For Atleti, the noise surrounding their star man comes at a difficult time as they look to build a squad capable of competing for major honours. Losing Alvarez to either Real Madrid or Barcelona would represent a significant blow to Diego Simeone’s plans, and the club are reportedly only willing to let him go for at least €150m.
As the summer window approaches, the scrutiny on Alvarez will only increase. Whether he is indeed the €150m man Perez has in mind remains to be seen, but the silence from the player’s camp has now been broken, leaving the door ajar for further developments in what is fast becoming the biggest story in Spanish football.
