Julian Alvarez seeks help from Atletico Madrid captains for transfer

Julian Alvarez, a target for Barcelona, has turned to Atletico Madrid captains Koke, Jan Oblak, and Jose Maria Gimenez in hopes of facilitating a transfer. Atletico Madrid has publicly reaffirmed that Alvarez will not be sold to Barcelona this summer. Despite Alvarez missing training for a second consecutive day due to illness, there is no indication that his absence is an effort to force a move. Diego Simeone has informed players that transfer decisions are for the club hierarchy. With the transfer window closing soon, the situation remains tense, and it appears unlikely that Atletico will alter their stance.
