Barcelona president Laporta confirms the offer made to Atlético Madrid for Julián Álvarez but will not wait indefinitely.

Laporta sent a clear signal to Atlético Madrid regarding Julián Álvarez's transfer after being elected Barcelona president. "Deco made a concrete offer for the player. We know the player has long wanted to join Barcelona, even before he played for Manchester City. We submitted this offer to Atlético Madrid with the deepest respect. They received it but told us they don't plan to sell because they have no replacement. I told them that if a replacement becomes available, our offer will still stand. We will keep this proposal valid for as long as we see fit, but we won't dance to Atlético Madrid's tune indefinitely. They know our intentions, and if they're ready to negotiate, we'll be delighted. We're showing them maximum respect and maintaining excellent relations both institutionally and personally."

With the Argentine striker fully committed and publicly expressing his desire to leave Atlético Madrid and fulfill his dream of joining Barcelona, the club will support him and do everything possible to make the deal happen. Julián Álvarez is the unanimous first choice of all parties involved (Hansi Flick, Deco, and Laporta) and will fill the void left by Lewandowski's departure.

However, Barcelona also recognizes it cannot wait indefinitely for Atlético Madrid's response. The club has set the end of the World Cup as its deadline. Once Julián Álvarez completes his tournament participation in the United States, Barcelona will demand a clear answer from Atlético Madrid. If the Rojiblancos are willing to negotiate, Barcelona will push the deal forward as much as circumstances allow. Otherwise, if the player himself doesn't exert additional pressure on Atlético Madrid to begin talks, Barcelona will need to explore other alternatives. With the transfer window just opening, Barcelona doesn't want any delays on such a critical and special position as the number nine.
