Julian Alvarez is determined to join Barcelona if he leaves Atletico Madrid this summer. His future at Atletico is uncertain, with tensions in his relationship with Diego Simeone. Simeone is expected to remain at the club for another year, which could further complicate Alvarez’s situation. Alvarez has indicated that any move away from Atletico would be only to Barcelona, preferring to stay in Spain. Barcelona intend to speed up their pursuit of Alvarez, including contacting his agent and Atletico Madrid to attempt to secure a transfer. The club’s approach may intensify in the coming weeks before Alvarez heads to the United States for the FIFA World Cup.
"Speaking to Catalunya Radio, Moretto has confirmed that Alvarez is keen on joining Barcelona, should he leave Atletico Madrid this summer. The Argentine international is not completely sure about his future at Atletico Madrid, especially given his relationship with Diego Simeone, which is quite tense at the moment. Simeone will continue at Atleti for another year, which may make things worse for Alvarez."
"The player, for his part, has informed everyone that if he joins another club, he would prefer staying in Spain, with Barcelona being his number one choice. In fact, Alvarez has sent a clear message: "If I leave Atletico Madrid, it will only be to Barcelona," Moretto claims."
"Moretto adds that Barcelona plan to accelerate their interest in Julian Alvarez, even though recent reports have claimed that the club refuse the enter a bidding war for the Argentine. Moretto further reports that Barcelona plan to get in touch with Alvarez's agent as well as Atletico Madrid, hoping to make an attempt to lure the former Man City starlet."
"The coming weeks, therefore, could prove to be crucial in the context of Barcelona's pursuit of Julian Alvarez, as the Catalans look to build a solid foundation before the attacker heads to the United States for the FIFA World Cup this summer."
