Atlético Madrid’s offer to sign Julian Álvarez might be interpreted in multiple ways.
On the one hand, it is an incredible piece of business that demonstrates Atlético’s ambition. This summer, they made headlines by signing Alexander Sørloth and Robin Le Normand. A deal for Conor Gallagher is also expected. They have been connected with even more summer acquisitions, but we’ll leave that for now. You understand the point. Atlético Madrid means business.

The Álvarez cost of up to €95 million highlights Atlético’s perceived lack of competitiveness in Europe’s top competition, the UEFA Champions League.
In desperate times, transfer fees can be prohibitively expensive. According to theanalyst.
This is their first opportunity to demonstrate their aspirations in a number of years. Several high-earning players, including Álvaro Morata, Saúl Ñíguez, Memphis Depay, Stefan Savic, and Mario Hermoso, left the club this summer, resulting in significant salary savings and transfer fees. Money from prior sales for Matheus Cunha, Renan Lodi, and Yannick Carrasco has also been paid into their bank accounts. The club plans to sell Samu Omorodion to Chelsea and possibly João Félix before the transfer window shuts.
This isn’t evolution. It’s a revolution, and possibly the first by Atlético since Diego Simeone took over in 2011. In 2019, they renovated their squad after selling Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona, Lucas Hernández to Bayern Munich and Rodri to Manchester City.
