Víctor Font: Atlético Madrid’s stance on Julián Álvarez is “all 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 is aiming to retain his position, while Víctor Font is the opposition candidate trying to take over the leadership.

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

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

He then responded to El Chiringuito regarding the possibility of “La Araña” wearing the Barcelona shirt next season: “I know for a fact that Atlético de Madrid does not want to sell Julián Álvarez. Until that possibility exists, using his name is just blowing smoke.”

In this way, Font poured cold water on the chances of signing the World Cup champion with the Argentina National Team. It’s worth remembering that the River Plate product did not rule out leaving the Colchonero in the next transfer window in a recent interview. Meanwhile, he has a contract with the Madrid club until June 2030.

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

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