The Julián Álvarez case remains one of the major soap operas of this transfer window. While FC Barcelona is still looking for its future number 9, the Catalan club has made the Argentine striker a priority and continues to work behind the scenes with Atlético de Madrid. Asked by SPORT during the Final Four of the Kings League in Milan, Fabrizio Romano confirmed that negotiations between the two clubs had not broken down and that they would continue in the coming days.
The Italian journalist, however, believes that the outcome of the case depends more on the position of the Colchoneros than on the will of Barça. “They will try to recruit Julián, that’s for sure. The conclusion of the agreement will depend more on Atlético than Barça, but the negotiations will continue »explained Romano. The Catalan club is therefore waiting for an opening in this interminable file, while maintaining the ambition to strengthen its offensive sector with a leading center forward.
