Atletico Madrid had €50m offer for Premier League player rejected last summer
Atletico Madrid barely spent any summer last summer, with Javi Galan (cash plus Manu Sanchez) and Samu Omorodion being the only players to arrive with a transfer fee included.

It’s been stated by the Premier League commission’s official report on Nottingham Forest, who were handed a four-point deduction this week after breaking FFP rules, that Atleti submitted a €50m offer for Brennan Johnson last summer.
