Julián Álvarez’s transfer to FC Barcelona will not be negotiated as unanimous support from the Board of Directors for the club's strategy

OFFICIAL STATEMENT:

The members of the Board of Directors of Atlético de Madrid have unanimously expressed their full support for the club's decision not to negotiate the transfer of Julián Alvarez to Fútbol Club Barcelona.

The members of the Board of Directors are aware that "Atlético de Madrid is open to the standard negotiations of the transfer market, but always in an ethical and professional manner and with respect between clubs. We fully support the position previously communicated by the club that Futbol Club Barcelona has not complied with these requirements, and consequently there has been and will be no negotiation with them regarding the transfer of Julián Alvarez".

Atlético de Madrid is convinced that our player will understand this decision, and will focus on working to the best of his ability to help the club achieve its objectives, just as he has done over the two seasons he has been representing our colours.
