Real Madrid announced this Tuesday that they had been snubbed by Atletico Madrid. This came after they sent a €150 million bid for Julian Alvarez.

"Real Madrid CF announces that following today's board meeting, it has made a €150 million offer to Club Atlético de Madrid for the federative rights of player Julián Álvarez. After reviewing and assessing the proposal, Atlético de Madrid thanked the club for the offer—made in the spirit of good relations between the two clubs—and rejected it, citing the player's release clause." reads the statement.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid seized the opportunity to openly mock their city rivals, quoting their statement with a string of laughing emojis. This reaction is reminiscent of the playful trolling often directed at FC Barcelona.
