'You don't know who they are': Real Madrid fan describes Barca's pull strength with one transfer story from 2018

"Barca once hi-jacked a transfer while the player they wanted [Malcom] was boarding his flight to Rome. If you really thought they didn't have it in them to get Kounde, you don't know who they are," Real Madrid fan nicknamed Xav Salazar on Twitter tweets.

Indeed, this story is real. In 2018, Malcom was on his way to signing for Roma and even had a relative waiting for him in Italy, but Barcelona reached a last-minute agreement with Bordeaux to land the Brazilian when he was already at the airport.

Seems like something similar is going to happen this time as the Catalans reportedly have reached an agreement with Sevilla to sign Jules Kounde, snatching him from Chelsea at the last moment.
