Late €21m bid Barcelona bid for striker rejected – They’ve now abandoned hunt for Suárez replacement

by

Barcelona made a late bid for Real Sociedad’s Willian José before abandoning their search for a new striker.

The Spanish giants have been hunting for a new forward this month after Luis Suárez was ruled out with an injury.

They have been linked to several around Europe as a result, although the club’s financial situation made any significant moves almost impossible.

They’ve now abandoned that hunt, but according to La Sexta journalist José Luis Sanchez, they made one final attempt with a bid for Willian José.
