Although not many people have placed an enormous amount of stock in stories around Julian Alvarez and this summer a major movement elsewhere, the smoke continues to appear from his camp. Agent Fernando Hidalgo has only added fuel to the fire with his latest statements.
Atletico is determined that Alvarez will stay in the Metropolitano, and they see it as the cornerstone for which it must be built. Nevertheless, stories have emerged in recent weeks that the agents of Alvarez would meet with Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich.
Hidalgo gave an interview to 'Only for Cules', a Barcelona -oriented podast, and certainly left a number of interesting statements, as told by Sport.
“The daily day is Atletico. We will see how the negotiations are going. Football will always change. They will have to communicate with the club, which will assess the situation, and then it will be a negotiation between the three parties.”
Another of the giants linked to Alvarez was Barcelona. The suggestion is that they could move for him in 2026, because they want to replace Robert Lewandowski in the long term. Hidalgo suggested that Alvarez has a affection for Barcelona.
“He received many phone calls, but the position of Atletico is that Julian will remain next season. He admires Spanish clubs and has followed Leo's career since he was a child, I don't think there are many Argentines who have no preference for Barca, especially given the performance of the team this season.”
“Julian is very grateful to many members of Barca who have always talked a lot about him, such as Center-Back Pau Cubarsi. That motivates him.”
Atletico -President Enrique Cerezo has suggested that Lamine Yamal signs for Los Rojiblancos rather than Alvarez for Barcelona, ​​a sign of how clear they are in his future. Barcelona extensively explored Alvarez before his move to Manchester City, and considered moving for him before he eventually moved for the man he replaced, Ferran Torres.
