Atlético Madrid Chief Executive Officer Miguel Ángel Gil Marín has criticised the advice surrounding Julián Álvarez’s professional career while reaffirming the club’s commitment to helping the Argentina forward reach his full potential.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano on X on Friday, speaking to EFR, Gil said Atlético would continue to support and protect Álvarez as the club looks to keep him competing at the highest level in European football.

“We are going to help Julián Álvarez, and we are going to continue to take care of him so that he can give us his full potential, because we need him to continue competing among the greats of Europe,” Gil said.

The Atlético chief also suggested that Álvarez had not received the best guidance in recent months.
