between West Ham and Manchester City but the player's agents expect clubs to negotiate a transfer this summer.

Has there ever been a transfer window as bad as our January one this year?
