The Julian Alvarez project is going up in smoke. Despite all-terrain forcing and repeated requests from the Spider to Atlético de Madrid to want to leave the club to join Catalonia, the vice-world champion will not go to FC Barcelona. The Blaugrana management has finally understood this and is starting to work on other issues in its quest for a center forward. Time is running out since the first La Liga match takes place on Sunday in Elche (9:30 p.m.).
“We are looking for the best solutionDeco said yesterday on the sidelines of the Gamper Trophy won against Al-Ahly (2-1). We have solutions at home, but we will look for them elsewhere. All the players want to come to Barça. We lost two players up front. Lewandowski and Ferran. For Ferran, we have solutions with the players who have arrived. For Robert it’s more complicated, it’s difficult to replace a player like him. There are a lot of rumors, but yes we are going to move.»
Inter deems him untransferable
There are already alternatives at the club like Raphinha, Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi, all three capable of playing as number 9, or the young Hamza Abdelkarim, professional striker and author of 4 goals during preparation. This may not be enough to cover all aspects. An element of experience is required for this very special position. This player could be Lautaro Martinez. In recent hours, he has become FC Barcelona’s offensive priority. No easy feat.
According to Sky Sportthe Culés are likely to break their teeth. The 28-year-old is seen as non-transferable by Inter, where he is under contract until 2029. He is the team captain and the embodiment of the management’s project. He himself has great gratitude towards the Nerazzurri and does not intend to leave like that. Sport adds that he feels very happy in Italy where he is preparing to begin his 9th season. Neither he nor his agent have been contacted. This file already seems impossible to complete, especially 12 days before the transfer window closes.
