Atlético Madrid has officially declared they will not sell striker Julián Álvarez to FC Barcelona, ending ongoing transfer speculation.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, Atlético Madrid has issued a formal statement confirming that they will not negotiate the sale of Argentine striker Julián Álvarez to FC Barcelona.
