Simeone: Julián Álvarez? It's clear, we'll help him grow | OneFootball

Amid all the Rodri turmoil, the battle between Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona over Julián Álvarez is still simmering in the background.

With the odds firmly in the rojiblancos’ favor, Diego Pablo Simeone spoke in Seoul ahead of this Sunday’s friendly against Manchester City.

These were his words on the 'Julián Case': "The situation is very clear, the club made a decision that Miguel Ángel explained very well. We are very happy with Julián, and from a sporting point of view we will help him continue to grow, continue to improve, and continue to give us what he has given us over these two years, which was a lot."

He was also asked about Julián’s gestures toward Barça, with the Griezmann situation from the past in the background: "We have some previous episodes, we already saw what happened with Griezmann. I don’t see any other path than to keep working on the football side, as we must, and try to help, as we have done over these two years."

The coach has once again made it clear that the Argentine forward is staying.
