Atlético Madrid have reportedly made it clear to Barcelona that they will not negotiate over the sale of striker Julián Alvarez, ruling out a potential swap deal for the Argentina international.
Valued at around $115 million (€100 million), Alvarez is towards the top of Barcelona’s summer shortlist but is also among the most expensive options. It was claimed earlier this month that the Blaugrana cannot afford to come anywhere close to that figure and would rather offer at least one player in exchange.
