'0% chance'

Atletico set a transfer deadline amid the dual interest, and The Independent noted a furious statement from Alvarez himself. ESPN confirmed the club’s stance, and Sky Sports quoted the ‘zero per cent’ figure as the official line. The impasse directly involves Alvarez, whose future hangs between two of Europe’s top clubs.

Barcelona fans have expressed frustration, with Al Jazeera describing boos directed at Alvarez during an Atletico draw. The player missed a training session citing illness, according to ESPN, adding uncertainty to his condition. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s waiting wings are cited by Sky Sports as a factor pressuring both clubs to resolve the stalemate before the deadline.

Upcoming developments will hinge on whether Atletico proceeds with the set deadline and whether Barcelona or Arsenal can present a decisive offer. Coverage suggests that any official confirmation from either buying club or a statement from Alvarez would shape the next phase of the saga. Observers will watch for a formal announcement from Atletico Madrid or a transfer filing in the coming days.
