Real Madrid recently reached out to Atlético Madrid to discuss a possible transfer of striker Julián Álvarez. In response, Atlético Madrid opted for a humorous rebuttal, indicating that they are not entertaining any offers for the player.
Details: The official X account of Atlético Madrid stated, “We are not considering or evaluating any offer for Julián.” They added remarks that addressed the supposed video edit involving the Pope and expressed a lack of gratitude toward Real Madrid.
Quote:
“1. You edited the Pope’s video where he said he also supports Atlético.
2. You probably confused courtesy with gratitude, but just to avoid any misunderstanding: we have nothing to thank you for.
3. We are not considering or evaluating any offer for Julián.
4. How could we not get along when you make us laugh even more than Barcelona?”Advertisement
Additionally, Atlético Madrid urged Real Madrid to cease their recruitment of players from Atlético’s academy, further emphasizing their discontent in a follow-up tweet.
P.D. Aprovechando la buena relación con vuestro nuevo presidente, a ver si dejáis de ‘robar’ jugadores de nuestra Academia. ¡Muchas gracias, @realmadrid!
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is also pursuing Bayern Munich‘s Michael Olise, but the feasibility of this transfer remains uncertain.
