Puebla, in their Twitter account, announced that they would give "news that will shake the internet" and users started joking about the possible signing of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. But moments later, a photograph of Matheus Ribeiro, a 24-year-old Brazilian player who played for Santos in his country, wearing La Franja's attire, was leaked.
Matheus has a price of 600,000 euros, according to Transfermark, and has played for Uniao Frederiquense, Ypiranga, Atletico Paranaense, Atletico Goianiense, and Santos.
When the Puebla team shared the news, a user wrote to them: "I warn you that if you come up with this s..., you'll lose me as a fan", accompanied by a photograph of CR7 wearing the club's shirt, to which they responded: "Just because we don't want to lose any enfranjado, we have just canceled the agreement." Others replied with a picture of Messi.
Puebla has strengthened themselves to fight against relegation with Jorge Enríquez, Cristian Tabó, Diego Cruz, Fernando Ruiz, Omar Fernández, Anderson Santamaría, and Alejandro Chumacero.
La Franja will face Monarcas Morelia tonight in search of a second victory that will help them climb positions in the fight against relegation, while the Michoacan team comes from a 1-1 draw with Monterrey Rayados.
🚨In the next few minutes, we will give news that will shake the internet 🚨
