Barça – Julián Álvarez: the update | OneFootball

The name of Julián Álvarez has, in recent weeks, fired up transfer market speculation around FC Barcelona. As rumors and loosely sourced reports piled up, talk of Catalan interest in the Argentine forward took center stage, fueled by his versatility and an attacking vision the Barça management is exploring—without rushing any decisions.

The reality, however, quickly poured cold water on the frenzy. The player’s entourage clarified that "no meeting has taken place with Barcelona," stressing that any potential talks would first have to go through the management of Atlético de Madrid. This clear statement, relayed by the Spanish press, distances the possibility of an advanced transfer negotiation.

Under a long-term contract since arriving from Manchester City, Álvarez remains fully committed to his Madrid project. At this stage, the media buzz seems more like outside speculation than a concrete move in the works.
