A comparatively young form of journalism is transfer journalism, which is at its peak in summer and winter, i.e. right now and whenever the so-called transfer window is open. In this phase, the big stars like Harry Kane move from Tottenham to Munich. And the stars like Nadiem Amiri move from Leverkusen to Bremen, or they don’t move, or they do. Or not. Because apparently enough people are interested in prominent footballers changing clubs, transfer journalists report around the clock in blogs, on websites and on YouTube channels. The chatter about transfer deals is what used to be the royal gossip in the rants. Everything follows the old and always new key question: Who gets who?
