Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone stated on Saturday that the club will not sell forward Julian Alvarez during the current transfer window, despite strong interest from Barcelona. Alvarez, an Argentina international, has scored 49 goals for Atletico Madrid since joining the club from Manchester City two years ago.
The firm stance from Simeone follows tensions between the two clubs. Last month, Atletico Madrid filed a formal complaint to FIFA alleging that Barcelona had illegally tapped up Alvarez amidst ongoing transfer speculation linking the player to the Catalan side.
