Julián Álvarez makes his stance on joining Barça crystal clear: 'I want to...'

Julián Álvarez is, without a doubt, the best "9" in LaLiga. Beyond Mbappé, whom many consider a winger, "la araña" has shown that his goal-scoring instinct, mobility, and tactical intelligence are within reach of very few in the world. His performance since he arrived at Atlético de Madrid has been spectacular, establishing himself as one of the most complete forwards in European soccer.

Last season, Julián posted numbers worthy of a true world-class star. He finished the season with 29 goals and 8 assists in 57 matches, becoming the team's top scorer and an essential piece in Simeone's system. This year, he has only confirmed his enormous talent, as he already has 7 goals and 4 assists, figures that suggest he will easily surpass those of the previous campaign.

It's no coincidence that Julián Álvarez has become one of the most sought-after players on the market. His growth, his work ethic, and his instinct in the box have placed him on the radar of the continent's most powerful clubs. In fact, his name has been on everyone's lips for weeks due to his possible transfer to FC Barcelona.

Everyone talks about Julián Álvarez and FC Barcelona

For months, Barça has dreamed of signing him. With Lewandowski approaching the final stretch of his career and Ferran Torres acting as an emergency solution, Hansi Flick has expressly asked Deco to look for a reliable "9." On that list of targets, Julián Álvarez has always occupied the top spot.

The Argentine press even claimed that Julián Álvarez was "crazy about playing at Camp Nou." Some media outlets stated that his arrival depended only on an agreement between clubs and that the deal could be finalized next summer. In Barcelona, the rumor spread quickly, generating great excitement among Barça fans, who dream of seeing the Argentine wearing the blaugrana jersey.

Julián Álvarez ends the debate with his statements

However, in recent hours, Julián Álvarez himself has wanted to put an end to the speculation once and for all. In statements to DAZN, the forward was blunt and sincere: "I want to win with Atlético de Madrid". With that short but forceful phrase, he has made it clear that he isn't considering a change of scenery and that his commitment to the rojiblanco club is total.

Julián also highlighted his happiness under Simeone's guidance. "When I came to Atlético de Madrid, I felt they were going to give me an important space to develop and find my most decisive version. I'm here to keep growing, to contribute, and to improve every day", he confirmed.

Thus, Julián Álvarez has dispelled the rumors that pointed to a possible transfer to Camp Nou. The Argentine has been forceful, true to his style, without ambiguity or half measures. His message has been clear: his future is at Atlético de Madrid and not at FC Barcelona.
