🚨🗣️ “Julian doesn’t prefer to stay and Atletico knows that, but they don’t want to sell him. Atletico CEO Miguel Angel Gil had a meeting with Alvarez in February, and told the player that he would make it easier for him to leave at the end of the season if he still wished that.”
“Julian believes he has a word from the CEO. The issue is deeper, that Julian doesn’t fit with Simeone. To Barça’s offer, Gil told Hidalgo that Atletico counts on Alvarez and *only in a last resort* they would consider a proposal which isn’t below €150m.”
“I officially contacted Atletico management, who said “we won’t sell Julian for €150m or €200m, we bet on him, there’s nothing more to talk about”. No business can be done with PSG/Arsenal if the player himself doesn’t want to join them.”
“There are two options: The player ends up staying at Atletico or Barcelona puts in at least €150m” @pedro_morata@MARCA #Transfers 🇦🇷📞
