Atletico Madrid supporters and Julian Alvarez
Friday
Atletico Madrid supporters have escalated their backlash against Julian Alvarez by placing protest banners outside the club’s training ground demanding his departure. The demonstrations follow hostile chants during the La Liga opener after Alvarez pushed for a move away this summer.
Diego Simeone continues to say Alvarez remains central to his plans, while Atletico have refused to sanction his preferred Barcelona move. The increasingly public fan revolt adds another complication to a transfer dispute that has already damaged the striker’s relationship with supporters.
