Atlético Madrid, Julián Álvarez
The transfer saga surrounding Julián Álvarez has taken another turn, with Barcelona president Joan Laporta publicly reaffirming his club’s interest in the Atlético Madrid striker, only for Atlético to respond with an emphatic rejection.
As reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on X on Wednesday, Laporta made it clear that Barcelona remain determined to sign Álvarez this summer.
“We are still very interested in Julián Álvarez,” Laporta said, stressing that Barça would like their offer to be accepted while maintaining “the utmost respect for Atlético de Madrid.”
The Barcelona president then delivered a direct message to Atlético.
