Atletico Madrid's president has denied rumors that the club rejected a €150 million bid for forward Julián Álvarez. The denial came after reports circulated in Spanish media suggesting the club had turned down a massive offer for the Argentine striker.
The denial
The president told reporters that no such bid had been received, let alone rejected. He called the rumors “completely false” and said they were based on no concrete information. The club's top executive emphasized that Atlético Madrid has not been in negotiations with any party regarding Álvarez's transfer.
The rumor's origin
The rumor, which spread quickly across social media and sports news outlets, claimed that an unnamed club had offered €150 million for the forward. The figure would have been one of the highest in football history, but the president's statement puts an end to that speculation. No details about the supposed buying club were ever confirmed.
With the denial now public, the focus shifts to Atlético Madrid's upcoming transfer window plans. The club has not commented on any other potential moves, and Álvarez's future remains unchanged for now. The president's remarks may also quiet further rumors until the club makes an official announcement about any real transfer activity.
