FC Barcelona is preparing a final proposal of 115 million euros to sign Julián Álvarez , forward for Atlético de Madrid, in this summer transfer market. The Argentine forward's soap opera continues to be in full swing.

Barça's sporting director Deco and chief scouts Joao Amaral traveled to Madrid this Wednesday, August 5, to meet with the player's agent, Fernando Hidalgo, and request a direct negotiation before the deadline set by Joan Laporta on August 10.

The Strategy of Julián Álvarez to Negotiate with Atlético de Madrid

According to Sport, the attacker will officially inform the Atlético board that he wants to be transferred in this transfer window and only considers joining FC Barcelona. The player will return to preseason on August 10 without going on strike or making public statements, choosing to privately submit a formal request to his superiors to agree to negotiate.

Barça already submitted a formal initial offer of 100 million euros in mid-July, which was rejected without any discussions. Álvarez dismisses proposals from other European clubs and believes that his direct request will change the institutional stance at the Metropolitano before the start of training sessions.

Atlético de Madrid's Miguel Ángel Gil Marín's Refusal to FC Barcelona's Offer

The CEO of Atlético de Madrid, Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, maintains a firm position of not transferring the forward or engaging in direct negotiations with FC Barcelona. The Madrid board refuses to strengthen direct LaLiga rivals and considers that the player is not on the market under any economic circumstances.

Despite the frustration in the Atlético leadership from the repeated approaches from Barcelona, the Camp Nou hierarchy trusts that the player's private pressure will lead to mutual understanding. If the Madrid club remains adamant in refusing to negotiate the 115 million euros, the operation will be discarded by Laporta's board after the established deadline.

The expedition of FC Barcelona led by Deco will aim to have a meeting with Miguel Ángel Gil Marín between Thursday 6 and Friday 7 August 2026. The outcome of this summit will determine if FC Barcelona formalizes the adjusted proposal of 115 million euros or if Atlético de Madrid considers the case closed before the forward's return to training on August 10.
