Laporta confirms Barcelona's official bid for Julian Alvarez

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed that the club has submitted an official proposal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez. The news was shared following reports circulating about the Catalan club's transfer activity.

Laporta emphasized that while the terms offered are highly favorable, the proposal will not remain open indefinitely. The club is now awaiting a formal response from Atletico Madrid.

We have made an offer for Julian, and now the decision is up to Atletico. It is a very good offer, but it will not be valid forever. Joan Laporta

Head coach Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco are keen to bring the Argentine forward to the team. However, the club has already identified several backup candidates to ensure they have options if the move for Alvarez does not materialize.

The 26-year-old forward had a productive campaign last season, contributing 20 goals and 10 assists in 52 appearances across all competitions.
