Bad news is coming to Barcelona, the club did not overcome the shock of the departure of Messi, the historical legend of the Camp Nou, and Atlético increased the pain of Barca after agreeing with one of its most important goals during the current summer transfer period.
Barcelona recently announced its abandonment of Lionel Messi, after all attempts to register him in the team failed, despite the 5-year renewal agreement.
The Catalan team aspired to consolidate after Messi’s departure, due to the expected offensive shortage after the Argentine star’s exit, and was targeting Wolverhampton Wolverhampton’s Rafa Mir.
The Spanish newspaper “Marca” confirmed that the deal was lost from Barcelona, and went to its counterpart, Atletico Madrid, the Spanish champions.
The 24-year-old spent last season on loan to Huesca and starred remarkably, attracting the attention of many clubs, including Seville and Barcelona.
The newspaper pointed out that Atletico would pay only 10 million euros to include the Spanish player, a value that Barcelona could cover despite the financial crisis he suffers from.
Rafa Mir presents distinguished levels at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in Japan, where he recently scored 3 goals during his participation as a substitute against Ivory Coast in the quarter-finals.
It is noteworthy that Mir, who is good at playing as a striker and a left and right winger, scored 16 goals with Huesca last season in the League and King’s Cup.
