Atlético de Madrid’s stance amid bids for Julián Álvarez | OneFootball

The Colchonero have no urgent need to sell him and are already said to be working on negotiations with the Argentine striker.

With the European transfer window on the horizon, the name of Julián Álvarez has already started to appear among the top targets of several clubs. However, Atlético Madrid maintain a clear stance: they have no urgent need to sell him and are already working to keep the Spider.

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, who is close to the main negotiations in European football, so far no club has opened formal talks with the Spanish side over the former River and Manchester City forward.

Among the teams interested in the Argentina attacker is Paris Saint-Germain, which is preparing a multimillion-euro offer, but the Córdoba-born player and his family are very comfortable with their current life in Madrid, an important factor in this situation.

Inside the red-and-white club, they believe there is no financial need to sell the striker, especially after the financial backing received from the Apollo group. That situation has strengthened the Colchonero’s position even further in the face of any possible negotiation. “We could open the door for them to come and negotiate, but there’s nothing to be done. He is a completely untouchable player and indispensable to the team.”, sources at the Spanish club assured.

In addition to the backing from the board, Julián also has a very close relationship with Diego Simeone, a factor that is now key when it comes to thinking about his continuity. Beyond the Champions League elimination against Arsenal, Atlético do not expect the striker to seek a move in the short term.

On the pitch, the Argentine is enjoying an outstanding spell. This season he has 20 goals and nine assists in all competitions: he scored 10 goals in the Champions League, eight in La Liga and two in the Copa del Rey. In his first campaign with the club, he totaled 29 goals in 57 official matches, numbers that have cemented him as one of the central pieces of the team’s sporting project.

Before the European transfer window begins, the Spider still has the World Cup ahead of him, which will be played in the United States, Mexico and Canada starting on June 11. The player is part of Argentina’s preliminary squad for the tournament.
