Julian Alvarez has returned to Atletico Madrid with his future still unresolved, but the club has made its position clear: they expect the Argentine striker to put the transfer speculation aside and f...
With FC Barcelona still looking for the striker's signing with a final offer, Julian Alvarez and Diego Simeone are reportedly set to have a face-to-face meeting to define his future at Atletico Madrid. Julian Alvarez‘s future has evolved into one of the marquee storylines of the 2026 summer transfer window following the striker’s public admission of his desire to depart Atletico Madrid. With FC Barcelona still actively pursuing his signature, Alvarez and head coach Diego “Cholo” Simeone are reportedly scheduled to hold a crucial face-to-face meeting to resolve the forward’s status. Simeone has maintained a clear public stance, aligning with club leadership’s decision to retain Alvarez as a foundational piece for Atletico’s 2026-27 campaign. Following his participation in the 2026 World Cup, where he reiterated his intent to seek an exit to pursue a new challenge, Alvarez will return from vacation on Monday, August10, when the pivotal sit-down will take place. According to TyC Sports journalist and Argentina insider Gaston Edul, Julian Alvarez and Simeone will meet face-to-face on Monday to directly address the player’s future. However, the positions held by both parties remain firmly entrenched. Per Edul, after consulting those in the striker’s inner circle, Alvarez considers his tenure at Atletico to be complete and no longer wishes to remain with the club. Conversely, Atletico executives maintain an unyielding position, refusing to negotiate a departure unless an interested club triggers his €500 million (roughly $578 million USD) release clause.

(Aitor Alcalde/Getty Images) Simeone will attempt to persuade Alvarez to remain at the Metropolitano and commit to the club’s long-term vision. On the other hand, the forward aims to de-escalate tensions, which grew uncomfortable for him following the media reaction generated by the club’s public social media responses during the World Cup. With triggering the full release clause ruled out by all suitors, Barcelona‘s reported strategy is to present a formal offer worth €120 million (roughly $138 million USD), which would represent the highest proposal submitted for the Argentine star. Whether Atletico considers the bid will depend heavily on the outcome of the discussions between player and coach, mirroring the process when Alvarez met with Pep Guardiola to facilitate his exit from Manchester City. Barcelona remains preferred destination despite Arsenal and PSG interest Alvarez has drawn interest not only from Barcelona, his preferred destination, but also from Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, two clubs capable of financing a transfer of this magnitude. Nevertheless, the Blaugrana remains the top choice for the Argentine international. According to Edul, even though Arsenal and PSG have submitted formal inquiries, moving outside of Spain remains a secondary option for the player. Alvarez chose to depart Manchester primarily for family reasons, making a return to England, more specific to London, an undesirable outcome for his personal situation.
Leandro Trossard was unveiled as a Besiktas player last month (Picture: Getty Images) Besiktas have approached Arsenal in an attempt to make another big signing from the Premier League champions, having already landed Leandro Trossard this summer. The Belgian has made the switch to the Turkish Super Lig in a deal worth an initial £15.3million and another potential £1.7m in add-ons. The 31-year-old becomes one of the star names in the Besiktas squad but they are hoping to add another high profile star this summer. Turkish publication Fanatik report that Besiktas have approached Arsenal over a deal to sign striker Gabriel Jesus.

The Brazil international is available for transfer this summer, having falling down the pecking order behind Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres. The Gunners want £20m for the striker, who has just one year left on his contract, while they are only interested in a permanent exit rather than a loan deal. There is no shortage of interest in the 29-year-old, with Napoli pursuing a deal for his signature, but Besiktas are trying their luck as well. Gabriel Jesus looks likely to be leaving Arsenal this summer (Picture: Getty Images) Jesus arrived at Arsenal from Manchester City in the summer of 2022 in a £45m deal but has seen much of his time at the club hampered by injury. He has performed in fits and starts, but has played just 123 times in four seasons, scoring 32 goals. He remains in first team contention and has featured in pre-season, but an exit is looking increasingly likely this summer. There is also interest from Turkey in another Arsenal star, with Galatasaray reportedly keen on Gabriel Martinelli. Gabriel Martinelli has been at Arsenal since 2019 (Picture: Getty Images) TalkSPORT report that Galatasaray have made an initial inquiry for the Brazilian winger and talks have been held over a fee. The 25-year-old featured regularly last season, making 53 appearances across all competitions and scoring 11 goals. He has one year left on his current contract, although Arsenal do have an option to extend that by another 12 months. Martinelli would only be allowed to leave if the Gunners bring in a new signing on the left wing, as they are already a bit short there after the departure of Trossard. The pursuit of Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr was unsuccessful and Arsenal are now thought to be looking at the likes of Kenan Yildiz at Juventus and Eli Kroupi Jr at Bournemouth. They are also interested in Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez, as are Barcelona. Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
Manchester City beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 on Sunday, with Omar Marmoush scoring twice (Picture: Getty Images) Omar Marmoush scored twice for Manchester City in a friendly win over Atletico Madrid on Sunday, but manager Enzo Maresca was coy on his future at the club. The Premier League side beat the Atletico 3-1 in Seoul as the new season approaches, with Jorge Dominguez putting the Spaniards ahead. Marmoush then scored twice, before Rayan Ait-Nouri netted a third at the death. With Erling Haaland yet to return to action after the World Cup, Marmoush started up front and took his chance to impress the new City boss.

However, he remains linked with a move away from the club as his playing time is limited by the presence of Haaland in the squad. The Egyptian made 21 Premier League appearances last season, but 13 of them were from the substitutes’ bench and he scored just three league goals. Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United have been linked with moves for the 27-year-old and Maresca did not rule out an exit after his goal-scoring heroics against Atletico. Enzo Maresca is taking on the huge task of replacing Pep Guardiola (Picture: AP Photo) In fact, the Italian spoke of Marmoush in the same manner as James Trafford, the goalkeeper who has left City this summer to sign for Leeds United. ‘The answer has to be similar to the one I answer about James Trafford. Players work every day, they want to play so when they don’t play they are not happy,’ Maresca said, via the Manchester Evening News. ‘Omar did not play a lot last year so his desire is probably to play more minutes. It doesn’t mean that he isn’t going to play more minutes here but it’s also his decision, and to understand his decision in details.’ Marmoush was not speaking like a player itching for a move after the win on Sunday, quickly turning attention to next weekend’s Community Shield, in which he will hope to star as well.
