There is no doubt that we are talking about one of the major signings of the season and one of the most productive. Atlético de Madrid made a strong bet on the arrival of the Argentine player Julián Alvarez and so far, he is not disappointing them. The Calchin spider has already scored 22 goals wearing the colchonero jersey, surpassing the figures of some great players like Luis Suárez or Álvaro Morata.
The Argentine is in a state of grace and has scored six goals in the last six matches he has played with the red-and-white net. It so happens that two of them are against Real Madrid, which puts him in the global spotlight. If he is already a player with a large legion of fans and everything he does has a significant impact, scoring two goals against Madrid increases that situation.

Mediaset journalist Matias Prats was emphatic on EL DESMARQUE at midnight, broadcast on the Cuatro channel. The Madrid native analyzed the spider's performance and hinted that what the colchonero entity paid for the world champion player was literally very little. "Atlético de Madrid has swindled Manchester City with Julián Alvarez," he pointed out.
A Cheap Signing
For Mati Prats, "It has been a very cheap signing, I remember I came here in September and said, Julián Alvarez is going to be a world star at Atlético de Madrid. Julián Alvarez, yesterday on this program many said he was better than Mbappé," he concluded. Even Ricardo Reyes, presenter of EL DESMARQUE, recalled those words of the Spanish national team coach, Luis de la Fuente, who voted for the spider over Lionel Messi, Vinícius, and Mbappé.
The colchonero club paid 75 million euros plus variables for the player trained in the River Plate academy. Diego Pablo Simeone was responsible for making him see that he had to leave England and that the best thing was to join Atlético's project. The Argentine has achieved his best version alongside his compatriot; never before had Julián scored more than 21 goals in Europe, and in his first year in red-and-white, he has 22.
His Best Figure in Europe
He has not only scored a brace against Real Madrid in the three matches they have played, but he also scored a very important goal against Athletic Club last Saturday in LaLiga. That goal put Atlético as the temporary leader, although after Barça's victory against Real Sociedad, the red-and-whites are second. Today in Getafe, they will seek to add three points and regain the first place that the blaugranas took from them.
Next week, colchoneros and culés will face off in a Riyadh Air Metropolitano that will be absolutely packed. This week, Simeone's team will first face Real Madrid seeking a comeback in the Champions League and on Sunday against Barça, Julián prepares his claws.
