The striker’s desire to leave is tied to his belief that a fresh start could be beneficial after two seasons without silverware, but for the moment, Atletico remains resolute.
Barcelona still considering their transfer strategy
Barcelona continues to be a significant part of Alvarez’s considerations, with reports indicating that the striker knows the club also has not given up on him.
