Atletico selling Julian Alvarez to Barcelona is entirely their choice.
Sell him. Don't sell him. Ask for €200m if you want. He's your player and you're perfectly entitled to do what you think is best for your club.
But please, spare me the holier-than-thou act about "ethics", "professionalism" and Barcelona negotiating in bad faith.
Where was all this concern for good faith when Atletico had an agreement with Barca that would require them to pay €40m for Griezmann if he played 45+ minutes in 50% of the games he was available for?
Their solution?
Keep one of their best players on the bench and repeatedly bring him on around the 60th minute so those games wouldn't count towards the clause.
Everyone knew what was happening. Griezmann knew. Simeone knew. Barca knew. The entire football world knew.
And eventually Barca, who desperately needed the money at the time, settled for roughly half the original €40m fee.
Was it within Atletico's contractual rights? Sure.
Was it this wonderful display of "good faith" and sporting ethics that they suddenly seem so passionate about in 2026?
Come on.
Football clubs look after their own interests. Atletico did it then. Barcelona are doing it now. That's the game.
So keep Julian. Sell Julian. Send him to Arsenal. Do whatever you want.
Just drop the saint act while doing it.
You cannot spend years playing the transfer market with every trick available to you and then suddenly discover the moral high ground when the sword falls on the other foot.

Stop the hypocrisy
The same Suarez that ended up being their highest goal scorer she won them the league, or the David Villa that win the league also for them turning their highest goal scorer too..
When atletico told lenglet not to renew with Barcelona and ask for a contract termination so that he can sign for them for free, which he eventually did you weren’t informed too?
@UtdDitu Coming from a low level club that hasn’t participated in champions league in over 8 years and hasn’t won it also in over 18 years..
Clean your house first, before you look at others
@NENDU__ You see you don’t even under the context of the question you were trying to ask..
Alvarez asked to fulfill his dream, then Barbelona can knocking, but in your case you are talking about Madrid asking after Yamal..
What if he doesn’t like Madrid??
@dae16bro Just shut up your fool
Bellingham is supposed to be compared to Fermin..
You disguise with lamine picture to post irrelevant nonsensical takes..
