Atletico Madrid's fortunes are shaken by Alvarez's arrival.

Once considered untouchable, Julian Alvarez is surprisingly facing the possibility of leaving Atletico Madrid if a huge offer emerges this summer.

According to El Larguero , Atletico initially viewed Alvarez as an untouchable part of their long-term plans. However, the situation has now reversed, with Sporting Director Mateu Alemany reportedly willing to listen to huge offers for the 26-year-old striker.

PSG and Barcelona are two clubs closely monitoring Alvarez's situation after his impressive season at the Metropolitano Stadium. However, Atletico are quite confident of holding the advantage in negotiations because the Argentine striker's contract includes a release clause of up to 500 million euros.

The 2022 World Cup champion himself remains happy with life in the Spanish capital. However, his representatives are reportedly pushing for a transfer in search of a more ambitious project after Atletico's trophyless season.

This season, Alvarez has scored 20 goals and provided 9 assists, becoming one of the few bright spots in Atletico's attack. The consistent performance of the former Man City striker has significantly increased his value, especially with the 2026 World Cup approaching.

Atletico understands that if Alvarez continues to shine for the Argentine national team, his transfer value could skyrocket even further. This is why the Madrid club is beginning to seriously consider selling him before the 2025/26 season.
