Barcelona has decided to go all in on this summer's biggest transfer saga.

In the coming hours, Deco and Amaral are scheduled to meet with the Argentine forward's agent. This conversation could prove decisive and will ultimately determine whether Barcelona still has a chance of pulling off this high-profile deal.
Earlier reports suggested that the Catalans were unwilling to pursue further signings if the Álvarez move proved impossible. However, the club's management has now launched what is likely a final attempt to turn the situation around.
It's worth noting that Julián Álvarez is under contract with Atlético until 2030. Transfermarkt currently values the Argentine striker at €100 million.
Reminder: Catalans are no longer expecting anyone! Barcelona puts an end to the summer transfer window.
