Atlético considers complaint against Barcelona over interest in Álvarez

Argentine striker Julián Álvarez wants to leave Atlético Madrid, and his situation has heightened tension between the Madrid club and FC Barcelona. The player announced his intention after Argentina's 2:0 victory over Austria at the World Cup in Dallas, describing a transfer as the best solution for everyone. SITA ↗

According to published information, both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are interested in Álvarez. However, Atlético refuses to let him go. Back in early June, the club rejected a bid from Real Madrid worth 150 million euros, and president Enrique Cerezo stated that the striker is not for sale. The Madrid club is also said to be insisting on a release clause of 500 million euros. El Pais ↗

The latest development concerns Barcelona in particular. The Catalan club is said to be basing its transfer strategy on the player's own desire to leave Metropolitano. According to further reports, Atlético is considering legal action against Barcelona before FIFA, suspecting that the Catalan club has been negotiating with the Argentine despite his having a valid contract.

The transfer situation could thus become one of the main topics of the summer market during the ongoing World Cup. Further developments will depend on whether one of the interested clubs submits an offer acceptable to Atlético, or whether the Madrid club maintains its refusal and possibly escalates the dispute to the international level.
