This is definitely the issue of the moment, and has been for many weeks already. Indeed, FC Barcelona would have sent an official offer to Atlético de Madrid to try to recruit Julián Álvarez. According to Mundo Deportivoa first proposal estimated at 100 million euros would have been sent directly to the Madrid club. Information initially denied by Atlético, who mentioned a “lie”, but has since been confirmed on the Catalan side.
On the Barça side, we insist on a calm and structured approach, far from any media escalation, even if the tensions between the two clubs remain palpable. The Blaugrana club considers this operation as one attempt among others on the summer market, especially since the Argentine striker, under contract until 2030, has already made it known via his entourage that he is not ruling out a departure, quite the contrary. It now remains to be seen whether Atlético will agree to open the door to negotiations for their player, whose release clause is set at… 500 million euros.
