Barcelona midfield maestro Pedri González has publicly endorsed his club’s ambitious pursuit of Atlético Madrid forward Julián Álvarez.
Speaking exclusively to Teledeporte from Spain’s 2026 World Cup training camp ahead of their final group stage fixture against Uruguay, the Spanish international openly expressed his deep admiration for the clinical Argentine attacker, who recently requested a transfer to secure his dream move.

“It’s true that I love Julián as a player,” Pedri stated, before cautioning that “many things have to happen for that to take place; if it happens, then welcome.”
