Atletico Madrid have reacted ironically to rumors that Barcelona are trying to sign Julian Alvarez. The Madrid club posted a picture of Lamine Yamal in the club's kit and a tongue-in-cheek transfer offer on social media.
After the offer considered “mocking”, the post ended with a short paragraph in which those from Atletico Madrid emphasized the fact that such rumors can be born easily and have no basis.
Atletico Madrid, ironies at Barcelona on social networks: “A packet of seeds on Lamine Yamal”
“We have sent a fax to FC Barcelona with our transfer offer: 4 tickets to Bad Bunny's concert tomorrow, an annual subscription to ABC and a pack of seeds. We look forward to hearing from you to prepare the announcement.
And remember: it only took us 5 minutes to create this fake post. We live in an age where reality can be altered. Don't believe everything you see, especially if it's linked to Barcelona,” Atletico said ironically on social media.
Atletico Madrid continued the 'offers' on Twitter. Pedri and Raphinha were the next players targeted by the administrators of the Atletico Madrid page.
