There is little doubt about which club intends to win the summer transfer window. Barcelona have already secured Anthony Gordon, the striker both Bayern Munich and Liverpool coveted, now the La Liga giant is going all in to go into the World Cup period with Julian Alvarez in the squad as well. This is the player Arsenal and PSG both have high on their wish list.
On Friday, the hyperactive transfer journalist Romano reported that Barcelona have made a bid of 100 million euros for Atletico Madrid. The reaction from the Atletico management was the following: “HERE WE GO! We have sent a fax to FC Barcelona with our transfer offer: Four tickets to the Bad Bunny concert tomorrow, an annual subscription to the ABC newspaper and a bag of sunflower seeds”. We are eagerly awaiting their response so that we can prepare to publish it,” Atletico Madrid wrote on their social channels on Friday.

Then followed another message from Atletico, accusing Barcelona in several areas of spreading fake news.
The Barcelona management should not wear this.
According to Mundo Deportivo , several high-ranking sources at the club have assured that the offer of 100 million euros was sent via email to Atletico on Friday. Barcelona have no need to continue the mud throwing in the media, but the club will make a professional attempt to sign Alvarez, it is said.
