The summer period presents itself as a big duel on the transfer market between Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona. Indeed, after the offer of 100 million euros presented by the Blaugrana club for Julián Álvarez (26 years old), the Colchoneros began to get annoyed publicly. Considering this proposal towards its Argentine star as incessant harassment, the capital club is now faced with other challenges. As indicated Mundo Deportivothe rivals have the same targets: Bernardo Silva and Marc Cucurella.
The Portuguese midfielder will end his contract at Manchester City. For Atlético, Silva was therefore the free target, perfect to integrate him into Diego Simeone’s squad. And at that moment, war was declared, because Barça rushed to address the issue. The 31-year-old will make his decision after the World Cup, and what is certain is that the hands are ticking. The chances of affording it in Catalonia are therefore higher. Concerning the Chelsea full-back, the two rival clubs are around. However, in this matter, it is the Madrid leaders who could have the upper hand. Alejandro Balde and Jules Koundé are the starters, which leaves a door open for the Rojiblancos.
