Portuguese soccer 'Living Legend' Luis Figo (53) is drawing attention by making a remark that will make FC Barcelona fans angry.

The 23-year-old named Pedri (23) as the player he wants to transfer from Barcelona to archrival Real Madrid.

According to Spanish media 'Marca' on the 9th (Korea time), Figo made the remarks in an interview with a betting company 'Betfair', where he serves as a public relations ambassador.




Dodgeball is actually considered an icon of betrayal. He started his professional career with Sporting in the Portuguese league and moved to Barcelona ahead of the 1995–1996 season.

Later, it was in its golden age. Having held the main position from the first season, he built the strongest offensive line with Ronaldo, Cluibert and Rivaldo, emerging as a superstar in the Primera League. Having scored 45 goals and 82 assists in 249 games in Barcelona, he became the biggest shock news hero of the time after the 1999-2000 season.

It is a transfer to rival Real Madrid. Barcelona refused to transfer, but Real Madrid took Figo with a buyout of 60 million euros (about 97.9 billion won). The transfer fee of 60 million euros was the highest ever at the time.

Dodgeball was later branded 'traitor'. Moreover, Figo decided to move because he felt Barcelona did not approve of me. I will play for Real Madrid's championship and reputation, and Barcelona's fans were extremely opposed to it. Since then, Barcelona's bitter relationship with Real Madrid has deepened, and the term 'forbidden transfer' has become common in the case of dodgeball.

After he recently mentioned 'betrayal successor', he is reminding Barcelona fans of painful memories. Dodgeball signed a contract with 'Betfair' this year and is expanding its business area by shooting promotional advertisements.

He was asked a related question in the process of filming the company's promotional content and said, `When Real Madrid is recruiting players from Barcelona, I would choose Pedri. On the contrary, if Barcelona were to sign from Real Madrid, they would have to take Valverde."

"Both are amazing players who perform at the highest level. They are reliable and a very important resource for the team. Definitely a target for recruitment is Dodgeball's 'Reason for Recommendation'.

On the other hand, Figo confessed his honest recollection of his all-time transfer fee 25 years ago. "60 million euros at that time was a really great amount. The size of the market was different from today. Even now, I still keep thinking that it was too much."

"The 222 million euros (about 362.5 billion won, the highest current transfer fee) that Paris Saint-Germain paid when recruiting Neymar from Barcelona in the past also had a strong impact."When Barcelona first signed Neymar, a huge amount of money moved, and I was really surprised that PSG paid the highest amount ever since then."

Figo added "I can't help but be surprised by the transfer fee currently being traded on the market. Isn't the amount of €60 million to €70 million now the average?" he said, expressing concern over the overheating of transfer fees.
