@FootynewsAfter Atlético de Madrid dropped a statement, Julián Álvarez's situation is being dissected and the options are grim. Barcelona has been completely shut out as a destination even though he wanted them, with the club closing that door tight. Arsenal remains the place he actively does not want to go, despite claims he could restart his career sportingly there while earning a superlative salary. The other option means staying at Atlético de Madrid to endure a shared hell for half a year minimum before checking the winter market. Only two paths exist for him now and neither of them appears ideal. #JulianAlvarez
