☎️🔥 BREAKING: Newcastle United gives initial OK to Barcelona’s €80m offer! 5-year contract. More follows. @mhardysport @_pauljoyce #Transfers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🔵🔴💣

As covered, @monfortcarlos mentions that Barcelona’s 2nd offer could be €120m fixed + bonuses. 👉 Multiple others have said that they won’t go beyond €120m fixed, as the club does not want to “go crazy” for Julian. ℹ️ Barça would also like Alvarez to do more.

❗️At Barcelona, Real Madrid's statement is interpreted as Florentino Pérez's way to attack Barça, who believes he intended to worsen the situation and complicate the Julian Alvarez operation. Barça isn’t surprised by Madrid’s behavior. @monfortcarlos #Transfers ⚔️

❗️Julian Alvarez was never considering a move to Real Madrid under any circumstances, that’s what those close to him say. If he leaves Atletico, his only priority is Barcelona, despite interest from foreign clubs too like PSG/Arsenal. @monfortcarlos #Transfers ⚪️❌

🚨 JUST IN: As of today, Barcelona’s intention is to reach €120m fixed + bonuses for Julian and see if Atletico accepts, but very unlikely they will do more. @monfortcarlos #Transfers 💰☎️

🚨 Barcelona continues to target Julian Alvarez, this could go long. They transmit calm because they know the player’s desire is to join Barça if he leaves, but they expect more movements from the player and want Alvarez to do a little more. @monfortcarlos #Transfers 🇦🇷☎️

🚨💣 JUST IN: Joan Laporta has now personally entered the Julian Alvarez operation and has spoken with his agent very recently. @monfortcarlos #Transfers 🇦🇷📞

🗣️ “The topic has become clear — if Julián doesn't provide his help in the process, it will become very complicated. The player must try to convince Atlético to negotiate” @Benayadachraf #Transfers 🇦🇷

❗️Vedat Muriqi has reached an agreement to join Fenerbahçe for €15m, per Turkish sources. ℹ️ He was among the low-cost options at Barcelona. #Transfers 🇹🇷🚨

Lewandowski: “My era at Bayern is over. I don't see any possibility to continue playing for this club anymore” 🚨 #FCBayern “Bayern’s a serious club and I believe they won’t keep me, I don't want to play there anymore. A transfer is the best solution. I hope they don't stop me”.

🚨 JUST IN: Barcelona insists they remain determined to sign Julian Alvarez no matter what. They believe this was Real Madrid’s way to destabilize them. @monfortcarlos #Transfers 🇦🇷☎️

🚨🚨 Atletico’s statement: “1. You cut the video of the Pope where he said he was also an Atleti fan. 2. You must have confused ethics with gratitude, but to leave no doubts: we don't thank you for anything. 3. We are not studying nor considering any offer for Julián. 4. How could we [Madrid] not get along, when you make us laugh even more than Barcelona.” #FCB 📱💭

🚨 JUST IN: Sources within Barcelona assure they had known for some time that Madrid would make this move for Julián Álvarez and that the offer would be rejected. They interpret it as confirmation that Florentino Pérez is more worried about who Barça might sign than strengthening his own team, reports SER. #FCB 📞🔵🔴

🚨🗣️ “No comment”, that’s what Barcelona says on Real Madrid’s Alvarez statement. @Benayadachraf #Transfers 🇦🇷🤐

🚨🗣️ “The statement painted an ideal scenario for Real Madrid and Atleti to come out on top: Florentino Pérez fulfills his campaign promise to bid €150m, and Atleti raises their price on Julián Álvarez while setting a negotiation stance for other clubs” @gastonedul #Transfers 👀

What should Barcelona do? 🇦🇷☎️

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Real Madrid offered €150m for Julian! Rejected, as Atletico wants €500m. #Transfers 🇦🇷☎️

❗️Atlético Madrid has refused so far to open the door to negotiations. Julian has not changed his desire so far regarding the destination he seeks to move to. Barcelona will continue working but with clear steps and without madness. @Benayadachraf #Transfers 🇦🇷

🚨 JUST IN: Julio Tous is no longer going to be the main person in charge of the team’s physical preparation. Instead, his role will be taken over by Holger Broich (if nothing changes), who is fully trusted by Hansi Flick, reports SER. #FCB 🏋️🔵🔴
