That leaves the Argentinian striker to postpone a meeting he considers decisive, 1 he wants to have before he considers his future in the club.<\/p>\n<p>Atletico Madrid didn\u2019t want to sell Alvarez, and the directors of the team don\u2019t consider selling him despite the fact that Barcelona are very eager to buy the Argentinian forward, along with other top European teams.<\/p>\n<p>However, Alvarez considers his future and doesn\u2019t mind continuing his career in Barcelona. The Argentinian will try to speak with the directors and the manager again to make it clear that he wants a transfer to the LaLiga champions, but at the same time, the forward doesn\u2019t want to start a crisis or force the club to sell him by making drastic steps such as a boycott.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf7 BREAKING: Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez is back and has successfully passed his medical tests upon returning to Atl\u00e9tico Madrid duty.<\/p>\n<p>He was not in the training complex.
