Atlético de Madrid has denied Real Madrid’s claims regarding an alleged transfer bid for Julián Alvarez. While Real Madrid expressed interest, the two clubs have conflicting views on the nature of this communication.
Real Madrid and Julián Alvarez
Recent developments have drawn attention to Real Madrid’s interest in Argentine forward Julián Alvarez. The club reportedly called Atlético de Madrid to inquire about Alvarez’s situation, but did not present a formal offer.
Response from Atlético de Madrid
- Atlético made it clear that Alvarez is not for sale.
- They insisted that any discussions about transfer fees were inappropriate as they have no intention of negotiating.
- Alvarez’s release clause stands at €500 million, applicable to all clubs.
In reaction to Real Madrid’s inquiry, Atlético stated they appreciated the contact. However, they found it puzzling that a public announcement included transfer amounts that were never discussed.
Social Media Reactions
In typical fashion, Atlético used social media to respond humorously. They remarked on the newfound willingness of Real Madrid to build a better relationship, contrasting it with previous interactions. They also jokingly mentioned ongoing practices of attempting to sign their young talent.
Despite the rivalry, Atlético sees the interest from Real Madrid as a testament to Alvarez’s talent. With a contract that keeps him at the club until 2030, they are proud to have such a coveted player in their ranks.
