Refusing to wear Barcelona jerseys! "I would rather go to a low-level team than to Barcelona!"

Espanyol goalkeeper Angel Fortunino said: "I would rather go to a low-level team than to Barcelona."

Once upon a time, the red and blue jerseys were the ultimate dream of countless players, but now they are frequently publicly rejected. From the meritorious goalkeeper to the club breaking up with the club, to the popular star giving up signing due to financial risks, Barcelona's attractiveness is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Let's take a look at the players who reject Barcelona.

1. Cork (Atletico Madrid, 2014) After Atletico Madrid miraculously won the La Liga championship in 201, Barcelona extended an olive branch to Atletico Madrid's midfielder Cork.

Faced with the turmoil of three main players leaving the team, the 23-year-old Cork made it clear: "Atlanta is my home, and I feel like I am needed here."

Cork refused to become a wealthy platter and chose to protect the soul of the bed sheet legion.

2. Srna (Donetsk Miner, 2017)

When Barcelona's call came, the Croatian guard's response was a model of loyalty in football.

"My heart is in the miner", Serner gave up the temptation of the Champions League giants just to end his career in Ukraine. In the torrent of the gold and gold medals of modern football, his choice is like an elegy.

3. Guerrero (Dorthmund, 2016)

The heroes of the 2016 European Cup won the Portugal European Cup unexpectedly chose the latter.

In response, he admitted: "Bortmond's offer made me more convinced." The facts proved that his choice was correct. If he joined Barcelona, he would live in the shadow of Alba, and he grew into an absolute main force in the Bundesliga.

4. Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao, 2025)

This can be said to be the most shocking rejection this summer, when Barcelona had reached personal terms with the Spanish international, but registration could not be secured due to the financial fairness bill restrictions.

Nico's team asked to set up "free contract termination clauses" to prevent repeating the mistake of Olmo being temporarily revoked, but Barcelona flatly refused.

In the end, Nick renewed his contract with Biba until 2035, and the liquidated damages rose to 100 million euros.

7. Kevin Garmero (Atletico Madrid, 2016)

Garmero said when rejecting Barcelona: "Barcelo has an MSN combination, what can I do?"

The Sevilla shooter is self-aware and refuses to become the fourth striker. Although the choice of £28 million to Atletico Madrid did not meet expectations, it avoided the fate of wasting time on the Camp Nou bench.

Futunino's declaration is by no means an isolated case, but has become another straw that presses upon the camel. Ironically, even Barcelona's own captain Ter Stegen expressed dissatisfaction with the cold confrontation that refused surgery, and the internal cracks have become public.

Camp Nou, which once symbolized the football temple, has now become a financial minefield, career black hole and Colosseum in the eyes of players.
