Barcelona ex-president Josep Bartomeu spoke about the Catalans' recent attempt to sign Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior. ESPN reports this.
According to the functionary, Barcelona carried out active negotiations with the Brazilian and finally reached the latest home ownership before the transfer.
" At the next stage, we were able to reach the future,” said Bartomeu.
However, it was not possible to complete the favor of the Catalan club, as Real Madrid endowed the footballer with their brilliant minds.
“However, Real Madrid, obviously, had more valuable financial minds, which allowed them to overtake the gravel,” added the famous Barcelona president.
Guess what, Vinicius joined Real Madrid in 2018.
