Atletico Madrid posted provocative social media messages targeting Barcelona amid speculation that Barcelona wants to sign Julian Alvarez. Posts referenced attempts to sign players including Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Raphinha, and Deco, followed by a video featuring a dog in a lion wig. An Atletico source said the actions were serious despite appearing humorous, intended to reflect Barcelona’s behavior back at the club. The source cited treatment of Atletico figures in mixed zones, press questions during visits, and filming of a Barcelona dinner involving Juanma Lopez. The source also claimed an alleged leaked offer was not received. Atletico reiterated that Alvarez cannot be sold under installment or variable structures and requires a €500 million cash payment deposited at LaLiga headquarters.
""It might seem like a joke or a bit humorous, but this is very serious. We've been very angry with FC Barcelona for some time now. It was done ironically, to hold a mirror up to the Catalan club and show them what they're doing," explained the source"
""The messages from Fabrizio Romano , those from the press that covers the team-like when Cerezo goes to Barcelona for lunch and they bombard him with impertinent questions about whether he's going to negotiate with Laporta for Julián -the way they treat our players in the mixed zone...""
""They organize a dinner in Barcelona and alert El Chiringuito so they can film it, so Juanma López (a player agent and supposed mediator in this matter) is seen leaving the restaurant.""
""Julián can't be signed with a fixed fee, paid in installments over several seasons with some variables. It's a €500 million cash payment that needs to be deposited at LaLiga headquarters.""
