Atletico Madrid Sets €150 Million Price for Julián Álvarez Amid Transfer Speculation
Atletico Madrid is reportedly willing to sell forward Julián Álvarez only if Arsenal offers €150 million, a figure unlikely to be met. Álvarez, who expressed a desire to leave to pursue his dream, is reportedly interested in joining Barcelona, but Atletico opposes selling to their La Liga rivals. During a recent match against Villarreal, Álvarez was booed by Atletico fans and left the pitch alone at full-time, a move the club said was pre-arranged. The transfer saga continues amid fan unrest.
