"Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has said multiple times in the media already that Alvarez is not for sale this summer. The message is clear: 'he's not for sale', and there is no room for doubt as far as their position is concerned."
"Alvarez arrived at the Metropolitano in the summer of 2024 from Manchester City for €75 million plus €20 million in add-ons, and he is under contract until 2030, meaning he is fully protected."
"Any move for Alvarez would easily cost no less than €100 million - a figure very much out of reach for Barcelona currently."
"As such, the possibility of a player-plus-cash deal involving Casado is also shut down by the Rojiblancos."
Barcelona is targeting Julian Alvarez as a top-quality No. 9, especially with Robert Lewandowski likely leaving. Atletico Madrid's president has repeatedly stated that Alvarez is not for sale, maintaining a firm stance against negotiations. Alvarez, who joined Atletico from Manchester City for €75 million, has a release clause of €500 million, making a transfer unlikely. Barcelona considered including Marc Casado in a deal, but Atletico has no interest in him. Ferran Torres was also mentioned, but he is not seen as a viable option by either club.
