B | 08月26日讯 据《世界体育报》报道，昨日拉波尔塔和巴萨高层在球队基地进行了会议，重点关注前锋的签约，他们的目标显然是阿尔瓦雷斯。昨天早上9:30，拉波尔塔抵达甘伯训练基地，在球队训练结束后，他与德科、弗里克、博扬等人会面，商讨在转会市场想下一步计划。对于阿尔瓦雷斯，巴萨的立场是会为这位阿根廷前锋探索一切可能的转会方案，俱乐部很清楚小蜘蛛为此做出的努力，并表示不会放弃他。但截至目前，马竞拒绝将小蜘蛛出售给巴萨的立场非常坚定，巴萨是否会在未来几天采取行动还有待观察。由于马竞的态度没有动摇，巴萨也在探索其他可能的替代方案。
C | 但目前各方普遍认为，如果阿尔瓦雷斯今夏无法加盟，巴萨也无意启动B计划，可能会在明年一月再次尝试。如果小蜘蛛能够顶住压力，巴萨方面明确表示将继续支持他。阿尔瓦雷斯是弗里克和德科明确要求的目标，巴萨将竭尽全力签下他。
