Atlético de Madrid is determined to keep Julián, and the club's statement has left no room for doubt. The Board of Directors has given its full backing to the club's strategy, and the club has made it clear that it will not engage in negotiations with Barcelona. This stance is a direct response to the way Barcelona pursued the transfer of the 25-year-old forward.
The club has also emphasized that its decision does not mean it is closed to making transfers during the summer market. However, any negotiations will be conducted in an ethical and professional manner, with respect for other clubs. The club has also expressed its confidence that Julián will understand the decision and continue to work hard for the team.
No transfer of Julián Alvarez to FC Barcelona will take place.
