"Julian Alvarez's agent has played down talk about a potential move from Atletico Madrid to Barcelona amid speculation his client wants out of the Spanish capital. There have been more rumors flying around this week about Alvarez's future, with claims he's keen to leave and more talk about a move to Catalunya. Fernando Hidalgo has been asked about the reports and gave them short shrift "Nothing that is being written is true. They are only imaginative hypotheses at the moment," he told Calciomercato."
"Barcelona are thought to be in the market for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, ensuring Alvarez's name keeps up cropping up. Yet if Atletico do allow Alvarez to move it won't be on the cheap and, given Barca's continued financial problems, it's difficult to see how they could afford to land the Argentina international."
Julian Alvarez's agent denied reports that the player wants to leave Atletico Madrid for Barcelona, calling the rumours imaginative hypotheses. The agent stated that nothing being written is true. Persistent rumours have suggested Alvarez is keen to depart the Spanish capital and that Barcelona view him as a potential replacement for Robert Lewandowski. Atletico Madrid would demand a significant fee if they agreed to sell Alvarez. Barcelona's ongoing financial difficulties make financing such a transfer difficult, reducing the likelihood of the Argentina international moving to Catalunya in the near term.
