FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has received assurances from Julian Alvarez’s camp that the Argentine striker would not consider an offer from Real Madrid. In a transfer saga where the biggest clubs in Spain are circling the same player, that kind of intel is arguably worth more than a bid itself.
The €150M rejection that changed the game
Real Madrid reportedly tabled a massive €150 million offer for Alvarez. Atletico Madrid said no. Emphatically.
Alvarez’s agent, Fernando Hidalgo, stated there has been no direct contact from Real Madrid regarding a transfer. Sources close to Alvarez have made his position clear: he has no intention of joining Real Madrid. If he leaves Atletico Madrid, his preferred destination is Barcelona.
