Bought for 75 million euros from Manchester City in the summer of 2024, Julian Alvarez has been with Atlético de Madrid since the heyday. But the Argentinian international has clearly had enough and wants a change of scenery. It is with FC Barcelona that he would now like to exercise his talent. However, the two clubs have not yet entered into discussions.
After having drawn an offer worth 80 million euros to try to secure the services of Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), the Blaugrana club therefore wishes to move on with Julian Alvarez. According to the latest information revealed this Thursday by Marca, negotiations are progressing. And rather in a good way.
At least between Barcelona and the representatives of Julian Alvarez since the two parties met on Wednesday, according to the Spanish media. The sporting director, Deco, was present with other Barcelona leaders, as well as those close to Joan Laporta.
Barcelona believe in their chances for Julian Alvarez
Officially, however, there is not yet a link between Barça and Atlético, the latter not being very eager to strengthen a direct competitor in La Liga. Where then the Blaugrana will have to pay the price. According to Madrid sources cited by Marca, the transfer will not be made for less than 150 million euros. Suffice to say that for the Blaugrana finances, there could be a problem.
For the moment, the club’s financiers are analyzing whether the operation is feasible, added to the expense for Anthony Gordon. Optimism would be required on the file. In any case, Barcelona is moving forward on the matter and wants to believe that the conclusion will be positive.
