Alvares wants to play in Barcelona, the coach said

Hugo Rafael Varas, the first coach of Julian Alvarez, a forward at Madrid's Atlético team, shared his thoughts about the player's future. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The 25-year-old Argentine player is often said to possibly transfer to the Barcelona team. According to Varas, this possibility is quite likely, and the player could feel comfortable at Barcelona.

He emphasized that Julian does not play in his usual position under Simeone at Atlético, and the team focuses more on defense, creating fewer opportunities in attack. Additionally, the player scores goals from penalties or long-range shots, but he is not provided with enough chances.

So far, according to rumors, Julian Alvarez might replace Robert Lewandowski at Barcelona in 2026. Robert's contract with Atlético is planned until 2030.

Therefore, clear decisions about the player's future will be made in the coming years.
