Atletico Madrid’s executive director, Miguel Angel Gil Marin, has reportedly set a deadline for Julian Alvarez and his agent, Fernando Hidalgo, to submit a formal proposal should the striker wish to depart the club. The deadline established is June 20th, requiring the presentation of a €150 million offer. This development follows increased transfer speculation involving the player.
Notably, Real Madrid had publicly announced on June 9th that they submitted a €150 million offer for the forward. However, despite this public declaration from Madrid, no subsequent written offer or concrete negotiations have been reported. The situation led Atletico to engage in public commentary on social media, making remarks that appeared to reference other clubs, specifically mentioning Barcelona.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that Alvarez himself had previously indicated that Barcelona was his preferred destination. Despite these statements regarding his desired move, sources suggest that the directors at Atletico Madrid declined to open negotiations with Barcelona. The setting of this firm deadline by Atletico Madrid underscores the club’s current stance regarding the player’s potential departure.
The requirement for a specific financial offer from Alvarez’s camp, particularly following the earlier public interest shown by Madrid, creates a defined timeline for the club’s transfer strategy. The focus remains on whether a formal, written offer materializes before the stipulated date.
