Monday will decide everything! Álvarez and Simeone to meet face to face
The longest transfer saga of the summer has reached a point of no return.
Details: According to journalist Esteban Edul, a meeting between Julián Álvarez and Atlético manager Diego Simeone is set for Monday. The outcome of this conversation will determine what happens next: after their talk, Cholo will inform the Colchoneros’ board whether he believes the Argentine should be kept or allowed to leave.
According to El Desmarque, Álvarez will attend the meeting determined to tell Simeone he wants to leave; Barcelona’s sporting director Deco has already held talks with the forward’s agents in Madrid this week. Simeone, who heard from Julián back at the World Cup in Miami that he only wants to play for Barcelona, still insists publicly that the Argentine remains a key figure in his project. But inside the club, the situation is becoming increasingly complicated: Atlético refuse to sell their star to the Catalans and are only willing to discuss moves abroad.
Reminder: Urgent! The fate of Álvarez's transfer to Barcelona is being decided right now
