1 / 2

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone says the club does not intend to sell Julian Alvarez this summer, despite reported interest from Barcelona and Arsenal. Alvarez is said to want a move before the transfer window closes, with Barcelona reportedly his preferred destination. Arsenal have also been linked with the Argentina striker. Atletico president Miguel Angel Gil Marin has maintained that the club will only consider a sale if Alvarez’s €500 million release clause is activated. Simeone says the club remains focused on helping the forward develop and expects him to stay for the 2026/27 season.

Simeone's stance is clear, but the reported interest from two major clubs makes this one worth watching until the window shuts.

A firm public statement does not always settle a transfer. If the player truly wants out, Atletico may still need to consider their options.

Atletico should set a clear valuation and plan around Alvarez either way, rather than letting late-window speculation disrupt preparations.
