What happened. Atlético Madrid's board has unanimously ruled out any negotiations with Barcelona for Julián Álvarez, with CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín delivering a strong public rejection of their interest.

Gil Marín accused Barcelona of dishonesty and lack of ethics.
Álvarez has expressed his desire to leave, but Atlético prefer he stays.
Arsenal have also been linked with a move for the forward.

“Our intention and my personal dream is for him to stay with us, to remain at Atlético.”
— Miguel Ángel Gil Marín

The transfer window closes Tuesday, but Atlético's stance suggests Álvarez will not move to Barcelona.
