Atlético de Madrid is on the verge of facing the most critical moment of the season, coinciding with the three main competitions. In fact, this week will be one of the few in which they can have some rest before starting the carousel of matches. However, one of the most surprising news of the last week is not related to sports, but to a supposed departure.
Something common in big teams are the different rumors both of arrivals and possible departures, especially as summer approaches. Even so, the latest information has had very little impact on the colchonero team, which is normal considering the current scenario. Moreover, it's hard to think that Simeone is willing to part with one of his most important footballers with so much future ahead.
No Concern at Atlético de Madrid
At the Metropolitano, there is a lot of calm with the moment the red-and-white team is experiencing, despite their recent setbacks in LaLiga. For now, FC Barcelona could overtake them in the standings if they manage to defeat Rayo Vallecano tonight at Montjuïc, tying with Real Madrid. However, news that has surprised the fans is related to an exorbitant offer that would have reached Atlético de Madrid.
Specifically, it would be 150 million euros that Manchester United would have offered to secure the services of Julián Alvarez next summer market. This has been revealed by Okdiario, as the Argentine would be the piece on which Rubén Amorim would want to build the future of the Old Trafford team. Despite this, there is no such intention, and they wouldn't be willing at the club to let go of who is set to become the franchise player.
Top Scorer of the Season
So far, the world champion remains the top scorer of the season, having scored 17 goals, six of them in the Champions League. He is ahead of both Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sorloth, potentially surpassing his best season at Manchester City. He is very close to achieving it, as under Pep Guardiola's orders, he would score 19 goals before saying farewell to the Premier League.
It is clear that he is already irreplaceable in Simeone's plans, having all the chances to become the reference for Atlético de Madrid in the future. Even so, the colchonero fans demand more contribution from him in the league championship, as they need his best version to compete for the title. It is difficult to improve what has been seen so far, as everything points to him being able to surpass the good records of both Luis Suárez and Álvaro Morata (21 goals).
