A report emerged earlier today claiming that Alvarez had sent his two brothers to check out some property in the city, fuelling rumors about a transfer.
Alvarez’s agent, Fernando Hidalgo, has been asked about the report and insists it’s “complete nonsense. ” He added: “1000% false,” he told Mundo Deportivo. “No one in the family has been in Barcelona.
The last time was for the match against Atlético, and they returned to Madrid the next day. ” Alvarez is reportedly one of Barcelona’s top transfer targets for the summer window, although a move still looks extremely difficult for the Catalans due to the costs involved. Atletico Madrid continue to insist they don’t want to sell Alvarez, but the Argentina international has been a little less certain about his future.
When asked about his future back in March , he said: “Who knows, maybe yes, maybe no. I’m happy. It’s a question that’s going to come up everywhere, but I’m happy, I’m thinking about the day-to-day and working to give my best here.
