Julian Alvarez wants out of Atletico Madrid, and now he has one of the most famous strikers in Argentine football history publicly cheering him on.
Sergio Aguero made his stance clear on June 23, endorsing Alvarez’s transfer request and arguing that the 24-year-old would slot seamlessly into Barcelona’s system. Aguero made the remarks on the Jijantes FC streaming show, giving the saga the kind of high-profile co-sign that tends to accelerate these things.
Alvarez publicly acknowledged that he had requested a transfer from Atletico following internal discussions with the club, a move that confirms the relationship between player and club has reached a breaking point.
What Aguero actually said
Aguero described Alvarez as a top-class player capable of operating anywhere across the attacking third.
