Rodrigo de Paul is happy. The Atlético de Madrid transfer market is surprising everyone and everyone, dispelling any existing pessimism. It is true that the first half of the summer was very disappointing for the red and white fans in terms of transfers.
However, what happened with Dovbyk caused a reaction in the sports management and the additions continue to arrive.
Obviously, the most surprising has been that of Julián Álvarez , one of the most sought-after forwards in the world. Although his transfer was an almost impossible mission, Atlético de Madrid have done a lot of economic engineering to achieve his signing. In fact, it was a teammate of the striker who unofficially announced his arrival at the Metropolitano .

One of the players who has worked the most for the arrival of Julián Álvarez has been the midfielder of the Argentina national team. According to various media reports, Rodrigo de Paul , along with Nahuel Molina and Giuliano Simeone, put a lot of pressure on the attacker to sign for Atlético de Madrid. All of them have coincided in the Albiceleste calls, either with Scaloni or with Javier Mascherano.
Therefore, it is not strange that Rodrigo de Paul was one of the first to come out to welcome Julián Álvarez . He did it through his Instagram profile where he published an image of himself hugging his teammate in a national team clash. In this way, although Atlético de Madrid has not yet made it official, it is clear that the transfer is more than closed.
Not only Rodrigo de Paul, others celebrate it
The French striker is one of the most active on social networks of the red and white squad and he demonstrated it again on his Twitter . Once it had been announced that an agreement was already closed between the mattress team and Julián Álvarez, it was Antoine Griezmann who did not hesitate to go out and celebrate it. He published a series of emojis with spiders, in reference to the Argentine striker's nickname from his time at River Plate .
In this way, Atlético de Madrid 's attack is completely completed with the arrivals of Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sorloth . Simeone will have a lot of work to decide on the starters during the season, a problem he did not have last year. The red and white coach will have a large number of alternatives in a course where more games will be played than ever.
The presentation of Julián Álvarez
On the other hand, it only remains to know when the former Manchester City player will land in the Spanish capital for his presentation. From Argentina they point out that he should arrive at the Metropolitano between Monday and Tuesday of next week to formalize his transfer. Afterwards, it would be presented to the media , although it is ruled out that it will be done publicly to fans.
