Argentina Forward Julián Álvarez Says He Wants Out of Atletico Madrid

The Argentina forward said a move would be best for everyone as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Arsenal circle after a rejected €150 million bid.

  • On Monday, Argentina forward Julian Alvarez announced he wants to leave Atletico Madrid after Argentina's 2-0 World Cup win over Austria in Texas. He told reporters a transfer is the "best thing for everyone."
  • Since signing from Manchester City in 2024 for €75 million, Alvarez has impressed during two seasons in the Spanish capital. He has scored 49 goals and provided 17 assists in 106 matches for the club.
  • Atletico president Enrique Cerezo stated last week he had no indication Alvarez wanted to leave after two trophyless seasons. Cerezo warned any suitor must meet the forward's 500-million-euro release clause.
  • Real Madrid previously had a €150 million bid rejected earlier this month. Barcelona now leads the race to sign the forward as they seek a replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
  • With his public demand for a transfer, Alvarez is now one of the most sought-after players in Europe. He stated he wants to "fulfill my dream" and does not want to hide his intentions.
