Julián Alvarez considers changing his agent

The Argentine forward Julián Alvarez of Atlético is seriously studying the possibility of changing his agent Fernando Hidalgo, following the controversy surrounding his future during the summer transfer window, with links to a move to FC Barcelona and Arsenal.

Julián Alvarez has ultimately stayed with Atlético, after a potential move to FC Barcelona or Arsenal was discussed at different stages, while journalist Fabrizio Romano indicated that the English club was waiting on the player's situation should his transfer to FC Barcelona fall through.

Atlético are unhappy with the management of the situation regarding Julián Alvarez, holding the player's representatives responsible for what happened. According to "Mundo Deportivo", Alvarez may end his relationship with Hidalgo, with the possibility of moving to work with Javier Pastore.

Julián Alvarez may have changed agents in hopes of working with a representative who can help him achieve the transfer he desires in the future, alongside avoiding new tension with Atlético, but it is too early to determine the reason with certainty.

Arsenal are still looking for a striker, with interest in Junior FC's Ely Junior Kroby, who represents a long-term option due to his young age, while the club may also continue with Kai Havertz, who has started the season brightly.
