🚨UPDATE: Hidalgo wants to play with open cards and explain the player's current situation. The agent has nothing but respect for Barça and highly values the immense respect the Catalan club has shown toward the striker throughout this saga. However, Álvarez is still beaten down and devastated following the loss in the World Cup final. As a result, serious doubts have now emerged among several voices inside the Barcelona board regarding the arrival of the Argentine. While Laporta still believes that Álvarez will take the necessary step, they have set a deadline until the end of next week for the player to act. As of now the situation could still change at any moment! 🇦🇷
🚨🔵🔴 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Pressure is mounting inside Atlético Madrid over the Julián Álvarez situation 👀
Several board members reportedly want the saga brought to an end, fearing the prolonged uncertainty is slowing down the club’s transfer plans
Barcelona president Joan Laporta is understood to be closely monitoring the developments
🚨BREAKING: Chaos at Atlético Madrid. The entire board is upset with CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, believing his stubbornness is actively damaging Atlético's public image. The board and sporting staff would much rather treat Barcelona as an ally to negotiate with, especially since Atlético are highly interested in signing both Ferran Torres and Ronald Araújo from Barça. They believe Gil Marín's attitude is hurting both clubs, as it has completely delayed Atlético's own summer transfer window. The board is trying to convince the CEO to give the green light for the Julián Álvarez operation so everyone can finally move on. Joan Laporta is aware of everything happening behind closed doors at Atlético, as someone is leaking information directly to the Barcelona president. 🇦🇷🇪🇸
