Julian Alvarez wants to leave Atletico Madrid.

In the early hours of June 23rd, striker Julian Alvarez caused a major surprise by announcing his desire to leave Atletico Madrid after Argentina's 2-0 victory over Austria at the 2026 World Cup.

Alvarez has surprisingly publicly expressed his desire to leave Atletico in the summer of 2026.

In a post-match interview at the World Cup , Alvarez affirmed that a transfer was the best option for all parties involved. He wanted to leave to fulfill his dream. He stated that he had discussed the matter directly with the Spanish club's management. The Argentinian player emphasized that he wanted to be honest and not hide anything.

This sudden announcement immediately sent shockwaves through the transfer market. Previously, Real Madrid had made a massive €150 million offer for the striker, but Atletico Madrid's management had rejected it.

Atletico Madrid had previously bought Alvarez from Manchester City for €75 million in 2024. Alvarez's statement has caused outrage among Atletico de Madrid's management and fans. The club's supporters have long been unhappy with the Argentinian star. The club's management was also surprised by his unilateral public announcement of his intention to leave.

At Atletico, Alvarez scored 49 goals in 106 matches. His form declined somewhat last season, with only 20 goals compared to 29 in his first season.

Both Barcelona and Arsenal are expressing significant interest in Alvarez. However, the striker prefers to stay in the Spanish league rather than return to the Premier League. This statement makes Alvarez the next target of the Argentine national team, following his teammate Lionel Messi's historic World Cup record.
