Atletico rules out selling Julian Alvarez amid Arsenal and Barcelona interest

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has ruled out selling Julian Alvarez this summer amid interest from Arsenal and Barcelona. He issued a hands-off warning as both clubs were linked with the Argentina international. When asked about a potential transfer, Cerezo was unequivocal: "He’s an Atletico Madrid player and he has a contract with us.

He’s worth a lot because he’s with us - and he is not for sale," the president told reporters. The 26-year-old has netted 14 goals and provided six assists across all competitions, helping Atletico reach the Copa del Rey final and the Champions League last 16. The comments came as Atletico prepared for their Copa del Rey semi-final second leg at the Spotify Camp Nou, where Atleti progressed to the final 4-3 on aggregate despite a 3-0 loss on the night.
