On August 26, Barcelona president Laporta stated that Barcelona would still be willing to purchase Alvarez if Atletico Madrid were open to selling. Atletico Madrid has now responded.

According to Marca, Atletico Madrid is fed up with this saga. Club officials have made their position crystal clear: "The player is being portrayed as a victim, but in Julian's case, the only victim is us." Atletico Madrid is frustrated not only with the player's agent's conduct but also with Barcelona's treatment of the player over recent months.

The club stated: "They have damaged us both financially and reputationally," reiterating that Atletico Madrid itself is the true victim in this entire situation. Atletico Madrid has firmly maintained their stance: "There is absolutely no possibility of selling him to Barcelona." Earlier reports had suggested Camp Nou could be his destination. "This is not about money, it's about dignity," Atletico Madrid said at Wanda Metropolitano.

"This propaganda is filled with lies and half-truths. In the end, only Atletico Madrid will bear the consequences." The club's statement appears aimed at deflecting criticism over their star player's poor performance, as evidenced in their opening home match against Villarreal.
