Alvarez Agent Respond To Chelsea And Barcelona Transfer Rumours
Julián Álvarez’s future at Atlético Madrid has become a major talking point after his agent addressed growing rumours linking the Argentine forward with potential moves to Chelsea and Barcelona.
The former Manchester City striker joined Atlético Madrid in a high-profile move and has since established himself as an important figure under Diego Simeone.
His energy, pressing ability, and attacking intelligence have made him a key part of Atlético’s forward line, quickly earning the trust of both the coaching staff and supporters.
With his strong performances in La Liga and Europe, Álvarez has naturally attracted attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Recent reports suggested that Chelsea and Barcelona were monitoring his situation closely as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of upcoming transfer windows.
Those reports gained momentum amid claims that representatives from Barcelona had already made contact with the player’s camp, while Chelsea were said to be exploring multiple high-profile forward options.
However, Álvarez’s agent has now stepped in to address the speculation and clarify the situation surrounding his client’s future.
Speaking publicly, the agent firmly denied that any formal talks had taken place with either Chelsea or Barcelona.
He stressed that Álvarez remains fully committed to Atlético Madrid and is not considering a move at this stage of his career.
According to the agent, any club interested in the Argentine forward would need to approach Atlético Madrid directly, as the player is under contract and respects his obligations to the Spanish side.
“There have been no meetings and no negotiations,” the agent explained.
“Julián is focused on his football at Atlético Madrid. Any interest must go through the club.
”This response directly contradicts reports suggesting Barcelona had already opened discussions as they search for a long-term solution in attack.
While the Catalan club admire Álvarez’s profile and winning mentality, their ongoing financial constraints make any major deal extremely complicated.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have been consistently linked with elite forwards as they attempt to solve long-standing goalscoring issues.
Álvarez’s versatility, work rate, and experience at the highest level make him an attractive option on paper for a Premier League side looking to rebuild.Despite that, Atlético Madrid are understood to have no intention of selling.
The club view Álvarez as a cornerstone of their sporting project and a vital part of Simeone’s tactical setup.
His ability to operate across the front line, press aggressively from the front, and link play between midfield and attack fits perfectly with Atlético’s identity and long-term vision.
Álvarez’s contract reportedly runs until the end of the decade, giving Atlético Madrid a strong position should any interest become more concrete.
Any potential suitor would likely be required to submit a significant offer before talks could even begin.From the player’s perspective, Álvarez has spoken positively about his time in Madrid.
He has praised Simeone’s influence on his development and expressed satisfaction with his role at the club, describing the move as an important step in his career.
While he has not completely ruled out a future move — something few top players ever do — there has been no indication that he is unhappy or actively pushing for an exit.
The agent’s comments reinforce that stance and send a clear message that speculation should not be mistaken for reality.
Atlético Madrid’s firm position reflects a broader strategy of retaining elite talent rather than selling at the first sign of outside interest.
With strong domestic and European ambitions, the club believe keeping Álvarez is essential to their plans moving forward.
As the transfer window approaches, rumours linking Álvarez to Chelsea and Barcelona are unlikely to disappear entirely.
Both clubs are expected to remain active in the market, and his name will continue to surface due to his quality and profile.
For now, however, the message from Álvarez’s camp is clear and consistent.There are no talks, no negotiations, and no immediate plans for the Argentine forward to leave Atlético Madrid.
Unless Atlético themselves decide otherwise, any club hoping to sign Julián Álvarez will need far more than speculation to make progress.
