Julian Alvarez's agent denies Real Madrid contact
Julian Alvarez's agent Fernando Hidalgo said there has been no contact from Real Madrid about any interest. The comment was made in a response to a question from 365Scores.
Earlier reports linked Alvarez to the mystery player Florentino Perez mentioned when promising a €150 million bid. Media outlets had also highlighted Vitinha, Joao Neves and Michael Olise as possible targets. Florentino Perez has promised a €150 million bid, with the offer slated for Tuesday.
Hidalgo told Mundo Deportivo that his camp has no information on the matter. He added that no one has approached them about a deal with Real Madrid.
For Barcelona, the denial means Alvarez’s stated priority to join the Camp Nou remains unchanged. Atletico Madrid’s resistance is still the main barrier to the transfer. Barcelona will be relieved that, for now, a new rival has not entered the race.
