I think besides the fact that the club really wants Alvarez, another major reason why they don't want to move on from the deal is because they feel like they owe it to him after convincing him to commit publicly against his current club.
I think the board's thinking right now is: "We asked him to take this step and make sacrifices for us, so we have to be willing to make sacrifices for him too."
We can't tell a player to go public and put himself in that position, then simply give up on him when there is still more than a month left in the transfer window.
If players see that we don't make the same effort for them after they take risks for us, nobody will be willing to do that in the future.
Ya fui feliz con LaLiga

Ya fui feliz con la Eurocopa
Ya fui feliz con el Mundial
Solo me queda una cosa, hazlo Flick.
El guionista de la película es brillante. Hace 10 años, Messi le decía basta a la Selección en el MetLife de Nueva Jersey agobiado tras tres finales perdidas, luego de caer con Chile en la Copa América Centenario. Una década más tarde volverá al mismo estadio para intentar levantar su segunda Copa del Mundo.
Ten years without the Champions League, but I couldn’t care less. There’s more to football than simply trophies and this is yet another historical moment for Barcelona.
In 2006, a young Messi was invited to play for Spain. He refused, and chose Argentina with all his heart. The world called it a stupid decision when Spain lifted the World Cup in 2010. Twenty years later, in what may be his final game for Argentina… he faces Spain.
Football has written the most beautiful, poetic full circle!
