Atletico Madrid Responds to Barcelona’s Alleged €100m Alvarez Offer

Atletico Madrid has categorically denied reports that Barcelona submitted a €100 million bid for Julian Álvarez. The club first responded with a tongue‑in‑cheek tweet before issuing a more formal statement accusing Barcelona of running a prolonged media campaign to pressure the player.

Atletico stressed that such speculation distracts from their sporting objectives and adds undue pressure on Álvarez. The statement reaffirmed the club’s commitment to its own values and to maintaining sporting integrity.

The episode adds another layer to the rivalry between the two Spanish giants.
