According to Spanish media Marca, Atlético Madrid will not allow Álvaréz to join Barcelona, and the path to Arsenal is also uncertain due to differences in positions among the three parties.

Álvarez personally requested to leave at the end of last season and openly stated his desire to depart this summer during the World Cup. Fans at the Metropolitano Stadium also expressed their dissatisfaction with jeers, but the Argentine striker currently has no way to leave. On one hand, Atlético Madrid's leadership, headed by Miguel Ángel Gil and including Enrique Cerezo and Mateu Alemany, have made clear that his dream of joining Barcelona cannot be realized unless Barcelona pays his €500 million release clause. On the other hand, although the Arsenal route has been explored, no progress is expected in the short term due to concerns from all parties. Therefore, unless an unexpected surprise occurs in the final week of the transfer window, Álvarez has no choice but to accept the situation and continue playing for Atlético Madrid.

Simeone stated at his first press conference in Seoul this season that since the club has decided not to release him, he will provide support on the sporting side to help Álvarez regain his best form. His teammates have also made their stance clear, with Oblak speaking on behalf of the dressing room, saying that everyone will support Julián until his last day wearing an Atlético Madrid shirt. The club is also working to return his daily life to normal. After last Sunday's match, the club advised him not to approach the stands to greet fans to avoid further jeers. Currently, the only precedent for the Argentine player to overcome this difficulty appears to be the way Griezmann won back the fans' forgiveness on the pitch.

Álvarez already knows that the Barcelona route is not viable and understands that only Arsenal might be able to take him out of Atlético Madrid. However, aside from Barcelona, he is not interested in other clubs, and Atlético Madrid is dissatisfied with Arsenal's current offer. Moving forward, even if jeers continue to be heard against him at the Metropolitano Stadium and his dream of joining Barcelona cannot be realized, his first choice remains to play in Spain. He has experience playing for Manchester City and is unwilling to return to the Premier League, and there are discomforts with life in England, including visa issues that affect his family's ability to be with him.

Similarly, although Arteta would welcome him with open arms, negotiations between Arsenal and Atlético Madrid have failed to reach an agreement. On one hand, Arsenal has never offered Atlético Madrid more than €150 million, the amount Real Madrid was willing to pay at that time. On the other hand, Arsenal has never approved the proposal to include Gyökeres in the deal. Therefore, Atlético Madrid maintains its position and is determined to keep Álvarez.

"Pressure" in the final week

Currently, Fernando Hidalgo's efforts to bring Álvarez to Barcelona have been unsuccessful, but with one week remaining until the transfer window closes, his future will still cause a stir. Not through the Barcelona route, but because his advisor, who has faced much criticism from Atlético Madrid, has not ruled out the possibility that the player's agent will continue to pressure for the Arsenal option. However, the stance of Atlético Madrid's leadership is clear: Álvarez will not leave.
