Pedri shares thoughts on Julian Alvarez amid Barcelona transfer links

Barcelona midfielder Pedri has broken his silence regarding the ongoing transfer speculation surrounding Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez. During a recent interview with Teledeporte, the Spanish international expressed his clear admiration for the Argentine's quality.

Julian as a player, I like him a lot, and I’ve always said that I want the best players at Barcelona. Pedri

Pedri maintained a professional stance, noting that "many things need to happen" for a deal to materialize. He emphasized his desire to avoid interfering in club negotiations but noted that if the transfer were to be finalized, the striker would be welcomed into the squad.

Alvarez has reportedly informed the Atletico board of his desire to leave the club this summer, with reports indicating his interest in a move to Barcelona. The Catalan side views the forward as a key priority to eventually succeed Robert Lewandowski. Despite complex financial constraints at the Camp Nou, the club continues to monitor the situation as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
