Atlético Madrid chief executive Miguel Ángel Gil Marín has insisted that Argentine striker Julián Álvarez is not for sale, rejecting reports of a €200m offer and stating that even a significantly improved bid would not change the club’s stance.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta had confirmed a €100m offer for the 26-year-old, but Gil Marín made it clear Atlético have no intention of negotiating. “My position is clear, the club’s position is clear. We do not want to transfer him.
We didn’t accept an offer of €100 million, and we won’t accept one of €150 million or even €200 million,” he said. Álvarez enjoyed an outstanding season with 29 goals and eight assists in 57 appearances.
