Atletico Madrid open to Julian Alvarez sale to fund new signings
Atletico Madrid are preparing a squad overhaul and are willing to sell Julian Alvarez to finance moves for Bernardo Silva and Cristian Romero.
Atletico Madrid are planning a significant squad overhaul following a challenging season that saw them finish fourth in La Liga and exit the Champions League in the semi-finals. Under the guidance of Director of Football Mateu Alemany, the club is looking to reshape its roster.
A major part of this strategy involves a potential sale of Julian Alvarez. Despite the Argentine forward scoring 20 goals this season, the club is open to offers exceeding €100m. Such a deal would provide the necessary capital to pursue high-profile targets like Bernardo Silva and Cristian Romero.
Several top clubs, including PSG, Barcelona, and Arsenal, are reportedly tracking the situation. Manager Diego Simeone addressed the speculation surrounding his player:
He is old enough to know what he is going to do and he will have his decision made, I imagine. Diego Simeone
The club's transfer activity is strictly dependent on generating revenue through player departures. Alongside Silva and Romero, Atletico are also monitoring players like Joao Gomes and Marc Cucurella. The club aims to finalize these movements soon to ensure the squad is ready for a highly competitive new era under their current ownership structure.
