Well you can't totally be fed up with the news, remember it's called transfer rumours and speculations. It's not entirely true but you know as they say, "out of every rumour, there's always an atom of truth in it" for the news to come out the ways it's coming out, then I think some delegations or calls might have been passed across. I don't think a transfer news outlet will just say something that at least an interest hasn't been made before coming out to say it.
Very well I agreed with you that it called speculations and in some cases it could even become a newbie thing to bet on just as someone asked before if their is any online cryptocurrency casinos that allows gamblers to bet on possible football transfers and for sure we don't have anything of such and it could have been a big fun if we can be betting of transfers deals and where a player goes next, we could have won a lot from that bet most especially on players that they transfer deals have generated a lot of controversy like Victor Osimhen or club's who generated a lot of news on their transfer activities like Asernal, Chelsea and Real Madrid etc.
