🔥 Red hot, red hot! Julián Álvarez's move to Barça takes shape | OneFootball

The transfer market is heating up, and FC Barcelona has decided to step on the gas. The club’s sporting department has made strengthening the attack for next season its top priority, and the chosen name is none other than Julián Álvarez.

According to renowned transfer market journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Blaugrana are preparing their first official offer and are expected to submit it imminently.

This initial proposal will be sent directly to the offices of Atlético de Madrid and, contrary to previous speculation, it will not include any Barcelona first-team players as makeweight to reduce the cost of the deal.

The first offer already has a figure: 90 million

For its part, newspaper SPORT has revealed the figures being handled by the Catalan club. The formal offer will be around €90 million fixed, with a significant additional amount in performance-related bonuses. The club believes this financial proposal will be enough to convince Atlético’s board.

The Argentine forward’s stance has been key in setting the whole process in motion at the Camp Nou offices. Julián Álvarez has already formally informed Atlético de Madrid of his firm desire to leave the club this summer, a position he adopted definitively after rejecting an attractive contract renewal offer a few months ago.
