Guillem Balague is full of bullshit. He is an idiot of the highest order and an overrated twat. People assume that everything he says is 100% correct when he was like only once in his life correct.
Balague most often is full of nonsense to keep things interesting. His job is to basically make transfer windows as exciting as possible, given how he dedicates so much time to saying "so and so wants to go here or there".
