Barcelona is trying to sign Julián, the Atlético de Madrid striker, and has offered two of its players as bargaining chips.

What happened?

The Catalan team has been negotiating with Atlético for weeks, but the Madrid team refuses to sell its star player. Barcelona offered 100 million euros for Julián, but Atlético is not willing to accept the offer.

Barcelona is in first place in La Liga, with 94 points and 31 wins in 38 games, but its last defeat was against Valencia on May 23. | Statistic | Value | | --- | --- | | League position | 1st | | Points | 94 | | Wins | 31 |
