The website "Fichajes" revealed that Atletico Madrid has set a huge price for its Argentine star Julian Alvarez, given the strong interest from Barcelona in signing him during the upcoming summer transfer window.

According to the same source, Atletico Madrid has decided to set Alvarez's exit value at 200 million euros, to protect its interests against the expected pressure from Barcelona's management, which considers the player a priority to strengthen the attacking line.

The report indicated that Barcelona sees Julian Alvarez as the ideal successor to Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, and the club is planning to make an offer that includes exchange deals to reduce the amount required from Atletico Madrid, despite being aware of the difficulty of the deal due to financial constraints and the player's high salary.

The website added that Atletico Madrid considers Alvarez a key element in the team's project, and believes that keeping him requires demonstrating great ambition and the ability to compete at the highest levels, while the 200 million euros amount serves as a deterrent barrier against attempts to acquire him.

The report confirmed that Julian Alvarez's future will depend on his current performance, market pressure, and his personal desire, as the player remains a central figure in one of the most prominent potential summer transfers for 2026 between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
