Real Fuming Over Jurado Transfer
(Soccer365.com) - Real Madrid general manager Predrag Mijatovic is in hot water over a deal that sent youth prodigy Jurado to local rivals Atlético Madrid, which the Merengues now hope to cancel.
"When I found out Jurado was going to be sold to Atletico I rang Mijatovic to paralyse the operation," club president Ivan Calderon told Marca.
"If they were going to pay 10 million euros for the jewel of our youth team then you might accept it, but for three million you solve nothing – out of respect to our fans, we can't accept this move."
Atlético, however, claim business has already been done.
"The matter is completely clear," club owener Miguel Angel Gil Marin told reporters. "Their sporting director was given the power to negotiate with us and we agreed the price, conditions and the buy-back options with him."
"Jurado is ours."
