Julian Alvarez
March 2026

Barcelona remain interested in Julian Alvarez as a long-term attacking option, but reports say the club have fixed a strict maximum valuation and will not chase the deal at any price. Atletico Madrid, however, continue to insist the forward is not leaving. A fresh report said Barcelona’s ceiling sits at around €70 million, while a separate recent report quoted Atletico director Mateu Alemany dismissing exit talk and stressing Alvarez is happy and expected to stay. That gap in valuation makes any deal difficult unless one side changes position.
