💣🚨 BREAKING: Atlético Madrid are going all out against Barça to defend their interests in the Julián Álvarez case.
They are taking things a step further: they are adding EVIDENCE and the CONSEQUENCES of the pressure being placed on Julián Alvarez to their already existing cases with FIFA and the RFEF against Barça.
Julián did not attend training today, after the player contacted the medical staff and informed them that he was not feeling well and did not feel up to going to training.
They believe Barça's pressure has resulted in the player not feeling up to attending training, which entails direct costs for Atlético Madrid: financial costs, sporting costs due to a drop in performance, and reputational costs.
As part of that, the club will show patience and provide the necessary support to look after the player, who remains in constant contact with the club’s services, so that he can recover as soon as possible and return to training and work.
Atleti believe that the handling of the situation by his representative, his entourage and FC Barcelona has destabilised the player.
For that reason, Atlético Madrid will continue to stand by him, support him and work towards helping him improve.
Furthermore, they confirm that Julián Álvarez has a 0% chance of joining Barça.
At Atleti, they believe this situation is not about money; it is about RESPECT and DIGNITY.
They will neither talk nor negotiate with the Blaugrana club.
