Flick is willing to give up Alvarez to strengthen the defense

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick understands that Atletico Madrid striker Julián Alvarez could significantly strengthen the team's attacking potential. However, the German specialist is ready to refuse the transfer of the Argentinian, as he believes that the "Blue Garnets" have a more important goal in the market. For Flick, the priority is to sign a quality central defender who will form a reliable link with Pau Kubarsi. In addition, the manager is convinced of the expediency of selling the left flank defender Alejandro Balde, so that the proceeds from this deal can be used to purchase a player in the center of defense. As for the attacking line, the need for the transfer of Alvarez has significantly decreased due to the successful play of Rafinha at the point of attack and the arrival of Gabriel Jesus. It was previously reported that Barcelona will try to negotiate Alvarez's transfer again in the winter, as Atletico refused to let the striker go in the summer.
