Julián Álvarez keeps open the possibility of signing for FC Barcelona after staying at Atlético de Madrid following the market closure. The Argentine forward, 26 years old, will wait until January to see if an operation can be reactivated, estimated at around 60 million euros from a financial fair play perspective in Barcelona.

The market ended with Álvarez still under the command of Diego Pablo Simeone. After several days marked by his future, the player returned to training with the team and will continue competing in LaLiga with the rojiblanco team until the transfer window reopens.

Julián Álvarez keeps the FC Barcelona door open

Continuity has not closed the case. According to information revealed by José Álvarez on El Chiringuito, FC Barcelona believes it could have approximately 60 million euros margin in January to try to advance in the signing.

This amount doesn't equate to a offer of 60 million to Atlético, but rather the financial leeway that the Catalan club would have to pursue the operation. The distinction is significant because Julián Álvarez is under contract with the Madrid team until 2030, meaning any departure would also need agreement between clubs.

The scenario envisioned by the player's camp involves a potential change in stance from Atlético de Madrid over the next four months. The expectation is that the relationship between the parties may become tense again, leading the Madrid club to initiate negotiations come January.

Álvarez also holds significant economic and sporting weight within the squad. The Argentine played 57 matches and scored 20 goals during the 2025/26 season, following 29 goals in 54 games in his first season in Madrid.

Atlético de Madrid retains control of the operation

The main obstacle for FC Barcelona remains Atlético's position. The Madrid club rejected facilitating his move to Barcelona over the summer and managed to close the transfer window with the forward staying in their squad.

The contractual situation favors the rojiblancos. Julián Álvarez signed until 2030 when he arrived from Manchester City, and there isn't an immediate deadline forcing Atlético to negotiate. His market value has also reached around 120 million euros, a figure that eliminates any chance of a cut-price exit.

Simeone's attack also saw changes before the market closed. Atlético brought in Jonathan David on loan from Juventus with a purchase option of 25 million euros, increasing the offensive options alongside Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.

Another factor could come into play before January. According to reports on September 3rd, the forward is considering a change of agents before the next transfer window opens. Such a decision would alter the key figures dealing with his future.

Until then, Julián Álvarez will continue to compete with Atlético de Madrid in LaLiga. The next opportunity to reopen negotiations will come in January 2027, when FC Barcelona can assess their financial flexibility and, most importantly, if Atlético's stance on a transfer has shifted.
