The future of Julián Álvarez is once again a major talking point across Europe. The Argentine forward, currently shining at Atlético Madrid, has reportedly caught the eye of FC Barcelona, who are looking to strengthen their attack ahead of next summer amid the likely departure of Robert Lewandowski. However, a voice with deep ties to both clubs — Sergio “Kun” Agüero — has stepped in to urge patience and perspective regarding the young striker’s situation.

“Atlético should enjoy him”

The former Argentine star, who represented both Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, addressed the ongoing transfer rumors and sent a clear message to the Colchoneros:

“Atlético Madrid should enjoy having him, and the fans should too. I wouldn’t speculate about future transfers — this is the time to appreciate what he’s doing with Atlético.”

With those words, Agüero made it clear that he doesn’t share the growing excitement over a potential move, emphasizing that Álvarez is in a defining stage of his career and should focus on consolidating himself at the elite level rather than rushing into change.
