Diego Simeone govori o Julianu Alvarezu
I vrlo jasno je da njegov napadač neće nigdje otići. Ako uživate u izvještavanju CaughtOffside-a i želite vidjeti više toga, dodajte nas kao preferirani izvor na Googleu kako bismo postali vaš favorit i vidjeli više našeg sadržaja. Atletico Madrid još nije napravio previše odlučujućih poteza na tržištu prijelaznih rokova ovog ljeta, s dolaskom Kang-in Lee-a iz PSG-a za €40m kao njihovim dosad najvažnijim pojačanjem. Ali stvari postaju zanimljive: duboko su u licitaciji za braniča Tottenhama, Cristiana Romera, i bore se da zadrže jednu od svojih najvećih zvijezda. Julian Alvarez već je ovog ljeta bio predmet interesa poput Arsenala, PSG-a i Barcelone, te je dao izjavu da želi otići. “Klub je donio odluku, koju je Miguel Ángel Gil Marin objasnio vrlo dobro,” rekao je menadžer Diego Simeone kada su ga pitali o budućnosti napadača Alvarez. “S sportskog gledišta, vrlo smo sretni što imamo igrača poput Julie, i pomoći ćemo mu da nastavi rasti i poboljšavati se.” Činjenica da i dalje drže vrata otvorena za Alvareza, unatoč njegovim otvorenim pokušajima da ih napusti, pokazuje koliko ga cijene i koliko su spremni žrtvovati da bi zadržali ovu zvijezdu Argentine oko sebe. Simeone nije osoba koja će si odsjeći nos da bi mu unakazila lice – zna da ima puno veću šansu za osvajanje titula ove godine s Alvarezom nego bez njega. Naravno, nikad ne znate što se može dogoditi na kraju prijelaznog roka – neki klub bi mogao doći i ponuditi suludu cifru. Ali u svakom slučaju, najbolje što Atletico može učiniti je nastaviti inzistirati da je Alvarez njihov igrač, sve dok to ne prestane.
[Diego Simeone has spoken out about Julian Alvarez and made it very clear that his attacker is going nowhere. If you enjoy CaughtOffside coverage and want to see more of it, add us as a preferred source on Google to make us a favourite and see more of our content. Atletico Madrid have not made too many decisive moves in the transfer market yet this summer, with the arrival of Kang-in Lee from PSG at €40m their most significant addition so far. But things are about to get interesting: they’re deep into the bidding for Tottenham defender Cristian Romero, and are battling to keep hold of one of their top stars. Julian Alvarez has been the subject of interest from the likes of Arsenal, PSG and Barcelona this summer already, and made a statement pushing to leave.

Simeone is not one to cut off his nose to spite his face – he knows he’s got a far better chance of winning things this year [with Alvarez] than without. Of course you never know what could happen at the end of the window – a team could swoop in and offer a crazy fee. But in any case, Atletico’s best stance is just to keep insisting that Alvarez is their man, right up until he’s not.]
