According to reports relayed by the Argentine broadcast station Radio La Red, Álvarez has resolved to part ways with Atlético Madrid once his commitments at the World Cup conclude. The forward aspires to embark on a new chapter in his footballing career, seeking affiliation with a club capable of contending robustly for major trophies, notably the domestic league and the UEFA Champions League. Current data positions Barcelona as the preferred destination should the transfer materialize.

Argentine journalist Hugo Balassone, speaking on the same radio platform, affirmed his sources’ certainty regarding Álvarez’s move to Barcelona subsequent to the World Cup’s end. He elaborated that the player perceives the necessity to join a club offering consistent opportunities to vie for championships. Although previous interest was noted from Arsenal, recent indicators favor the Catalan club as the likely recipient of Álvarez’s talents.
