: Atlético to negotiate with Barcelona and do not want to sell Julián Alvarez for less than a fee close to €

The chances of Julián Alvarez staying in Madrid, however, are slim, reports Gastón Edul.

“I find it very difficult, almost , for Julián Alvarez to continue playing for Atlético next season.”

“PSG and Barcelona have already made offers for Julián, and both offers were rejected.”

“Within Julián’s camp, Barcelona is believed to be the preferred destination, even though their financial package is lower than PSG’s.”

“On the other hand, Atlético’s position is clear: they do not intend to sell him for less than a fee close to €150M, and they are not willing to negotiate on different terms.”

“I believe Atlético will defend that position for as long as possible in order to secure the highest possible fee.”

“But Atlético also knows internally, regardless of official statements, tweets, or reports, that those are part of a strategy to strengthen their negotiating position, and that is perfectly normal.”

“I believe they already know internally that it will be very difficult for Julián to continue playing for Atlético next season.”
