Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea saw moves fail over medicals because ‘falsehoods were told’.

Nothing irritates club supporters more than a big-name signing falling through at the last minute. When a money is approved and personal details are agreed upon, the expression ‘done deal’ spreads like wildfire, however there have been high-profile cases of transfers being canceled due to a failed physical. And anticipate more cases, since wages are now astronomical, and inspections are more strict than ever, with clubs wary of who they invest in.

Manchester United ultimately signed Ruud van Nistelrooy, and he went on to make a devastating impact, becoming a prolific striker in England.

However, it required two attempts to complete the transaction. Van Nistelrooy was scoring goals for PSV in Holland as United attempted to shatter their own transfer record in the summer of 2000. However, a physical in Carrington discovered a concern with the Dutch international’s knee, and when the deal was abandoned, he returned to PSV and promptly damaged his ACL.

Sir Alex Ferguson waited, and it was beneficial. With his rehabilitation completed, Van Nistelrooy joined for £19 million, a relative bargain given his contributions to Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup victories in England.

The Colombian superstar was a fading force when he joined Chelsea on loan from Monaco in the summer of 2015. Indeed, the signing was not viewed as a gamble, considering the striker’s failure at Manchester United on a temporary deal the previous season.

Sure enough, Jose Mourinho quickly decided enough was enough and sent him back to France with the intention of ending the contract prematurely. Following a physical, the Ligue 1 club realized he was injured and sent him back to London to leave the Blues in order to fund his rehabilitation.

The French striker was on the verge of joining Liverpool from QPR for £8.5 million in 2014 until the Reds abruptly pulled out of the agreement. Remy seems resigned to continue at Loftus Road, citing a heart condition discovered during his physical.
