Atletico Madrid do not want to sell 26-year-old superstar to Barcelona – report Julian Alvarez is set to be one of the major names in the upcoming summer transfer window. The 26-year-old Atletico Madrid forward has emerged as the priority target for FC Barcelona, who are in the market for a new No. 9.
The Argentine international, for his part, has already teased the possibility of an exit in a recent interview, when he said : “I don’t know. Maybe yes, maybe no, you never know. But I’m very happy here.
They asked me a question that will be repeated everywhere. “I’m happy, I take each day as it comes. I work to improve and to give my best here.
” Atletico Madrid take hard stance However, according to SPORT , Atletico Madrid’s position is firm. The Spanish capital giants have no intention of facilitating his transfer to Barcelona. Alvarez is seen as one of the key figures in the project they are building, and there is a clear reluctance to strengthen a direct rival by letting him leave.
In the event of a sale, priority would be given to a move outside Spain. The situation is further complicated by strained relations between Atletico Madrid sporting director Mateu Alemany and Barcelona’s leadership. Signing Alvarez will be a challenge for Barcelona.
