Atletico Madrid dismisses Real Madrid's interest in Julian Alvarez

Summary

Atletico Madrid has rejected links suggesting that Real Madrid may pursue Julian Alvarez. Real Madrid President Florentino Perez confirmed plans for a significant transfer bid, rumored to be around €150m, without naming the player. Reports suggest Alvarez might be a target, but Atletico officials find the speculation laughable, stating they have had no contact regarding a transfer. Alvarez has a €500m release clause and is under contract until 2029, diminishing the likelihood of a move. Despite ongoing discussions, sources indicate that Atletico is not considering selling Alvarez, even for an elevated fee.
