Atletico President Disappoints Barcelona with Statement on Álvarez

Atletico Madrid has made it clear they have no intention of selling Julián Álvarez at this time. The World Cup winner has been a transfer target for Barcelona.

“Álvarez is an Atletico Madrid player, not just for the past season, but for many more to come,” stated President Enrique Cerezo emphatically during his participation in the ICAD international seminar, “Sport in a Global Context.”

The club president even discussed strengthening Diego Simeone’s squad: “We are constantly working to attract the best players to our team. And with La Liga starting in August, there’s still plenty of time to scout, observe, and sign players. We had a very good season, and now we are in the process of preparing for the next one. When there’s news regarding transfers, we will announce it.”
