Atlético Madrid star Julián Alvarez has been advised by sources close to him to take into consideration issuing a personal apology to his employers.
This comes after the Argentine went public with his desire to depart the Metropolitano amid interest from La Liga rivals Barcelona.
The name of frontman Alvarez has of course positioned itself centre stage in the media headlines throughout Spain across the summer to date. After Robert Lewandowski was allowed to depart the aforementioned Barcelona on a free transfer, the 26-year-old was identified as the ideal replacement.
Desperate to secure a Camp Nou switch, Alvarez therefore confirmed whilst on international duty that:
“I spoke with people at the club, with those I had to speak with and the best thing for everyone is a transfer. I want to fulfil my dream.”
To date, however, Atlético have refused to open the door to a transfer, leaving club and player alike in an awkward position.
With as much in mind, as alluded to above, Alvarez has this week therefore been urged to kickstart efforts to repair his relationship with the Rojiblancos.
As per a report from journalist Achraf Ben Ayad :
‘There are those advising Julián to offer an apology to Atletico.’
