According to "Diario Sport," during his last meeting with Barcelona's sporting director Deco, Álvarez and his representatives expressed their readiness to escalate the situation and pressure Atlético.

It's emphasized that this isn't an impromptu decision but a calculated next step in a strategy agreed upon by both parties in recent weeks. This approach stems from the Madrid club's firm stance, as they have refused to engage in any negotiations.

Despite this, Álvarez has no intention of damaging his relationship with his current club or acting unprofessionally. Upon his return to Atlético's training ground, he plans to inform the management privately that he still wishes to join Barcelona. This will be done in a private conversation, without public statements, as Julián's goal is not to provoke a conflict but to compel the capital club's leadership to come to the negotiating table.

Should Atlético agree to discuss the transfer, Barcelona is prepared to improve their current offer, which stands at 100 million euros. However, this would be the Catalans' final attempt to sign the Argentine international.
