The website "Fichajes" confirmed that Atletico Madrid has made a definitive stance regarding the future of Argentine striker Julian Alvarez, closing the door on his departure in light of strong interest from major clubs such as Barcelona and Liverpool.

The report clarified that Atletico Madrid's management has taken a clear position of not letting go of Alvarez unless a very substantial financial offer is received, considering the player a key pillar in coach Diego Simeone's project.

The site pointed out that Alvarez, who joined Atletico from Manchester City for around 80 million euros, has become one of the team's standout players thanks to his crucial goals and noticeable development, making him one of the top strikers in La Liga.

The same source also noted that Barcelona is monitoring the player as a potential option to succeed Robert Lewandowski, while Liverpool continues to follow the situation, although they are aware that the deal could be very expensive.

Atletico Madrid views Julian Alvarez as a long-term investment and will not allow his departure at this time, affirming that the Argentine striker is an untouchable element within the team's starting lineup.
