🚨 LE VOYAGE DE DECO À MADRID N’ÉTAIT PAS UNIQUEMENT LIÉ À JULIÁN, UNE OFFRE SUPÉRIEURE À 100 M€ EST POSSIBLE 🗣️ @victor_nahe : « C’est vrai qu’on nous précise que ce voyage de Deco à Madrid, comme on pouvait également le soupçonner, n’était pas uniquement lié au dossier Julián, ni seulement destiné à rencontrer Fernando Hidalgo. Il a eu plusieurs autres réunions, dont on ne connaît ni les interlocuteurs ni le contenu. En revanche, il s’est bien réuni avec l’agent de Julián Álvarez afin de définir, comme nous l’expliquions hier, la feuille de route à suivre. Cette feuille de route repose essentiellement sur le fait que Julián Álvarez devra porter le plus gros du poids de l’opération, puisqu’il reprend l’entraînement la semaine prochaine. Il est vrai qu’il reprend lundi, et que l’Atlético sera à Séoul à ce moment-là, donc il ne verra peut-être pas immédiatement le Cholo. Mais lorsqu’il le rencontrera durant la semaine, Julián devra lui dire face à face, ainsi qu’aux dirigeants de l’Atlético de Madrid, et d’abord à son entraîneur, qu’il souhaite porter le maillot du FC Barcelone. À partir de là, le Barça attend que cette rencontre ait lieu la semaine prochaine. Il ne peut pas faire davantage pour le moment. Une offre de 100 millions d’euros est toujours sur la table. Si l’Atlético venait à changer d’avis à un moment donné même si Antonio Ruiz affirme qu’il n’a pas l’intention de le vendre , les deux clubs pourraient alors négocier et le Barça pourrait même revoir son offre à la hausse… » https://t.co/qkRgaZNuwh #FCBarcelona #JuliánÁlvarez #TransferNews
