Atletico acted 100% right here. Selling him would have been both an aura loss and quality loss. Maybe Julian shouldn‘t have signed a long term contract with a 500m release clause. Football is a business, not a "hihi sure follow your dream" friendship
🚨 𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗭𝗬 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧: When Manchester United tried to sign Antony, they started with an opening bid of €60M which got rejected by Ajax.
Their second bid of €80M also got rejected, their third bid of €90M also got rejected.
Eventually Ajax accepted Manchester United's €100M bid including add-ons.
The Brazilian failed to impress and was sold just three years later to Real Betis for €22M + €3M in add-ons, making him one of the worst big-money signings in Manchester United’s history.
🇲🇽🇦🇷 A Mexican flew to Argentina wearing his Mexico jersey just to test the "racism" he had been warned about.
Friends and strangers alike told him he’d get beaten up.
He spent a week in Buenos Aires and encountered the exact opposite.
Argentines were helpful and kind, offering him help, restaurant tips, places to stay...
No trouble. No hostility. Just people enjoying the city, the food, and the atmosphere.
Don't judge a whole country based on a few angry clips on social media...

Hoy y siempre, recordamos con respeto y cariño a nuestro Santo Inmortal y Guerrero de Honor, Christian "Chucho" Benítez. 💚😇
Su legado vive por siempre en la historia de Club Santos Laguna. 🇳🇬⚔️

Suárez won the Premier League Golden Boot before his €80 million move.
Bale won a trophy with Tottenham and scored 26 goals in a season before his €100 million transfer.

The Sport is finished
I hate that passport stamps are slowly becoming a thing of the past. They were one of the coolest little souvenirs you could collect without even trying. Now half the time you just scan your face, walk through a gate, and that’s it. Kind of depressing if you ask me. That shit genuinely pisses me off.
