According to Fabrizio Romano, Atlético de Madrid has secured two high-profile signings for the upcoming season, ensuring the arrival of Argentine forward Julián Álvarez and English midfielder Conor Gallagher. These moves underscore the ambitions of the Madrid club to compete at the highest level in both national and international competitions.
Julián Álvarez, the blockbuster signing
Julián Álvarez joins Atlético for a record fee of 75 million euros fixed, with the possibility of the amount rising to 95 million if certain additional objectives are met. The Argentine forward, who will sign a five-year contract, arrives from Manchester City, where his talent had shone brightly. Álvarez's transfer becomes a historic sale for the English club, which had acquired him for just 14 million pounds. The negotiation, led by his agent Hidalgo, successfully concluded after intense discussions.
