Atletico Madrid fans chanted against Julian Alvarez, and coach Diego Simeone didn't defend the player amid the situation. Atletico Madrid kicked off their 2026-27 LaLiga campaign with a 2-0 win over Malaga, though Julian Alvarez‘s situation still found its way into the conversation at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium. The Argentine forward, whose future at the club has been thrown into doubt amid persistent links to Barcelona, didn’t feature in the match as he continues working toward full match fitness, and a section of Atletico supporters didn’t hold back their frustration with him, with chants targeting the striker ringing out from the stands. Asked directly about the chants after the match, Diego Simeone chose not to come to his player’s defense. “I respect our fans very much,” the Argentine coach responded shortly during the press conference, declining to elaborate further or address Alvarez’s situation at the club. The brief, pointed response did little to calm the situation. Rather than distancing himself from the supporters’ behavior or backing his forward publicly, Simeone’s answer was widely read as tacit approval of the fans’ anger, deepening the sense that the relationship between Alvarez and the Atletico faithful may have reached a breaking point. 🗣️ “There were some isolated chants from a very specific section of the fans insulting Julián Alvarez…”.🔴⚪️ Diego Simeone: “I’m very respectful toward our people”. pic.twitter.com/BjxVcEI8hX— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 19, 2026 Alvarez appears set to stay at Atletico this season Despite the tension and noise surrounding him, Julian Alvarez appears increasingly likely to remain at Atletico Madrid through the rest of the transfer window. The Argentine was back on the training pitch on Thursday as part of his individual fitness program, and Diego Simeone could hand him a place in the squad for the club’s next match, against Villarreal on Sunday, August 23. Adding to the sense that his Barcelona move may no longer be on the table, reports indicate the Catalan club have shifted their attention toward Lautaro Martinez as a fallback striker option, a move that would effectively close the door on any imminent deal for Alvarez.
Hull City owner Acun Ilicali has provided another update on the club's transfer plans days before their Premier League return. Speaking to BBC Radio Humberside, Ilicali confirmed a deal to sign Real Betis winger Pablo Garcia is close. It has to be finalised but I would say 90% of this deal is done.
Cristiano Ronaldo has never had it this low. The Al Nassr forward, now 41 and reportedly closing in on the final stretch of his professional career, has been handed an overall rating of 84 in EA Sports FC 27, his weakest base card since FIFA 04, the very game that introduced him to the franchise […] Cristiano Ronaldo has never had it this low. The Al Nassr forward, now 41 and reportedly closing in on the final stretch of his professional career, has been handed an overall rating of 84 in EA Sports FC 27, his weakest base card since FIFA 04, the very game that introduced him to the franchise as a raw 19-year-old winger at Manchester United. It’s a stark departure from the version of Ronaldo that dominated the series for the better part of two decades. Between FIFA 17 and FIFA 19, he sat at a career-high 94 overall, a level matched by only a handful of players in the game’s history. Even as his output tailed off in his mid-to-late 30s, EA Sports kept him in elite territory well into his time at Al Nassr, refusing to nerf him below 84 until this year’s edition. The decline has been gradual but steady. His rating dropped a single point across FC 25 and FC 26 (85 in both), then fell again this year to 84, continuing a slide that began in earnest once he left Europe for the Saudi Pro League in early 2023.

Despite the drop, Ronaldo’s 84 overall still ranks as the highest base cards ever assigned to a 41-year-old in the franchise’s history. Whether EA Sports FC 27 ends up being his final appearance in the series remains to be seen, but for now, the numbers tell the story of a decline two decades in the making. Cristiano no longer the Saudi Pro League’s top-rated player For the first time since arriving in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t the highest-rated player at the Saudi Pro League. According to the latest EA Sports FC 27 ratings, Ruben Neves now tops the league pecking order with an 85 overall, edging out Ronaldo’s 84. Even so, Ronaldo remains comfortably the highest-rated player at Al Nassr. His 84 overall sits well clear of the club’s next-best cards, João Felix (83), Iñigo Martinez (83), and Kingsley Coman (83), all a full point behind their captain.

Jose Mourinho and Vinicius Junior spoke before the forward snubbed Arsenal (Picture: Getty) Jose Mourinho has lifted the lid on the frank conversation he had with Vinicius Junior to help persuade the forward to extend his stay with Real Madrid this summer. Vinicius had entered into the final 12 months of his previous deal with Madrid, meaning he would have been able to depart the Bernabeu on a free transfer at the end of this coming season. Arsenal were alerted to the precarious situation and made contact with Vinicius Junior’s camp over the winter after a second round of contract talks between the Brazilian and Madrid had collapsed. The Gunners grew increasingly optimistic of pulling of a sensational coup as the months wore on and remained hopeful right up until a fortnight ago, with Mikel Arteta ‘absolutely smitten’ with the idea of adding a genuine world-class talent to his title-winning frontline.

But Vinicius would go on to sign a six-year deal with Los Blancos, tying him to the Spanish giants until 2026, forcing the Premier League champions to search elsewhere for attacking reinforcements ahead of next month’s transfer deadline. Vinicius made his return for Madrid in the side’s pre-season clash with Deportivo La Coruna last week and will be expected to feature prominently on Saturday when Mourinho’s men open their La Liga campaign away to Espanyol. In a wide-ranging interview with El Chiringuito’s Josep Pedrerol, Mourinho opened up on the role he played in coaxing Vinicius away from the clutches of Arsenal. The Brazilian has put pen to paper on a six-year contract in Madrid (Picture: Getty) Arsenal had been in talks with Vinicius since January (Picture: Reuters) Asked if Vinicius’ renewal was solely down to him, Mourinho replied: ‘No… what? Because of me? Pressed on whether he spoke to Vinicius, the Special One responded: ‘Obviously I talked to him, but Vinicius has fallen in love with Real Madrid. ‘The only thing I told him was: “Vini, where do you want to go? You’ve only been in Brazil and you only know Real Madrid… You only understand Real Madrid when you leave. When you leave… that’s when you realise what Real Madrid is. Don’t leave.
