Atlético Madrid Rules Out Julián Álvarez Sale: 'Not Even for 200 Million Euros'

Atlético Madrid has shut down any possibility of selling star forward Julián Álvarez, with CEO Miguel Ángel Gil Marín declaring the club will not entertain offers, even those reaching 200 million euros. This firm stance aims to quell speculation linking the Argentine attacker with a move away from the Spanish capital.

Gil Marín personally conveyed Atlético's unwavering decision to Álvarez himself, his representatives, and FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta. The club's leadership believes Álvarez is the perfect fit for their system and is crucial to their future success. "We have no doubt that Atlético is the place in the world for Julián and that Julián is the perfect center forward for Atlético Madrid," Gil Marín stated.

“

We have no doubt that Atlético is the place in the world for Julián and that Julián is the perfect center forward for Atlético Madrid. We want to continue counting on him.

Despite reported interest, including from Barcelona, Atlético is resolute. Álvarez is under contract until June 30, 2030, with a substantial release clause set at 500 million euros. The club's message is clear: they are committed to keeping their prized asset and are not considering any transfer, regardless of the financial incentive offered.

“

Our response is infinite: We do not want to transfer him, we do not accept the offer of 100 million euros, nor will we accept one of 150 or one of 200.
