Jordan interrupts, saying: 'But that makes no sense, Eni, in the commercial reality of the hard world. If you're a competitor, the last thing I'm going to do is give you any indication of what I'm prepared to do to get a deal done.'
Aluko continued: 'That's not my experience. In my experience, I communicated with my rivals. In men's football that might be very different, but with hundreds of millions of pounds being spent, I think it's naïve to think clubs don't communicate.'
Jordan was keen to identify the difference between men's and women's football, insisting that the 'scale' of her dealings with Aston Villa were considerably smaller than Rice's high-profile move away from the London Stadium.
