CEO Atletico Madrid Miguel Angel Gil Marin menegaskan pihak klub tidak akan menjual penyerang Julian Alvarez ke Barcelona menjelang final Piala Dunia 2026 yang berlangsung dua hari lagi.

Manajemen Atletico Madrid merilis video resmi untuk meredam spekulasi kepindahan striker tim nasional Argentina tersebut yang tengah memanas di bursa transfer musim panas.

"My position is clear," ujar Miguel Angel Gil Marin, CEO Atletico Madrid. "The club’s intention is clear; we have made it know to the player, the fans and Barcelona’s president. I have no doubt that Atlético is the right place in the world for Julián and that Julián is the perfect center forward for Atlético Madrid. We want him to stay with us."

Pernyataan ini dikeluarkan setelah adanya komentar dari pihak manajemen Barcelona mengenai batas penawaran yang diajukan untuk memboyong sang pemain ke Camp Nou.

"I recently heard comments from the [Barcelona] president saying that the offer he had made to Atlético Madrid wasn’t unlimited, and the only possible response is that our answer certainly is. We do not want to sell him, we don’t accept the €100 million offer, nor would we accept one of €150 million or €200 million." kata Miguel Angel Gil Marin.

Gil Marin juga mengaku telah berkomunikasi langsung secara personal dengan presiden Barcelona untuk meminta agar pihak Catalan menghentikan upaya pengejaran tanda tangan sang penyerang.

"Please, just let it go. We do not want to sell him, and we are not going to sell him. Stop insisting." ungkap Miguel Angel Gil Marin.

Di sisi lain, Presiden Barcelona Joan Laporta menyatakan bahwa proposal yang diajukan oleh klubnya memiliki tenggat waktu tertentu dan menanggapi sikap keras dari kubu Atletico Madrid.

"I respect everyone’s opinion," kata Joan Laporta, Presiden Barcelona. "I respect Miguel Angel’s opinion, Enrique’s [Atletico president], everyone’s. We are there with an offer, it’s a player our manager wants and that’s why we made the offer to Atlético Madrid."

Laporta menambahkan bahwa batas waktu bagi Atletico Madrid untuk merespons tawaran tersebut adalah hingga akhir bulan Juli setelah kompetisi internasional selesai.

"It’s a very important offer for us, and a very good one. Yes, it’s not unlimited and, well, we will give it a reasonable time once the World Cup is over. I’d say until the end of the month." tutur Joan Laporta.

Berdasarkan laporan ESPN yang disampaikan Leo Paradizo, situasi ini memicu kemarahan besar dari pihak Julian Alvarez karena pengumuman dilakukan tepat sebelum pertandingan penting kariernya.

"I’ve spoken to people very close to Julián," kata Leo Paradizo, jurnalis ESPN. "There’s a general anger in a situation that’s irreconcilable at this point, because they believe that [Gil Marín’s comments and timing] were ill-intentioned."

Kondisi hubungan antara sang pemain dan pihak manajemen Atletico Madrid dilaporkan semakin memburuk akibat momentum pernyataan klub tersebut.

"The relationship is worse than before," tambah Leo Paradizo. "So it’s a big question mark to know what will happen."

Menurut laporan MARCA, jika Alvarez tidak memberikan tekanan publik secara masif kepada Atletico Madrid, kesepakatan transfer ini diperkirakan sulit terwujud karena Arsenal kini juga muncul sebagai destinasi potensial lain bagi sang striker.
