"It can be proven that Atlético assured Julián Álvarez that they would let him sign for Barcelona"

The failed signing of Julián Álvarez by Fútbol Club Barcelona continues to generate a lot of talk. On "El Chiringuito" on Mediaset" , Jota Jordi made a surprising claim about an alleged agreement between the Argentine player and the red-and-white team to negotiate his transfer to Barcelona.

The panelist on the show hosted by Josep Pedrerol even went so far as to claim that he has seen said document with that commitment in writing, signed a few months ago, when speculation about his future began.

" It can be proven that Atlético de Madrid assured the player that they would let him sign for FC Barcelona . I know it; in fact, I have seen it with my own eyes . What I am saying I have seen with my own eyes," he said.

'" One condition that Atleti imposed on him was that he speak and the second was, he was told and it was put in writing to him regarding FC Barcelona, "OK" . And I have seen it, which is why I am so sure about what I am saying. On September 2 I am going to prove it ", he warned.'

Julián Álvarez, an unsolved case

For the moment, the Argentine has returned to training with the group after several days absent from sessions amid a wave of rumors about his possible departure to a Premier League side such as Arsenal or City . However, J ota Jordi himself stated that the player will not leave Atlético de Madrid unless the club facilitates his move to Barcelona . Barça’s 100 million offer for the Argentine was not enough to meet Atlético de Madrid’s expectations.

There are only a few hours left for Atlético to fulfill its dream, which is to sell Julián. Outwardly, Mateu Alemany and Simeone keep saying they want Julián to stay, that they are going to help him, but behind closed doors that is not the reality, he stated.

'" Atlético de Madrid has been negotiating for months with teams for Julián to leave, and they have little time left to be able to sell him, which is what Atlético de Madrid want. That is what they are making known to him and those around him; they are inviting him to leave, especially to Arsenal," he said.'

"The problem is that I'm being told that Julián is not going to move from Atlético de Madrid unless it's to go to Barcelona. So, all the signings Apollo had to make with so much money... where are they? Has any striker arrived that Simeone or Mateu asked for? They want a loaned striker who can't arrive until Julián or Sorloth leaves. Atlético doesn't want Julián in the dressing room or a show at the Metropolitano every Sunday, with Julián having this attitude ," he explained.
