Recently we published a list of confirmed transfers that went against the old cliché that you should never buy a player based on their performances at major tournaments.
We listed Hal Robson-Kanu as a bonus as he had not yet signed for a club, and whoever did sign him would likely not get the player they say for Wales in France this summer.
It may seem harsh, especially after his simply magnificent goal against Belgium which helped his nation into the semi-finals, but there was a reason that he was released by Reading, and it was due to his performances and attitude while playing for the club last year.
Robson-Kanu bagged 3 goals in 28 games for Reading last year, and yet, Wales Online are claiming that he is currently in talks with Atletico Madrid and Sevilla.
That's Champions League finalists Atletico Madrid, and Europa League winners Sevilla, just in case you thought it may have been to a feeder club in Bolivia or something.
Sky Sports are now reporting that representatives from the two La Liga clubs have been in touch with Robson-Kanu's agent and are flying to the UK to hold further talks.
A move to Champions League finalists Atletico or Europa League winners Sevilla would be a huge shock, though the latter could be in the market for a new front man with Fernando Llorente linked with a move to Swansea City among other clubs.
While the article claims that Sky Sports are reporting the meeting between Robson-Kanu and the two Spanish giants, there is nothing even close to that on Sky Sports' website.
We fear that this transfer is nothing more than drawn out game Chinese whispers, but it instead serves as a comical example of what the transfer window has become.
Will Hal Robson-Kanu be battle for a place in Atletico's side with Antoine Griezmann next season? Only if he signs himself in FIFA career mode.
