Immediately after the presidential elections, Florentino Perez and his board made a €150 million bid to Atletico Madrid for Julian Alvarez.
Some interpreted the move to be Perez’s idea to wriggle away from his promise of a Galactico signing, while others saw it as a deliberate and engineered move to prevent Alvarez’s transfer to Barcelona.
Ultimately, talks over the player’s departure stalled after that development as Los Rojiblancos also made it clear that they do not consider his sale a possibility.
Now, however, matters have resumed in some style as Alvarez himself came out to speak and admit his wish to leave his club after Argentina’s game last night.
“The best thing for me is a transfer, and I want to fulfil my dream,” he told the media after the game, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
