Julian Alvarez needs to be professional, stand his ground, and have a direct meeting with his agent and Atlético Madrid to clarify his intentions. The recent rumors about him turning aggressive against Atlético don't look good to football fans. Whatever he decides to do next, he needs to ensure his actions don't land him or Barcelona in hot water with FIFA.

Julio Rodríguez and the @Mariners go for the series victory against Detroit today at @TMobilePark. ⚾️: 1:10 p.m. (vs. Tigers) 📺: 📻: @SeattleSports 📝:

Julián Álvarez is every Barça fan’s dream signing. He’s also the player so many inside the club want to see wearing the Barcelona shirt. Barcelona have stayed committed to him from the very beginning, refusing to seriously move on to another target. We’ve waited a long time for this deal, and with only a month left in the transfer window, the hope is still alive. After everything that’s happened, if the transfer doesn’t go through, it would be a huge disappointment. What makes this story even more special is that it’s not just the fans who want him. Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Cubarsí, and several other Barcelona players have all named Julián Álvarez when asked who they’d most like to see join the team. That alone tells you how highly he’s regarded within the dressing room. Hansi Flick wants him. The fans want him. The players want him. The board have made him their priority. Julián Álvarez isn’t just another transfer target, he’s the signing that many believe could take Barcelona to another level. 💙❤️
