Julián Álvarez spoke about the rumors in the media linking him with a move to FC Barcelona.

Álvarez has been linked with a move to FC Barcelona but the Argentine remains focused at Atletico Madrid. Speaking in an interview with Marca, the 25 year old commented on the rumors linking Cristian Romero of Tottenham Hotspur to Atletico Madrid. In the same interview, he was asked about him being linked to the Catalan club. Here is what he had to say:

“Well, it doesn’t bother me. I try not to pay too much attention, but I know what people are saying. They talk about it on social media. I think it’s more what people say than what’s actually happening. I’m very focused on this season, on what lies ahead with Atlético Madrid. So, I try to ignore it and think about myself, about continuing to grow as a player and winning.”

Julián Álvarez spoke about Cristian Romero being linked with a move to Atletico Madrid.

Álvarez joined Atletico Madrid last year and has played with several Argentine players. During the summer transfer market, Cristian Romero was being linked with a move from Tottenham Hotspur to Diego Simeone’s team. Speaking in an interview with Marca, Julián Álvarez spoke about Romero and if he would like to play with him. Here is what he had to say:

“Yes, yes. Obviously, I would have liked to. Cuti is one of the best defenders in the world. I spend time with him on the national team, and I really think he’s a star, a competitive animal, very strong defensively. And yes, I had some conversations with him, and due to details, it didn’t happen, but hopefully one day we can play together.”

Rodrigo De Paul is going to remain with Inter Miami and will not be rejoining Atletico Madrid.

De Paul will stay with Inter Miami as the club has activated their buy option. According to Uriel Iugt, the MLS Cup champions will pay Atletico Madrid close to $17 million.

The Argentine joined Inter Miami in July from Atletico Madrid on a six month loan deal.
