Alvarez WAR! Arsenal His ONLY Escape Route, Fenerbahce Want Mosquera & Electric Winger Eyed!

And can we get any business done before deadline day on the 1st of September, which is only a few days away now? The Julian Alvarez war rages on.

I'll tell you what, like, this is an absolute war at the moment of words between the two camps.

You know, let me get my phone out, right, because I had some of the quotes on there, right, because this war is really, really raging now.

And interestingly, a lot of this yesterday happened after the Champions League draw because of the Atletico were there, Real Madrid were there, all the top clubs across Europe, but those two were there.

The Atletico Madrid CEO Gil Marin, he doesn't hold back at all.

These are some of his quotes.

He said, I've been in the football world for more than 30 years.

My word is one of the few things that I have.

He says, as long as I'm CEO, Julian Alvarez will not be transferred to FC Barcelona.

That is absolutely guaranteed.

That's what he said.

He then went on again to say, this was speaking to another publication, he said, you know, after the awards, he said, we are repulsed by falsehood, false ethics, lack of transparency, lack of professionalism.

We can only insist that we are not going to negotiate with Barcelona under any circumstances, right? Very, very damning.

He also went on to say, my dream is for Julian to stay with us, but he would never, never go to FC Barcelona.

Very, very damning.

The Barcelona vice president, Rafa Eust, he sort of came back at... you know, what had been said and said, Barcelona have been a model of professionalism in the footballing world for many years.

Atletico CEO Jill Marin's statements crossed about us and Julian, a red line, and they made me angry.

There is a serious war of words going on between the two camps.

But I think one thing that you're seeing, which is really, really clear, is that they are not going to sell to Barcelona.

You know, his only escape route, Alvarez, from what you can see right now, that's if he decides to leave, is Arsenal.

They're not going to sell him to Barcelona.

If they sold him to Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, at this stage, it would be one of the biggest climb downs in footballing history.

And we see with Atletico Madrid, they have a history of not selling to Barcelona or to Real Madrid when they dig their heels in.

What is Alvarez going to do? That is a question now.

Is he just going to get his head down and say, right, I apologise, guys, and I stay at Atletico? Or is his only escape route going to be Arsenal? He didn't train yesterday with Atletico.
