Is the transfer deal of Alvarez to Real Madrid possible?

Recent press reports have revealed that Real Madrid has inquired about the status of Argentine forward Julián Álvarez, as part of assessing the possibility of signing him during the current summer transfer window.

Some sources have suggested that Álvarez might be the star that Florentino Pérez hinted at when he spoke about a potential major deal worth up to 150 million euros.

Nevertheless, the chances of completing the deal seem very complicated at the moment, as the data indicates that Alvarez's move to Real Madrid is not likely this summer.

This is primarily due to the difficulty of convincing Atletico Madrid to let go of one of its key stars to its direct rival in the Spanish capital. Additionally, some reports suggest that the player prefers to move to Barcelona if Atletico Madrid decides to open the door for his departure in the future.

On the technical front, the arrival of Álvarez at Real Madrid could necessitate significant changes in the attacking system, as the player prefers to play as a central striker. In this case, Kylian Mbappé might return to his preferred position on the left wing, a spot currently occupied by Vinícius Júnior, which could create substantial tactical challenges for the coaching staff if the deal goes through.

Based on the current data, Julian Alvarez's name remains on the list of targets monitored by Real Madrid, but completing the deal seems unlikely given the sporting and administrative obstacles surrounding it.
