Julián Álvarez Prepared to Take Drastic Steps to Join Barcelona
Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez is determined to leave the club this summer. His primary target remains Barcelona, for whom he is willing to turn down offers from Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain. However, Atlético are firmly opposed to letting their forward join a direct La Liga rival, especially as they count on him ahead of the Champions League final set to take place at their home stadium. The club’s management has refused to enter negotiations, citing a hefty release clause.
In response, the player’s camp is considering drastic measures. Álvarez may openly rebel by refusing to return to team training. Tensions between the parties have escalated, with the World Cup winner’s representatives feeling that the club treats him like an inexperienced newcomer rather than a world-class star.
