Julian Alvarez was quizzed about his future after Atletico’s Champions League win over Tottenham on Tuesday night and insists he’s happy with Diego Simeone’s side.
The Argentine was on target in a 5-2 win over Spurs in the first leg of their last 16 tie and was asked about Barcelona after the final whistle.
“What do you want me to say? I’ve never said anything. These are things that get said, then they spread like wildfire on social media. You say one thing and it generates comments, but I’ve never said anything,”
he said.
“Who knows, maybe yes, maybe no. I’m happy. It’s a question that’s going to come up everywhere, but I’m happy, I’m thinking about the day-to-day and working to give my best here.
“We’re fighting in the competitions. It’s true that we’re further behind in La Liga, we’re doing well in the Champions League, and then there’s the Copa del Rey final.”
Joan Laporta was also asked about Alvarez today, telling reporters that he’s not a player worth breaking the bank for and that he’d need to “show his willingness to come first.”
