Deco’s Trip to Barcelona to Meet With Julián Álvarez’s Representative in Madrid
A trip that raises new questions about Julián Álvarez's future at Atlético Madrid
The saga of the forward
The coveted Argentine forward is once again at the center of the negotiation saga with FC Barcelona. According to various Spanish media outlets, Barcelona's sports director traveled to the city of Madrid to advance the efforts for a possible purchase of the 2022 World Cup champion forward.
The Deco meeting
There is a meeting scheduled between Barcelona's sports director, Deco, and Fernando Hidalgo, the representative of Julián and Joao Amaral. In theory, Julián Álvarez would have a contract with the Atlético team until 2030, but if the conditions are met, according to Spanish media, Barcelona expects the player to express his intention to leave.
The importance and insistence of Julián
For Hansi Flick, Julián Álvarez has become an important asset for his team; if he could sign him, he could be the replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who has already left the Catalan team for the MLS. The insistence on acquiring Julián Álvarez has to do with his numbers but also with his role in the different teams he belongs to, whether it's the Argentine National Team or Atlético de Madrid, where he becomes a tactically flexible and therefore relevant figure.
