Checkout The Most Embarrassing Things That Happened To World Top Clubs This Transfer Window

One more week remains in the transfer window, and this year’s market hasn’t failed to provide entertainment be it intentional of not. Can you guess what the most embarrassing things to happen to in the transfer window have been? Let’s take a look!

Just like the European summer, the transfer window has been hot, hot, HOT! From Neymar’s incredible world-record transfer fee to Paulinho selling just one Barcelona shirt, the off-season has provided some memorable moments and most of them are downright whacky.

Whilst many of the big spenders will look back and reflect on a successful summer, others will have some cringe-worthy moments that won’t be forgot any time soon.

Eager to find out what they? Let’s take a look!

Barcelona announce Angel Di Maria
After losing Neymar, Catalan management found themselves under pressure from the fans to hire a replacement, and one name that was linked to the post was former Real Madrid man Angel di Maria. Those rumours were much to the dismay of the Barca fans, and they feared that their worst dreams had come true when Barcelona’s official social media accounts announced the arrival of the Argentine. Fans lost their cool at the news, before then finding out that the club’s social media accounts had been hacked by a group called, OurMine.

Real Madrid announce Lionel Messi
Similarly, Real Madrid also found themselves at the end of a social media hack by the same group, and the hackers wasted no time by announcing the arrival of Lionel Messi from Barcelona. This was undoubtedly an awkward situation for both clubs, who have shown how weak their security measures are.

Paulinho Sells Just One Jersey

Neymar’s exit to Paris Saint-Germain naturally left a bitter taste in the Barca’s fans mouths, and it was only made worse when the club announced the arrival of Paulinho. The Brazilian had spent the last two years plying his trade in China, and his arrival saw him considered the most anti-climatic signings of the summer. To make matter worse, very few people attended his unveiling and after just one day the club, he had sold only one jersey, as opposed to Neymar’s 150 000 on his first day at PSG.

Juventus Don’t Sign Schick
The Bianconeri have one of the most progressive social media accounts in football, and they decided to blow things up on social media when Patrick Schick arrived at Vinovo to undergo his medical. The Polish midfielder left Poland’s camp during the U21 Euro to undergo his medical ahead of a potential move, only for the deal to go cold, which left a number of fans very confused by the lack of communication.  A few weeks later it was revealed that the deal was not concluded due to a medical condition, leaving Juventus looking a little sheepish.
