Atletico de Madrid president Enrique Serraz has dismissed reports regarding Julian Alvarez as the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Barcelona circle.
El Desmarque covered Cerezo’s comments today. He has sent a clear message to Argentina as rumors continue to spread.
Sport Witness has covered many of those reports over the past few weeks. All indications are that Arsenal and Chelsea could make big moves for the 26-year-old this summer.
Arsenal and Chelsea’s financial strength
A report in early February Even said they were willing to break the bank for his signature.
This was added in a follow-up report yesterday Both parties have financial power They can blow Barcelona out of the water if they want.
Arsenal, in particular, appear to be keen on Alvarez. In fact, A report this week stated The Gunners made a huge €100m move for the striker last summer.
Alvarez and Atletico shrugged it off, but the latter is worried about it. Despite attempts to secure the Argentine a new deal and stem interest, ties with Barcelona are refusing to go away.
Several reports in Spain continue to pique their interest. However this could be a pressure tactic as the two sides meet in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday.
cerezo hit back
Cerezo is fully aware of the rumors, but when asked he refused to promote them in any way, shape or form.
“They can say whatever they want and talk about whatever they want,” he said.
“But everyone knows that Julian Alvarez is an Atlético de Madrid player. He has a contract with Atlético de Madrid. If he is an Atlético de Madrid player, it is because he is an Atlético de Madrid player.”
Although Cerezo is clearly denying the rumours, it is clear that they are causing concern at the Wanda Metropolitano. And there’s no sign they’re going to slow down before the summer.
