Julián Álvarez: The Cornerstone of Atlético's Future
Julián Álvarez has established himself as the cornerstone of Atlético de Madrid, a key player in the team’s present and future. Simeone, who considers him essential, highlights his talent and leadership, showing the importance of making him feel happy and supported in the Rojiblancos project.
His arrival at Atlético gave him the affection and support he needed, making him the leader after Griezmann’s reduced role. The most prolific season of his career, with 29 goals, underscores his value, but his leadership, generosity, and ability to drive team growth are equally valuable.
The club is focused on strengthening the squad to match his talent and aspire to titles, an objective shared by Álvarez and Simeone. Despite interest from clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool, Julián feels comfortable in Madrid and La Liga, where he has stood out as one of the most important players.
Although Barça has him on their radar in the future, Atlético does not plan to enter salary auctions, maintaining its clear salary scale even for a player of his caliber. His commitment and performance at the Metropolitano make him the undisputed star of Atlético, a leader on the field, and a key player for future successes.
