According to Spanish programme <\/span>El Larguero<\/em><\/i><\/a>, Barcelona deliberately held back the transfer budget they had set aside for a marquee number nine. Journalist Santi Ovalle explained that the club’s hierarchy refused to compromise on their primary target, opting instead to save their cash for a renewed assault in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They\u2019ve saved the money they were going to spend on a top No. 9 to go after him again,” Ovalle detailed. “Barca doesn\u2019t want Julian for this transfer window; they want him for a five-year project.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Ovalle further highlighted the club’s unwavering belief in the Atletico star’s pedigree. “They are convinced, as we\u2019ve been saying in recent days, that Julian is better than any other striker. So they\u2019re saving the money they were going to spend on a new one to come back and explore the transfer market.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
