Additionally, clubs like Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are also closely monitoring the situation involving the Atletico Madrid player.
With Manchester United’s return to the Champions League and their notable financial strength, they possess an advantage in a transfer market where Barcelona must tread carefully.
Duran claims that Alvarez’s representatives are considering various options should a transfer to Barcelona become challenging, with Manchester United emerging as a viable alternative.
Alvarez Still Prefers Barcelona
Despite the influx of interest from various European clubs, Barcelona remains Alvarez’s top choice.
Alvarez has made his intentions clear, stating his desire to depart Atletico Madrid and has remained steadfast despite efforts from teammates to persuade him to remain.
Moreover, while the Blaugrana value the player, Atletico Madrid’s adamant stance presents a significant barrier to any potential transfer, as they are reluctant to strengthen a direct rival.
This situation could pave the way for Manchester United, who would encounter fewer hurdles in negotiations should Atletico decide to sell.
