The whole truth about Julián Álvarez's signing for Barça is revealed

In FC Barcelona's offices, the name of Julián Álvarez has been underlined for some time. The blaugrana club is following the Argentine forward's situation very closely, aware that his profile would fit perfectly in the medium- and long-term sporting project. Youth, goals, and an ability to adapt to different attacking roles make him a very attractive option.

However, Barça is also realistic, and it knows that this is not a simple or immediate operation. The main obstacle is Atlético de Madrid. The club has no intention of easily parting with one of its most important assets, and even less of strengthening a direct rival.

The agent breaks the silence

Amid rumors and supposed meetings, it has been the player's own camp that has stepped forward. Fernando Hidalgo, Julián Álvarez's agent, publicly denied any contact with the blaugrana board during this period.

"It isn't true, I haven't met with Deco or with anyone from Barcelona," he stated bluntly, refuting reports that spoke of ongoing negotiations. His words seek to stop speculation that had gained momentum in recent weeks and to shift the focus back to the footballer's contractual reality.

A contract that conditions everything

The agent's message was clear and direct. Any club interested in Julián Álvarez must first approach Atlético de Madrid. The forward has a contract until 2030, a long-term bond that places the rojiblanco club in an absolutely strong position.

Besides Barça, other European giants are keeping a close eye on his situation, such as Arsenal. The interest exists, but everyone knows that any move depends on a complex and costly negotiation with Atlético, which doesn't consider a departure in the short term unless an irresistible offer arrives.

Sporting doubts and open future

Despite his contract, the sporting context has fueled the rumors. In recent weeks, Julián's performances have dipped and his prominence has not been the desired one. That situation has reopened the debate about his fit in Simeone's system, a style that doesn't fully convince the Argentine.

Barça is taking note, but with caution, there is no contact, there are no active negotiations, but there is strategic interest. The truth is clear:Julián Álvarez's signing is not in progress, but his name remains very present. Everything will depend on his evolution, on Atlético's stance, and on the right moment for a move that today remains complicated.
