Barcelona: Joan Laporta sets a final deadline for the Julian Alvarez deal!

Barcelona are running out of patience in their pursuit of Atlético Madrid's Julián Álvarez. President Joan Laporta has issued a firm warning that the club's current proposal will be withdrawn if no progress is made by the end of July.

"We have put forward our terms, and they stand as they are. But there comes a point where we must move on. That deadline falls at the end of this month," Laporta stated, as reported by Sport.es.

The Argentine striker remains high on Barça's wishlist this summer. The Catalan giants view the 25-year-old as the ideal long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski and a cornerstone of their rebuilding plans. Yet talks have hit a stubborn wall. Despite Barcelona having already tabled a formal bid, Atlético have made their position unmistakably clear: they have no desire to let go of one of their most vital assets.
