Barcelona Holding Out Hope for Alvarez as Atletico Resist Sale
Barcelona have kept their offer for Julián Álvarez open as Atlético Madrid insist the 2022 World Cup winner is not for sale.
- On Wednesday, Atletico Madrid released a furious statement accusing Barcelona of creating a "campaign of lies and half-truths" regarding Julian Alvarez, insisting there is "zero per cent chance" of selling the Argentina international to their rivals.
- Barcelona president Joan Laporta reiterated his desire to sign the 26-year-old forward, while Atletico claimed the saga "is not about money, it is about dignity," and Alvarez previously stated his desire to fulfill his "dream" by moving to Barcelona.
- Arsenal continue to monitor the situation and may move to make a late deal; Barcelona's only offer for Alvarez was tabled at £100m, while reports suggest Atletico could listen to offers around £150m before next week's transfer deadline.
- Alvarez missed training on Wednesday due to "illness," days after being jeered by some Atletico supporters during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Villarreal, though the club maintains the forward is not for sale.
- Barcelona coach Hansi Flick avoided discussing the player directly, focusing instead on squad stability and long-term planning; Flick admitted alternative solutions may be needed if the pursuit of Alvarez ultimately fails.
