Julian Alvarez Requests Atletico Madrid Exit

Argentina striker Julian Alvarez announced he wants to leave Atletico Madrid to 'fulfil his dream,' sparking a transfer frenzy.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs linked with the 26-year-old.

Alvarez, who is currently at the World Cup with Argentina, said he had spoken with people at the club and those he had to, and that his decision was made.
