Every article: If Atletico Madrid cannot meet the little spider s title ambitions, he may leave the team, Barcelona is interested in him

Hupu, October 22 According to the Spanish media "Daily Sports", although Atletico Madrid forward Alvarez once again showed his edge in the Champions League, his team suffered a 0-4 defeat. The Argentinian striker seemed to be the only bright spot in the team's lineup - he could have scored at least two goals in this game and created a lot of opportunities. His frustrations in Madrid are growing as the season progresses.

Although the player himself has always avoided the topic of the future, his team has sent a signal: If the team building plan of the Sheets Legion cannot match the championship ambitions, transfer will become an inevitable choice. Barcelona are paying close attention to developments, and this potential departure may open a signing window for Camp Nou.

Last summer, Alvarez was convinced by Simeone's plan and landed at the Metropolitan Stadium with a transfer fee of 80 million euros. He chose to leave Manchester City, which was not the absolute main force, to achieve his goal of competing in La Liga. He originally expected to continue to grow in the carefully crafted championship lineup. Atletico Madrid spent 175 million euros to rebuild its lineup this summer, but new aid Baena and others have been unable to integrate and have never been able to provide Alvarez with an ideal offensive partner.

The current Atletico Madrid team is obviously unable to compete with the two La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. The disastrous defeat at Arsenal in the Champions League further confirms the reality gap. The camera captured Alvarez's desperate look at 0-3 and 0-4. Simeone's behavior of keeping him on the field until the end was like a microcosm of his situation this season. This was not the first time he publicly expressed his frustration. He had questioned the coach's decision-making when he was substituted against Mallorca.

The players and their team plan to stay put until 2026. They are grateful to Atletico Madrid for their kindness, but they are increasingly convinced that they must change careers to achieve a career leap. The club refuses to sell and is even preparing to renew the contract with a salary increase. The €500 million termination fee is an astronomical figure. However, if the player decides to leave, Atletico Madrid will eventually have to start negotiations.

There are voices within the Legion saying that it may accept an offer of 200 million euros - only Paris Saint-Germain can afford it, and the French giants do continue to inspect players. But the actual transaction price will definitely fluctuate according to the pressure exerted by the players. Although Barcelona is in desperate need of forwards and has an operating tradition (it has maintained good relations through Lenglet and other transactions in the past decade), two major prerequisites must be met for the trip to take place: the transfer fee should be reduced to a reasonable range (the German transfer price is 100 million euros), and a player exchange clause should be included.

As the season progresses, the possibility of Alvarez wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey is quietly increasing as he accumulates frustrations at the Metropolitan Stadium.
