Simeone Insists Atletico Will Not Sell Julian Alvarez Despite Arsenal, Barcelona Interest
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone says the club does not intend to sell Julian Alvarez this summer, despite reported interest from Barcelona and Arsenal. Alvarez is said to want a move before the transfer window closes, with Barcelona reportedly his preferred destination. Arsenal have also been linked with the Argentina striker. Atletico president Miguel Angel Gil Marin has maintained that the club will only consider a sale if Alvarez’s €500 million release clause is activated. Simeone says the club remains focused on helping the forward develop and expects him to stay for the 2026/27 season.
