Barcelona have spent almost the entire transfer window trying to sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid.
Los Colchoneros have maintained the same resolute stance since then: the 26-year-old Argentine is not for sale this summer, especially to Barça.
The Catalan club submitted their first bid for the player before the World Cup, but negotiations have not moved an inch since.
Barça briefly flirted with options like Joao Pedro and Eli Junior Kroupi, with Lautaro Martinez's name also being floated around in recent days.
Now, according to Gerard Romero, Hansi Flick is not interested in pursuing Victor Osimhen, Dusan Vlahovic or Lautaro Martinez.
