FC Barcelona has ruled out the addition of Julián Álvarez for the upcoming transfer market, a tough blow for the Argentine who must decide whether to stay at Atlético de Madrid or seek a change of scenery while waiting to see if PSG and Arsenal maintain interest in his signing.

Despite Argentine forward's willingness to force his way out of Atlético de Madrid due to tension with a sector of the rojiblanco fans, coach Hansi Flick conveyed to the sporting direction on September 22, 2026 that the squad's absolute priority is to sign a left central defender.

Hansi Flick's Reasons for Rejecting Julián Álvarez at FC Barcelona

The technical staff of FC Barcelona believes that the attacking department is covered given Raphinha's performance at the start of the 2026-2027 season, along with the options provided by Gabriel Jesus and the first-team players. Conversely, defensive absences, exacerbated by Andreas Christensen's injury and Gerard Martín's inconsistency, require the winter budget to be allocated towards finding a permanent partner for Pau Cubarsí.

Additionally, the German coach has given the green light to consider offers for Alejandro Balde if a significant financial proposal arrives. The potential sale of the left-back would fund the arrival of the central defender demanded by the coaching staff, reallocating resources initially earmarked for the forward line.

Julián Álvarez's Future between Atlético de Madrid, Arsenal, and PSG

The rejection by FC Barcelona puts the 26-year-old forward in a situation where he must choose between staying at Atlético de Madrid or seeking an alternative transfer in the Premier League or Ligue 1. During the summer transfer window of 2026, both Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain showed interest in his signing, possessing the necessary financial strength to complete the operation.

The FC Barcelona board will maintain its inflexible stance of not investing in the attack, focusing Deco's efforts on restructuring the defensive line. The camp of Julián Álvarez will assess the sporting situation at Atlético de Madrid during October and November 2026.

If the situation between the Argentine player and the colchonero team persists, his representatives will begin talks with Arsenal and PSG to try to secure his departure from the Spanish capital in the winter market.
