Timeline of Alvarez transfer saga...

April 28: Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone says Arsenal, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in Alvarez. He had been asked about Arsenals interest at a press conference ahead of Atleticos Champions League semi-final first leg against the Gunners.

In a string of posts on social media, Atletico also mocked up parody images of Barcas star players in their kit. One image of Raphinha was accompanied by the words: "Don't believe everything you see, especially if it's related to Barca."

Atletico sarcastically posted information about bids for Barcas star players, including one for Lamine Yamal made up of Bad Bunny concert tickets, an annual streaming subscription and bag of sunflower seeds. Barcelona declined to comment on Atleticos statements.

June 9: Real Madrid release a statement saying they have had a 129m bid for Alvarez rejected by Atletico in which they highlighted the good relations between both clubs and the players 429m release clause. By doing this, Real Madrid set a minimum price for the player.

June 9: Atletico responded by saying they did not study nor consider any offer for Alvarez and joked that Real Madrid make us laugh even more than Barcelona does.

June 22: Alvarez says he wants to leave Atletico Madrid and fulfil his dream, which is understood to be a move to Barcelona, after Argentinas 2-0 win over Austria at the World Cup.
