According to Marca's latest report, Alvarez is seeking clarification on why Atlético Madrid refuses to negotiate with Barcelona.
Barcelona has reportedly welcomed Alvarez's stance. The club had hoped he would make a statement but did not anticipate such a firm response. His comments have shifted the transfer dynamics, and Barcelona's sporting management has begun planning its approach for the coming weeks.
However, this will not be a swift negotiation. Even if the forward eventually leaves Atlético Madrid, several steps remain. The ball is now in Alvarez's court—he must meet with Atlético Madrid's management to clarify both parties' positions.
Alvarez notes that Atlético Madrid has already held transfer talks with Paris Saint-Germain, demonstrating the club's willingness to sell. He wants to understand why Atlético Madrid refuses to extend the same consideration to Barcelona.
The forward is not currently interested in moves to Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal. If he can convince Atlético Madrid to negotiate with Barcelona at this meeting, sporting director Deco will return to the table. Several weeks ago, he offered €100 million but received no response.
Now, at the slightest hint of Atlético Madrid's willingness to negotiate, Barcelona is prepared to increase its offer to €120 million—the maximum Barcelona will pay for the deal, though creative structures could facilitate an agreement.
If Atlético Madrid continues to refuse negotiations with Barcelona, two scenarios remain possible. First, Alvarez could go on strike to force the issue, though this appears unlikely at present.
The second option is that Barcelona abandons this pursuit and activates its backup plan. Regardless, this matter will not be resolved before the Argentina national team's World Cup campaign ends.

😂🤦🏽♂️ please understand something in football, those players you are speaking of were past their prime, look at what happens in England people who crossed clubs in the top 6 they weren’t the league best for example Kane he eventually moved to Bayern but you think Big 6 didn’t want him?, or KDB etc they know the clubs wont sell to direct rivals that’s what makes the league competitive. Look at the Bundesliga and what Bayern does? Is that football to you? ATM made that mistake with Griezmann but they learned and they are never doing it again, Barca did the same with Figo but now tell me even if a player wants to leave and the clubs want to sell, do you think RM will sell Vini or Mbappe to Barca? Do you think Barca will sell Yamal to RM even when Neymar left do you think barca would have even entertained an offer from Madrid? You don’t think when it’s others in that position only think of yourselves, look at the bigger picture
I understand your point of view mate but what's the usefulness of keeping a player that don't want to play for you anymore ? ATM is kinda childish Barca and real Madrid you are talking about there is a clause between us that states that we can't sell players for each other mate . it's different with ATM

is not today we when been doing business with ATm they took David villa , suarez from us so I don't see that as an issues . you can't force a player who doesn't want to play for you . I want you to understand that and the contract he signed wish AtM states that if he wants to leave to any club of his choice the club will facilitate it .

ATM is being delusional and childish at the same time. Barca gave them David Villa, Depay, Suarez and currently Clement Longlet. Are they not being stupid by stopping Alvarez from joining club of his dream.

It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t play it’s about principles, there is a reason players don’t directly exchange clubs between Real Madrid and Barca, that same culture has carried on to ATM that’s how a healthy league should be, you don’t strengthen rivals.

He has a contract until 2030. If he wants to leave, then he should terminate his own contract and pay Atletico Madrid around 500m as his release clause

Demand?? They dont have to negotiate with any club, he is contracted until 2030. If he wants out he obviously has to compensate Atletico or come to a mutual agreement

That CEO promised Alvarez that he would facilitate his move to barca if right offer arrives. Now he has turned on his words refusing to even consider it.
