FC Barcelona: Deco in Madrid for Julian Alvarez

This Tuesday marked a major breakthrough in FC Barcelona's efforts to sign Julian Alvarez, the Atlético Madrid star.

At Barça, securing the Argentine striker Julian Alvarez remains Joan Laporta’s top priority. FC Barcelona has already initiated serious steps to bring him in. So far, Atlético Madrid has firmly maintained its refusal to let the player transfer to Barça, despite Alvarez’s own desire to join the Catalan club.

However, a visit by a club delegation this Tuesday could accelerate negotiations for the Argentine international. Mundo Deportivo reports that sporting director Deco and his deputy João Amaral traveled to Madrid today, aiming to push forward the pursuit of Julian Alvarez.
