“Mikel Arteta, Luis Enrique and Hansi Flick spoke with Julian Alvarez”. This is the information published by the show El Chiringuito de Jugones on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, therefore confirming the very serious interest of Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and FC Barcelona for the Argentine striker from Atlético de Madrid. Suffice it to say that quite a soap opera is coming this summer.
For the moment, it is FC Barcelona which seems the hottest on this issue, since according to the Spanish press, the Catalan club has already launched the first maneuvers, with first approaches to the Madrid club. In addition, the reigning Spanish champion would be favored by the player, who would have made the Camp Nou his preferred destination in the event of his departure, while Atlético is trying everything possible to keep its franchise player.
Cerezo closes the door
And before the Champions League semi-final first leg match between the Colchoneros and Arsenal, the Madrid president took the opportunity to put a coin back into the machine, sending a clear message to clubs wishing to recruit the striker. Julian is a player for Atlético de Madrid. It is today, it will be tomorrow, as well as next season. “Insisting on this subject seems really stupid to me,” said Enrique Cerezo.
A clear message therefore, but which can also serve as a warning: Atlético will be tough in negotiations. It also seems obvious that the transfer will exceed 100 million euros. “I can’t keep coming out all the time to clarify or deny things. I don’t give importance to what is said on social media because it takes on huge proportions, so I focus on what I can do on the ground. There’s something coming out every week. I focus on giving my best for the team”confided the principal concerned recently. See you this summer.
