It seemed like the transfer saga that would never end.
Will Carlos Tevez finally get his wish and swap Manchester City for AC Milan? Will Paris Saint-Germain get their trophy-signing and bring Alexandre Pato to Parc des Princes?
It appeared salvation had finally arrived on
Thursday.
Reports emerged that PSG had agreed a fee for Pato and the
Italian champions had already lined up a ready-made replacement in the
form of Tevez.
But then it all fell apart. Pato announced that he had no intention of leaving his 'home' in Milan, and any move Massimiliano Allegri would make for Tevez had stalled.
The powers that be stepped in. Barbara Berlusconi, AC Milan board member and the daughter of Italy's mercurial politician, put the kibosh on any deal, unwilling to lose her boyfriend to Tevez, a less aesthetically pleasing alternative.
I guess we have her to blame for an inevitable 18 further days of speculation ...
