Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has admitted that the club could face a late shock in the transfer market regarding the future of star striker Julian Alvarez. The Argentine international, who has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona and Arsenal, was a high-profile absentee during Atleti's recent La Liga victory.
Atletico Madrid have reportedly issued a final ultimatum to Julian Alvarez, giving him a deadline to decide whether to seal a move to Arsenal or stay at the Metropolitano. The Argentine forward continues to weigh up his options amidst a period of significant uncertainty, having already been informed that a potential transfer to Barcelona is off the table.
Julian Alvarez has categorically rejected a return to Manchester City despite Enzo Maresca's side expressing interest in re-signing the Atletico Madrid striker. The Argentine remains locked in a tense summer transfer saga as he prioritises staying in Spain over moving back to the Premier League.
Manchester City have made a surprise entry into the intense transfer race for Julian Alvarez. The English champions are exploring a sensational loan return for the Argentine striker, actively looking to hijack Arsenal's massive proposed deal for the Atletico Madrid star in the frantic final days of the summer transfer window.
