Atlético de Madrid has swiftly reacted to Real Madrid’s offer for player Julián Álvarez. In a humorous tweet, the Atlético club referenced the statement from their rivals regarding the bid, showcasing their amusement.
Real Madrid’s Ambitious Bid
Last week, Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Pérez, announced a potential offer of €150 million for one of the best players in the world. This amount would set a record for transfers to the club. Pérez excluded names like Olise, Haaland, and Kane, ultimately revealing the targeted player as Julián Álvarez.
Atlético’s Response
In an official statement, Atlético de Madrid dismissed the proposal and highlighted the significance of Álvarez’s contract. The Argentine player is bound to Atlético until 2030, with a release clause set at €500 million.
A Comedic Retort on Social Media
- Shortly after, Atlético published a second tweet, playfully addressing Real Madrid’s statement.
- The message referenced a video of Pope Leo XIV’s visit to the Santiago Bernabéu, suggesting it was edited to exclude his mention of Atlético.
- Additionally, the tweet humorously noted, “You make us laugh even more than Barcelona.”
Further Clarifications
Continuing the comedic tone, Atlético made it clear that they appreciated nothing from Real Madrid’s proposal. They reiterated, “We neither study nor assess any offers for Julián.”
Final Remarks on Player Transfers
The series of tweets concluded with a pointed message regarding player transfers. Atlético urged Real Madrid to stop “stealing” players from their academy, with a cheeky sign-off, “Many thanks, @realmadrid!”
This interaction highlights the ongoing rivalry between the two clubs and their engagement on social media, using humor to address transfer market maneuvers.
