The striker explains why he decided to accept an offer from Atletico Madrid rather than move to Camp Nou last summer
Kevin Gameiro turned down Barcelona in favour of a move to Atletico Madrid because he didn’t want to end up like Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Gameiro chose Atleti over a move to the Catalan giants last summer, in a deal that saw him depart Sevilla for around €30 million.
Ibrahimovic fell out of favour with Pep Guardiola after just a season at Camp Nou, following his arrival from Inter Milan in 2009, and the Atleti forward was wary of following the same path.
