The signings made by Atlético de Madrid's sports management last summer are bearing fruit. The high investment by the red-and-white club has made the team one of the most feared in all of Europe.
The great star is the brilliant signing, Julián Alvarez. The Argentine forward is carrying the team on his shoulders in many matches and is already an idol among the fans. A surprising piece of news has arrived about him, catching many fans off guard.
Manchester United Wants Julián Álvarez at All Costs
Since his arrival at Atlético de Madrid in August, Julián Álvarez has proven to be one of the most successful signings in recent years. Coming from Manchester City, the Argentine has earned the respect of the red-and-white fans and has become an essential player in Simeone's scheme.
This spectacular performance hasn't gone unnoticed in the Premier League, and Manchester United is willing to break the market to acquire the Argentine star. According to OKDiario, the Red Devils have put 120 million pounds (150 million euros) on the table with the intention of convincing Gil Marín to accept the transfer.
Julián Álvarez: Happy in Madrid and Key for Simeone
Despite the million-pound offer, Atlético de Madrid has no intention of selling Julián Álvarez. The Argentine arrived at the Metropolitano for 75 million euros fixed plus 20 in variables, and his impact has been immediate. In 34 official matches, he has scored 16 goals and provided 3 assists, establishing himself as an indisputable offensive reference.
Beyond the numbers, his connection with the fans and his commitment to Simeone's project have been decisive. The player himself has made it clear that he feels comfortable and happy in Madrid and has no intention of returning to England. The only option is for fate to cross him in a Champions League clash against his former team, Guardiola's Manchester City.
Atlético Isn't Considering Selling
The offer from Manchester United is tempting from an economic standpoint, but Atlético de Madrid considers Julián Álvarez a key piece for the team's future. Additionally, with the possible departure of Antoine Griezmann to MLS, the Argentine forward would be poised as the absolute leader of the colchonero attack.
