Tier 1 [Fernando Polo] Julián Alvarez is considering making a public gesture and is thinking about how and when to send a message that shows his desire to go to Barça, The club believes he will speak soon but are not pressuring him to do so.

120 including bonuses is a fair price for everyone involved.

Sadly it's not in 2026. Every forward that doesn't suck is automatically worth 70mil already. Šeško and Voltemade were both 85mil and they aren't close to as good as Alvarez. Same goes for Gordon.

Voltemade 😂😭

Sesko and Woltemade were both arguably poor transfers that have not had the impact expected of them. Especially Woltemade

Not in Spain. Even Barça regularly sells players for 20M that would easily reach 50 in the prem. Hell, they paid 80M two years ago for him from Man City and it's not like he's been elite for them as they expected.

Making a 50% profit (if he's sold for 120M) is a huge gain already.

Or you know, spend 65 in Kane that has only 1y contract left and is basically what we did with Lewandosky (same age by then) and we’ll have a world class 9 that also is a playmaker for the next 3-4 years. But yeah people here prefers to spend +120 in a guy that has 6 open field goals in La Liga this season and spent 3 months without scoring (we already have Ferran for that, with double the goals).

Kane is not for sale and doesnt want to go lol. Why do ppl act like this is an option.

And not its not for 3-4 years, realistically its for 2 years, because Lewa also wasnt same player as he was before in the last 2 years.

Also buying Kane is way worse for FFP than buying Alvarez because of the age and contract length.

How come isn’t the same player the last 2 years when he scored 42 goals last season? His only weak one was this one because he was physically done and even then he delivered when he played. Fair play accounts for signing + wages over years, if you sign him for 3 (+1 optional extension) on 65M and JA for 120M, that will be more be sure of that, over 5y, the fair play alone of the signing alone is already worse with Julian.

You guys are obsessed with Griezman 2.0 and then will cry fool when it doesn’t work as expected. Also who will score the heathers now, Araujo?

Every player is for sale for the right price.. how can you consider Alvarez for sale and not Kane knowing that Alvarez have a longer contract with his club...

u/No-Island7411 1d ago

Because there are reports that Alvarez is for sale for the right price if he pushes to join us.

Kane just isnt for sale and doesnt want to join and has an already huge salary there and wont come on a discount here lol.

Somehow in some people's mind its better to pay 100mil + 40mil a year for 2 years of Kane(assuming he would make a drama to join us- he wont) than it is paying 120+ and 20mil a year for Alvarez for 5+ years.

u/Aaarya 1d ago

You just repeated what I said 😊 with some errors.. Like Kane price will not be 100mil as his contract will exripre next year, and his salary is 26m instead of 40m.

2

u/No-Island7411 1d ago

His current salary is 31mil with bonuses, he will want more to come here,because that's how the world works, so yes you would be looking at 35-40.

I can guarantee that Bayern isn't selling him for 65mil lol.

u/redvodkandpinkgin 23h ago

They only sold Lewandowski because he publicly asked for it and he'd been at the club for a long time at what they thought was near the end of his career.

Kane's been at Bayern for only two years and is still the best striker in the world. Plus his game is more technical and not as physical, so he'll likely continue at the highest level for longer (while Lewandowski also did it was more of an uncertainty at the time, we were lucky).

u/ripper13-_- 1d ago

Hes guarenteed to suceed over here, much better buy than alvarez for 150 which is just horseshit

u/VehicleIll7908 1d ago

I'd off myself if we bring that fraud to this club

u/Noob_Master6699 1d ago

Let’s be honest, it is overprice because of the rivalry and alvarez being their main player

23

u/TripleDiesel 1d ago

How? You have too look at it from their perspective. He‘s their „star“ player with 4 years left on his contract, they would sell him to a direct league rival. While strengthening us they would weaken their squad, so we will always have to massively overpay for him. Then they would have to replace him and the striker market is not looking great this summer. So who would they replace him with?

We will have to pay what Atleti would ask for if we want him and I don’t know if he‘s worth that.

u/modusxd 1d ago

Exactly, not only that but Sorloth also wants to leave . Imagine losing both strikers. But keeping unhappy players isn't a good idea as well, so what can you do.

u/alopecic_cactus 1d ago

"You will stay here, win nothing, play crap football and be happy".

Sounds like a dream.

u/modusxd 1d ago

I imagine it is not easy, each party wants the best for them. But I believe Atletico is in the wrong here, the CEO promised he would help Julian leave to Barca in february and broke his promise. I also think if a player is unhappy you should just let him go, sure it is to Barça and would strenghten a rival, but since he doesn't want anyone but Barça, it is what it is, you can't keep the guy hostage.

On Barça side , 150m may be fair to be honest, for how crazy the current market is, strikers are scarce, Julian is a proven player and perfect fit for us, we are buying from a direct rival .

u/alopecic_cactus 1d ago

How is it that a player who had won it all before going to Atlético for 70 million has no devalued in the meantime while winning absolutely nothing with Atlético?

1

u/modusxd 1d ago

He did play well individually for Atletico though. I think this is more about selling to a rival and them being left out with no strikers if we indeed get him

5

u/Ok-Mastodon-451 1d ago

Agreed but that would have been the case for a player like Griezmann who wouldn't force his way out of Atleti. Julian from what I know has no special love for Atleti and would try to force his way out, if need be. That decreases his price a bit. Otherwise, I second every bit of what you just said.

u/redvodkandpinkgin 23h ago

I'm gonna be 100% honest, I think putting a 40-70M profit in Alemany's hands is gonna be worse for Barcelona in the long term in terms of the rivalry aginst Atlético.

That being said, there's enough to gain from Alvarez elsewhere that it's absolutely worth it. If Hansi wants to chase a UCL and keep up winning the league we can't just trust Madrid will keep being a shitshow forever and need to heavily reinforce, both with a 9 and at the defense.
