Atlético de Madrid has always had close ties with Argentinian players, even long before Simeone's arrival. Many of the club's greatest players in its history are from that South American country. Therefore, it's not surprising that it's a market that is regularly monitored by the sporting management in search of new talent.
For example, Julián Alvarez was already in the spotlight before leaving River Plate for Manchester City , just as happened with other players. Other great footballers, who had also been monitored, ended up arriving in Europe, but to sign for other teams. There is one who has always caused a certain expectation at the Metropolitano and whose path hasn't been closed yet.
Julian Alvarez Acts as a Representative
The Argentine striker has already fully adapted to Atlético de Madrid , scoring seven goals and being the top scorer. Before arriving in Spain he was already the idol of a large part of the fans, as he arrived as a world star. Although it wasn't easy, Simeone tried him in different positions until he found his best position on the field.
He is already an undisputed part of the attacking duo alongside Antoine Griezmann and is destined to be the media beacon of the Colchoneros. However, beyond the sporting aspect, it's clear that a transfer of this nature attracts the attention of other players. During the last international break, it was the Rojiblancos themselves who published a surprising message on social media .
While the world champion was away with his country, a picture was published with one of his great friends. it's Enzo Fernández , current Chelsea midfielder and an old target for the Madrid club a few years ago. His arrival in Europe was a real success, lasting only a few months at Benfica after leaving Buenos Aires that same summer.
The next red and white miracle
Both Julián Alvarez and Enzo Fernández left River Plate at the same time for two different European clubs. After showing great form at the World Cup in Qatar , the midfielder was signed by Chelsea for more than 120 million euros . However, his adventure in England hasn't been as good as that of his faithful friend, receiving much more criticism.
The London club is in a continuous process of change as it tries to fight for all the titles and return to the Champions League . Nothing would please the Atletico striker more than to achieve the arrival of one of his great teammates to the Metropolitano . Right now it's a more than unrealistic transfer, but Atletico Madrid already know what it's like to do business with Chelsea and close very complicated transfers.
