@CharlieStebbs@markgoldbridge If those payments had not been made, would Hazard have joined Manchester United, who were keen to sign him by all accounts, but not willing to make offshore payments?
FIFA and Gianni Infantino have performed a U-turn on his plot to sell a stake in its commercial and event operations after widespread condemnation of the plans.
In a statement, Infantino said: “Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place."
