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?”
