It turns out that Tecatito Corona, just before leaving Monterrey, had received an offer from FC Barcelona to join their ranks, however, as he was young, he was going to be in the second team for the first few years.

Why did Corona reject FC Barcelona?

According to his agent, the player did not like to try to reach the second team of Barcelona and simply preferred to look for other horizons by joining Twente, the team that would become his European cradle. Currently, Corna costs 20 million euros, two million more than Raúl Jiménez himself.
