The saga surrounding the future of Atlético Madrid star Julián Álvarez continues, reaching a climax as the current summer transfer window nears its end.
Barcelona is seeking to secure Julián Álvarez's services, having submitted an official offer to sign him last June, which was met with rejection and mockery from Atlético Madrid.
Julián Álvarez publicly expressed his desire to leave Atlético Madrid last June during the World Cup; however, the club remained stubborn and held firm to its rejecting stance, provoking the wrath of Atlético fans.
Atlético Madrid fans turned against Álvarez during last Sunday's match against Villarreal, greeting him with boos and throwing objects at him.
The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that, in light of all this, Julián Álvarez remains determined to join FC Barcelona, as clearly demonstrated by his recent actions.
It clarified that two days ago, a user on TikTok posted a video of themselves looking up at the sky, before the image transitioned to Julián Álvarez wearing a Barcelona jersey and performing his famous Spider-Man celebration.
It further reported that the same user posted a new video on Monday, expressing surprise upon discovering that Álvarez was among the users who had liked the aforementioned video.
It noted that with only one week remaining before the transfer window closes, and as Barcelona awaits developments while Atlético Madrid maintains its firm stance, Álvarez has sent a message bearing a Catalan tone.
