As of June 29 (CEST), according to AS reports, Dusan Vlahović and Julián Álvarez are both linked with Barcelona.

The Argentine continues to insist on leaving Atlético Madrid, while the Serbian striker makes a final push to join Barcelona. Julián Álvarez's potential move to Barcelona is undoubtedly shaping up to be one of the summer's biggest transfer sagas. Having publicly declared his desire to leave Atlético Madrid, the striker has not backed down. Instead, Álvarez has told Atlético Madrid that he believes a transfer is the best solution for all parties involved, and despite constant external pressure to change his mind, he remains firm in his position.

Atlético Madrid is deeply dissatisfied with their player's statement. The club has responded harshly, cutting off communication with Barcelona and threatening to file a complaint with FIFA—though industry insiders believe this threat carries little practical weight. Atlético Madrid continues trying to convince him to follow Simeone's plans, hoping he will reconsider, though fans appear resigned to his departure.

However, Álvarez shows no signs of changing course, nor does Barcelona. The Argentine's dream is to wear a Barcelona shirt—he has already rejected offers from Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain—and as long as a realistic possibility remains, he will continue pushing. Barcelona has long considered him their most coveted target, hoping he will replace Lewandowski as their central striker. The club will not abandon this deal easily and will do everything possible to sign him. Despite remarks from Gil Marín, Barcelona genuinely believes that once Atlético Madrid realizes Álvarez is determined to leave, they can make an offer worth around €135 million that the Spanish club will accept.

While the situation remains unclear, Dusan Vlahović has also made a last-ditch attempt to explore joining Barcelona. The Serbian striker's contract with Juventus is winding down, and he has refused to extend it. The Italian club set June 30 as the deadline for his decision, but the player shows little urgency to commit. Barcelona previously monitored him but is not currently considering him. First, Barcelona's primary target remains Julián Álvarez; second, Vlahović's salary demands are too high, at a net €8 million per year. Additionally, he is not the type of player Barcelona is currently seeking. Sporting director Deco's plan remains to sign Álvarez and extend Ferran Torres's contract, though Torres has stated he cannot guarantee he will stay at Barcelona next season.
