Cerezo shuts it down angrily: Julian Alvarez will not leave

Atlético's president firmly insisted Julián Alvarez is staying despite growing speculation over his future.

Atlético Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has firmly shut down the debate over Julián Alvarez's future, insisting in strong terms that the club has no intention of letting the Argentine forward leave.

The response came amid rising transfer talk linking the striker with a move elsewhere this summer, but Cerezo stressed that Alvarez is staying and that exit claims have no basis for now.

The comments send a clear message about Atlético's position, even if speculation around the attacker continues in the media over the coming days.
