Alvarez's agent reiterated that if Barcelona are interested in signing the Argentine striker next season, they need to communicate directly with Atletico Madrid.
Alvarez's name is once again in the spotlight for two reasons: firstly, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will face off in the Copa del Rey semi-final; secondly, the striker has entered Barcelona's transfer targets for next season. However, as of now, the player's team has not had any contact with the Barcelona club or any presidential candidates, a claim his agent has denied.
Player agent Fernando Hidalgo told journalist Nabawi: "We have never communicated with any Barcelona presidential candidates, and the related rumors are untrue."
Alvarez's contract with Atletico Madrid expires in 2030. His agent emphasized: "He has a contract, and any team that wants to sign him should contact the club, not us."
