The Julian Alvarez case has just taken a whole new turn this Wednesday afternoon. Earlier today, FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta confirmed that he had sent an offer to Atlético Madrid to recruit their star striker.
“The truth is that we are very interested in the player and we want our offer to be accepted, while showing the greatest respect to Atlético Madridhe declared during a press conference. We want them to know that if they are prepared to sell during this summer transfer window, we are prepared to buy the player in accordance with the offer we presented to them. »
Overall, the Blaugrana leader deplored the treatment reserved by his counterpart Miguel Angel Gil Marin, who only allows Arsenal to negotiate for a transfer of the Argentine despite the player’s intention to join Barcelona.
“There is 0% chance of selling Julian Alvarez to Barça”
These statements were not at all to the taste of the Colchoneros. Several sources close to the club immediately responded firmly via the newspaper.
Marca.
“We present the player as a victim, but the only victim of the Julián affair is us”it is written. “
They have caused us economic and social harm. There is 0% chance of selling him to Barça. This situation is not a question of money, but a question of dignity. A campaign of lies and half-truths has been orchestrated. Only Atlético suffers the consequences. »
It is now difficult to imagine an arrival of the 2022 world champion in Catalonia, at a time when the summer transfer window closes on Tuesday September 1st.
