The World Cup-winner has been frequently linked with a move to Camp Nou this year, despite constant denials from President Enrique Cerezo that Alvarez is available for a move. He is also under contract until 2030.

Arsenal, Los Colchonerosâ opponents in the Champions League semi-finals, and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested, but Barcelona would be his priority, according to those reports. In response, Atletico intend to double his salary in a new contract to allay any doubts about his future.

âIt depends on how you look at it; it can be better or worse. In the Copa against Barcelona, ââwe did well playing at home first with that 4-0 win, and against Club Brugge, we started away.
