Atletico Fans Call for Alvarez Sale as Osimhen Transfer Link Grows

1 / 3

Atletico Madrid supporters have protested against Julian Alvarez amid reports that the Argentine forward wants to leave for Barcelona. Fans displayed “Julian Out” banners and jeered him during the club’s opening La Liga match. Alvarez has been a key player for Atletico since arriving from Manchester City in 2024, scoring 49 goals and providing 17 assists in 106 appearances. However, his reported transfer request has strained his relationship with sections of the fanbase. Diego Simeone has maintained that Alvarez remains part of his plans. If Atletico eventually agree to sell him, the club could intensify interest in Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen before the transfer window closes.
