Barcelona: "There is hope for that" Pedri talks about the Julian Alvarez deal for Barcelona!

Barcelona midfielder Pedri has openly expressed his hope that Atlético Madrid forward Julián Álvarez will join the Catalan club, adding fuel to an already tense transfer saga.

In an interview with RTVE, the 23‑year‑old Spain international did not hide his admiration for the Argentine striker.

“I absolutely love Julián Álvarez. I hope he joins Barcelona, I hope the deal happens. He is among the best players, and we want only the best at Barça,” Pedri said.

The situation has escalated in recent days, with reports claiming that Barcelona’s hierarchy have been holding secret negotiations with Álvarez behind Atlético’s back. The Colchoneros have since filed a formal complaint with FIFA over the alleged approach.

Atlético are determined to hold onto their star forward, but Barcelona’s interest — now publicly backed by one of their own players — suggests the battle for Álvarez is far from over. The coming weeks will be decisive in determining whether the Argentine stays in Madrid or makes the move to Catalonia. The feud between the two clubs is now firmly in the spotlight, and the outcome could have major implications for both sides.
