Details: The statement included a humorous counter-proposal for Barcelona’s young talent, Lamine Yamal. It read:
“GO AHEAD! We’ve sent a fax to Barcelona with our offer: 4 tickets to tomorrow’s Bad Bunny concert, a one-year subscription to ABC newspaper, and a bag of sunflower seeds. We eagerly await their response so we can prepare the ‘announcement’.”
