Atletico rule out any talks with Barcelona over Alvarez
Atletico Madrid hardened their stance over a possible sale of striker Julian Alvarez to Barcelona on Thursday, ruling out any negotiations with the Spanish champions."Julian is not doing well, because there are people that have been out to trick him, to confuse him," Atletico CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin told Movistar later Thursday.
Atletico Madrid has firmly rejected any discussions with Barcelona regarding the transfer of their striker Julian Alvarez. The Argentine forward's supporters jeered him during a recent match, and the club has expressed no intention of negotiating with the Spanish champions. While Atletico remains open to traditional transfer market negotiations, they maintain that Barcelona has not met the necessary ethical and professional standards.
The club has already lodged complaints against Barcelona with FIFA and the Spanish football federation for their pursuit of Alvarez. Alvarez has been absent from training due to an illness, and the Atletico CEO stated that the player will understand the decision. Barcelona president Joan Laporta had previously indicated that his club still held an offer for Alvarez, though Atletico has ruled out any negotiations with them.
