Atlético Madrid forward Julián Alvarez missed Wednesday’s training session after reportedly feeling unwell, adding another twist to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future at the Spanish club.
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported, citing Marca, that the Argentina international was absent from Atlético’s training because of illness. Romano said Álvarez was simply “feeling unwell” as he stayed away from the session.
The absence comes at a time when Álvarez’s future remains a major talking point. The 26-year-old has expressed his desire to leave Atlético, with Barcelona understood to be his preferred destination.
However, Atlético have remained firm on their position over the striker, while Arsenal are also monitoring the situation and could become an option if Álvarez decides to consider a move to the Premier League.
