Julián Álvarez has dismissed persistent transfer links to Barcelona, stating he is “very focused on this season, on what lies ahead with Atlético de Madrid,” and believes the speculation is mostly social media chatter.
Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez has firmly responded to persistent transfer speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona.
With Robert Lewandowski’s future at Camp Nou uncertain, Álvarez has frequently been named as a potential target for the Blaugrana.
The Argentina international stated he continues to “tune out” reports, believing much of the speculation is unfounded.
Álvarez confessed that while he is aware of the intense online chatter, he is focused solely on his current club. He told MARCA:
“Look, it doesn’t bother me. I try not to pay much attention, but I know what’s being said. It’s all over social media.”
His remarks serve as a clear message to fans and media regarding his immediate intentions.
The striker suggested that the reality behind the scenes differs significantly from online talk. Álvarez concluded his statement by stressing his commitment:
“I think it’s more what’s being said online than what’s actually happening. I’m very focused on this season, on what lies ahead with Atlético de Madrid.
So, I try to tune it out and think about myself, about continuing to grow as a player, and about winning.”
