Stage of the report
Rumour
The stage the reporting has reached — not the stage the deal has reached.
Independent outlets

Separate news organisations, not separate articles from the same one.
A fee of €46.0m has been reported. It is a reported figure, not a confirmed one, and no clause detail is on record for an uncompleted deal.
Transfer reporting runs ahead of transfer business, and most of what is reported at this stage never completes in the form it is reported in. What is on record here is the reporting itself: who is carrying it, at what stage, and as of when. It will be republished as a completed move only if it completes.
