Florentino Perez on why Madrid didn't sign Enzo Fernandez.
"We all know how talented he is and how passionate he can get on the football pitch. But those factors alone can't make you a successful footballer here. A good attitude is very important so you can get along well with your teammates and coaching staff. Sadly I don't see that in him and so we couldn't proceed with the deal"
He continued:
"In few years time a lot of people will remember this words I just said about him. He did at the world cup and he does it at Chelsea every week. We don't want that sort of chaos in our dressing room"
🚨Xabi Alonso on Julián Álvarez pushing for a move away from Atlético Madrid:
🗣️ Reporter: “Xabi, what do you make of the situation surrounding Julián Álvarez and the reports that he wants to leave Atlético?”
🗣️ Xabi Alonso: “I think the most important thing is to respect the commitment you make when you sign for a club. Julián is a fantastic footballer, nobody can question that, but Atlético gave him trust, responsibility and a long-term contract. That relationship has to mean something.
“If a player decides after a few years that he wants another challenge, that is football. Careers are short and players have ambitions. But there is a professional way to handle these situations. You don’t create tension, you don’t force the club into a corner and you don’t make the supporters feel like the player has already left.
“Atlético are not a stepping stone. They are one of the biggest clubs in Europe. If Barcelona, Real Madrid or another club wants Julián, then they have to approach Atlético properly and meet the conditions of the agreement.
“And honestly, I understand why Atlético supporters would be frustrated. They bought into the player, supported him and made him one of the important faces of their project. You cannot expect them to applaud if suddenly he decides another club is more attractive.
“Wanting to leave is one thing. The way you leave tells you everything about the player. If Julián wants a new chapter, he should earn that move with respect not force Atlético to surrender.”
🚨Hansi Flick on Julian Alvarez:
🗣️“I completely understand Atlético Madrid. No club wants to lose their best player, especially when he’s still under contract and they paid a huge fee to sign him.
I’ve already told Deco that we need to move on from this Alvarez situation because it’s becoming too dramatic. Julian wants to join us, we know that, but he has a contract with Atlético and we cannot simply ignore that.
Enough with all this drama. I wish Julian would understand that too. Showing frustration and bad attitude on the pitch won’t help anyone. If he wants this move, he needs to respect his current club and let the situation be handled properly.”
🚨Karim Benzema on Julian Alvarez:
🗣️“Anyone supporting this Julian Alvarez situation is not a real football fan. This is pure hypocrisy.
You cannot defend a player forcing his way out when it suits you, then condemn another player for doing the same thing elsewhere.
If you believe football is about loyalty and respect, then those principles should apply to everyone.
Atleti rescued Alvarez when he needed a club, paid a huge fee, and gave him the platform to become their star.
Now he wants to force a move to a direct rival, and people are pretending there is nothing wrong with that?
Come on. You cannot change your principles depending on which club or player you support.
That is not football. That is hypocrisy.”
🚨💣BREAKING: GRIEZMANN HAS REPORTEDLY CALLED JULIÁN ÁLVAREZ WITH A WARNING! 👀
Antoine Griezmann reportedly advised Álvarez not to repeat the same mistake he made years ago when he pushed for a move away from Atlético Madrid to Barcelona — a decision he later regretted. 😬
Griezmann’s message was reportedly clear: stay, apologize to the team, and you can become an Atlético legend one day. 🔴⚪️
But Álvarez’s response? 🇦🇷
🗣️ “Thank you, but Barcelona is my dream.” 💭🔵🔴
🚨🎙️Toni Kroos on Real Madrid missing out on Rodri:
🗣️“This move shouldn't hurt the fans. Sometimes a transfer simply isn't meant to happen, and you have to move on.”
“Madrid already have very good options in midfield. The Rodri situation is making people talk as if Tchouaméni isn't a top player, or as if Camavinga can't play at the highest level.”
“They're both exceptional defensive midfielders with different qualities.”
“Rodri is world-class, absolutely, but Madrid shouldn't build their entire midfield around the idea that they must have him.”
“Tchouaméni gives you physicality and defensive discipline. Camavinga gives you energy, ball carrying and incredible athleticism.”
“The important thing is getting the best out of the players already here.
One transfer doesn't suddenly make your existing midfielders worse.”
“Madrid have enough quality to compete for everything this season.
Now the focus should be on building chemistry and winning with the players who chose to be here.”
I will say this again. Bernardo Silva might be a game changer for Real Madrid’s midfield under Jose Mourinho next season regardless of his age. Silva is a very calm, ball-holding creative midfielder, and the fact that Perez picked him over Rodri might have a positive reasons.
🚨 BREAKING: José Mourinho found BAD HABITS in Real Madrid's squad, and he is now CHANGING those habits:
- NO MORE FREEDOM for players to eat whatever they want
- The nutrition is now handled by a NUTRITIONIST that dictates the menus in a structured way
- SOLITARY GYM TIME as punishment for anyone who comes a minute late to training, no exceptions
- Injury recovery must take place at the training ground, supervised by the club, not away from the team, with external staff

🚨🎙️Toni Kroos on Vini Jr's contract renewal situation:
🗣️“Vini Jr is already a Real Madrid legend.
It wouldn't be the right way for this story to end.”
“The club won't want to lose him for nothing, and I don't think he'll want to be pushed out either.”
“So, behind the scenes, I'm sure there are some difficult conversations taking place.”
“They should be trying to convince him to stay, not putting pressure on him.
Players respond much better when they feel valued.”
“Contracts come and go, but relationships matter.
If both sides want the same thing, they'll find a solution.”
“For me, a player of his quality should remain one of the faces of the club for many more years.”
