Atletico Madrid hit back at Barcelona on social media after the Catalan club submitted a €100 million bid for striker Julian Alvarez.
Barcelona made the offer for the Argentina forward, who joined Atletico from Manchester City in 2024. The bid came as the club prepares to confirm the signing of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United on a five-year deal worth up to €80 million with add-ons. Alvarez has scored 20 goals and provided nine assists in the 2025-26 season.
