Why It Matters
Julián Álvarez, a 26-year-old forward, has been with Atlético Madrid since 2024 and is currently recovering from an ankle injury while participating in the World Cup.
Julián Alvarez has said he wants to leave Atlético Madrid to “fulfil his dream” following reported interest from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
“I spoke with people at the club [Atlético], with those I had to speak with, and the best thing for everyone is a transfer and I want to fulfil my dream,” Alvarez said after Argentina’s World Cup Group J win over Austria.
“It’s not the time to talk about this, but I also can’t hide it. I try to be an honest person.”
Weeks earlier, Atlético rejected a €150m (£129.4m) offer from Real Madrid for the 26-year-old forward, according to media reports. Spanish and Argentinian media have also reported interest in the player’s services from Barcelona and PSG.
Alvarez, who joined the La Liga club from Manchester City in 2024 in a deal worth up to €95m (£81.5m), said his future remains undecided. “It’s not known when it will be resolved,” he told reporters at Dallas Stadium.
Reuters has contacted Atlético for comment.
The striker has been recovering from an ankle injury and has come off the bench in both of Argentina’s matches at the World Cup.
