Summarizing key points

I’m going to recap the situation in a single line. The likely meaning here is that talks have stalled, and these could only resume if there's a change in the formula, such as regarding a loan or an option. If the user wants more information, I should ask what specifics they’re interested in: details, fee expectations, tactical fit, alternatives, or timeline. Since this is sports news, I’ll note the uncertainties and keep my response concise with bullet points.
