The Atletico Madrid director of men's professional football spoke to Movistar Plus+ ahead of Sunday's LaLiga meeting between both sides at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
Relations between Atletico and Barcelona had become strained during the summer following Barcelona's interest in signing Argentine forward Julián Álvarez.
The transfer saga generated tension between the two clubs, with Atletico determined to keep their influential striker despite Barcelona's interest.
However, Alemany indicated that the situation between the clubs had improved, suggesting that normal institutional relations had been restored.

Speaking before the match, Alemany addressed questions about the relationship between the two clubs and explained that there were no major issues at the moment.
"Relations between the clubs are correct. We shared the official directors' lunch peacefully and without any problems," Alemany said.
His comments suggest that Atletico and Barcelona are putting the summer disagreements behind them and focusing on their respective football ambitions.
The relationship between the two institutions had attracted attention in recent months, particularly after the transfer discussions involving Julián Álvarez.

Alemany also expressed confidence in Álvarez's current performances, dismissing any concerns about the Argentine striker's form.
According to the Atletico director, the forward has been performing at a high level in recent weeks, and the club is counting on him to continue making a difference in attack.
"Julián has been showing a notable level for weeks. His current performance is optimal. We have his best version," Alemany stated.
The comments underline Atletico's continued trust in the former Manchester City forward, who remains an important part of the club's attacking plans.
Atletico and Barcelona Expect Another Difficult Battle
Alemany also discussed the competitive nature of recent meetings between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

The Atletico official acknowledged that both clubs have different football philosophies but believes the contrast in their playing styles regularly produces entertaining matches.
He also highlighted the intensity of the current LaLiga title race, suggesting that the eventual champions could need as many as 97 or 98 points to secure the trophy.
For Atletico, maintaining consistency and collecting maximum points will be crucial if they hope to challenge for the league title.
Meanwhile, Barcelona arrived at the Metropolitano as one of the leading contenders, making Sunday's encounter particularly important for both teams.
Alemany's comments indicate that, despite the disagreements surrounding Julián Álvarez during the summer, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are working towards maintaining cordial relations off the pitch.
