Julián Álvarez addresses Barcelona interest again: "I try to block it out" | OneFootball

Julián Álvarez is having another great season at Atlético de Madrid, his name continues to be mentioned among elite teams, and one of the main clubs interested is Barcelona, which has been flirting with the idea of signing him for several months now. In light of this situation, the "Spider" spoke out about it.

“Look, it doesn’t bother me. I try not to pay much attention, but I know people are talking. There’s talk on social media. I think there’s more being said out there than what’s actually happening,” said the Argentine national team forward in an interview with Marca.

Despite the rumors, he stated that he is “very focused on this season, on what lies ahead with Atlético de Madrid” and that he “tries to distance himself from that and focus on himself, on continuing to grow as a player and on winning,” he asserted.

Julián Álvarez, who was recently included in the list of the 20 most valuable players in the world, comes from scoring in Atlético de Madrid’s win over PSV in the Champions League and earned praise from Cholo Simeone, who said that “he became the game-changing player he is once again.”

The former River player has accumulated 11 goals and four assists in the 21 matches he has played so far this season. Despite Barcelona’s interest, the Colchonero has set a price of 200 million euros and his release clause rises to 500 million, so he will likely remain tied to Atleti, with whom he has a contract until mid-2030.
