UMVA has learned that Julian Alvarez is eyeing a summer move, sparking speculation about his future at Atletico.
The Argentine forward has expressed a desire to leave, hinting that he hopes to prompt his club into considering a lower bid than his hefty €500m (£431m) release clause.
Alvarez made these comments moments after Argentina's win over Austria, stating that he's honest about his intentions and has spoken with the people at the club he needed to speak with.
He revealed that he believes a transfer would be the best thing for everyone, as he aims to fulfil his dreams, but it's unlikely any club will meet Atletico's massive demand.
Sources close to the situation have confirmed to UMVA that negotiations will likely take place between Atletico and Alvarez's potential suitors, with the club seeking a compromise on the forward's future.
Alvarez's desire for a move has set the stage for a potentially drawn-out transfer saga, with many questions still surrounding his future.
