Real Madrid drops interest in Julian Alvarez after initial bid
Summary

Real Madrid President Florentino Perez confirmed no further bids for Julian Alvarez after a €150m offer was rejected by Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid is reportedly shifting focus to other targets, having originally considered several players for acquisition. Arsenal appears to be in a strong position if Alvarez decides to leave Atletico, particularly after PSG withdrew their interest last month.
