Julian Alvarez has taken a step forward. After the match between Argentina and Austria, the striker publicly made it clear that he wants to leave Atlético and that his departure would be the best solution for all parties. Some statements that have completely shaken the negotiations between the clubs and that open a scenario that is impossible to predict at this point.
At Barcelona they have welcomed the footballer’s position. The Barça club expected some gesture from the Argentinealthough I did not imagine that it would be so forceful. His words change the board of the operation and The sports management has already defined an action plan for the next few weeks.

No rush
Of course, it will not be a quick negotiation. There are still several moves to take place before the striker’s departure could become a reality, if it finally happens.
Meeting with Atlético
The next step corresponds again to Julián Álvarez. The Argentine must meet with the Atlético leaders to definitively clarify the position of each of the parties. His has already become clear after his statements in the United States a few days ago.

To sell or not to sell
Now it is the turn of the red and white club. Julián knows that Atlético has held talks with PSG to study a possible transfer, a circumstance that shows that the entity is open to a sale. That’s why you want to understand Why does the same predisposition not exist when the destination is Barcelona?the team you want to play for. The forward does not consider either the option of the French team or that of Arsenal, and that will be where he will focus his pressure.
Reactivation
If in that meeting he manages to get Atlético to open the door to negotiating with Barcelona, Deco will return to the fray. A few weeks ago he made an offer of 100 million euros for the striker, although he never got a response. Now, if it detects a minimum predisposition to dialogue, the Barça club is willing to raise its proposal.
New offer
The offer could reach 120 million eurosthe maximum amount that Barcelona plans to pay for the operation, although there is always room to introduce variables that facilitate an agreement.
Close folder
If, on the other hand, Atlético maintains its refusal to negotiate with Barcelona, the scenario is reduced to two options. The first, that Julián stands up in rebellion and takes the situation to the limit, a possibility that today seems unlikely. The second, that Barcelona definitively closes this route and activates its plan B.
In any case, the operation will not be resolved before the end of the participation of Argentina in the World Cup.
