Julian Álvarez has been at the center of transfer rumors suggesting he is “being lined up” for a departure, with Arsenal reportedly interested in bringing him to London.
The Atlético fanbase has been enraged by what they read and hear every day about the Argentine forward, and during the 0-0 draw against Villarreal, Álvarez realized that he no longer has a future with the “Roji-Blancos.”
The crowd booed him loudly, and he didn’t stay on the field at the end to applaud the fans like the rest of his teammates did. As he made his way to the locker room, the boos nearly shook the stadium.
