According to reporter Enric Canyellas, Barcelona's pursuit of Rodri and their interest in Alvarez are unrelated, and the club will not abandon Alvarez because of their efforts to sign Rodri.

The reporter emphasized that anyone believing Rodri's deal would derail Alvarez's move would be mistaken. Rodri has no bearing on Alvarez's situation, and the two negotiations are entirely independent.

Regarding Alvarez, Barcelona's position remains unchanged—the club has not given up on the winger, and their interest stands firm. However, the reporter cannot confirm whether Atlético Madrid's stance has shifted from their previous position.
