the reality is he's not better than Pedri, on par with both Gavi and Bernal (good rotational option) and much better than Casado
if he's willing to lower his salary, I am very fine with him
with his wages, I expect him to have similar outputs with prime Xavi, yet he isn't close
he's overhated by some people to the point he's judged like he's worse than Gerard Gumbau (I know that guy who dedicates his whole page just to hate on him 🤭)
but at the same time I feel like he's very overrated (some people rate him higher than Pedri and his wages is too high)
I won't forgive Laporta and Deco if we waste our whole summer just to try approach for this deal, regardless if he really joins or not
bid the 120M + add on ASAP, if it gets accepted then nice, but if it isn't just move on for other targets
Julian Alvarez's €500m clause is more complicated than it appears with provisions for certain #UCL clubs to do a deal cheaper.
Atletico Madrid continue to point to this number and deny active negotiations. Barcelona have had a €100m bid rejected.🇦🇷

so the only World Cup where he scored more than 1 goal was in 2018? 😭
said it already and I will say it again, without that Spain hattrick, his WC legacy would be on par with Emile Heskey
Julian Alvarez transfer from Man City to Atleti in 2024 turned out to be the worst transfer in football history since Neymar to PSG in 2017 if we're talking about the off field effect
🗣️🚨 @gastonedul: “The statement created an ideal scenario for both Real Madrid and Atlético: Florentino Pérez fulfills his campaign promise by making a €150 million bid, while Atlético uses it to drive up Julián Álvarez’s price and strengthen its negotiating position with other clubs.”
🚨 Crystal Palace agree deal in principle to appoint Pierre Sage as new head coach, here we go! 🔴🔵🦅

After excellent work at RC Lens, Sage arrives in Premier League and ready for new chapter at #CPFC.
