Rafa Yuste has hit back at Atletico following their social media messages last week in response to speculation about Julian Alvarez’s future.
Los Colchoneros put out several messages on X about trying to sign Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Raphinha and subsequently explained it was because they were very angry about the transfer talk regarding Alvarez’s future.
Yuste has been asked about the saga and said the posts were “in very bad taste.”
He went on to say: “At Barcelona we have a very clear way of acting
as a club. I believe that education is paramount and, therefore, we must continue to set an example, myself first as president and down to the last member of the board of directors.”
Yuste also insisted that Atletico’s message will not affect Barcelona’s transfer plans, adding: “It doesn’t change our sporting policy at all, it has nothing to do with it. Deco is very clear about his sporting plans and will stick to them.”
Alvarez remains Barca’s top target for the summer window but bringing the Argentina international to Camp Nou will not be easy.
