Julian Alvarez, di Argentina striker wey dey play for Atletico Madrid, don show say im ready to make big move. Di player don tell di club say im want leave, and e don plan to confront dem directly. According to reports, Alvarez feel say di club promise to negotiate if good offer come, but dem reject Barcelona bid flat. Im say im feel betrayed and don decide to force im way out.
Atletico Madrid don give Alvarez two options for im future. First option, im fit stay and finish im contract wey run until 2030. Second option, im fit move to France or England. But di club no want hear anything about selling am to Barcelona. Dem don make am clear say dem no go sell di player to dia La Liga rival. Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain be di clubs wey don show interest before.
Alvarez don tell Barcelona say im go use twin strategy to make di deal happen before training start on 10 August. Im want make im move at di end of July or start of August. Di player don already show im hand during di World Cup, wen im talk say im don speak with di people in charge and im think say di move best for everybody. Im call am di dream to join Barcelona.
Arsenal earlier dey try to swap Viktor Gyokeres for Alvarez, but dem change plan and focus on Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid. Dat make Alvarez see say im only option na Barcelona. Im dey follow di footsteps of im idol Lionel Messi, wey im used to imitate for Barcelona shirt.
But di matter no easy. Atletico hold im contract until 2031 and di release clause be 500 million euros. Alvarez know say e go need to push hard to force dem to negotiate. Barcelona don send official offer but dem no go increase am until di player break di deadlock. Di ball dey for Alvarez court. Di question na whether im fit make Atletico change dia mind.
