Barcelona to set deadline for Julian Alvarez bid

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has provided an update on the club's pursuit of Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez. Addressing the status of their official proposal, Laporta emphasized that the relationship between the two clubs remains respectful and constructive.

We have a very good relationship with Atletico. After I clarified the details of our proposal to Miguel Angel Gil, we have not pressured either the club or the player. Joan Laporta

Laporta made it clear that while Barcelona's initial bid is still active, the club will not wait indefinitely. He noted that the offer was made with the understanding that it remains valid should Atletico consider alternatives for the position, but the waiting period is coming to an end.

The club is expected to define a deadline for the proposal shortly. This move aims to bring clarity to the situation, allowing Barcelona to plan their final steps in the transfer market accordingly.
