Atletico Madrid has said that club striker Julian Alvarez is not for sale. Recall that the Argentine forward has scored 49 goals in two seasons since joining from Manchester City, and fans have been reacting.
Hitting out at the “months of lies and half-truths” linking the striker with Arsenal and Barcelona, the Spanish club confirmed that they are yet to receive an offer for Alvarez.
Insisting that Julian is not for sale, Atletico Madrid added that the current back and forth in the media is very agent-driven.
It read, “There has been no offer for our player or any meeting.
We are tired of months of lies, half-truths, harassment of our players in mixed zones, and absurd questions that are all part of a pre-arranged campaign.
Julian is not for sale. There has been no offer for our player, nor any meeting. It’s just agent talk.
Julian has behaved impeccably at all times, giving his all on the pitch and demonstrating maximum professionalism. We know he didn’t cause all this noise – he has always behaved perfectly.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.
In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
