Alvarez is angry with the position of “Atletico” Madrid and is preparing a “sounding surprise”.

Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez’s transfer case is witnessing unprecedented tension and escalation hours before the start of the Argentina-Spain World Cup final, following the decisive statements of the Spanish club’s CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin, in which he publicly and categorically closed the door on any player. A massive wave of anger and discontent among the Argentine striker and his agents.

Catalan publication Sport has revealed that Alvarez feels very disappointed and deeply unhappy with the management of Atletico Madrid, convinced that the club is not fulfilling the clear commitment made to him a few months ago, which the player sees as a backsliding from the verbal promises and agreements reached between the two sides earlier this year.

The origin of the dispute and the current crisis goes back to last February, when Gilles Marin clearly and sincerely promised the player that he would work to facilitate his transfer and would not prevent his departure if a financial offer close to the amount presented by Barcelona at the beginning of the summer transfer window (€100 million) came. It was a promise that Alvarez saw as a clear green light to fulfill his big dream of wearing the shirt of the ancient Catalan club.

This promise was one of the main and decisive reasons that prompted the Argentine striker to come out and publicly announce during his presence at the national team camp that he felt great enthusiasm and a clear passion to achieve his “dream”; enter into any serious negotiations regarding the transaction.

However, the situation has become significantly more complicated and tense for Julián Alvarez and Barcelona after the categorical and decisive message sent by Miguel Angel Gilles Marin.

“I have absolutely no doubt that Atlético is the ideal and best place for Julian in the whole world, and that he is the ideal and most suitable striker for Atlético’s ambitious project,” clearly adding that this official and final position of the club has already been communicated directly to the player, his agent and Barcelona’s permanent message.

Instead of these statements, according to the Sport newspaper, leading to turning the page and ending the controversy over the player’s future, they have provoked intense anger and a strong reaction from the Argentine striker, who strongly believes that the current discourse of the administration is completely contrary to and openly contradicts the verbal agreement reached several months ago. renege on promises and commitments made to him.

The Catalan newspaper states that it is highly likely that Julián Alvarez will appear in public again shortly after the end of the World Cup, to clearly and sincerely confirm his desire to leave Atletico and strongly defend his right to leave, which he considers to be a prior agreement and a promise that the club gave him and which cannot be revoked so easily.

At the same time, and on the other side of the complex equation, Barcelona in no way intends to provoke a public conflict or engage in a media statement war with Atlético, nor does it intend to respond directly or indirectly to the recent statements of Miguel Angel Gil Marin, as the official position of the Catalan club remains fully consistent and has not been changed by the president of La Clube. was prepared in Barcelona, ​​then in the American city of Dallas and finally in New York during its last tour.
