Atlético Madrid forward Julián Alvarez reportedly “exploded” upon his return to the Spanish capital on Monday, still hellbent on securing a move to Barcelona before the transfer window closes.
The Argentine, who is under contract with Los Rojiblancos until June 2030, has been at the center of a hostile transfer saga this summer. Alvarez publicly expressed his desire to leave the Metropolitano during the World Cup, boldly stating he wants to “fulfill [his] dream,” assumed to mean Barcelona.
