The arrival of the big matches of the 2026 World Cup has logically calmed down all the big transfer window issues a little, but behind the scenes, Barça is still working on Julian Alvarez. But, as Joan Laporta warned, FC Barcelona will not wait until the end of the summer and, in the event that Atlético does not give up, will turn to other avenues so as not to find themselves empty-handed at the end of August.
A.S. adds that Hansi Flick wants to know, as quickly as possible, which players he will be dealing with next season. He does not want an endless soap opera, and wants to have his players available as quickly as possible to work during the summer. Especially for a position as important as that of the titular number 9. Seeing Julian Alvarez arrive in the last hours of the transfer window would be, from the point of view of the player’s adaptation and the creation of automatisms with his partners, very bad news for the German coach.
