Argentine forward Julián Álvarez has responded to speculation linking him with a potential move to Barcelona. The Atlético Madrid player is aware of the Catalan club’s interest but remains focused on his current spell in Spain.
Reports indicate that Barcelona president Joan Laporta has maintained long-term interest in Álvarez, viewing him as an ideal replacement for Robert Lewandowski. However, Álvarez is currently concentrating on achieving success with Atlético and plans to decide on his future only after the season ends.
The striker also confirmed that before joining Madrid, he held discussions with Paris Saint Germain. The French club showed strong interest in signing him, but an agreement was never reached, leading the player to choose the Spanish league instead.
In the current season, Álvarez has appeared in fourteen matches and scored nine goals. His performances have attracted attention across Europe, and if he decides to change clubs, Atlético is expected to demand a high transfer fee.
Although Barcelona supporters hope for his arrival soon, the player remains cautious. He intends to finish the season under Diego Simeone before considering the next steps in his career.
