Julian Alvarez was able to take advantage of this truce to breathe a little. Far from the difficult context of Madrid, where supporters colchoneros shouted at him despite a slight return to calm during the last matches, the Argentine striker also scored his first goal of the season, during his selection’s heavy victory against Burkina Faso (7-0). The opportunity to gain a little confidence in view of Atlético’s next important events, with Diego Simeone still counting on him despite the summer soap opera.
However, his future at the Metropolitano still seems uncertain. FC Barcelona has already made it known that it will not go on the attack again for him, especially since the explosion of Raphinha at the number 9 position and the good performances of the team’s other offensive players at the start of the season clearly close the door for him. The intentions of Arsenal, interested this summer, are still unknown.
Getting back together with Atlético
And A.S. explains that the Atlético striker is at the heart of a new battle behind the scenes. This time it does not concern the Madrid club or FC Barcelona, but the world of agents. And for good reason, the media indicates that Julian Alvarez has ended his collaboration with his historic agent Fernando Hidalgo, who had been widely criticized by the leaders of Atlético in particular. For many observers, it was the agent who forced his client’s hand to force his departure. Several agents therefore fight a battle to recover it.
And it is Javier Pastore, his compatriot, who would be in pole position, he who already manages the interests of players like Enzo Fernandez. The former PSG player therefore has a good chance of recovering the player, under contract in Madrid until 2030. The objective of this change of agent is mainly to reconcile with Atlético de Madrid and its leaders. The relationship between the player and his management had deteriorated considerably, and this is obviously not an ideal situation for both parties. There is therefore clearly a desire for reconciliation, especially on the player’s side. Looking for a transfer in the near future? We will know soon…
