Álvaro Cortés has attracted interest from several clubs in La Liga, the Segunda División, and some European leagues. According to Mundo Deportivo, some of these clubs have already contacted Barcelona to inquire about the defender.
Cortés’s performances with Barça Atlètic and his breakthrough into the first team have been key factors in the growing attention towards him. The club has summoned him for preseason preparations starting July 13 and currently does not consider his departure. Head coach Flick wants to monitor his progress closely.
However, the central defender spots are well covered with players like Cubarsí, Eric, Araujo, Christensen—who recently renewed his contract—and Gerard Martín, who also featured in this position last season. Additionally, the club has not ruled out strengthening the central defense with new signings.
Cortés’s representatives state there are no updates on his situation and that he will remain with Barcelona. The club fully trusts his qualities and views him as a significant piece for the future.
The player understands that patience is essential for a pathway into the first team but does not dismiss the possibility of a loan spell to gain experience. Both the club and player remain open to different options for the upcoming season.
