Diego Simeone addressed Julian Alvarez's future at Atletico Madrid, amid rumors of a transfer to Barcelona. The saga between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid over Julian Alvarez is without a doubt one of the most talked-about storylines of this transfer window. While it seemed the player would leave after publicly stating his desire to be transferred, head coach Diego Simeone made clear that the club’s stance is firm on not letting go of the Argentine. Simeone didn’t mince words when addressing Alvarez‘s future at Atletico Madrid, delivering a blunt message during his pre-match press conference in Seoul. “The situation is very clear, the club made a decision that Miguel Angel explained very well. We’re very happy with Julian, and from a sporting standpoint we’ll help him keep growing,” Simeone said. The comments came ahead of Atletico‘s friendly against Manchester City on August 8, with the manager backing the stance already laid out by club shareholder Miguel Angel Gil Marin: Alvarez is not for sale this summer, regardless of the player’s own wishes. Alvarez himself wasn’t part of the squad in Seoul, still on vacation following Argentina’s run to the World Cup final, with his return to training scheduled for August 10. Julian Alvarez and Diego Simeone during an Atletico Madrid’s game. (Getty Images) That timeline sets up a potentially tense reunion between player and club, given his public desire to leave Atletico this summer, with Barcelona long positioned as his preferred destination. Despite that friction, Simeone struck a conciliatory tone toward his forward, praising his contributions over the past two seasons and pledging continued support to help him reach his best level, even as the club stands firm on keeping him beyond this transfer window. The Griezmann precedent Simeone didn’t shy away from drawing a direct parallel to a situation he’s lived through before. “We’ve been through situations like this before, we saw what happened with Griezmann, I see no other path than to work from the sporting side like it’s on us to do, and try to help like we have these past two years,” he said, pointing to Antoine Griezmann’s own saga at the club. The Frenchman left Atletico for Barcelona in 2019 amid a similarly public transfer battle, only to return years later — first on loan in 2021, then permanently in 2022 — eventually becoming the club’s all-time leading scorer after working to rebuild trust with the fanbase. Simeone’s message at the press conference was clear: even if Alvarez’s situation feels unresolved now, history suggests these sagas can still end in the player’s favor at Atletico.

With the focus set on the 2028 Copa America, Argentina FA president casted doubts on the future of Lionel Messi in the national team: "It's his decision." Lionel Messi once again served as Argentina‘s undisputed leader on soccer’s biggest stage during the 2026 World Cup, but questions surrounding his future involvement with the national team remain unresolved. With the 2028 Copa América looming as the next major international tournament, Argentina Football Association (AFA) president Claudio Tapia left the decision entirely up to the star forward, stating, “It’s his decision.” In an interview with TyC Sports, Tapia was asked about Messi’s future with the Albiceleste following another memorable World Cup run, delivering a candid response: “It is purely and personal to him, we have to leave him in peace. It was a great World Cup by Leo, we enjoyed it a lot. We have to feel proud, and I enjoyed every moment I could because I saw him on the pitch. Without a doubt, he was the flag bearer of the group in this World Cup, just as he was in every competition where he led this group.” Tapia went on to highlight Messi’s extraordinary track record since Lionel Scaloni assumed control of the bench. “Out of 5 finals, he won 4, and out of 103 matches, 76 won, 19 drawn, 8 lost. If you count from World Cup to World Cup, from 2022 to 2026, we lost two matches: the first one in Qatar against Saudi Arabia, and the last one against Spain. If you sit down and analyze the World Cup he had, for me, the best player in the World Cup final was him. And he was breaking records match after match,” he added. Since Scaloni’s managerial debut against Guatemala in 2018, Argentina has netted 190 total goals, with Messi directly involved in 79 of them, racking up 60 goals and 26 assists to remain the focal point of this golden era. Lautaro Martinez trails him with 40 goals, while Julian Alvarez sits third with 15, emphasizing how vital the Inter Miami superstar remains to his country.

