According to Gonzalo Miró, guest on "COPE Partidazo," there are many half-truths and even lies in the rumors surrounding Álvarez and Barcelona.

Gonzalo Miró, guest on "COPE Partidazo," stated directly that the situation between Álvarez and Barcelona contains "many half-truths and some lies." Miró said the Argentine striker's dissatisfaction is not recent but stems from a conversation he had with Atlético Madrid's management.

Miró claimed on the program that the conflict began with a meeting where the player expressed his discomfort: "Álvarez told them about his dissatisfaction, saying he was unhappy at the club because he disliked Atlético Madrid's style of play or felt he couldn't perform at his best under Simeone."

Miguel Ángel Gil then asked him to focus on the game first and seek a mutually acceptable solution in the summer. Miró criticized Barcelona for contacting the striker during the knockout stages, saying it affected his performance on the pitch. He also called Álvarez's agent "the biggest troublemaker behind this operation," believing the agent turned the player against Atlético Madrid's supporters.

Miró also questioned Barcelona's financial proposal, stating they "offered €100 million to be paid in an unknown number of installments," and that Atlético Madrid, as a direct rival, would never accept such terms. He added that Miguel Ángel Gil said the player was deceived because "they pushed him forward."

Miró also criticized those who accused Atlético Madrid of sticking to contractual terms, calling it hypocritical and drawing a comparison to Barcelona's refusal to sell Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain for less than his release clause. He emphasized that helping a player leave does not mean the buyer can dictate payment terms. At the end of the program, Miró warned Barcelona and Laporta that Atlético Madrid's majority shareholder maintains a very strong stance: "Whoever knows Miguel Ángel Gil, even slightly, knows that if you really mess things up, you will absolutely not win this dispute."

Miró also lamented that the agent failed to protect Álvarez, leaving him in an almost untenable situation.
