Atletico Madrid rules out any discussions with Barcelona over a potential transfer of striker Julian Alvarez. Multiple outlets report that the club’s board backs the position that there is no consideration of a move and that no negotiations are taking place with the Spanish champions.
Atletico’s stance is described as firm, with at least one report quoting the club’s CEO, Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, suggesting Alvarez is being targeted by people trying to “trick” or “confuse” him. Other coverage focuses on the decision from the club’s leadership, emphasizing that Barcelona talks are not on the table.
While the reporting aligns on Atletico’s refusal to engage, the outlets differ slightly in emphasis—some stress the board-level “zero consideration” message, while others highlight the CEO’s comments about the surrounding situation. All accounts present the same overall outcome: Atletico does not entertain negotiations for Alvarez with Barcelona at this time.
