Julian Alvarez, who has been at odds with both the club and fans, did not train with the Atletico Madrid squad today. The forward was conspicuously absent from the morning session, immediately sparking speculation. However, according to reports from “El Chiringuito,” the reason for his absence is a stomach ailment.
As is widely known, the World Cup winner is keen on a move to Barcelona, but the club's management is unwilling to sanction it. Supporters have already turned against him, booing him during the recent match against Villarreal at the Metropolitano. Despite this, Alvarez still featured in the La Liga fixture, as manager Diego Simeone remains intent on utilizing him.
The only silver lining for Alvarez is that Atletico will not be playing at home in the league for a while, which will spare him the full brunt of the fans' anger. The team faces three consecutive away games in La Liga, starting with a trip to Sevilla on Saturday.
The transfer window closes on September 1st.
