Sport: Cortés seen as fourth center-back option, future to become clear next week

  /  autty

According to "Mundo Deportivo," the future of Barcelona defender Álvaro Cortés will enter a crucial phase within the next week. The player's priority is to stay with the team, but he has received multiple concrete offers.

The 21-year-old Álvaro Cortés remains under contract with Barcelona and is currently fully focused on training, giving his all under Flick. Although Araújo has left on loan to Liverpool, Cortés's future remains uncertain. He is considered an option for the fourth center-back position, behind Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, and Christensen. Additionally, Eric García and Koundé can also play in that position, and even Rodri can play as a center-back.

The atmosphere between the club and the player is calm, and both sides have assured that they will work together regardless of the final decision. In the coming week, this unresolved situation is expected to become clearer. Flick trusts Álvaro, believing that his pre-season performance can contribute to the team, and the player himself is satisfied and confident he can contribute to Barcelona.

The reality is that if he ultimately decides to leave, he will not lack suitors. As one of Barcelona B's standout performers last season, Álvaro Cortés has received concrete offers from clubs in La Liga, Serie A, the Premier League, and other European competitions, which demonstrates his market appeal.

However, the player's priority remains clear: Álvaro Cortés has a deep affection for Barcelona. He is currently at the club and hopes to succeed with the Blaugrana. His future will be resolved in the coming days, but for now, his full attention remains on Barcelona.
