Atletico Madrid’s unveiling of their new home kit for the 2026-27 season has generated unexpected discussion, with much of the focus falling not on the players featured in the campaign, but on one notable absentee.
The club presented their traditional red-and-white striped shirt with Marcos Llorente, Marc Pubill, Giuliano Simeone and Alex Baena taking centre stage.
However, the absence of Julian Alvarez has become a talking point, especially given the uncertainty surrounding his future.
With Barcelona continuing to monitor the Argentine forward’s situation, fans have interpreted his omission from the promotional material as another indication that his long-term future at the Metropolitano remains unresolved.
The decision not to include Alvarez in Atletico Madrid’s kit launch has inevitably attracted attention.
