Atletico Madrid is keeping Alvarez on the team despite transfer rumors. Julian, I see him doing very well, said Romero in his presentation after joining from Tottenham for 40 million euros.
What happened?
Alvarez said this summer that it would be best for everyone if he were allowed to leave, but Atletico Madrid held firm and kept him.
Why it matters for Atletico Madrid
Coach Diego Simeone said he will try to build the team around Alvarez, while highlighting the leadership of Romero, who won the World Cup with Argentina in 2022. Atletico Madrid is in third place in La Liga with 3 points, after winning its opening match against Malaga 2-0, with 2 goals scored and 0 conceded, and its next match is against Elche at home on February 21, 2027.
