🚨🔵🔴 Laporta on Julián Álvarez: “We will keep this offer firm for as long as we consider. But we will not be at the expense of what Atlético de Madrid can tell us on this issue”.
“They know what our will is, if they want to do it, we will be delighted”.
“At the moment, Atlético says they do NOT sell Álvarez. Now, they don’t sell him because seems they had no alternative...”.
“I hope that if Atlético Madrid can find an alternative, they will consider our bid”.
🚨 Joan Laporta: “We have a lot of respect for Atlético Madrid.. The tweets were before Julián spoke about his dream of playing for a big club, but he never mentioned Barcelona at any point; we did NOT force him into this”.
“The player was on our radar even before he moved to Manchester City. What we did was a club-to-club offer. I see NO logic in the actions they're taking now”.
“This isn't the first time we've done a deal with Atlético, but perhaps this one is more sensitive; we're putting in a great effort, and there are those who want to stir up controversy”.
🚨 Barça president Laporta: “We made this offer for Julián with all respect to Atlético. I spoke to both Cerezo and Miguel Angel Gil”.
“The offer was sent and Atlético told me they had NO plan to sell Álvarez because they had NO alternatige as striker”, he added.
“I told them that, if they have alternatives, the bid is firm”.
🚨🔵🔴 Barcelona president Joan Laporta mentions Julián Álvarez deal status for the first time.

🚨🔵🔴 Barcelona president Joan Laporta: “It's clear that dreams turn into reality. If you work and fight for them, they come true”.
“I really like that there are players, and I think most players, who want to join Barça… and this fills us with pride”, told Chiringuito.
🌎🇦🇷 Lionel Scaloni: “Messi could have played the full game yesterday and added even more to his legend… but he chose to let his teammates get playing time”.
