HERE WE GO! And to complete the 3×1 we have gone up and are going to throw the house out the window: the player arrives on loan for a season and in exchange we loan Tom Ford and Smith without a purchase option. Irrefutable offer. pic.twitter.com/ChQivcgYFd

“And remember, it took us only five minutes to create this hoax. We live in a time where reality can be altered. Don’t believe everything you see, especially if it is related to Barça“wrote the club.
These publications were accompanied with absurd methods to close each of the false agreements with FC Barcelona. This has generated a lot of excitement on social networks.
Finally, we want to take the opportunity to categorically deny that we have made an offer to the sporting director of FC Barcelona to join our team of scouts in the Brazilian market.

Hard blow from Atlético de Madrid
The “Colchonero” team was not only satisfied with the false transfer announcements. Atlético de Madrid demanded respect in the face of constant attempts to destabilize its players with false proposals and negotiations. The statement went far beyond the limits by bringing the Negreira case to the table.
“No, Atlético de Madrid would never do something like that. However, In recent months we have been suffering a campaign of harassment and demolition of one of our players. Interested leaks, ‘wrong details’, continuous lack of respect, the culé version of the machinery inventing comics, calls before direct confrontations… But of course, it wouldn’t occur to us either to have the vice president of the referees on salary or to resort to political favors to register players. RESPECT and VALUES”, communicated the Spanish entity.
This statement refers to payments to José María Enríquez Negreira while he is the Vice President of the Technical Committee of Referees (“…it would not occur to us to have the vice president of the referees on a salary…”), and also to the way in which the club manages to register new players.s despite having had problems with the Comely Play Financial (“…or resort to political favors to register players.”).
