Julián Álvarez

Maybe Laporta is foing trick and acting like we are interested, while we are broke and can't sign him.

He's not the perfect player for us on paper. But when you see the situations Ferran ends up in during games, you think a player like Alvarez would do much better with the ball both in terms of linkup and finishing. It's only a question of Alvarez having the proper movement of a number 9 to make use of our attacking creativity.

With that said, I wonder if it's all just media bullshit or if his name is actually on our list. Because there is no realistic chance of us signing him unless there is an affordable buyout clause which I doubt. Atleti can easily tell us 150m or fuck off, and they can do it next year and also the year after that. His name should be discarded early, if it already hasn't been.

Tbh, i feel atleti would demand fermin plus 50m or similar shit. They are not taking ferran and 50m.

First it was PSG and Atleti negotiating with price tag being demanded 150m+.

Now reports are PSG are out of the race. He is definitely too expensive and not leaving this summer.

I mean it is obvious he is not that worth and Atletico does not want to sell him after 2 seasons. Great news.

Yeah I was talking about when he moved to City which was the same time we bought Ferran….

You bring up a great point about what a great deal he was for City. I believe they purchased him from River Plate for around 21m euros and resold him for ~95m.

With that said, Ferran has had a great season. A period of inconsistency, sure, but he's more than redeemed himself with his 21 goals, 2 assists.

Still we shouldn't go into next season with him as starter... at least get somebody decent enough to rotate with.
 
I think the plan (if we really get to 1:1 and sell some players which is a big IF) was to try to convince Alvarez that he wants to come here, him putting pressure on Atleti and try to get something like 75 + bonuses over the line. The idea is very similar to what they tried with Diaz last summer. The problem in that strategy is that we are not the only club who wants these players and just as Bayern took Diaz because they had more money, the same is happening with Alvarez and PSG.

Even if PSG doesn't buy him in the end it's getting clear that Atleti are serious about demanding a fee well over 100 mil, that's impossible for us. I hope Deco turns to other targets soon.
