The future of Julián Álvarez continues to be one of the major topics of the European transfer market. After his decisive goal in the 3-1 victory of the Argentine National Team over Switzerland in the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup, the president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, once again referred to the Catalan club's interest in the forward and sent a direct message to Atlético de Madrid.
Upon his arrival in Dallas ahead of the semifinal between Spain and France, the top Blaugrana official confirmed that the offer for the attacker is still on the table, although he made it clear that he will not wait indefinitely for a response. "We are not going to be dancing to anyone's tune. Here, we set the rhythm. We have made an offer, but it is not an infinite offer. We will see how long it remains valid," he stated.
Laporta explained that the proposal was made because Julián is the club's main sporting objective to strengthen Hansi Flick's attack. "We have already expressed our intention to sign the player that the coach and the technical management have requested. We really like Julián, and I think he is a fantastic player," he maintained.
