Having publicly pushed for an Atletico Madrid exit during the World Cup, Julian Alvarez is now back in team training, yet Atletico Madrid remain firm on their stance: they will not sell him. Atletico Madrid beat reporter Pedro Fullana discussed Alvarez’s first day back at the club on Cadena SER radio.
The journalist stated that everything is currently unfolding according to Atletico Madrid’s plan. Julian Alvarez arrived at the training ground on time for fitness tests before heading to the gym for specialised training to prepare for group‑team sessions.
Pedro Fullana also shared the dressing‑room perspective on Julian Alvarez. Teammates are taking the transfer saga in stride and working to create a positive training environment so Alvarez can feel relaxed, calm and comfortable.
Should Alvarez stay at the club, the whole Atletico Madrid squad is ready to fully back him on the sporting front, helping him hit his best form and enjoy his football at Atletico Madrid. Everyone recognises he is a key player and will do their utmost to support him on the pitch.
Therefore, his teammates also believe the wisest course of action for Alvarez is to face his previous inappropriate remarks, acknowledge his mistake and make a public apology, before turning the situation around with his on‑field performances.
In short, there is no bad blood inside the Atletico Madrid dressing‑room, and everyone is willing to offer Alvarez support. Publicly, however, teammates recognise the saga stems from the player’s own comments and consider a voluntary apology the best solution.
It appears the final outcome will require Julian Alvarez to own up to his mistakes and seek forgiveness. For now, Atletico Madrid have zero intention of opening negotiations with Barcelona, leaving Alvarez staying with Atletico Madrid for the new season as the only viable outcome.
