Fabrizio Romano reports that Barcelona president Joan Laporta has reiterated the club’s strong interest in Julián Álvarez. Laporta said Barcelona would like Atlético Madrid to accept their offer, while stressing that the approach is being conducted respectfully.

Update (Football España): Football España reports that Barcelona continue to want Julián Álvarez, while sporting director Deco has denied that the club encouraged the forward to seek a move. The dispute has reportedly placed Barcelona’s relationship with Atlético Madrid under strain. The available report does not state that negotiations have reached an advanced stage, nor does it confirm an agreement or a formal offer. Álvarez therefore remains the subject of reported interest rather than a completed transfer. No financial details or further terms are provided in the source.
