Alvarez Future: Atletico Sets August Deadline
28 May
Summary
- Atletico Madrid has issued an ultimatum to Julian Alvarez regarding his future.
- Clubs interested in Alvarez must submit offers before August 15th.
- Alvarez has four years left on his contract, despite turning down an extension.
Atletico Madrid has reportedly issued an ultimatum to Julian Alvarez concerning his future with the club. Interested parties, including Arsenal and Barcelona, have been told to submit any offers by August 15th. This deadline aims to prevent a prolonged transfer saga as the 2026-27 La Liga season approaches.
Alvarez, who has impressed since joining from Manchester City, has contributed 49 goals and 17 assists in 106 appearances. Despite his performance, the club's lack of recent titles has led to speculation about his long-term future. The Argentina international has reportedly turned down a contract extension, although he still has four years remaining on his current deal.
Atletico's initial investment in Alvarez was around £81.5m, and his enhanced reputation suggests they would demand a higher fee now. While Barcelona may find such a price tag prohibitive, Arsenal might consider a move if Alvarez becomes available within the £80m bracket.
