Atletico Madrid and Argentina striker Julian Alvarez has made a bold decision regarding his club future just ahead of the planet’s biggest tournament.
Details: According to The Touchline, representatives of the star forward have officially requested that Barcelona’s management “cool off” and suspend any attempts or negotiations for his transfer over the next month. Alvarez has insisted that all contact be frozen at least until the conclusion of the World Cup.
The player himself is absolutely convinced that Atletico Madrid’s bosses will be open to official talks with the Catalans regarding his sale. However, for now, the Argentine marksman is completely focused on defending the World Cup title. Alvarez is adamant about not getting distracted by any transfer rumors or off-the-pitch intrigue, preferring to fully concentrate on playing for the national team.
It’s worth noting that this season, the Argentine striker has featured in 49 matches for the Madrid club across all competitions, notching 20 goals and providing 9 assists. Transfermarkt values the player at €100 million.
Reminder: Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo was forced to leave the Uruguay national team and return to his club due to injury.
