Alvarez Grows Increasingly Frustrated with Atletico Madrid and Insists on Moving to Barcelona
The discontent of Argentine forward Julian Alvarez towards Atletico Madrid's management is growing amidst the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future during the current summer transfer window, despite the interest of several European clubs in acquiring his services.
According to ESPN, Alvarez is only considering a move to Barcelona, ignoring other offers he has received from Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, as he prioritizes joining the Catalan team before the new season begins.
The 26-year-old player is dissatisfied due to Atletico Madrid's lack of response so far to Barcelona's 100 million euro offer for his transfer. The Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' reported that the Catalan club officially sent its offer to Mateo Alemany, the current sporting director of the Madrid club, via email.
Alvarez does not understand the stance of Atletico Madrid officials, especially after the effort he made to participate against Arsenal in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final despite his physical struggles. The player is currently continuing his treatment program to recover from an ankle injury while in the United States with the Argentine national team camp in preparation for the World Cup, which has prevented him from participating so far under coach Lionel Scaloni.
The Argentine forward had hoped to resolve his future before the start of the global tournament, but he now realizes that this may not happen at present. The Argentine national team is set to begin its World Cup campaign on June 17 against Algeria, while Alvarez continues to work towards regaining full fitness before the match.
