Julian Alvarez's name has been in the news for some time now, with Barcelona having identified him as their top transfer target and other top-tier clubs keeping a close eye on his situation!
However, Atlético Madrid has been clear from the start of this summer, emphasizing that it is not willing to sell him.
The “Roji-Blancos’” coach, Diego Simeone, also weighed in on this… hot-button issue, stressing that the situation is clear, with the club having made its decision and with him personally being very happy to have the player at his disposal throughout the new season.
“The situation is very clear. The club has made a decision, which Miguel Ángel explained very well. From a competitive standpoint, we’re very pleased to have a player like Julián, and we’ll help him continue to develop and improve,” the Atlético coach said.
Simeone backs Julián: "The situation is very clear. The club has made a decision that Miguel Ángel has explained very well; from a sporting standpoint, we’re very happy to have a player like him."
"We’ll help him continue to grow and improve."
