Barcelona react to Real Madrid's statement over Atlético proposal

Real Madrid issued an official statement regarding the attempted transfer of Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez, prompting a reaction from FC Barcelona.

Details: According to Carlos Monfort, Barcelona are not surprised by Real Madrid's actions in the slightest. The Catalan club reportedly views the offer as nothing more than an attempt to destabilise the situation surrounding the player. At the same time, Barcelona remain convinced that they will sign Julián Álvarez at any cost.

Atlético, meanwhile, responded with a touch of irony, insisting that they are neither considering nor evaluating any offers for Julián Álvarez.

Reminder: Real Madrid are interested in signing Michael Olise, the star of Bayern Munich, and it has now emerged whether the Spanish giants have any realistic chance of completing the transfer.
