Julián Álvarez nears Barcelona move
However, Atletico are unwilling to part ways with one of their key stars cheaply and are demanding around €150 million before considering a sale.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal are also monitoring the striker’s situation.
According to Football Espana, Barcelona are ready to submit an opening offer worth €90m following discussions with Alvarez’s representatives.
Unlike the Gordon deal, which is believed to be close to completion, negotiations for Julian Alvarez are expected to be lengthy because of Atletico’s firm stance.
Barcelona sporting director Deco reportedly held a meeting lasting more than four hours with Alvarez’s agent Fernando Hidalgo.
