🌻 Sunflower seeds for Yamal? Atlético troll Barça over Alvarez!

The rumors surrounding a move by star striker Julián Alvarez to FC Barcelona apparently aren’t going over all that well at Atlético.

“We’re fed up with months of lies, half-truths, and made-up stories like house purchases in Barcelona or absurd questions directed at our players,” an unnamed source from the club reportedly said, according to multiple media outlets.

However, the Rojiblancos’ social media account took things a step further. Early on Friday evening, Atlético’s admin hammered out the following already legendary post: “We sent FC Barcelona a fax with our transfer offer: four tickets to tomorrow’s Bad Bunny concert, a yearly subscription to the newspaper ABC, and a bag of sunflower seeds. We are eagerly awaiting the response so we can prepare the announcement.” This text was accompanied by a graphic showing Lamine Yamal in an Atlético shirt.

But that wasn’t all: less than 15 minutes later, the Madrid club sent out another post. “There was a problem with this second offer: the tickets for tomorrow’s concert are already sold out, so we are improving the previous offer with 6 tickets for Sunday’s concert,” they wrote, dressing up the post with a photo of Pedri.

So right before our eyes, one of the biggest transfer mudslinging battles in football history may be brewing here. Barça will hardly want to pass up the chance to respond to their league rival’s provocations in one way or another.

What do you think of this social media beef? Is it funny or just embarrassing from Atlético?
