BARCELONA'S ALVAREZ STATEMENT: THAT IS NOW IN THE PAST

Barcelona Sporting Director Deco gave an exclusive and highly remarkable interview to Diario AS, one of the leading organizations of the Spanish press. Making important statements about the Catalan giant's transfer policy and past negotiations, the Portuguese football man frankly answered questions about Argentine star Julian Alvarez, who currently wears the Atletico Madrid jersey. The successful executive gave a clear answer to the questions regarding the failure of the Alvarez transfer with the words, "Julian Alvarez, that is completely in the past. We just have to look to the future, and we are extremely happy with the current squad we have." Deco expressed that he wished the Argentine striker success in his new team and hoped that he also made a great contribution to his club. Touching upon the difficulties and complex processes in transfer periods in detail, the sporting director emphasized that countless negotiations took place behind the scenes in the football world and many transfer attempts usually closed without reaching a conclusion. Stating that the Barcelona management only turned to targets with a high probability of realization and suitable for the economic structure of the team, Deco once again revealed that the Alvarez file completely closed for the club. The situation of the star player, who took the road to Atletico Madrid after leaving England, kept the Spanish media quite busy during the summer transfer window. However, Deco's calm and professional statements showed that Barcelona already turned its route to different and new targets. Fans welcomed this transparent communication strategy of the executive positively and expressed that they trusted the current attacking line of the team on social media platforms. With these statements, the Alvarez issue officially fell off the agenda of the Catalan team.
