Argentine striker Julian Alvarez, an Atletico Madrid player, raised questions about his future with the team, after his ambiguous answer to a question about the possibility of leaving the club during the upcoming summer transfer period. “I don’t know, maybe yes, maybe no, you never know,” Alvarez said.
These statements came after Alvarez’s distinguished performance in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League, where he contributed greatly to his team’s 5-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, by scoring two goals and assisting another goal. Some news had linked his name to moving to Barcelona to strengthen the attacking line with the imminent departure of Robert Lewandowski, but the player downplayed the importance of this news and described it as “merely exaggerated rumors.”
Alvarez stressed his feeling of comfort within the ranks of Atletico Madrid, declaring: “I am happy here and I only think about my daily work. I did not say anything bad about the club. I am grateful to them.” It should be noted that the player participated this season in 41 matches in various competitions, during which he was able to score 16 goals and assist 7 other goals.
