Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has seemingly ruled out the sale of star man Julian Alvarez in a message to Barcelona and other interested parties.

The 26-year-old is a wanted man despite not scoring a single goal since December 9th in Atletico’s 3-2 Champions League win over PSV.

Barcelona, along with Chelsea and Arsenal, have both been heavily linked with a move for Alvarez, but Cerezo has ruled a sale out.

"Julian is a player under contract with Atletico Madrid and he is happy," he said to Egyptian broadcaster Win Win. 

"No one from Barca has officially contacted us about signing him, and that's all there is to it."
