🚨 Joan Laporta: “We have a lot of respect for Atlético Madrid.. The tweets were before Julián spoke about his dream of playing for a big club, but he never mentioned Barcelona at any point; we did NOT force him into this”.
“The player was on our radar even before he moved to Manchester City. What we did was a club-to-club offer. I see NO logic in the actions they're taking now”.
“This isn't the first time we've done a deal with Atlético, but perhaps this one is more sensitive; we're putting in a great effort, and there are those who want to stir up controversy”.
🚨 Javier Tebas (La Liga President): "Barcelona have cleaned up the club. Congratulations. Your success is LaLiga's success and it has nothing to envy from other clubs.”
