Víctor Font: Atlético Madrid on Julián Álvarez sale is “just talk” | OneFootball

This Sunday, March 15, Barcelona members will vote for their next president ahead of the match against Sevilla for LaLiga at Camp Nou. Joan Laporta aims to retain the position, while Víctor Font is the opponent trying to take over the leadership.

In a press conference this Wednesday, Font once again promoted himself to garner votes, with one of his main points being the transfer market. The politician admitted that his team is already working on acquiring reinforcements, and the name Julián Álvarez has been one of the most mentioned in recent weeks.

“It's a topic I always explain, it's handled by the sports management. These days they are more than active, working in the market, traveling, meeting with clubs. We are very close to having things we can offer to Hansi Flick,” the opponent began.

He then responded to El Chiringuito about the possibility of the Spider wearing the Barcelona jersey for the next season: “I know that Atlético de Madrid does not want to sell Julián Álvarez. Until this possibility exists, using this name is just blowing smoke.”

In this way, Font cooled down the chance of securing the signing of the world champion with the Argentine National Team. It should be noted that the River Plate graduate has not closed the door on a departure from the Colchonero in the next transfer market in a recent interview. Meanwhile, he has a current contract with the Madrid club until June 2030.

What Julián Álvarez said about his possible departure from Atlético de Madrid

“Staying after the summer? Who knows. Maybe yes, maybe no, you never know. I am very happy here, it's a question that then spreads everywhere, but I am happy, I think about the day-to-day, work to improve and give it my all. I never said anything or spoke badly about the club. I am very grateful, the people have shown me their affection and I am very happy,” the Argentine left the door open in a press conference.
