Atletico Madrid say they will not enter into negotiations with Barcelona for striker Julian Alvarez, who is considering a move to Arsenal.

Alvarez did not train on Wednesday and Thursday because of illness after a poor night's sleep on Tuesday, not because of anything related to his future.

The 26-year-old wants to join Barca, who again went public with their desire to sign him on Wednesday in an interview with president Joan Laporta.
