According to Jose Alvarez of El Chiringuito, Atletico Madrid player Julian Alvarez has told the Rojiblancos that he wants to join FC Barcelona in the summer, which is a significant step. Intermediaries are being contacted in order to investigate the potential for a transfer.
Additionally, according to the same writer, Barcelona is getting ready to make the Argentine international an opening offer of between €70 and €75 million. Alvarez is clearly highly valued by Barcelona’s sports management, as the team looks to add a strategic offensive player to advance competitively, especially in Europe.
Even though the Argentine forward denied the allegations in a recent media interview, it is beginning to become apparent that he would not be against a transfer to the Spotify Camp Nou.
Since Atletico Madrid values its star goal scorer at €120 million, which is far more than the bid that Barcelona is allegedly preparing, Alvarez’s desire to make the move will be crucial in discussions.
Julian Alvarez tells Atletico he wants to join Barcelona
According to El Chiringuito’s most recent update, Alvarez has already decided where he will play football the next season. “Julián has made a significant move by informing Atlético that he wishes to visit Barça. Reporter José Álvarez stated on Monday that there are already contacts to discuss statistics through middlemen.
When asked about his future earlier in the day, Alvarez told reporters at a press conference that he wanted to concentrate on his football and that he “can’t be around to deny everything”. His remarks came after an ESPN article said that Barca had discussed a potential transfer with Atletico and knew that Alvarez was eager to join the Catalans.
Given that Atletico Madrid admires some of the Catalans’ talents, it is possible that the Blaugrana may provide players in exchange as part of the agreement to reduce the cost. According to the writer, an agency with positive ties to both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid may step in to arbitrate talks and assist in reaching a conclusion.
