"Against Bruges, you win and everything is based on Oblak and his save; against Barcelona, you win 4-0 and everything is based on Griezmann leaving; against Tottenham, you win 5-2 and everything is based on Julian Alvarez. I tell our people that we are fine. I said we would compete and we are going to compete."
"The 26-year-old Argentina international was asked about reports suggesting he is a target for Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea after scoring twice in Tuesday night's 5-2 Champions League victory over Tottenham. Some interpreted Alvarez's refusal to categorically rule out a switch as evidence it could happen, despite his insistence that he is happy at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano."
Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone addressed mounting transfer speculation after striker Julián Álvarez was linked with Barcelona, Arsenal, and Chelsea following a strong Champions League performance. Álvarez's ambiguous response to transfer questions fueled speculation despite claiming contentment at the club. Goalkeeper Jan Oblak and forward Antoine Griezmann have also attracted transfer interest recently. Simeone expressed frustration at media narratives attributing team success to individual players potentially leaving, stating the squad remains focused on competition. Atlético advanced in the Champions League with a 5-2 victory over Tottenham and face Getafe in LaLiga while trailing Real Madrid by nine points.
