Uprising in Madrid, Alvarez demands departure, Atletico sets record price for

In Madrid, the home of Atletico, they have to reckon with a strong uprising. Julian Alvarez, the Argentine star, has made it clear to the club's directors that he does not intend to renew his current contract, a move that is intended to increase pressure on the directors, who sooner or later are forced to make a decision regarding his future. This uprising by Alvarez comes at a delicate moment, precisely at a time when Barcelona have shown an open interest in securing his services.

Despite this seemingly increased pressure, Atletico Madrid are in a comfortable position as Alvarez is under contract until 2030. Of course, coach Simone and the Atletico Madrid management are aware that they cannot keep a player against his will for long, which is why, according to Marca: Atletico have set a price for Alvarez. The Spanish daily writes that Alvarez can leave, but only if Barcelona, ​​or any interested club, pays 150 million euros for him.

With or without Alvarez, this period, Barcelona must take care of another important issue, the future of Marcus Rashford. The English striker closed a super season under the leadership of Hansi Flick, 13 goals and 10 assists. It is precisely these figures and his impact on the team that have convinced Barcelona's leaders to once again enter into negotiations with Man.United to extend his loan for another season. At this point, the Blaugrana team has an "axe up its sleeve", the player's desire, as Rashford wants to remain under the orders of Hansi Flick.
