The summer period is usually a busy period for many sports clubs; each club will be trying to sign their desired player/s, agents will be looking at making the best deal for their clients and athletes will be seeking new pastures in their career.
More often than not, such negotiations take place behind the scenes, with the general public only knowing at the end of such negotiations what the final price paid for acquiring the services of such player/coach was and, in some instances, the wages being paid for such services.
