It's probably just a negotiating tactic. Real try every trick in the book to drive down the price. When they signed Wes Snijder from Ajax they lied to Snide's agent that a deal had been done with Ajax and then proceeded to agree a contract. They then went to Ajax and told them Wes was joining them. Ajax understandable saw their arses but there wasn't much they could do. Real then went back to Wes' agent to say Ajax were playing silly buggers and holding up the deal (when in reality no deal was actually in place). Anyway all this succeeded in leaving ajax with nowhere to go -- their player's head had been turned and had no intention of ever playing for them again, so all they could do was go back and do a deal with Real who were the only possible buyer.
All's fair in love, war and the transfer market....
