Julian Alvarez considers renewed Barcelona push after Atletico frustration

Published on: 23 September 2026

Atletico de Madrid forward Julian Alvarez is keen to pursue a move to Barcelona during the January transfer window, according to Topskills Sports UK.

Barcelona were unable to sign the Argentina international during the summer, despite the player’s interest, because Atletico de Madrid were not prepared to enter negotiations.

The 26-year-old is now ready to try to force through a move to the Catalan club in January. Alvarez is reportedly disappointed by the way he has been treated by Atletico supporters.

However, Barcelona do not consider strengthening their attack an urgent priority. Raphinha has made an impressive start to the current campaign while operating in a central attacking role.
