Talk of a summer transfer for Julian Alvarez is heating up now the domestic season is over and clubs are planning how to improve their squads in the next transfer window.
Barca continue to be linked with a move for Alvarez, and the rumor mill is getting very excited that the Argentina international could leave the Spanish capital.
An update from ESPN Argentina claims that Alvarez has told his agent “that if certain clubs appear that would represent a leap in his career, he would consider leaving” Atletico.
The certain clubs Alvarez would quit Atletico for are said to be Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. Atletico won’t stand in Alvarez’s way if he does want to move but will demand €150 million for the striker.
Journalist Ruben Uria also has an update and told Jijantes: “I have it clear that, for now, Atlético has said that if Julián Álvarez wants to go to Barcelona, that’s fine. But, let him put up the money that Atlético de Madrid wants. The question is, can he?”
Atletico coach Diego Simeone spoke about Alvarez at the end of the season and said he feels like the striker has already decided what he wants to do.
Barcelona remain keen and are said to have €100 million to spend on a striker this summer but that may not be enough to convince Atletico to part company with their attacker.
