“Barcelona” team president Joan Laporta reacted to the latest purchase of Madrid's “Real” club.
As the Catalan spoke, promising Turk Arda Guleras was one step away from joining his team.
“We had reached an agreement with the player and were intending to pay a sum of 17.5 million euros to Istanbul's ‘Fenerbahçe’,” said Laporta.
However, then teams like “Real” appeared and offered significantly more.
“Barcelona” could not enter into an auction for the player,” clarified J. Laporta from “Sport”.
Earlier it was reported that attacking defender A. Guleras cost 20 million euros.
