A number of Atletico Madrid players prefer the departure of their Argentine colleague, Julián Alvarez, from the team, in light of escalating tension within the dressing room, according to Spanish media reports.
The crisis intensified after Alvarez was subjected to jeers from some Atletico fans during the 2-2 draw against Villarreal at the Metropolitano Stadium, according to the “El Chiringuito” program.
The Argentine striker’s teammates believe that the current situation is beginning to affect his level and focus on the field, considering that his departure may be better for the team’s stability and harmony than the continuation of the current state of tension.
This comes at a time when Alvarez’s future is still a matter of controversy, after his name was linked to a move to Barcelona during the summer transfer period, despite Atletico Madrid’s insistence so far on the stay of its striker.