(Andrew Harnik/Getty Images) Looking ahead, the team’s primary focus shifts toward the 2028 Copa America, the next major competition on Argentina’s calendar. While Messi will still be under contract with Inter Miami through December of that year, the fact that he will turn 41 during the tournament casts uncertainty over his participation, let alone his availability for the 2030 World Cup. “It is his decision, pure and exclusive to him. He has to feel the desire like he felt (before)… In 2022, you didn’t know if he was going to be here in 2026. He said ‘this is match by match,’ and I think we saw a great version, if not the best version of Leo in this World Cup. I believe we have to leave him in peace, let him keep enjoying what he likes, which is playing football, and let us also keep enjoying, and let him make the decision he believes is right,” Tapia concluded. Comparing Messi’s timeline to Di Maria’s send-off Angel Di Maria established himself as arguably the second most influential player of the Scaloni era, delivering iconic goals in major finals before closing out his international career after the 2024 Copa America. While Messi has yet to announce a final decision, Tapia emphasized that the captain will evaluate his own physical state rather than rushing into retirement. Reflecting on the fitness of Di Maria, who currently plays for Rosario Central, Tapia noted. “Fideo scored important goals, and I saw him play in the local tournament, and he was easily fit to play (in the World Cup). I don’t get into the decisions of the coaching staff, but he also made clear that he was retired from the national team. So one has to be respectful of everything. He felt he was fulfilled.“ When asked whether Messi still possesses that unquenchable drive to keep competing for Argentina, Tapia referenced a shared moment between the two. “I was talking with him about that in a series, about never gi
The fallout from the abandoned World Cup investment proposal continues to divide the governing body, with major soccer powers questioning the direction of the organization. Gianni Infantino’s future at FIFA has become increasingly uncertain after England changed its position ahead of the 2027 presidential elections, adding further pressure to a leadership battle that has shaken world soccer. The fallout from the abandoned World Cup investment proposal continues to divide the governing body, with major soccer powers questioning the direction of the organization. The crisis has grown beyond the original controversy surrounding FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), the proposed company that would have allowed private investors to purchase a stake in future World Cup commercial revenues. While the plan has been withdrawn, the damage to Infantino’s relationships with several important stakeholders appears far from resolved. FIFA crisis deepens after abandoned World Cup investment plan Infantino faced intense criticism after his proposal to create a new commercial entity and raise around $4.2 billion through private investment triggered opposition from multiple soccer organizations. The plan would have involved selling approximately 20 percent of FIFA Forward Enterprise, a company designed to oversee commercial rights connected to competitions such as the World Cup and Club World Cup. The proposal quickly became one of the biggest political challenges of Infantino’s presidency since he took over FIFA in 2016. UEFA, CONCACAF and the Asian Soccer Confederation all expressed concerns about the lack of consultation, with UEFA describing the initiative as a “shabby, back room, opaque deal.” FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Although Infantino eventually abandoned the project, UEFA made it clear that the decision alone was not enough to repair the damage. “First, the proposals to sell off the major competitions had to be withdrawn and secondly, assurances have to be made that such attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again. These conditions have not been met,” UEFA said in a statement. The European governing body has maintained that it has lost confidence in Infantino’s leadership and has even discussed possible future action, including a potential boycott of FIFA competitions. England FA reveals positon on Infantino’s re-election bid The biggest development came when the English Football Association formally withdrew its support for Infantino’s candidacy for another term as FIFA president. The decision means England will no longer back Infantino’s attempt to remain in charge from 2027 to 2031. The FA’s position followed similar moves from Wales, Serbia, Sweden and Finland, with several national associations distancing themselves from the FIFA president after the failed investment proposal. The English federation reportedly decided that Infantino’s apology and FIFA’s internal response did not change its concerns. “The FA has sent a letter withdrawing its support for Infantino in reaction to the plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors,” BBC Sport reported. Julian Alvarez #9 of Argentina celebrates with teammates after scoring a goal. The decision represents a major setback for Infantino because England remains one of the most influential national associations in world soccer. While the number of federations publicly opposing him remains limited compared with FIFA’s 211 members, the growing criticism from established soccer nations has increased pressure ahead of the election. UEFA considers next steps as Infantino fights to stay in power UEFA now faces a difficult challenge in trying to remove Infantino before the 2027 election. A vote of no confidence would require support from a majority of FIFA’s 211 members, meaning European opposition alone would not be enough. Another possibility would be finding a rival candidate capable of challenging Infantino during the election. CONCACAF president Victor Mo
