Barcelona ‘Trolled’ By Atletico Madrid Over Julian Alvarez
Atlético said it would not sell the Argentina forward after Barcelona’s €100 million bid opened talks, and then mocked the Catalan club on social media.
- On Friday, Atlético Madrid mocked Barcelona on social media over transfer rumors linking Argentine forward Julián Álvarez to the Catalan club, posting fake offers including concert tickets to parody persistent speculation.
- Tensions escalated after Barcelona submitted an opening €100 million proposal for Álvarez, which Atlético Madrid rejected, while transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported the forward has expressed a desire to leave.
- To ridicule the reports, Atlético Madrid shared edited images of Barcelona star Lamine Yamal wearing their jersey, tweeting, "We have sent a fax to FC Barcelona with our transfer offer."
- Despite the public mockery, Barcelona reportedly intends to return to the table with an improved proposal, though club officials maintain Álvarez is not for sale.
- With Álvarez under contract until 2030, Atlético Madrid faces the challenge of managing a player who reportedly wants to leave, holding no obligation to sell for the current offer.
