Julian Alvarez’s agent responds to Barcelona transfer talk | Barca Blaugranes
In the midst of growing speculation that Julián Álvarez might leave Atlético Madrid for FC Barcelona, his agent Fernando Hidalgo has forcefully denied there are any real negotiations. The Argentine forward has been linked with Barcelona as a potential long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski, but Hidalgo insists the rumours are nothing more than speculation. He emphasised that nothing published so far is factual. With Álvarez under contract at Atlético and reportedly subject to a high release clause, and Barcelona dealing with financial constraints, any deal appears highly improbable at this stage. So despite the buzz, the player remains focused on his current club for now.
The Key points
- Agent Fernando Hidalgo confirmed there are no active transfer talks between Álvarez and Barcelona.
- Hidalgo described the rumours as “just imaginative hypotheses”, not based on fact.
- Barcelona’s interest is driven by their need to find a long-term option to replace Robert Lewandowski.
- Álvarez is under contract at Atlético Madrid with a substantial release clause, making a move difficult.
- Barcelona’s current financial and salary-cap issues would complicate any major incoming transfer.
- Despite previous comments about Álvarez admiring Barcelona, his representative now downplays any imminent move.
- The links to Barcelona arose amidst Atlético’s inconsistent performances and the player’s strong individual form.
- The forward remains part of Atlético’s plans and is not publicly seeking a departure.
- Any potential deal would require both clubs to agree on valuation and terms, which appears unlikely in the present climate.
- For now, Álvarez’s focus remains on his current season and contributing to Atlético rather than transfer speculation.
