Has FC Barcelona ended its interest in signing Julián Alvarez?

Fabrizio Romano has revealed FC Barcelona's plans for the upcoming period, confirming that the club is satisfied with its current squad. He believes that Brazilian Raphinha is capable of maintaining his impressive form throughout the season.

Romano explained that FC Barcelona's management does not currently see the need for significant changes to the team, as they are confident in the ability of the current players to continue delivering strong performances, with Raphinha at the forefront.

Regarding Julián Alvarez, Romano confirmed that Deco's recent statements in which he said the player "has become a thing of the past" do not mean that FC Barcelona has definitively closed the door on the possibility of signing the Atlético forward.

It was pointed out that Deco wants to direct everyone's focus towards the current season, with the situation to be reassessed in the future, meaning that Julián Alvarez's case has not been definitively settled despite the statements from the sporting director of FC Barcelona.

Thus, it seems that FC Barcelona prefers to continue with the current structure throughout the season, while keeping the door open for future moves according to the team's needs and developments in the transfer market.
