The transfer window in Europe's top leagues has closed, with the Julian Álvarez saga not having a happy ending for him, as his desire to transfer to Barcelona did not materialize.
In the end, the Argentine forward remained with Atlético Madrid and is returning to the squad ahead of the difficult away match against Athletic Bilbao (September 5 – 5:15 p.m.), as confirmed by Diego Simeone in his remarks.
“Álvarez will be on the roster tomorrow. He’s training well, and we expect the best from him, just as we do from all his teammates,” he said initially, adding:
“For me, life is full of opportunities. And now Julián has an opportunity. All too often, we spend our lives judging others; we need to worry less about that and learn more. I hope this has served as a learning experience for him.”
