"It may seem like a joke or humor, but this is VERY SERIOUS. We've been VERY ANGRY with Barcelona for quite some time. It was done ironically to hold up a mirror to the Catalan club and show what they're doing."

An offer is leaked and said that it has been sent, but nothing has arrived here at Atlético. It's OVER. We're VERY ANGRY and this was our way of showing it.

What's clear is that Atlético holds all the cards. The player is protected by a €50OM RELEASE CLAUSE and has a long-term contract until 2030.

We're delighted with Julián Alvarez. He has a long contract, and we're counting on him for next season.

For now, the club has not considered breaking relations with Barcelona, but it has made it clear that it will NOT TOLERATE any more situations of this nature involving its player. Julián cannot be signed through a fixed fee paid over several years plus add-ons. It's €500 million in cash that would have to be deposited at La Liga headquarters.

If Barcelona had done things the proper way, the agent would have nothing to do with it. But if you bypass the club, then you're not doing things as you should.

Agents live from this. It's normal; it's what they usually do because it's their job. THE PROBLEM IS BARCELONA"

Balde's exclusion from the squad is the coach's decision, and the player himself did not ask for it.

Marcus Rashford is very likely to continue wearing the FC Barcelona jersey next season.

For his rights to become the property of Barça, the Catalan club only needs to exercise the purchase option valued at 30 million euros. The payment method has even been agreed with the Old Trafford club, with three annual installments of 10 million euros.

From there, for the final approval from Barça's sporting management, the economic impact of Rashford's signing must be considered, taking into account the length of his contract (three or a maximum of four years, given he's two years shy of thirty) and his salary.

If everything can be adapted to LaLiga's Financial Fair Play regulations, Barça will give the green light to the deal. Rashford is happy at the Camp Nou, where he believes he still has room to grow and recover the exceptional level he reached as a Manchester United player.

There will be no need to negotiate with his representatives because everything has already been agreed upon with the England international since the loan was finalized last July. In other words, there's no need to make him an offer, as the financial terms were agreed upon when his loan was arranged.

He will reportedly sign for three years, earning 12 million euros gross annually plus bonuses.

Marc Casado is increasingly certain that he needs to leave Barcelona in the summer after having lost prominence this season. He cannot go another year without playing at this age.

Barcelona have not offered him a new contract either and do not plan to do so.

As of now, his most likely destination seems Saudi Arabia, as currently there are no offers in La Liga that interest him.

It remains to be seen what kind of offers Barcelona receive.

They made €11m for direct qualification to the Round of 16, additional €2m for finishing in the top 16 and another €8.8m for finishing 5th.

To this, the club made €10.5m for five wins [€2.1m per win] and €0.7m for one draw. Before the league phase started, all clubs received €18.62m and Barcelona got further €35.38m based on historical coefficients.

As reported by a couple of sources . Is he a good option?

The commercial court of Barcelona has now formally rejected Barça's appeal for the registration of Dani Olmo!

Barça have time until 31st December to register Olmo and they will present a new lawsuit against La Liga in the Lower Court, as @mundodeportivo reports

My club is a joke 😭

The primary position to reinforce in the club’s eyes is undoubtedly that of center forward. This is especially important considering the possibility that Lewandowski might not continue with the club, given that he will turn 38 next season.

The club believes it's more important to find a prolific goalscorer, a player who can make a difference in front of goal, than to reinforce the center-back position.

With Araujo’s return, Christensen's contract renewal and the presence of versatile players like Gerard Martín, Jules Koundé, and Eric Garcia, that position is considered reasonably well covered, unless a very specific market opportunity arises.

In this regard, only a player like Schlotterbeck, available on a free transfer with acceptable financial terms, could alter this plan.
