Julián Álvarez faces the final days of the transfer window with a new pressure as a player of Atlético de Madrid: part of the team would prefer the Argentine forward, 26 years old, to leave the club due to the atmosphere surrounding his future. This situation comes as the deadline is set for September 1 while the club intends to keep him.

According to Álex Silvestre on El Chiringuito, several Atlético players are uncomfortable with the situation regarding Álvarez and believe that prolonging it could affect the team's daily routine. The journalist states that some teammates do not understand why the club does not facilitate his departure if the player maintains his desire to leave.

The Atlético de Madrid Changing Room Comes into Play

The novelty is not in Julián Álvarez's stance, but in the internal reaction. Silvestre claims that within the squad, they have noticed the forward being more subdued in training and also during his performance against Villarreal, where some teammates felt he was not at his usual level.

This scenario adds a new factor for Atlético de Madrid. So far, the sports management had held a firm line: the striker has a contract until 2030 with a 500 million euros release clause. Miguel Ángel Gil Marín has also reiterated that the club counts on him and does not consider getting rid of one of its main attacking assets.

According to El Chiringuito, the stance of the changing room points in a different direction. Part of the players would prefer to resolve the issue before the end of the transfer window if Álvarez remains determined to leave. The priority would be to avoid prolonging the uncertainty during the LaLiga season.

Cholo Simeone Continues to Include Julián Álvarez in His Plans

Cholo Simeone, on the other hand, acts as if Julián Álvarez will stay. The coach called him up for the game against Villarreal and publicly defended both his attitude in training and the need to protect the player from insults coming from the stands.

Among them, Arsenal appears, although any deal would require a very high amount: recent reports indicate at least 150 million euros for negotiations to begin.

Atlético also faces a scheduling issue. With few days left until the end of the transfer window, any departure would require a quick response to fill a crucial position in Cholo Simeone's attack. Additionally, LaLiga is already underway, and the time to integrate a replacement decreases with each matchday.

The next move depends on whether a proposal capable of changing Atlético de Madrid's stance emerges before September 1. Meanwhile, Julián Álvarez will remain under Simeone's orders, but the pressure no longer solely comes from the market or the stands: as per the information published, a part of the changing room believes that resolving his departure could be the most appropriate option.
